Brilliant and touching

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Django's Cut Price Western more like! I don't know why Demofilo Fidani gets the label of 'the Italian Ed Wood' when folks like Luigi Batzella were producing crap like this. At one point a stagecoach rides right past a modern car! Every single thing about this film screams 'cheap and half-arsed'. Plus, this is from the director who would give us nazisploitation films Achtung! The Desert Tigers and The Beast In Heat, so if you've watched them (unlikely) you'll know what to expect here. Django arrives in town just as the most terrible bar fight committed to film is taking place at a local taverna. Some big fellow is throwing people around and while the only other customer is sitting at a table playing cards, Django pitches in and helps the guy. I think most people would have let the bad editing, terrible acting and even worse stunt work help them decide that this film was kack and switch it off, but not me. I'm too dumb for that.Django is trying to track down the Cortez brothers for reasons known only to himself while the other guy is also trying to track them down to retrieve gold that has been stolen, not ten seconds after this one of the Cortez brothers turns up, only it's obvious to all that the dude is a lady (even though this is revealed later, no clear explanation is made for why this is happening in the first place). More crap happens and
etc
Pish poor in every department, from the aforementioned car in the background to it all looking like it was filmed in someone's back garden, to the crappy editing to characters seemingly changing position between shots, to the deplorable acting of the captive gringo lady, and worst of all the almost complete lack of gunfights for the entire duration of the film, this is about as bad as spaghetti Westerns get. It's still better than the Beast in Heat though!

Django hunts down a gang of evil bandits who have abducted his girlfriend.I have recently ploughed through a lot of routine bog-standard spaghetti westerns and have increasingly discovered that the genre sure had a lot of unremarkable and tedious features on offer. This one is another of dozens that went out under the Django name and it is unfortunately yet another example of the plethora of forgettable Italian westerns. The story-line is deeply uninteresting and the action is, at best, routine. There is not a whole lot memorable about this one at all. Its director is Luigi Batzella, going under the moniker Paolo Solvay, who was best known to me as the director of the later notorious nazisploitation The Beast in Heat (1977) which made the UK video nasty list. As uneven as that grim sleaze-fest was, I would certainly recommend watching it over this thoroughly uninspired western.

Rugged fast-on-the-draw bounty hunter Django (smoothly played by Jeff Cameron) hunts down notorious bank-robbing outlaws the Cortez brothers. He's assisted by shrewd card sharp Fulton (an engaging performance by Gengher Gatti) and hale'n'hearty hombre Pickwick (robustly essayed with amiable scruffy charm by John Desmont), who just wants to get his saddle back (and beats people up with said saddle!). Meanwhile, several other folks plot to get their greedy hands on the stolen loot. Director Luigi Batzella, who also co-wrote the straightforward script with Mari De Rosa and Gaetano Dell 'Era, relates the fun story at a snappy pace, stages the shoot-outs and fisticuffs with considerable aplomb, and further spruces things up with a few amusing touches of goofy humor. Cameron and Desmont display a winning chemistry in the leads, Edilio Kim makes for a perfectly hissable villain as ruthless bandito gang leader Ramon, gorgeous brunette knockout Angela Portaluri supplies lots of sizzle as sexy'n'scheming saloon gal Donna Dolores, and the fetching Esmeralda Barros likewise provides extra spark as the spunky Pillar. Giorgio Montagnani's crisp and lively cinematography injects an additional rip-snorting energy. Vasili Kojucharov's twangy score hits the rousing spot. Best of all, there are a few neat surprise twists at the very end. An enjoyable oater.

This is really not a bad little western. It may make you scratch your head a little in a couple of parts, but even some of the great spaghetti westerns do that sometimes. The overall story is easy to follow if you just sit back and enjoy it for what it is- mindless escapist fun.The music is generically suitable for a spaghetti western. The acting is bad, but after a while it just seems like part of the personality of the characters. The main bad guy has a couple of unintentionally funny lines that made me chuckle. There's also an oddball character who laughs at things that aren't funny and likes to bludgeon people with his saddle when he gets into fights.Being a fan of spaghetti westerns, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. If you aren't a spaghetti western lover, you might not like it so much.
