Django on DVD (1966)

Preposterous ear-mutilating horse opera

johnny_friendly from London, England , 08/05/2005

Django has the reputation of being the best non-Leone Spaghetti Western though for the life of me, I cannot figure out why. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen! Bad acting, poor pacing, pointless (and badly staged) violence and probably a total of about three different locations in the whole film. I can appreciate a so-bad-that-its-good type film but this is just simply bad. I'd still recommend it though for fans of Quentin Tarantino who'd be interested to see where the infamous ear-slicing scene in Reservoir Dogs came from. And arguably its done far better here.

Dubbed.......

A customer from Spalding, Lincs. , 10/02/2006

Dubbed & diabolical, waste of time, bad in every way, doesn't even deserve a 1 star rating.

Terrifically energetic sub-Leone western. Word is that this is the best of the spaghettis after the dollars trilogy - my money though would be on 'A Bullet for the General' or 'Django Kill...', one of thirty-odd unrelated Django sequels. This has all the ingredients - brutality, greed, misogyny, most of the plot from other movies and the glowering mascara and dayglow tan of the hero. It has its moments of set-piece violence but doesn't reach the heights of the best of the genre.

Next to Sergio Leone, this is the dog's Django's!

ThunderkickBill from London , 13/04/2005

What can be said about Sergio Corbucci's Django - a hell of a lot! Next to Leone's Dollars trilogy this is probably the most influential spaghetti Western of all time, and by far the most imitated, spawning at least twenty or so unofficial sequels varying greatly in quality. It also inspired one Mr. Quentin Tarantino quite a bit, lifting the scene in which the local snitch has his ear sliced off and fed to him for his own debut.

Indeed, Django is a dark, violent film, but the depth and variation in both the characters and the action, not to mention Franco Neros starmaking turn as the ultimate mysterious stranger, is what really makes this film worthwhile, as Django drags his coffin into town and raises hell between warring bandits and an evil, fascistic private army run by the renegade Major Jackson.

You ain't a fan of spaghetti westerns until you've seen this, and loved it!
