Trinity is Still My Name! was released twice in German theatres. Back in 1971 in the original release year and then in 1982, this time with a new (more funnier) dubbing and slightly cut (1:58 instead of 2:05). Both versions have their merrit and give the same movie a completely different tone.

Two of my favourite childhood movies, so I just had to see how they were dubbed in English (these movies don’t actually have an “original” voice track):

They Call Me Trinity / Trinity is Still My Name (1970 – 1971)
Lo chiamavano Trinità / …continuavano a chiamarlo Trinità

Since this was decades before reunification sometimes these movies ended up with different titles in East and West Germany.

Whilst the English titles are almost literal translations of the original Italian, the German title for the first movie was “Die rechte und die linke Hand des Teufels” (“The Right and the Left Hand of the Devil”) whilst the second part was called “Vier Fäuste für ein Halleluja” (“Four Fists for a Hallelujah”) in West and “Der kleine und der müde Joe” (“The Little and the Sleepy Joe”) in East Germany.
