They Call Me Trinity (Italian: Lo chiamavano Trinità...) is a 1970 spaghetti Western comedy film written and directed by Enzo Barboni (under the pseudonym of E.B. Clucher) and produced by Italo Zingarelli. The film stars the duo of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer as half-brothers Trinity and Bambino, who help defend a Mormon settlement from Mexican bandits and the henchmen of the land-grabbing Major Harriman. It was filmed on location in Campo Imperatore, Abruzzo, Italy, with financial backing from West Film.

A sequel, Trinity Is Still My Name, was more successful than They Call Me Trinity.[5] In 1995, Sons of Trinity, starring Heath Kizzier and Keith Neubert, was released as a continuation of the Trinity series.
