Worth seeing?


I am a very big fan of Nero, and I loved the original Django film. If i can get hold of this to decent price, is it worth seeing at all? Somesay it's ok, some say it will just make me lose respect for Nero (which I would hate to do). Any help appreciated.

Yes...it's worth seeing...if only to see Django digging up his long buried machine gun in a cemetery...and to see William Berger's cameo as an old time gunfighter in the prologue.
They got the old spaghetti western spirit right in the movie...if not the body.
The music's not that bad..it'll remind you of the old spaghetti westerns.
On the whole it was a good try...didn't totally succeed..but it's not that bad.
There's a fun factor here.

I actually think this would have been great if it had been filmed by a more competent director and in the early 70s.

Agreed. This was trying to be a Rambo style 80s action film and a Spaghetti at the same time, and it just didn't really work.

reply

Yes! The 80s action vibe is there in a weird way for sure, and it just didn’t fit in. It’s like it also wants to be this big epic film but nothing comes across right, if that makes sense. Like I bet it sounded great reading the script, but it just didn’t transfer to the screen well, for whatever reason. It’s an odd but interesting film, though.

I bought it on VHS many years ago and just couldn't get into it.

Not as good as the orginal but does have Donald Pleasance in this.

I got my copy is good and enjoy it and yes I have respect for Nero

I got the two movie set, that's about the ONLY way they could probably get rid the copies of this movie without paying a garbage truck to haul them away.

They should have left well enough alone, this movie is unwatchable. They should show it at sleep clinics, it would put a hummingbird on crack to sleep.

IMO it worth! Is not like the original, which is better, but is an ejoyable film and of course, at least Franco Nero plays the lead instead some random dude in those Django ripoffs.
