Along with Sergio Leone's Clint Eastwood trilogy, Sergio Corbucci's Django, starring Belgian hunk Franco Nero as the gritty mercenary who drags a coffin behind him, was one of the most influential spaghetti Westerns. After mowing down armies of bad guys with his machine gun (which he brandishes in classic two-fisted tough-guy fashion--from the hip), he stages a daring gold heist from a Mexican military fortress and then plots to double-cross his bandito partners. Corbucci, who cowrote the story, fashions an unrelentingly violent tale of rival gangs squeezing the life out of a muddy, bloody border town, reveling in the sadism of the genre. The film opens with a woman strung up and lashed by a group of lascivious bandits, only to be saved by even more sadistic gunmen who plan to burn her alive, and Django fan Quentin Tarantino borrowed the scene where a vindictive general slices the ear off a corrupt preacher for Reservoir Dogs. While not as stylish as Leone's operatic epics, Django pushed the borders of violence into all-new territory, and the film was banned outright in England and cut in the U.S. It spawned 20 unofficial sequels before Nero returned 20 years later for the only legitimate sequel, Django Strikes Again. In the meantime, Nero followed up this grimy antihero role with a turn as the singing medieval superknight Lancelot in Camelot! --Sean Axmaker

It's amazing to me how much difference a carefully managed hi-def transfer can make to an older film with low budget elements. "Django" on blu-ray features a transfer which appears far superior to the recent "Man With No Name" trilogy blu-ray collection. It is clean, colors are rich, and the image is stable throughout. The sound is also well balanced and clear. If you know the film, the purchase is an easy one. If you have never seen "Django", this is the best the film has ever looked in a home ... Read More

I was expecting a little more style and substance, but overall a great movie.
However, this blu-ray is a must own simply because of the transfer. Grainy, low-budget 1060's perfection.

There is a note before the film begins that the negative was damaged in some sections of the film and that one should try to enjoy it anyway. It seemed to me that throughout most of the movie, there was such an incredibly high level of grain that it caused a very drastic shimmer effect. It was extremely distracting. If this is the best they could do, they really shouldn't have bothered at all. As for the movie itself, I must say I was disappointed in that as well. It was many years ago that I first heard ...

Another American reviewer once accurately referred to Sergio Corbucci's Django as disappointing to an audience accustomed to the better-known works of Sergio Leone.
That said, Django is still an excellent, very original Spaghetti western with several memorable and iconic scenes: Django dragging his coffin, prostitutes fighting each other in the mud, the forced removal of a man's ear (referenced in Resevoir Dogs). Django is not up to par with the Dollars trilogy or Once Upon a Time in the West ... Read More

Crucial for fans of Italian Westerns, not so crucial for the uninitiated.
People who dont like Italian Westerns will probably think this is the most ludicrous, unbelievable thing ever filmed. Italian Western fans will probably regard it as one of the better, most unique films in the genre. It's all about excess; excessive violence, excessive fire power, excessive villainy, excessive machismo, etc.
The direction is good, the acting is passable, the music is great. If youre a fan of ... Read More
