I usually don't like Terrence Hill when he's being "amusing," but I'll be if he doesn't pull it off in spades in this film. Paired alongside aging gunfighter Henry Fonda, Hill provided me with plenty of laughs.
I also have to mention the Ennio Morricone score. It's excellent (as usual).
Again, I'm not a fan of the TRINITY films. But this comedic spaghetti oater is nearly perfect. It's too bad I couldn't find a place for it in my top 20 as it comes awfully close.
Highly recommended.

I also really like this one - top ten for me. I've always thought Terence was basically playing Trinity in this film, just with a different name. I actually enjoyed the TRINITY movies as a kid, not so much any more. MY NAME IS NOBODY though is still very watchable. I wish Hill would have made more serious SWs as he was superb in all I've seen (Django Prepare A Coffin, Boot Hill, Ace High, God Forgives...I Don't).

For those with a Blu-ray player, this film has just been released in a 40th anniversary edition.
DVD or Blu-ray, either way, it's a must in the genre. Highly recommended.
