Low-budgeted and below average Pasta Western contains thrills , shootouts , noisy action and riding pursuits
ma-cortes12 August 2019
This lousy Western contains a silly but well known plot , an abducting , a rescue with the subsequent vendetta and full of violence , shoot'em up and results to be briefly entertaining , though drags at times , balancing ups and downs . Below average Spaghetti Western follows the Sergio Leone/Sergio Corbucci wake and it is proceeded in violent style . Inferior and low-budgeted Spaghetti Western in which an avenger gunfighter pursues a nasty band of outlaws who have carried out a bank heist . As they robbed a bank loot and hid it at a cave where is set most of action . Django's (Jeff Cameron) girlfriend was kidnapped , that's why he must rescue her but that's not very easy . The problem is that the heinous kidnappers are the Cortez brothers along with an androgynous sister (Esmeralda Barros) and their gang . Django chase them with the help from a hunk called Pickwick (Desmond) and a stranger named Fulton (Gengher Gatti) . Fulton is a suspect card player and the American bouncing person is a laughing as well as corpulent man who usually carries a saddle over his shoulders . Later on , there happens a relentless and merciless pursuit with unexpected consequences .

It's a thrilling but dumb western with deplorable performances and a ridiculously written storyline paced in fits and starts ; including a breathtaking confrontation between the protagonist Django/Jeff Cameron against the heartless Cortez brothers . This moving Ravioli Western packs thrills , shootouts , noisy action , riding pursuits , but being an inferior and twilight entry in this prolific Spaghetti genre . Italian production filmed in Laccio , Rome , Italy , being full of assaults , exaggerated characters , gun-down , lots of shots , fights and with some looks that say it all , including ending shotdown at a hacienda that is the best part of the movie . Furthermore , including breif nudism by the beautiful Dominique Badou when she suffers an attempt rape . The film fails really in each aspect , thanks to an extremely tiring , confusing , absurding and boring script . The film contains thrills , stagecoach pursuits , violence , crossfire , high body-count and it's fast moving . Starring Jeff Cameron is very mediocre , though stands out his strong , striking look , featuring as a gunslingerr going after a band of cutthroats . Cameron is so-so as a tough revenger pursuing an ominous group of attackers , as he ravages the screen , he jumps , leaps and bounds , hits and runs ; besides , receiving violent punches , tortures , finally tied and subsequently freed . But all of them looking like the picture was shot at a private mansion , or , at a backyard and worst of all , the almost complete sense of the story .Worthwhile watching only for a demonstration of the confrontation between the two-fisted Jeff Cameron against the dangerous and ambitious killer bandits , but there lacks enough shooting for the entire duration of the movie . Jeff Cameron died in 1985 , he was a Z-actor who played as main or secondary role in various Z- Spaghetti Westerns, credited as Nino Scarciofolo , Blond Mendez , Glen Fortel or Giovanni Scarciofolo, such as : También la carroña tiene un precio (1971), Passa Sartana... è l'ombra della tua morte (1969) and ...e vennero in quattro per uccidere Sartana! (1969) , Giù la testa... hombre , A bounty killer a Trinita , Straniero... fatti il segno della croce! (1968), Stranger Say Your Prayers , Today We Kill Tomorrow We Die , Nevada Kid . Support cast is frankly awful , without the familiar secondary actors who usually show up at these oaters .

There are bad technicians , non-professional assistant direction , crappy editing and poor production design with very cheap construction , simple buildings , creating an atmospheric but inapproppriate ambient across the Italian outdoors , including the unsuitable landscapes , rocks , and mountains . It is very disconcerting in every department, from the aforementioned setting in the background to inadequate lush landscapes . Enjoyable musical score by Vasili Kojucharov as Maestro Vasco in Spaghetti style . This Django's Cut Price Corpses (United Kingdom) or Pour Django les salauds ont un prix (France) , or Auch Djangos Kopf hat seinen Preis (Germany) or La carroña tiene un precio (Spain title) was lousily directed by Luigi Batzella . He often uses psudonyms as Paul Selvin , Paul Hamus , Paolo Solvay , or Ivan Kathansky . He directed all kinds of genres as Nazi-explotation : La bestia in calore , Kaput Lager - Gli ultimi giorni delle SS ; Nunexploitation : Confessioni segrete di un convento di clausura ; Erotic : Prohibito erotico , Nuda per Satana ; Wartime : When the bell tolls ; Thriller : Agguato sul Bosforo; and Spaghetti Western : Paid in Blood , Cuando suona la campana , Quelle sporche anime dannate , Tre franchi di pietà ,La colt era il suo Dio . Rating : 3/10

After successful original ¨Django¨ by Sergio Corbucci with Franco Nero , it was followed by several imitations , rip offs and cheesy copies , such as : ¨Pochi dollar per Django¨ or ¨Alambradas De Violencia¨ (1966) by Leon Klimowsky starred by Anthony Steffen , Gloria Osuna , Frank Wolff ; ¨Django Le ¨(1969) by Sergio Garrone with Anthony Steffen , Paolo Gozlino ; ¨Django, Prepare a Coffin¨(1968) by Ferdinando Baldi with Terence Hill , Horst Frank , George Eastman , Luciano Rossi ; ¨Django defies Sartana¨(1969) by Pasquale Squitieri with George Ardisson and Tony Kendall ; ¨Ein Pressen Fur Django¨ or ¨Barro en Ojos¨(1971) by Edoardo Mulargia with Anthony Steffen ; and the official sequel titled ¨Il Grande Ritorno¨(1987) by Nello Rossati with Franco Nero , Christopher Connolly and Donald Pleasence . In addition ,this ridiculous Django entry Anche per Django le carogne hanno un prezzo 1971 (original title) .

