A duology of Italian SpaghettiWestern movies starring Creator/TerenceHill as the [[TheGunslinger eponymous Trinity]] and Creator/BudSpencer as his [[SiblingTeam older brother Bambino]]. The movies were written and directed by Enzo Barboni and quickly became a runaway success, [[FollowTheLeader spawning the entire genre of Western comedy]] in TheSeventies. The films also played a major role in consolidating Hill and Spencer's fame as ThoseTwoActors, and they went on to co-star in over a dozen more movies.

* ''They Call Me Trinity'' (1971). Trinity, the resident FastestGunInTheWest, arrives in a small town somewhere in TheWildWest where his outlaw older brother Bambino ([[EmbarrassingFirstName meaning "child" in Italian]]) poses as a sheriff, while the rest of his gang is away on business. Soon enough, he discovers a [[PerfectPacifistPeople 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 [[TeachMeHowToFight teach the Mormon guys some dirty fighting tricks]]... [[HilarityEnsues Much hilarious ass-whooping ensues]].
* ''Trinity Is STILL My Name!'' (1972). After making ThePromise to their (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, GunTwirling, ImprobableAimingSkills, and [[BloodstainedGlassWindows one seven-minute long fight inside a monastery]].

The first movie was accidentally made 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 [[DarkerAndEdgier serious and grim]] films also starring Hill and Spencer but in different roles.

!!The ''Trinity'' movies provides examples of:

* AsTheGoodBookSays: In the first movie, it is actually a quote from the [[Literature/TheBible Book of Ecclesiastes]] that finally convinces the Mormons to fight for their rights.
* BadassFamily: We only see Trinity and Bambino's parents for a short time, but it quickly becomes apparent where they got it from.
* BadBoss: Mezcal beats and kicks everyone in arm's range, and his goons aren't spared for that.
* {{Bandito}}: Mezcal and his gang, who harass the Mormons.
* BarBrawl
* BigEater: Trinity begins the first movie by inhaling an entire pan of beans. The second movie begins with Trinity and Bambino separately inhaling a pan of beans each, and later consuming huge quantities of food at a fancy French restaurant.
* BloodstainedGlassWindows: There is no actual blood spilled, but the final fight scene in the second movie takes place inside a monastery. With the monks participating.
* ChickMagnet: From the Mormon girls in the first movie to the FarmersDaughter and a wealthy restaurant patron in the second, ''every'' young woman wants a piece of Trinity.
* ChurchMilitant:
** In the first movie, Trinity and Bambino (both criminals themselves) assist some Mormon settlers in fighting off Mexican marauders who take advantage of their vow of nonviolence. By the end of the movie, Bambino and Trinity have taught the religious people how to defend themselves. The movie ends with the Mormon people making a stand for themselves and defeating the Mexicans.
** In the second movie, Trinity and Bambino wind up in a monastery where several criminals are hiding and pretending to be monks. When Bambino asks the true monks to raise their hands, everyone raises their hands. Trinity responds by saying, "Every monk who is a monk, hit a monk that ain't a monk."
* CutASliceTakeTheRest: In the beginning of the first movie, Trinity [[TheDrifter drifts]] into a bar to have a meal after a long journey. The bartender gives him two scoops of beans. However he eats from the pan and proceeds to empty it under the disgusted looks of the others.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: "Shut up, and don't call me 'Bambino'."
* EnemyMine: The Mexicans and the Major's goons team up to drive the Mormons off their land.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** Trinity's confrontation with bounty hunters.
** Bambino's confrontation with three men who want him to release their friend.
* EvilWearsBlack: The two hitmen hired by the Major in the later part of the first movie are dressed in all black outfits and are set up as major threats to the duo. [[spoiler:They are dealt with in less than 10 minutes after their introduction]].
* ExtremityExtremist: Shy from the first movie fights only using his legs and feet.
* FastestGunInTheWest (see also ImprobableAimingSkills below):
** Trinity is acknowledged as the one in the beginning of the first movie. [[OffhandBackhand And it shows.]]
** Bambino is pretty fast too, though.
* FauxAffablyEvil: The BigBad of the first movie, Major Harriman, is cruel enough to want to massacre a settlement of religious pacifists (women and children included) just to pasture his horses, but he is also a witty, sophisticated and very polite Southern Gentleman. He even tips his hat to the heroes as he rides off in defeat.
