django kills!
Legend has it when Django was in the process of being filmed in Spain on one side of the desert, another film called fistful of dollars was on the other side rolling with the cameras.Two great directors,two huge stars,two classic westerns.Sergio corbucci once said John Ford has John Wayne and I have Franco Nero.of course Sergio Leone had Clint Eastwood.Django first released in '66 was banned in several countries for its extreme violence,which is a joke nowadays considering thats what everybody wants to see,including me,because this is the draw of this spaghetti genre.Django is a top notch western you have to see to believe,Franco Nero not one of my favorite actors,however plays the part well,remastered video excellent,and bonus disk,. a waste of time and effort,strictly promotional for Nero. Django is a must own and a true classic of the genre.

django is awesome!
django is another example of the bizzare fact that the italians can make better westerns than the americans. django is one of the best westerns ive ever seen. while its not nearly as good as the good, the bad and the ugly(a film wich i personally think is flawless)its stil loads of fun. django is a traveling stranger who drags a coffin containing a western style minigun. he ends up in a small town run by a corrupt racist and his band of red masked henchmen. as you may have guessed django ends up battling these baddys and saves the day so to speak. theres also a mexican revolutionary(or something like that)who django helps battle the red hoods and steal a fortune in gold from. while the plot isnt incredibly original, the film is still interesting and you never find yourself confused or bored with the story. the film never really slows down. sure it takes a bit of a break in the middle but its never boring. the film if fueled by some pretty cool action scenes including a large gunfight with the red hoods where django kills nearly all of them with his machine gun. this being a western from the 60's dont expect bullet holes or realistic death acting when someone is shot, but thats okay because this film doesnt have to be realistically violent to entertain. django is a true western masterpeice that should not be missed. it isnt a masterpeice by serious film critic standards(not that there opinion matters, nor mine)but it is certainly a classic film that will have you singing along to its extremely catchy theme song. very, very fun movie, definately dont miss django.

Django is da man!!!
Django is a fantastic film. It's one of the best Spaghetti Westerns out there. The Anchor Bay edition which is out of print is ok as far as the picture goes but the sad thing is the only language track is the dubbed English which is more funny than anything. You need the Blue Underground edition. The picture is fantastic except for a few blemishes. It also has the Italian audio track which to me makes for a far better film. Django is surreal which makes for a good time with the DVD player. Highly recommended.

The Best WESTERN EVER! I MEAN EVER!
Only Italians know how to make a western. This is not some Johnny Wayne crap American movie,this movie is even better then the Good,the Bad, and the Ugly Jew, with Clint Westwood :)) Do not listen to the reviews made by some American film buffs or whatever they call themselves, see this movie for yourself. Anyway only a European could appreciate a movie like Dijango!

Excellent release, important film
Django is one of the greatest of spaghetti westerns and proof that not only Sergio Leone could make them. The film has a very flimsy plot, but if that's what you're after then a spaghetti western isn't what you should be looking for. It does however excel in most other ways, the editing, photography, way over the top style and even the performances are decent. Franco Nero's tough-and-silent-type charisma has rarely been as effective. This may be the least political of Sergio Corbucci's spaghetti westerns and that is in some ways good and some ways bad (ie making it perhaps more accessible to a mainstream audience, but perhaps making it slightly more shallow at the same time).

Blue underground's dvd is excellent. The transfer is great and you rarely see a 1.66 AR film with a proper anamorphic release but this has it down perfectly. It also has the Italian soundtrack, which is a big plus as the dialogue (what little there is of it) is marginally better than the English. Other extras are fine all round. Word of warning though, the extra disc is a mini-dvd and contains a brilliant short with Franco Nero.

Highly recommended for (spaghetti) western fans especially, but also for anyone with an interest in the World Cinema explosion of the 60's and cult films. Beware of the unbelievably many films called Django something-or-other, there's only one...actually, I also recommend the very different and unrelated Django Kill! also available from Blue Underground.
