Terence Hill plays Trinity (aka the left hand of the devil), a lightning fast gunfighter beyond comparison. We first meet him when he is on a travois being dragged into town by his horse. He's barefoot, and has to put his boots on. Fishing out a scorpion, he then puts his boots on and goes in a canteena where his starvation raises some eyebrows. After shooting three men in the blink of an eye, he finishes his meal. If you think this is gruesome, it's actually comedy. Trinity outshoots everyone in this movie. Watch for the running gag of three men supporting a roof whose supports have been shot out. As it turns out, Trinity has come to town to see his brother-the sheriff (aka bambino-the right hand of the devil). This is a comedic spaghetti western without all of the heaviness of a Clint Eastwood western. Enjoy this movie.

This is a truly classic pair of movies. I enjoyed them in the 70's and now my 6 year old and I can enjoy them together. It is good, clean fun. True the quality is not that great, but, look at the credits. My credit card has a higher limit than the budget for this film. BTW, the few non-Italian names in the credits (like Terence Hill & Bud Spencer) are not real. Even the blonde haired blue eyed star (Hill) was born Mario Girotti.

I saw this movie over 25 years ago in San Antonio, Texas, at the now-closed Aztec Three Theatres downtown; a friend of mine asked if I could find this title, and here it is! I can't wait to buy it! Fantastic!

Both movies contain some funny (yet silly) jokes. But if you care at all about the quality--do not purchase this 2-movie set. The picture is fuzzy, and the sound is poor, especially in "Trinity is Still My Name." Try to find a different recording of these movies.

Trinity would shoot up the good the bad and the ugly... he is by far the toughest cowboy never to be filmed in the US.

Although the picture quality is low, the editing is poor and the acting is horrendous, the whole idea of a couple of half-brothers that are the fastest-draw gunslingers in the West is remarkable. Trinity is the cute guy who doesn't like to work. Bambino hates Trinity cause he always gets both of them into trouble. These 2 are known as the left and right hand of the devil, and when they work together they get a job done right, though not the way you might expect.