--> '''Brother Tobias''': You lost your battle Major, from the very moment you descended that hill.
--> '''Major Harriman''': The opinions of others no matter how idiotic should be respected. I certainly will not be the one to violate the rules of good manners. Jeff, tears the house down.
* FrenchCuisineIsHaughty: 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. HilarityEnsues.
* GamblingBrawl: In ''Trinity Is STILL My Name!'', Trinity wins big in a poker game and is accused of cheating by a fellow cardsharp. Rather than accept his challenge, Trinity simply demonstrates his quick-draw skills by (repeatedly) slapping the man across the face and then pointing the gun at it ''with the same hand'', forcing him to retreat.
* GroinAttack: Trinity does this to one of the Major's goons. Through the floorboards, even.
* TheGunslinger:
** Trinity is known as "the Right Hand of the Devil".
** Appropriately, Bambino is "the Left Hand". In case you haven't figured it out, he is left-handed. To the point that the German dub was given the title "Die rechte und die linke Hand des Teufels" (The Devil's right and left hand).
* GunTwirling: At one point in the second movie, Trinity manages to bitch-slap a guy ''fifteen times'', twirling out a gun into his face with ''the same hand'', to and from its ''holster''. Before said guy even has a chance to reach out for his own! To give an idea of how fast he did it, when done at full speed each slap was timed at just under ''two seconds''! And immediately after, while walking away, the guy tries to draw and shoot him, but Trinity [[BlastingItOutOfTheirHands shoots the gun out of his hand.]]
* HeavySleeper: The movie opens with Trinity taking a nap on a hammock... That is being ''pulled by his horse''. The bumpy terrain doesn't impede his sleep any, and neither does a ''shallow river they cross''.
* IMeantToDoThat: The first movie features [[TrainingThePeacefulVillagers combat training with a group of Mormons]]. When one of the Mormons, during an actual battle, attempts to use Bud's trademark grapple, he keeps accidentally flipping the other guy 360 degrees — landing him right back on his feet. Repeat three times...
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Done in the first movie where Trinity is explaining to Bambino (his brother) why they had to beat somebody up.
-->'''Trinity:''' He called our mother an old... ''[whispers]''\\
'''Bambino:''' She is.\\
'''Trinity:''' She's not that old.
* ImplacableMan: Bambino is only once given trouble in a physical fight in both films, and that was when he was dogpiled by thirty men. Once a few were pulled off, ''he sent the rest flying.'' In another instance, a guy keeps finding bigger and bigger things to hit him with, and it's a NoSell every time. Even [[{{LightningBruiser}} Trinity's]] punch doesn't do much more than annoy him, and Trinity ''very quickly'' apologizes and gets away from Bambino immediately after.
* ImprobableAimingSkills (see FastestGunInTheWest above):
** Trinity has quite godlike powers with his revolver, hitting his targets without even looking.
** As does Bambino. At one point, the BigBad of the second movie is attempting to passively threaten the brothers. Trinity quick-draws, fires from the hip, and ''lights a cigarette'' one of the Mooks was about to smoke. Then Bambino pulls the same trick to extinguish it.
* LightningBruiser: Trinity, unlike his brother, is as fast in a fistfight as he is with his gun, and when he accidentally punches Bambino in the face, it's the only time in two films that ''any'' attack actually affects Bambino. Granted, it only knocks Bambino's head back and he looks annoyed afterwards, but the guy who ''broke a table on him'' gets less reaction.
* MartialPacifist: The farmers in the first movie undergoes a transition from [[ActualPacifist Actual Pacifists]] to this trope in the climax after being trained by the duo and hearing a quote from [[Literature/TheBible Book of Ecclesiastes]] that make them consider violence as a valuable option, and they end up making short work of the BigBad's men.
* MightyGlacier: Contrasting his brother Trinity, who is fast, acrobatic, and [[CombatPragmatist uses the environnment to his advantage]] in conjunction to his strength and speed, Bambino is much slower and less agile but is even stronger than his brother and doesn't react to being hit (except when it's Trinity hitting him). See ImplacableMan.
