Spaghetti Western Trivia ~ “Beans, lots of beans”

In the opening scene of “They Call Me Trinity” Terence Hill drifts in to Mexican cantina and is offered a plate of beans by the proprietor. He instead takes the entire skillet of beans and a loaf of bread. In order for Hill to be able to eat the entire skillet of beans and be able to finish them all and quickly, he fasted for 24 hours the day before.

The beans became a staple and inside joke and they were used in several of Spencer and Hill films in the coming years.
