Synopsis

Though Sergio Leone created the spaghetti western with A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, the genre was not popularized in Europe until Sergio Corbucci's DJANGO, which subsequently spawned countless illegitimate sequels. The film stars the Belgian hunk Franco Nero as Django, a mysterious gunslinger who drags a coffin behind him that contains a Gatling gun. Django soon happens upon a Mexican town where a group of Mexican revolutionaries, led by the nefarious Colonel Jackson, have overrun the town, wantonly killing its citizens. Soon, Django, who has a personal vendetta against Colonel Jackson, finds himself in league with a group of Mexican bandits who want to steal the Colonel's gold with the help of Django and his Gatling gun. Combining a stylish use of spaghetti western conventions -- among them a cruel and cartoonish bad guy as well as dramatic music that punctuates the action -- DJANGO is one of the best and most popular films the genre has ever produced.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic of the genre, 9 Jun 2005
By Mr. E. A. Williamson "edwardwllmsn" (Derby,UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
One of the best and most popular of the non-Leone spaghetti westerns,a fanboy favourite with spaghetti western fans and cult movie enthusiasts the world over and inspiration to such cool,hip directors as Tarrentino.It also started a craze of imitators that spread across Europe,most of them re-titled to cash in on the name of this movie but very few could match its energy and raw power.
A Fist Full of Dollars was obviously a big influence with Django with a similar story line and leading man.In the legendary opening we meet Django,a cool,quiet but sinister figure dragging a coffin through muddy western town.After he rescues a women from a band of Mexicans,gunning all of them down and upsets the local town mayor by doing the same to a bunch of his men he stays in the town brothel and finds himself in a war between the mayor and the Mexican outlaws and very soon they find out just what is in the coffin.
Again like Fist Full of Dollars,Django has its roots in Japanese Samurai cinema such as Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo but compared to the work of Leone is far less polished.Director Sergio Corbucci filmed this rough and dirty with nearly every scene running thick in mud and the voilence as hard as you could go for the mid 60's with a death toll of hundreds and scenes of tourture that got into trouble with the censors on its initial release such as the ear slicing and the smashing of Django's hands.
For a low budget movie this is extremely well made.Corbucci didnt shoot this in scope as other western directors did which gives it a less traditional feel but manages to cram rich cinematography into the tight 1.66:1 framing and gives a fantastic claustrophobic atmosphere.
The cast are superb to with the legendary Franco Nero as Django,the best man with no name next to Clint. This film won him respect and a great many roles including big blockbusters such as Die Hard 2.
Django is available on DVD for the first in the UK,but the disc to go for is US based Blue Undergrounds region O DVD.The transfer has been taken from original vault materals and apart from a tiny amount of damage[which Blue Underground apologise for!]this is flawless.Anamorphicly enhanced at 1.66:1 the detail is amazing and colour is dead on,just check out the close ups of Django's face.Sound is as good as you can expect from a 40year old dub track and for the purists you have option of listening to the original italian mix[with English subs.
Extras consist of interviews with Franco Nero and assistant director who is non-other than Ruggero Deodato who went on to make a name for himself directing Cannibal Holocaust.
To round off the excellent package you get a bonus DVD[which is a very novel mini CD single size]of a short film staring Nero called The Last Pistolero.
Excellent and recommended to any serious film fan or lover of italian cinema.Movie-***** Picture-***** Sound-*** Extras-****

5.0 out of 5 stars classic western, 14 May 2008
Django one the most famous westerns on a par with any of Sergio Leones films. Franco Nero is great as Django there are some great scenes including the the famous scene when a man has his ear cut of and is made to eat it. The violence resulted in this film being banned in the uk for years. Nowadays the violence is quite mild with the film now only a 15 rating.Regardless of the violence the film is excellent and a recomended purchess for spaghetti western lovers and newcomers alike. buy it now!
The uk dvd from Argent films looks quite good it is presented in anamorphic widescreen (1:66.1)the print shows some damage for a couple of minutes but it goes away and the film looks quite nice.The soundtarack is the english dub which isnt very good the italian one would have been prefrable.
The dvd has some good extras including an interview with Franco Nero, an introduction with Alex Cox ,the films trailer and trailers for A Bullet for the General, Django Kill, Keoma and Texas Addios.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXELLENT!, 2 Nov 2006
DJANGO is one of the best spaghetti westerns, equel to any of the Sergio Leone pictures. DJango is all about excess, a throughly apted up, over the top epic! With a catchy theme tune and carismatic star this is worth any body's money.
Django begins with Franco Nero dragging a coffin through a bleak and swamp like outback! Gone is all the John Wayne mythology, were cowboys are the galant kneights of the frontier, here life is cheap; and if your not careful SHORT!

Incredibly influential spaghetti/piella western. A very good film, not quite up there with Leones trilogy, but well worth a watch.