* MuggingTheMonster:
** In the first film, bounty hunters examine and harass Trinity because they think he could be a fugitive. When he tells them that the people call him "Trinity", they are suddenly very scared. Doesn't stop them trying to shoot him when he leaves anyway. He just shoots them dead.
** In the first film, three men threaten Bambino because he does not want to release their friend. They did not know he is such a quick draw. They end up shot dead.
** Later on, the Major hires two guns to kill Trinity. They meet up in a general goods store, and Trinity demands to see their underwear. [[spoiler:Cut to outside, and the sound of violence, before the two men run screaming from the building, sans pants]].
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Trinity is known as the Right Hand of the Devil, due to his quickdraw and godlike aim. His older brother, Bambino, is known as the Left Hand of the Devil for being left-handed and just as quick and deadly.
* NonNudeBathing: In the first film, the Mormon girls have a bath in a river with clothes on.
* NoSell: Everytime someone tries to hit Bambino, he does not seem to feel anything.
* OffhandBackhand: You did read the description of Trinity's gun skills, right?
* OhCrap: At the end of the first film, Trinity's looking ready to settle down with the Mormons and the two girls. Then he hears the preacher talking about how he'll have to labor all day every day, and suddenly he starts getting second thoughts.
* OutdoorBathPeeping: In the first film, the Mormon girls have a bath in a river and Trinity catches them. They are not uncomfortable with that.
* PerfectPacifistPeople: The Mormons in the first movie, until an appropriate quote is found in the Bible.
* ThePigpen: The outlaws at the beginning of the second movie call Trinity "Stinkweed". He stinks so bad that his mother recognizes him by smell before she sees him.
* ThePromise: The major plot driving force in the second movie is Bambino's promise to look out for Trinity to his father, [[spoiler:who was actually only faking his own death]].
* RedBaron: Trinity is known as "the right hand of the Devil" for his quick-draw and his aim. Bambino is known as "the left hand of the Devil" for the same reason (their names match their revolver hands, naturally).
* SiblingTeam: Trinity and Bambino. Though Bambino isn't particularly happy about having a brother like that, they make one hell of a team when they join forces.
* SilentAntagonist: Mortimer, one of the two hitmen hired by the Major in the first movie receives this characterization, remaining completely silent while his nameless partner does all the talking. See EvilWearsBlack.
* SnootyHauteCuisine: In ''Trinity Is STILL My Name!'', after Trinity scores a big win at poker, he and Bambino first get themselves fancy suits, then go to the local ''haute cuisine'' [[FancyDinner restaurant]] to eat. HilarityEnsues as the rustic, barely literate brothers are confronted with table manners, [[HauteCuisineIsWeird tiny meal sizes]], and snobbish restaurant staff and patrons.
%%* SpaghettiWestern
* SonOfAWhore: Trinity and Bambino are the sons of a prostitute from New Orleans. See ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne.
* TeachMeHowToFight: This is the Mormons' request in the first movie.
* TrainingThePeacefulVillagers: Half the plot of the first movie has the heroes teaching a community of pacifists to fight back against the villain who wants the land they've built on. The villagers are so peaceful that they have no idea how to fight, and the heroes end up repeatedly clobbering them during the training exercises.
* WeDoNotKnowEachOther: In the second movie, Trinity and Bambino pretend not to know each other so that they can cheat at cards. The scheme falls apart when a professional gambler accuses Trinity of cheating, which Trinity was doing by giving everyone at the table increasingly good cards, but his brother ended up with the best hand.
* TheWildWest
* WouldHitAGirl: Although he's never seen doing it, Trinity asks Bambino in the first movie if he would shoot "women and children", to which Bambino answers with this sentence, which implies this trope while using another:
--> '''Bambino''': Well, [[WouldntHurtAChild not kids anyway]].
* YouKillItYouBoughtIt: Bambino winds up becoming sheriff of the unnamed town this way. He'd been heading to the border when he saw a man following him, and shot him, only realizing afterwards it was just coincidence they were going the same way. The man was a sheriff, so Bambino took his badge and pretended to be the sheriff until Trinity shows up.
