Description: Hen's Tooth Video proudly presents two of the most successful Spaghetti Westerns ever made in a boxed set edition. Terence Hill (Mario Girotti) and Bud Spencer (Carlo Pedersoli) star in these wildly popular spoofs of the Italian Western genre. THEY CALL ME TRINITY and TRINITY IS STILL MY NAME are presented here for the first time in their theatrically correct anamorphic widescreen ratios, mastered from magnificent Technicolor prints. These comedies paved the way for Mel Brooks' Western send-up Blazing Saddles and made international superstars out of the team of Hill and Spencer, ushering in a twenty-five year association for the two actors. Together and separately they worked with some of the best Italian directors in the business (Sergio Leone, Sergio Corbucci, and Luchino Visconti). The Trinities were followed by hits like Crimebusters, Miami Supercops, Odds and Evens and countless others. Sit back and enjoy a double dose of Western comedy, Italian style!
Nice prints... but you want THESE uncut versions It's great to see these Trinity movies in a box set...but they are missing a few scenes. ON AIR, a danish company, has had widescreen remastered uncut and complete versions for a few years now. They are beautiful prints nice colours and sharp. They include the FAMILY MEAL PRAYER scene and BAMBINO'S CONFESSION in the monastery. Visit www.on-air-video.dk then order through AMAZON!
UK release has extended interviews with Terence and Bud!! Great films and a great price on the two pack!! But what about the skimpy features?
Heads up to fans that the remastered UK release of these films has great present-day extended interviews with both Terence and Bud. Terence speaks pretty good english but Bud never did speak english and his interview is subtitled. Great stories and memories from the old days and gives one a better understanding of what they were trying to do.
What a shame they didn't include these rare interviews on this new US release. But that's how it always goes over here. (Check out the UK release of Bronson's Red Sun with a SUPER RARE interview with the normally tight-lipped Bronson!?!) Ahh the joys of a region free DVD player....
If you like these films, skip the unofficial third installment of this Trinity Trilogy titled 'The Trouble Makers' and check out 'Watch Out We're Mad' instead - it's hilarious!!
Trinity and Bambino finally in anamorphic WIDESCREEN!!! Great job Hen's Tooth Home video!!! Finally Anamorphic Widescreen releases of They Call Me Trinity and Trinity is Still My Name!!! The visuals are leaps and bounds better than the other Fullscreen vresions that I've seen in the past on DVD,they looked like poor VHS copies(Direct Source comes to mind) trasferred on DVD. Well all that's fixed in this set which was mastered from original film negatives!!!A bit low on extras,but hey these spaghetti western comedy gems finally have been released properly!!! So enjoy Trinity and Bambino the way they were meant to be seen,in beautiful widescreen!!! Worth the extra bucks!!! Recommeded!!! Two thumbs up!!! A+
Quality reproduction at last!!!!!!! I shall begin by explaining to other reviewers, why there is a missing sequence in Trinity Is Still My Name. All the other poor quality versions are not official releases. The official Italian released version removed the scene where the mother was talking about having the boys out of wedlock. Italy being predominantly Church based and given the era, it was decided to be prudent. And given that the "spaghetti" western era was at an end at this time, it was decided to leave this scene on the cutting room floor. Hen's Tooth Video have done a magnificent job on these re-productions. The video is crisp and sharp (even being played here in Australia on a PAL/NTSC compatible system. I use a 42" Plasma and these "scale" up to their perfect anamorphic size while no quality losses are noted. I have seen MANY copies of these two movies from all over the world, both PAL and NTSC versions. This set is the best available in English. If you love these two actors as much as I do, then this set is for you. You will not be disappointed. Maybe one day, full on re-mastered versions will be authorized, with all missing scenes and DTS 5.1.
Absurdly funny I never watched Westerns as a kid, so my recent introduction to the Trinity movies was a real treat. These movies aren't of the best quality (production-wise), but I understand from other reviews that this particular version is far superior to any others out there. But the stories are hilarious, and everyone in my family loved them - from my 60-ish dad on down to my 8-year-old little sister. Trinity's laziness is legendary, his filth is unparalleled, and these movies can't really be compared to anything other than Blazing Saddles. The humor here is a little less ribald, but still funny enough that you'll want to watch them over and over.
