Django -- Trailer for Django
Django -- A coffin-dragging gunslinger enters a town caught between two feuding factions, the KKK and a gang of Mexican Bandits, and is caught up in a struggle against them.
Django -- Originally banned in several countries, Sergio Corbucci's
groundbreaking bloodfest, DJANGO, is one of the greatest Spaghetti
Westerns ever made, and without a doubt the most influential -
spawning not only dozens of imitations but a new cinema genre: its
everlasting effect seen today as the avowed inspiration behind
Tarantino’s own DJANGO UNCHAINED tribute.
 
The modern action hero began here, with the legendary Franco Nero
(honoured with a cameo accolade in Tarantino’s variation) starring as
Django: the mysterious lone drifter who, dragging a coffin behind him,
arrives in a bleak, mud-drenched town where he ignites a violent feud
between a group of Mexican bandidos and an army of hooded Ku Klux
Klan-like racist murderers.
	
Presented here, complete and uncut, remastered in HD from the fully
restored negative, pristinely faithful to the original look of
Corbucci’s film, this is the most definitive version of DJANGO.
Unequalled.

Did You Know?

Trivia:
The film spawned hundreds of unofficial sequels. Some were incorrectly titled Django, and were only titled so to cash in on the original. The film was so popular in Germany that almost every Franco Nero western there bears the Django name.See more »

Maj. Jackson:[threatens Django with his weapon] Start praying if you like, I don't mind. It's a smart thing to do when you know that death is coming for you. Oh, haven't you got your burial suit with you? We'll have to leave you to the vultures. So now begin your prayer... I can't hear you!

Django at Gundown, 25 October 2003
Author: Charles Dunn (cbdunn@elvis.com) from Clarksville, IN

This is an awsome Spaghetti Western. This is the original that launched over 70 imitation and non-direct sequels. This film was also the inspiration for Robert Rodriguez's El Mariachi and Desperado. The end shootout in the graveyard is amazing. Also, the feeling of the wind swept mud ridden streets is ever present. I respect anti-heroes of film more than the prefect hero. Django is just as cold if not colder and more relentless than the opponents he takes on and out. The coffin is a great original touch. Also check out THE sequel Django Strikes Again (with Franco Nero) and one of the best Django homage sequels Kill, Django Kill starring Thomas Milian (released by Blue Underground Entertainment). This movie gets two colt winchesters up!!!!
