Sorry, this movie sucks

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

A coffin-dragging gunslinger (Franco Nero) and a half-breed prostitute become embroiled in a bitter feud between a Klan of Southern racists and a band of Mexican Revolutionaries.Intended to capitalize on and rival the success of Sergio Leone's "A Fistful of Dollars", Corbucci's film is, like Leone's, considered to be a loose, unofficial adaptation of Akira Kurosawa's "Yojimbo". Indeed, many people have called this an homage to Leone, which may be only half right.In many ways, this film may have been even more influential than the Leone trilogy. There have since been many, many films that have borrowed the name Django, often with no connection whatsoever to the original film. The Eastwood character, on the other hand, was never blatantly ripped off as frequently.

Django is directed by Sergio Corbucci and it stars Franco Nero, José Bódalo, Loredana Nusciak, Ángel Álvarez and Eduardo Fajardo.Django (Nero), dragging a coffin behind him, saves a woman from some bandits and soon finds himself in the middle of war between two factions - which he may be able to use to his advantage.1966 was a stellar year for Spaghetti Westerns, Leone was putting the crown on his "Dollars" trilogy, Damiani produced a political firecracker and Sollima crafted one of the finest "manhunt" Oaters of this sub-genre. Then there is this, Django, a Pasta Western that is synonymous with the form.I fought for the North!Django is a treat, it's violent and cruel, funny and cheeky, and pleasing on the eyes and ears - so pretty much it contains all the best things that made the original wave of Spaghetti's so palatable. Undeniably it owes a "lot" to A Fistful of Dollars and Yojimbo, but it's still its own beast, a baroque Gothic piece of work that positively revels in nihilism. The graphic violence is wonderfully cartoonish, the iconography unbound, and in Nero - eyes likes chips of ice - the pic has one of the coolest and baddest men on the planet. Nusciak brings the sex and sizzle, coming off like a Spag Raquel Welch, whilst the villains are delightfully vile and scuzzy.The setting is superb, a muddy cold hell of a town with a brothel as the fulcrum of the piece. Naturally there's a cemetery, which will play host to some of that iconography mentioned earlier. Religion gets short shrift, racial prejudice given a caustic once over, while it's worth mentioning there's more than a hint of social realism pulsing away as Corbucci brings the blood and thunder. OK! It's light in plotting, and it's not even Corbucci's best film, but the stylised violence, the visuals and a cracking soundtrack easily take you away from the fodder of the story.It would spawn a multitude of rip-offs, name checks and influence a whole host of film makers, but this is the real deal. A Spag Western worth revisiting to see just when it was a sub-genre of quality, this before hundreds of poor band wagon jumpers began to soil the Spaghetti Western name. 8.5/10

I'm not sure what to think of this spaghetti western. Franco Nero was really good imitating Clint Eastwood. His badassness shined in just about every scene. Problem with the movie is there's essentially no plot and very little action. Much of the beauty comes from the setting, a very bleak, muddy, desolate town in the middle of nowhere. Apparently quite violent for the era, getting banned in England. Funny because by today's standards it's kinda tame. There certainly were flaws including the bad dialogue and then the gang with hoods on? Very odd. Oh, and I pray this is the last time I watch a film dubbed into English. Subtitles I always prefer and they would have been nice here. The dubbing was so terrible. In any case, not the western I am used to (one filmed and taking place in the American west) but still this isn't half bad.--A Kat Pirate Screener

A cowboy dragging a coffin happens to come across three Mexican bandits in the process of whipping an attractive young woman named "Maria" (Loredana Nusciak) for trying to escape. Suddenly, five gringos appear and kill the bandits. They then decide to crucify Maria for prostituting herself with the Mexicans. The cowboy, named "Django" (Franco Nero) then draws his gun and kills all 5 gringos and frees Maria. Grateful for having saved her life, Maria follows Django into a muddy town situated on the American side of the Mexican border. What transpires is a story about a man seeking vengeance in a town surrounded by two armed forces, one a militia of white militants led by "Major Jackson" (Eduardo Fajardo) and the other a group of Mexican revolutionaries led by "General Hugo Rodriguez" (Jose Bodalo). Those who enjoy a story with lots of action without regard to any semblance of realism will probably love it. On the other hand, those who like a story grounded in reality may not care for it too much. Personally, I found myself somewhere in the middle. I enjoyed the action in many of the scenes and the similarity to other spaghetti-westerns like "A Fistful of Dollars". Likewise, the presence of a couple of beautiful actresses like Silvana Bacci (as the Mexican barmaid) and the aforementioned Loredana Nusciak certainly didn't hurt the film either. Even so, I wasn't quite able to fully accept some of the other rather preposterous scenes which had me shaking my head in disbelief. All things said then, I rate it as average.
