A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This sequel to "They Call Me Trinity" has both "Bambino" (Bud Spencer) and his younger brother "Trinity" (Terence Hill) meeting once again but this time at their parent's house in the middle of nowhere. Naturally their mother "Farrah" (Jessica Dublin) is happy to see them and has prepared a feast in their honor. It's at this point that the real fun begins. Now, rather than say too much and risk spoiling this movie for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this was a fairly amusing sequel for the most part. I especially thought that the scene in the fancy restaurant was hilarious. Be that as it may, there were a few dry spots here and there and because of that I don't believe this movie is quite as good as the original. But it's still worth a view for those who enjoy action-packed comedies or Spaghetti-Westerns as a whole. That said, I would recommend that a person watch the first movie prior to this one if only to acquire a little continuity. In any case I rate this movie as slightly above average.

Quite honestly, after seeing the first film in this series (THEY CALL ME TRINITY), I was a little underwhelmed, perhaps sold out by my own high hopes. That pic was the breakthrough buddy-comedy-western smash that made Hill and Spencer into superstars. I enjoyed it, liked its meandering pace and whimsical attitude, but was not blown away.Now, after having seen the follow-up, I get it. Everything that was kinda shaggy, kinda loosey-goosey about the first film has been finely groomed here and the difference is notable. The story plays out slowly but steadily, with proper amounts of both slapstick and action, not to mention some damn fine slapstick action.Spencer's Bambino is introduced first, duping a group of crooks out of their freshly cooked beans in hysterical fashion. Not long after the thugs have regrouped from the incident, along comes Hill's Trinity to do the same exact thing! These two gags set the tone for things: The two protagonists are never cocky or cruel in getting their way; rather they use their charm, and occasionally, Spencer's beefy fists if necessary.The boys head back home in time to hear their father's deathbed wish, that they work together to find their way in the world, rather than constantly bickering. Their resulting adventures lead them to aid (repeatedly) a lost farming family, pose as federal agents, and get involved in a monks-versus-gunrunners battle.The general spirit of the film is kind and genial, and for this reason it reminded me of the films of Jackie Chan's Hong Kong heyday. Much attention is paid to intricate gags (several involving food); there are numerous well-staged and complex fistfights; even a running bit with a flatulent baby that would have seemed right at home in a JC flick.Terence Hill's Trinity is a happy-go-lucky layabout that is too lazy to even ride his own horse (he prefers to be dragged slowly behind on a makeshift cot). Trinity is handsome, charming, funny … a great character to be sure. Hill is capable of doing intense (e.g., VIVA DJANGO), so his embodiment of Trinity speaks as much to his acting chops as it does his personal charisma. As for big Bud Spencer, as Bambino he is the sour to Trinity's sweet. Perennially grumpy, the character owns an underlying air of geniality that seems at odds with his willingness to swing his fists around. You get the feeling Bambino begins each fight with a big resigned sigh, as if he'd really rather be elsewhere. The two actors had appeared together in films several times before this series, but it was the Trinity and Bambino personas that really clicked with audiences of the day.So if you are curious about the fuss over TRINITY, I'd just as soon recommend that you skip right to TRINITY IS STILL MY NAME to get the full gist of Spencer and Hill at their best. 8/10 stars.

I have seen this movie and the other one. Trinity is my name and i find that this one is worse then the first one. I have no idea why they even made another movie it was stupid and pointless sorry to say that i have all of them. I have sat through them number of times and it still drives me to turn it off 5 minutes into the movie. I like Terence Hill movies and i like Bud Spencer but this movie just drove me up the wall. If it had a different story line or at least more of a plot and more comedy it might have been funner and worth the 5 dollars i spent buying all the movies. But you make mistakes so i would say save your money and don't bye this movie or any of the ones that go with it trust me on this one.

This sequel to "They Call Me Trinity" is a slight improvement on the original; it has a couple of chuckles here and there (like Maltin says, the "restaurant scene" is the funniest) and a LARGE-scale final showdown between the "good guys" (including some monks) and the "bad guys", but still nothing to write home about. Hill and Spencer had obviously perfected their screen personas by that point, but it's a pity nobody sat down to write them a real script; the story in "Trinity Is Still My Name!" meanders and tires before long. I would like to say, however, that it may be the best-dubbed movie ever; no awkward synchronization problems are present, and those who did the voices were obviously enjoying their work. You would SWEAR it was filmed in English! (**)
