In Trinity is Still My Name, there is a missing scene where Trinity, Bambino and his mother and father are having dinner and his father tells them they ought to get married. He then proceeds to tell them how he met their mother and she preens as he does this. Well ... that story of how he met their mother is NOT in this version. Which is tragic. I'm going to have to see what else is missing. After waiting for decades for the remastered widescreen release ... it's wildly disappointing that scenes are missing that were in the far far far inferior fullscreen versions that preceeded it. Still it's nice to see it in anamorphic.

I've loved these films ever since I saw them in high school, but I could only see them on terrible copies, and have never seen them in widescreen. The previous DVD releases have also been terrible, with awful sound. But the new release has changed all of that.

First, the video is a hundred times better than anything I've seen before. While the visuals of the Trinity films will never be anything to write home about, everything is now crisp, there are no video distortions, and best of all, it's in widescreen! Second, the sound is dramatically improved. I can now understand dialog that's always been murky in the past. Trinity has been a great love for me, but showing it to the uninitiated has always been a problem because people would bolt as soon as they saw the horrible copy come on the screen. With the new release, I'm having regular viewing parties and bringing new fans into the fold.

The extras are nice, but they're really just the italian movie cards and the trailer. Interesting, but ehh. Still, I'm grateful they're there.

Finally, it's great that the two Trinity films are in one collection. Buy this and you're done. Don't be misled by other Terrence and Bud pics which look like Trinity (with some even being renamed Trinity), because they're not part of the series at all.

This is the most exciting DVD release for me in years. Buy it, you won't regret it.

These two versions look great as far as picture quality goes. But the running times don't seem to match the original running time. Perhaps we can get an amateur dvd detective on the case? They also seem to be from French(the word avec is in the opening credits) source material so they might be shorter prints than the original. But other than that the quality is excellent. The movies are alot of fun and highly recommended. I just hate dvds that are not in original running time though so that is why Iam concerned a little. The box art states that they are from original negatives and they do look the best I have ever seen. But are they edited is the question?

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!

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.

Ok I won't bore you with the story as you can read all the reviews.........its a great spaghetti western you won't be disappointed......when you know its a good spaghetti western your past the first problem,2nd is whether you can get a good dvd copy of it now I know some people says the first movie is ok and the second is good but these are the best dvd copys of these movies your going to find........so there's your advice,there good dvd's.......this review is for the copys distributed by Henstooth Video(Trinity Twin Pack).

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!!

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+

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.

A healthy plate full of spaghetti for the discriminating fan of Westerns. Lots of funny moments in both of these movies--from slapstick to card-sharking and trick-shooting..If you're a fan of this genre this is good stuff..
