A Genius, Two Partners and a Dupe (Italian: Un genio, due compari, un pollo) also known as: Nobody's the Greatest or Trinity is Back Again is a 1975 Italian Spaghetti Western comedy film directed by Damiano Damiani, who wrote the screenplay with Sergio Leone, who also produced, supervised and was the one who suggested the idea for the film.
A Genius, Two Partners and a Dupe is considered the most forgotten film made by Sergio Leone, who was so disappointed with the final result of the film that he chose to remove his name from the credits.
The following weapons were used in the film A Genius, Two Partners and a Dupe:
Revolvers
Like most characters in Terence Hill's Western films, Joe Thanks carries a Colt 1851 Navy as his sidearm. In some scenes it changes from a Colt 1851 Navy Percussion to an anachronistic cartridge conversion Colt 1851 Navy.
Colt Single Action Army
Doc Foster (Klaus Kinski), Sergeant Milton (Raimund Harmstorf), and many others characters in the film use Colt Single Action Army with different barrel lengths.
Rifles
Remington Model 1867 Rolling Block Carbine
Several soldiers at the military fort carry what appear to be Remington Rolling Block Carbine. They are not used very often in the film, probably because the production lacked .45-70 blank cartridges.
Springfield Trapdoor Carbine
Some natives carries Springfield Trapdoor M1884 Carbines during some scenes, but it is not as common to see it. The Winchester Model 1892 is more commonly used.
Winchester Model 1892
One of Mortimer's henchmen (Pietro Torrisi) carries a Winchester Model 1892 (not a Saddle Ring carbine like the other characters carry). Other minor characters also use the same rifle, but they are difficult to identify because are easily confused with the Saddle Ring Carbine variant that is more common in the film.
Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine
Both some Union soldiers, natives, and outlaws carry a Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbines.
Shotguns
Winchester Model 1897 Riot Gun
At the beginning of the movie, Thomas Trader (Mario Valgoi) uses a Winchester Model 1897 to protect his property from Jacky Roll (Piero Vida) and his henchmen.
