I really liked this duo's Trinity movies, but after that they just kept appearing in repeat formulas, as cops, vagrants, travelers, what have you. This time, they even turned the clock back to feature as (half) brothers, a joke that had really grown tired by this point in their careers.
By 1994, Terence was over the hill and Bud a spent force. They had grown too old to do a mostly silly comedy like TROUBLEMAKERS, and I felt rather sad at the end that either they had not saved enough dough to retire or that they simply did not know when to quit.
I am being generous in giving 5 stars to this unbelievable, repetitive and overlong dud.

The film deals with the famous brothers , Trinity and Bambino , both of whom are two likeable bounty-hunters - Terence Hill and Bud Spencer - who hate each other . Then their mother attempts to reunite them for the celebration of Christmas .
The film is based on a notorious poem , ¨Night before the Christmas¨, whose title was exhibited in many countries and being developed a heart-warming story . As always , they will confront enemies by means of successive struggles without blood , neither gore , nor brutal murders , but entertainment and amusement . The ordinary confrontations are with no violence and predominates comedy and parody , the choreographic fights are slightly made and clean . The humor is continuous , laughters are based on physical differences and diverse personalities of the protagonists . Terence Hill plays as a sympathetic and rogue gunslinger with beautiful eyes and fast-weapon . Bud Spencer as a corpulent, bouncing and grumpy man but with a good heart , helping children and poor people and of course his weakness eating beans . Their silly characters have a certain resemblance to Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy . Storyline is a little bit ridiculous but it has its enjoyable moments here and there . The picture was realized twenty some years later ¨My name is Trinity ¨ and ¨ Trinity is still my name ¨ by E. B. Clucher that obtained too much successes , however this recent version was a flop because of Trinity and Bambino time had passed . Supposed to be the third part but due to copyright problems it couldn't be and is deemed an unofficial sequel. The film provided a nostalgic and familiar reunion of the agreeable pair and is only for their hardcore fans . It contains atmospheric and lively musical score by the Italian musician Pino Donaggio. The motion picture was regularly directed by Terence Hill who also directed and interpreted ¨Lucky Luke¨ in similar approaching to this one. Rating : 5.5/10, passable and acceptable, but inferior than two previous entries.

Estranged brothers Terence Hill and Bud Spencer go to visit their mother, Ruth Buzzi, for Christmas. For fans of slapstick, this violent pair is always a pleasure. Although this isn't the most neatly written movie ever -- the script is by Hill's son Jess -- it's a pleasure watch these two wrangle on screen and beat up other people in their individual styles: raw, violent slapstick can be funny.
It's the last of eighteen films Hill & Spencer starred in together. I'm sure they could have continued it for a few more movies, but Hill is looking a bit old, and Spencer is definitely fat rather than simply enormous. It's hard to believe he was a professional swimmer in his younger days. Also a lawyer and chemist who held several patents. He died in 2016 at the age of 86.

Terence Hill, who also directed, and Bud Spenser are both in fine form in "The Fight Before Christmas" (that's the title under which I saw this movie). The movie looks great and has a good, if not so original, story. Hill and Spenser's supporting cast has quite a few familiar faces in it. You can't beat Ruth Buzzi as the boys mother. My only gripe against "The Fight Before Christmas" has to with its length. It's too long by about twenty minutes. Closing in on two hours is way too long for a silly movie like this. Even though this a silly movie, I laughed quite a few times. (I saw this movie on Youtube.)
Terence and Bud, after 9 years, finally made another movie together! It was just what I expected! Fights, romantic sub plot, and beans. The plot is Travis and Moses mother wants them to come home for christmas, but theres a problem. Moses wont go back to his ma's house because years ago, she let all the horses he stole go free. I liked this movie! The best scene is where Moses is going to get hanged and when they pull the lever the gallow falls apart! It couldnt support Moses' weight! Not as good as a small few of thier movies like Im for the Hippopotamus and Watch out Were Mad but still its a good hill/spencer outing. Supposedly this is supposed to be the third "Trinity" movie, but due to legal hassles, it couldnt be done. Its been 6 years and I'm still waiting for Terence and Bud to make a new comedy! My rating is 7/10.
