Bravo Django

Although this one is not a real Django entry - Steffen plays a gunfighter named Reagan here - it's a typical Italian western of the sixties with all the touches that gives a special and cult atmosphere for this genre nowdays. A good fun for nostalgic addicts of western spaghetti but not a great movie.

I give this a 6 (six) because I'm a nostalgic guy too.

Sent to Montana to hunt down bank robbers, bounty killer Anthony Steffen takes the star off a replacement sheriff who didn't reach his destination and steps right into a range war between farmers and cattlemen that has turned a small town into a tinderbox, with suspected fugitive Frank Wolff trying (not hard enough) to stay on the right side of the law.

One thing this has going for it is the lack of comic relief, which sort of overtook a lot of European westerns in the years following this one's release. Other than that, it's rather ordinary, though always watchable and never boring, with story and execution more resembling a typical Hollywood western than the usual spaghetti offering. Some good action and locations are a plus.

Fans of Anthony Steffen and his hard-edged performances probably won't be disappointed.

Though officially credited to Spanish director Leon Klimovsky, the prolific Enzo G. Castellari claims to be the real director. I tend to believe him, as his style fits the proceedings more so than Klimovsky.

The first Django sequel has very little Django in it. While the main character is mostly called Regan, he is sometimes credited as Regan/Django due to the movie's title, and the fact that the actor plays Django in many sequels. But this film is much worse than the first, because it is very cliche and there's very little interesting about it. Regan/Django lacks the cool yet intense personality he donned in the first film back when he was played by Franco Nero. It's not a terrible film, but it pales in comparison to the original and there just isn't anything memorable about it.

The film takes a standard western plot in a very boring and uninteresting direction. There are hints of entertaining moments, but they are sadly overcome by the overall mediocrity of the movie. Not worth watching unless you are a fan of Django.

A bounty killer (Anthony Steffen aka Antonio De Teffè) gets caught in a cattle war, when he is searching for the last member of a gang of robbers in a small Montana town, where the twin brother (Frank Wolff) of the bandit lives.

This is one of the countless westerns baring The Django handle - and it's an unofficial one. Anthony Steffen is called Regan, and he's at his usual tough guy best. His hard edged performances are great. It's has the usual shootouts with a loaded plot, however it's a run of the mill SW- not bad but not great either. Story and style is more attuned to the typical Hollywood western than the spaghetti westerns.

This Italo-Spanish movie has all the classic ingredients of a good spaghetti.

Just to set the scene, a bandit along with a bounty killer found themselves against powerful ranch owners, but will these two be able to bring a little law and order to Mile city, where violence and villainy are considered to be a virtue.

What an impressive camera work, especially in the opening scene, where you can see the bounty killer on the back of a donkey through the arched hands of the two competitors.

I rented the DVD of this movie from LASER(specialist DVD libraries in Dublin), my main criticism of the movie is that the lips are not harmonized with the words, but that shouldn't be a matter of concern as the roses have thorns too.

A good combination of Antonio De Teffe and Frank Wolf, both icons of Spaghetti Western.

The score adapted for the movie is pleasant to hear. Note, the song "there will come a morning" by Carlo Savina.

it is movie I would recommend to a friend, and a foe for a change!
