Harmless fun if you are in the mood.
[quote=āscherpschutter, post:11, topic:1539ā]Did they get a 16 rating in Germany ? For what reason ?
As far as I remember thereās no sex in them, and the violence is minimal
The humour is a bit childish indeed, but itās all well-timed and well-executed, so it doesnāt matter
The humor of the Trinity movies is closer to Laurel & Hardy than to Chaplin; I prefer the Chaplin approach, but can appreciate both types of humor.[/quote]
FSK 16, both.
Trinity Is Still My Name was 10 years later downgraded to FSK 12 for the fun dubbed rerelease, which was also 13 min shorter.
But the first is still FSK 16. Of course a DVD distributor will easily get the FSK 12, if he is ready to spend the money for a new check.
Yeah I agree with autophex that the jokes in Invinicible were meant for a mature audience, with the gay and s and m references. But the jokes were really stupid, like one a Pauly Shore or Tom Green movie. Stupid humour. The trinity movies for all intent and purposes were family films, with innocent jokes, such as farting babies and whatnot. But I guess you can accuse the movies of making heroes out of Criminals, since Trinity and Bambino were outlaws afterall. Either way, at least the Trinity movies were well made, entertaining and even made me laugh a little. Invincilble on the other hand was just torture for me to watch.
I can agree with this. Perhaps then, adolescent or immature humor, but not necessarily childish 
Does Hilton wear the same get up as in his Hallelujah movies? I sometimes mistake the two.
Yes, same. Also no difference in the character. Donāt know why they changed the name to Tresette.
Yeah I just re-watched They Call Me Hallelujah again the other night before watching Invincible, and I thought they had a very similar feelā¦ Invicible obviously being more over the top and very silly, as well as less violent- Still, easily the same character and attitude
From the 2nd Halleluja it was only a small step to the Tresette films.
Does Tressette translate to anything in Enlgish?
This is quoted from an Italian viewer in response to a question I had regarding the original title of CRAZY BUNCH.
Tresette (literally: threeseven) itās a card game which is normally played by 4 players (2 couples) but sometime, can be played with the ādead oneā (il morto), i.e. by three players, one of whom is playing with the dead one.
I likeit. It has a strange charm and is fun. The jokes werenāt funny but those in Dicke Luft were. But it really didnāt have a plot soooā¦
Saw this one yesterday at the office, just to start the new year with a few laughs. I must confess I was never much into the comedy lot, even those Italian 70 and 80ās comedies were never my cup of tea (unless they were sex comedies of course), I was more on the intellectual side of things, so that means Monty Phyton side of humour, but in any case I sometimes had to play along with the rest of the mates, and from time to time a Alvaro Vitali comedy was seen, mostly cause one guy in school looked like a copy of Vitali (still does) ;D (imagine the flack on the poor guy)
Anyway it wasnāt a waste of time, the film works like an normal Italian comedy from the period with the not so inspired and very direct gags, but in a all the film worked for me, and more than the gay jokes, notice some strong drug use direct references, only possible on that time in films of this kind for an all audience, first Hilton sniffing gold lik if it as coke, and then one of the devil dressed henchmenās was clearly smoking a joint.
Hilton was perfect for this parts and Huerta not seeming the Spencer time (lacked a few more inches), was even so believable as the bull alike character.
The crowd here also liked, it was a success I might say, but they are happy with little.
Anyway must have some more of this stuff if I have a lot of Italian sex comedies (most of it not funny at all, but the babe factor is indeed quite interesting), I can also have some of this stuff, and in my opinion these are much different films from the Trinita ones.
I think funniest thing in the film was Tony Nortonās character Twinkletoes who is always trying to beat Tricky Dicky in a duel. Joke continues in the sequel Crazy Bunch which I think is better film, more crazy character with stupid names, more over-the-top humor and absurdity.
Had avoided this one for years but have now reached the point in my Spaghetti watching where the avoided can be avoided no longer unless I give up on new stuff and just rewatch what Iāve seen before. So, after 10 minutes Iām already drifting off. I fight it to try and see it through and I successfully saw the end but I have to be honest and say there was a big half hour hole in there that I slept through and Iām not inclined to go back to see what I missed.
The kindest thing I can say is that this is really not my cup of tea.
Iāll have to wait till Iām in a stronger frame of mind to take on The Crazy Bunch.
Footnote: Boring and unfunny is one thing, but putting a moustache on Rosalba Neri?!? Thatās just sacrilege. :o
Yes me to, the day will comeā¦but in no rush.
Canāt think of anything worse than a comedy thats not funny.
another total wast of time and money >:(
the crazh bunch itās even much more trash than this
Anyone happen to have the Italian DVD release? I was just examining my copy of the South African DVD, and it appears to be a PAL->NTSC conversion. Its also really low resolution, basically like a letterboxed DVD and it has the Italian title in the opening credits with the English title added digitally underneath it (the English title even extends off the picture and into the black bottom border.) The AR on the South African DVD is actually 2.2:1 instead of 1.85. Runtime is 1hr21m.
Iām wondering if this DVD was produced using the Italian DVD since its a conversion from PAL source. But according to the Amazon product page, the Italian DVD is 1.78:1 and runtime is 1hr26m. Not that this info is always correct
Or maybe someone knows of other releases not listed in the DB
