Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The first confusing thing about this movie is it's title. It's clearly mark on the title card, 'Pochi dollari per Django', but in the America version, it was reprinted as 'Some Dollars for Django' and in others as 'Django, a bullet for you". It's just a Django picture, a rip-off of Sierre Leone's Clint Eastwood type 'Man with no name' character returns to a Spagnetti Western type town named Mile City when a band of crooks lead by Jim Norton (Frank Wolff) rob a bank. A bounty hunter named Regan (Anthony Steffen) AKA Django is hired to capture them. Regan has no cost, but to pose as the sheriff to get close to the gang, so he can retrieve the large sum of cash. The silent gunslinger works effective: even before the audience see the opening credits, action comes to play. I wouldn't mind it, but I would rather see a big epic opening music number then cutting to the action so the audience can at less get ready for it. It seem rushed. To collect some evidence and capture the ring leader, he wents to see Trevor, the twin-brother of Jim Norton, who is reportedly murdered in the meantime, lives as a farmer. Django is leery and supposes that peaceful Trevor in fact is Jim Norton. However, he is in the grip of an escalating conflict between the farmers, who want to erect barbed wire fences around their land, and the ranchers lead by Bransbury (Alfonso Rojas), whose villain credentials are cemented by the way in which he regularly twists the ends of his moustache in a caddish fashion in a cartoony pose, who want the right for their cattle to roam freely. The farmers suffering from his unpleasant habit of burning down their property, have formed a resistance group, led by Trevor . Trevor, despite appearances, believes in peace and seems to be an essentially good man; only willing to fight when pushed into having no options. The plot about the perplexities around the two Nortons, love and sheriff's honor is overloaded, especially there's no tension around. There is barely any slow parts in the film, it's full of action from beginning to end. Norton daughter Sally (Gloria Osuna) plays his love interest that suppose warms up Regan. His true metamorphosis from a bounty hunter to a straight sheriff to me seems quite unbelievable with no character development between the action scenes. He killed people left and right without asking. There just way too much going on in this story, and I would rather have them stick to one. The scenes are somewhat witty and action pack full. Still, the one shot kills are kinda out cheesy and unlimited bullets for a six barrel hand gun get annoying for a way. The English dub is laughable, but watchable. Carlo Savina music is just a step away from getting mistaken from Ennio Morricone. Carlos Savina theme A Deadly Morning or there will come a morning fits the film, but it comes off more than a Dollar Series knock off. Vocals by Don Powell is just awesome. This movie (Some dollars for Django) is a classic one. Music by Carlo Savina a much underrated composer. I would recommend this movie to all Spaghetti Western fans

Spaghetti and Tortilla Western , co-produced between Spain and Italy and starred by two ordinary Spaghetti actors as the Italian Anthony Steffen and American Frank Wolff and dealing with a confrontation between cattlemen and homesteaders. This is not an actual Django outing , it's a Spaghetti with Chorizo Western crammed with action , shootouts and lots of violence . The film follows the American Western models but also in Spaghetti style . An Italian-Spanish co-production with outdoor sequences filmed in Colmenar Viejo , La Pedriza and Manzanares Del Real , Madrid . It's a medium budget film with usual actors , good technicians, passable production values and acceptable results . 1877 year , Reagan (Anthony Steffen) is a bounty hunter hired by the National Mining Company to recover $ 100,000 stolen by the gang of Jim Norton . Norton and his band are wanted ¨Dead or Alive¨ . After killing three of them , his investigations lead him to Mile City , a cattle town in Montana, land primarily for grazing , there lives Jim's twin brother, the peaceful Trevor (Frank Wolff who a few years later committed suicide) with a niece (Gloria Osuna) , and in which, after posing as a sheriff , he is in the midst of the war between the settlers with their cattle fences and cattlemen led by a nasty baron land (Alfonso Rojas who played thirty five Spaghetti) who advocate for open range needed to feed their cows . Gunmen were hired for a time to keep submitted the settle men and their barbed wire . Meantime the rowdy, free-spending cowboys attracted saloon keepers, gamblers , brothels and all types of frontier riff-raff , the town became notorious for its lawlessness but the new but impostor sheriff puts peace and order . It appears as director the Spanish/Argentinean Leon Klimovsky , but actually, for the most part of its filming by the disagreements arising with Klimovsky was realized by Enzo G. Castellari, which this film was his directorial debut in a sub-genre that became one of its greatest representatives . In fact if you compare the beginning of "7 Winchester for a massacre" which would direct the next year and the end this one seem to be similar direction . It's full of action , exaggerated characters, shootouts and loads of violence . ¨Alambradas de Violencia¨ or ¨Pochi Dollari per Django¨ is an exciting western with breathtaking showdown between the protagonist a bounty hunter gunfighter , Anthony Steffen , and a band's leader , Alfonso Rojas , and his hoodlums as Ennio Girolami . Anthony Steffen is fine , he ravages the screen, kills , shoots , hits and runs . There is plenty of thrills and action in the movie , guaranteeing some shoot'em up or stunts every few minutes . The film blends violence , high body-count and it's fast moving and quite entertaining . Nice score by Carlo Savina , including an enjoyable leitmotif and catching song . There is a very odd implementation of shots in the camera work during some particular scenes as the film approaches its climax , as in the ending gunfights and the customary showdown conclusion . This Western all'Italiana was produced by Marino Girolami , father of Enzo G. Castellari and Ennio Girolami, being middlingly directed by Leon Klimovsky . Leon was a craftsman who directed all kind of genres , as Terror for Paul Naschy (Marshall of hell, Rebellion of dead one , Orgy of vampires , Werewolf shadow, Dr Jekill vs. the werewolf) , Warlike (June 44 attack force Normandy , A bullet for Rommel , Bridge over Elba) and Western (Badland drifter , Reverend Colt , Torrejon city , Death knows no time , Two thousand dollars for Coyote , A dollar for Sartana) . Rating: 5 ; regular but entertaining .

This Italo-Spanish movie has all the classic ingredients of a good spaghetti.Just to set the scene, a bandit along with a bounty killer found themselves against powerful ranch owners, but will these two be able to bring a little law and order to Mile city, where violence and villainy are considered to be a virtue.What an impressive camera work, especially in the opening scene, where you can see the bounty killer on the back of a donkey through the arched hands of the two competitors.I rented the DVD of this movie from LASER(specialist DVD libraries in Dublin), my main criticism of the movie is that the lips are not harmonized with the words, but that shouldn't be a matter of concern as the roses have thorns too.A good combination of Antonio De Teffe and Frank Wolf, both icons of Spaghetti Western.The score adapted for the movie is pleasant to hear. Note, the song "there will come a morning" by Carlo Savina.it is movie I would recommend to a friend, and a foe for a change!

Although this one is not a real Django entry - Steffen plays a gunfighter named Reagan here - it's a typical Italian western of the sixties with all the touches that gives a special and cult atmosphere for this genre nowdays. A good fun for nostalgic addicts of western spaghetti but not a great movie.I give this a 6 (six) because I'm a nostalgic guy too.
