 EASILY ONE OF THE BEST WESTERNS! November 24, 2000
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I am not too fond of westerns. I only enjoyed the westerns of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer until I saw Sergio Corbucci's "DJANGO". He is a mysterious stranger who enters the town dragging a coffin and riding no horse. He's the guy everyone loves to hate, seeing that he's quick with his gun. This movie is very gory & violent, so watch it if you can stomach it. It's no wonder why it was banned in many countires! Strongly recomended, I rank "DJANGO" one of the best westerns along with "MY NAME IS NOBODY", "ACE HIGH" and "THEY CALL ME TRINITY".

This is a classic spaghetti western and an unforgettable film. Filmed on a low budget in the Spanish winter of 65/66, it shows an inventiveness and exuberance that takes the whole genre forward by the scruff of the neck. Hauntingly atmospheric, brilliantly designed and full of almost non-stop action, it repays endless viewings. A particular bonus with this release is the option of a subtitled Italian-language track, which means (a) that you don't have to listen to the awful English version and (b)you get a taste of the original script, which sometimes differs markedly from the dubbed version. The extras include enlightening interviews with Franco Nero and Ruggero Deodato, and a bonus 10-minute monochrome short (stylised and wordless) featuring Nero as an ageing gunslinger, which is worth a look. The main disappointment is the poor quality of some scenes due to the DVD being sourced from a damaged negative. According to the sleeve, this had been found in an Italian vault, "untouched for three decades" - but the British Film Institute was able to source a pristine version for the UK cinema and video release in 1991. Apart from that, full marks for presentation. If you want a lesson in how to make an action masterpiece on a shoestring budget then this is the film for you.
 Solid , well worth discovering , though not as good as Leone October 2, 2005

The partnership of Franco Nero and Sergio Corbucci is not quite up there with that of Clint Eastwood and Sergio Leone , but it aspires to that . I expected something different but still worthwhile and the film did not disappoint me .
The film is darker and stays true to the nature of Django's world . In a different film , we may have found out more about him , but that is not important to the story .
The picture quality is mostly good , but some parts of the image are damaged and this is made clear upfront in a little message before the film begins .
Any Western fan should enjoy this , but keep in mind it is coming from a different perspective .
It's "El Mercenario" with a little more naive charm! June 27, 2001

Even though I gave this movie four stars (for originality and for its contribution to the genre),with a bigger budget(a Leone/Morricone kind of treatment),better dialogue (the dub-job was,quite frankly,abyssmal)and some fine tuning on the plot,this movie could have been the greatest western of all time.The opening scene where this mysterious stranger (Django)is dragging this coffin through the mud and its contrast against the sentimental crooning of the opening music is,possibly,one of the weirdest visuals I've ever seen in a movie,let alone a western.There are a couple of stomach turningly violent scenes that I did not care for and the body count is probably comparable to "the matrix"....I dont know what all to say...This is one weird,gloomy,gothic,machine gun,spaghetti western.The addition of the trailer and the Franco Nero interview were nice bonuses.

AWESOME!! Yes, the sound track is bla and it is obviously a low budget movie - but inspite of that it is one of the best westerns I ever saw. The violence might have been hard in the 60's, but everybody who can cope watching the Sopranos will have no problems with this film. After we viewed this film, my husband's first comment was:" When do you get another Django movie?". Great entertainment!
