Line 4: A duology of Italian [[Spaghetti Western]] movies starring Terence Hill as the [[The Gunslinger\|eponymous Trinity]] and Bud Spencer as his [[Sibling Team\|older brother Bambino]]. The movies were written and directed by Enzo Barboni and quickly became a runaway success, [[Follow the Leader\|spawning the entire genre of Western comedy]] in [[The Seventies]]. The films also played a major role in consolidating Hill and Spencer's fame as [[Those Two Actors]], and they went on to co-star in over a dozen more movies. * '''''They Call Me Trinity''''' (1971). Trinity, literally the [[Fastest Gun in ~~The~~the West]], arrives to a small town somewhere [[The Wild West]] where his [[Different As Night and Day]] older brother Bambino ([[Embarrassing First Name\|means "Baby" in Italian]]) poses as a sheriff, while the rest of his gang is away on business. Soon enough, he discovers a [[Perfect Pacifist People\|Mormon]] settlement on the outskirts of the town and becomes enamored with two Mormon girls. The Mormons, however, are being driven out of their land by a ruthless Major Harriman who hires goons to harass them. Trinity is inclined to help and even enlists Bambino to [[Teach Me How to Fight\|teach Mormon guys some dirty fighting tricks]]... [[Hilarity Ensues\|Much hilarious ass-whooping ensues]]. * '''''Trinity Is STILL My Name!''''' (1972). After making [[The Promise]] to their {{spoiler\|not really}} dying father, Bambino is stuck with Trinity and has to teach him the secrets of horse-stealing. The rest of the movie is basically a collection of positively side-splitting exchanges between the two brothers and whoever they meet along the way, over-the-top brawls, gambling, [[Gun Twirling]], [[Improbable Aiming Skills]], and [[Bloodstained -Glass Windows\|one seven-minutes long fight inside a monastery]]. The first movie has been accidentally released into the public domain upon its release. There are other films published under the ''Trinity'' brand but only these two are true to canon. The rest are earlier, more [[Darker and Edgier\|serious and grim]] films also starring Hill and Spencer but in different roles. ~~----~~ ~~=== The movies contain examples of following tropes: ===~~ {{tropelist}} * [[As the Good Book Says...]]: In the first movie, it is actually a quote from [[The Bible\|Book of Ecclesiastes]] that finally convinces the Mormons to fight for their rights. * [[Bloodstained -Glass Windows]]: There is no actual blood spilled, but the final fight scene in the second movie takes place inside a monastery. With the monks participating. * [[Did Not Do the Research]]: The Mormons in the first movie are fairly militant pacifists, unlike the historical Latter-Day Saints. Or more like [[They Just Didn't Care]]... * [[Different As Night and Day]]: Trinity is easygoing and fun loving, whereas Bambino is constantly grumbling and serious. Line 18 ⟶ 17: * [[Extremity Extremist]]: Shy from the first movie fights only using his legs and feet. * [[Evilly Affable]]: The [[Big Bad]] of the first movie, Major Harriman, is an excellent example of this trope. He's cruel enough to want to massacre an entire settlement of religious pacifists (women and children included) just to pasture his horses, but he is also witty, cultivated and a very polite Southern Gentleman. He even tips his hat to the heroes as he rides off in defeat. * [[Fastest Gun in ~~The~~the West]]: Trinity is acknowledged as the one in the beginning of the first movie. [[Offhand Backhand\|And it shows.]] * [[Follow the Leader]]: The films paved way for many an imitation. * [[French Cuisine Is Haughty]]: In the second movie, the two borderline-illiterate outlaw brothers suddenly find themselves really rich, buy smart suits and go to an expensive French restaurant. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
