Summary: Corbucci's best film!
Review: Don't listen to any claims made made for Bullet For A General, Django is without a doubt the best non-Leone spaghetti Western of all time. The opening scene (blue-clad Nero carrying a saddle over his shoulder and dragging a coffin through the gooiest mud in film history)is beautiful. Corbucci's direction is more controlled here than anywhere else--less zooms, less jarring close-ups, and neater editing. And Django has to be one of the first action heroes to fire a heavy machine gun from the hip (without even pulling the trigger, no less!).But make no mistake. This is Italian exploitation--love it or hate it. An ear is cut off, prostitutes fight in the mud, and our hero's hands are crushed in gory detail that would make One-Eyed Jacks mumble in disgust. Don't expect John Ford here. But if you're looking for something different, are curious about spaghetti Westerns but afraid to buy any because so many are horrible--then this is the movie for you!

Summary: It's "El Mercenario" with a little more naive charm!
Review: 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.

Summary: EASILY ONE OF THE BEST WESTERNS!
Review: 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".

Summary: Django is djust dreadful
Review: I head a lot of good things about this -- comparisons to Leone's films and that it was so popular it spawned a horde of sequals. I had contemplated buying the Anchor Bay DVD, and upon viewing, I'm so glad I didn't. Franco Nero is absolutely dreadful -- i'm not sure if he or the dubbing is to blame but the delivery and dialogue are some of the worst I've ever witnessed. The character is such a goody goody with lines like, "You shouldn't treat women like that" and "That's not right." To compare this to Leone is to reduce Leone's interesting characters and cinematography into cardboard gunfights. I didn't even finish the film.

Summary: It's Not Delivery...........It's Django
Review: I think most people who don't care much for this movie had been spoiled by Leone before watching it. I mean, Leone really set the bar high for westerns and I don't think anyone has done it as good since. He pretty much reinvented the western and set the rules. Italian directors who followed in his wake were directors who usually did other kinds of films, but started doing westerns coz they were big bucks at the box office. Django was the first of the non-Leone spaghetti westerns, and it's a great movie. Sure, the budget shows and the acting isn't always the best, but I'm able to look past that. The look of the film is unique-Instead of the blazing hot deserts, most of this film is cloudy and muddy(I know it was shot in winter and I think it takes place in winter as well), giving it it's own look. Franco Nero is no Eastwood or Bronson, but he has the right stuff for the part and pulls it off nicely. Very violent for 1966, but we've become so desensitized over the years that it won't have you gasping in shock. It's still brutal enough though. Lots of complaints about the soundtrack again. Well, once again this isn't Leone, therefore the epic music isn't here either. But I don't see how you can hear the theme song and not laugh. You can just see Tom Jones singing this to a crowd of screaming women in Vegas. Once again Blue Underground has given another forgotten film the best possible treatment it can have. They give us an interview with Franco Nero and a very interesting short film with Nero as well. And as always, Blue Underground gives us the original poster as the cover(I love how they do that with these old flicks!). If you have any interest at all in westerns and have seen the Dollars trilogy too many times, you can't go wrong with Django-that is if you lower your expectations a tad.

Summary: Django lives
Review: I'd heard lots about this film over the years but was unable to see it until a few years ago. It has the usual flaws of a spaghetti western (poor dubbing, choppy editting and almost silly lyrics for the title song), which are to be expected,and after having seen so many, are even endearing, but its quirkiness more than makes up for it. (Any film with the main character constantly dragging a coffin behind him in the mud has a certain deviant appeal.) Excepting the Leone westerns (which are so far above the ordinary Italian western that they are literally in a class by themselves), this is one of the best.

Summary: BEST SPAGHETTI WESTERN EVER
Review: Sergio Corbucci's DJANGO is the finest example of a spaghetti western, surpassing even Leone's Fistful of Dollars trilogy. Leone's films (though certainly masterful) have a tendency to be too drawn out, too self-satisfied. They are brilliant, but they lack the raw, kinetic power of DJango. If you want to see a brutal western, the great grandfather of all Tarantino films (Tarantino even used the ear slicing from Django for Resevoir Dogs) check this out. Django is chock-full of startling, eye-grabbing imagry, wild camera works, and wall-to-wall brutality. The main character is an ex-civil war soldier who fought for the North who comes into a little border town dragging a coffin behind him (what an opening! ). It's kind of a remake of Yojimbo (as was fistfull of dollars) with Django getting tangled up with some local baddies. This is a great film. Everything about it is first rate. Be warned, however, it was banned in many countries for its sheer violence, and it is still hard to watch. But if you can stomach it, check out Django! Best spaghetti western ever!

Good going Amazon! Sincerely, Carlos F Guillen.

Summary: Dark Yarn With Dragging Coffins EASTER EGG and tech specs
Review: This DVD came with The Spaghetti Western Collection. I simply didn't relate to the characters as most others seem to have. My enjoyment of the movie was limited by the lack of what I felt was a thoughtful score. Maybe I'm so used to Ennio Morricone's moving scores, as they seem to fit movies like another character. I wasn't impressed with the composition by Luis Enriquez Bacalov, whose music starts the title off. I don't know, maybe I don't care for lyrics. I guess lyrics shouldn't be used if the story is well- told in the movie. This movie is quite dark and opens to some intense beating of a woman. Django is also dragging a coffin through mud towards a bleak- looking town where havoc eventually fills the streets which were emptied by the numerous killings. I would lie to give it 4 stars because the music to me detracts from the movie. And the English dubbing just adds to not help me identify with the characters like I'd enjoy. Other macaroni flicks have gotten me to feel something for the characters, but something was missing here. I couldn't even feel for the woman being tortured (Loredana Nusciak). Yet for a movie like The Good The Bad and The Ugly, I could even identify with Al Mulock's character at the very beginning (the bounty killer whose head fills the screen from a once- empty desert scene). I would give it a very average score and tack on just a smidgen more for the DVD quality presented by Blue Underground, which is consistent with the other nice presentations they have distributed. Tech Specs and Easter Eggs: Region- free NTSC DVD from a 90- minute master print, in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.66:1 (only) and enhanced for 16X9; English mono and Italian mono with optional English subtitles; Django: The One and Only interviews; trailer; movie poster/production stills photos; linear notes; a two- page double- sided pamphlet with more detailed notes. I also found only one Easter Egg (I have found up to 3 in two other DVDs by Blue) which can be accessed by going to the Extras page, higlighting Django - The One and Only and then pressing LEFT on your remote to access a hidden feature.