Don't think too hard and just enjoy it.
spider8911917 July 2005
This is really not a bad little western. It may make you scratch your head a little in a couple of parts, but even some of the great spaghetti westerns do that sometimes. The overall story is easy to follow if you just sit back and enjoy it for what it is- mindless escapist fun.

The music is generically suitable for a spaghetti western. The acting is bad, but after a while it just seems like part of the personality of the characters. The main bad guy has a couple of unintentionally funny lines that made me chuckle. There's also an oddball character who laughs at things that aren't funny and likes to bludgeon people with his saddle when he gets into fights.

Being a fan of spaghetti westerns, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. If you aren't a spaghetti western lover, you might not like it so much.

Django's Crap Price Crap Show
Bezenby5 October 2017
Django's Cut Price Western more like! I don't know why Demofilo Fidani gets the label of 'the Italian Ed Wood' when folks like Luigi Batzella were producing crap like this. At one point a stagecoach rides right past a modern car! Every single thing about this film screams 'cheap and half-arsed'. Plus, this is from the director who would give us nazisploitation films Achtung! The Desert Tigers and The Beast In Heat, so if you've watched them (unlikely) you'll know what to expect here.

Django arrives in town just as the most terrible bar fight committed to film is taking place at a local taverna. Some big fellow is throwing people around and while the only other customer is sitting at a table playing cards, Django pitches in and helps the guy. I think most people would have let the bad editing, terrible acting and even worse stunt work help them decide that this film was kack and switch it off, but not me. I'm too dumb for that.

Django is trying to track down the Cortez brothers for reasons known only to himself while the other guy is also trying to track them down to retrieve gold that has been stolen, not ten seconds after this one of the Cortez brothers turns up, only it's obvious to all that the dude is a lady (even though this is revealed later, no clear explanation is made for why this is happening in the first place). More crap happens and… etc…

Pish poor in every department, from the aforementioned car in the background to it all looking like it was filmed in someone's back garden, to the crappy editing to characters seemingly changing position between shots, to the deplorable acting of the captive gringo lady, and worst of all the almost complete lack of gunfights for the entire duration of the film, this is about as bad as spaghetti Westerns get. It's still better than the Beast in Heat though!

Dumb Spaghetti, Brings Shame To The House Of Django
FightingWesterner4 June 2014
Django hunts four bandito brothers who robbed a bank and kidnapped a woman, encountering various low-lives and oddball characters, including a gambler on the bank's payroll, an androgynous woman/teenage boy bandit, and a loud-mouth brute battling the gang over a saddle!

This is one of the loudest, dumbest, lowest-budgeted, and least interesting fake Django pictures I've ever seen, with a plot so slim it would have been better served as an episode of The Cisco Kid rather than an eighty-minute feature. Obnoxious dubbing and a cast of people you'll never see again do their best to keep things uninteresting and viewers groaning.

Action scenes feature lots of gun-smoke and people flying across the screen. At this point though, who cares?

Not recommended.

Below average spaghetti western
Wizard-813 January 2013
If you think the title "Django's Cut Price Corpses" sounds goofy and unprofessional, wait until you see the actual movie for yourself. The movie goes wrong in a number of ways. It's a pretty cheap enterprise for one thing - though supposedly taking place near the U.S./Mexico border, it's pretty clear the movie was inexpensively shot on the green landscape of Italy. There's also at least one shot where you see the shadow of the cameraman! There is also not much action, the little there is being anything but exciting, and the comic touches were desperately unfunny. But the main way the movie soon lost me was the extremely confusing (and boring) storyline. There are too many characters with too many motivations, and it was hard to keep everything straight. Even die hard fans of spaghetti westerns (like me) will find it tough to sit through this.

The director's heart wasn't in this one
Leofwine_draca29 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
DJANGO'S CUT PRICE CORPSES has the advantage of being a genuine DJANGO sequel but that doesn't make it much good. Instead this is one of the cheapest spaghetti westerns that I can remember seeing; it doesn't have that over-bright, sun-scorched feel to it, instead simply filmed in the lush green Italian countryside with various farm buildings visible in the background.

The plot is some hackneyed piece of writing about Django's girlfriend being taken by a gang of bandits which leads him on a rescue mission. He's aided in his progress by two characters who are far more interesting than he is: Fulton, a cadaverous card shark played with sinister relish by Gengher Gatti, and Pickwick, a brawling, larger-than-life character played by the bear-like John Desmont. By comparison, Jeff Cameron is wooden as the protagonist, and his character has no depth at all.

There are some routine shoot-outs that take place in this picture, and a stagecoach chase that feels very slow and stately. Some of the actresses give better performances than their male counterparts. In the end, the general humdrum feel comes down to director Luigi Batzella, whose heart simply doesn't seem to be in it.

Tedious and uninspired spaghetti western
Red-Barracuda18 September 2017
Django hunts down a gang of evil bandits who have abducted his girlfriend.

I have recently ploughed through a lot of routine bog-standard spaghetti westerns and have increasingly discovered that the genre sure had a lot of unremarkable and tedious features on offer. This one is another of dozens that went out under the Django name and it is unfortunately yet another example of the plethora of forgettable Italian westerns. The story-line is deeply uninteresting and the action is, at best, routine. There is not a whole lot memorable about this one at all. Its director is Luigi Batzella, going under the moniker Paolo Solvay, who was best known to me as the director of the later notorious nazisploitation The Beast in Heat (1977) which made the UK video nasty list. As uneven as that grim sleaze-fest was, I would certainly recommend watching it over this thoroughly uninspired western.

Entertaining spaghetti Western romp
Woodyanders21 January 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Rugged fast-on-the-draw bounty hunter Django (smoothly played by Jeff Cameron) hunts down notorious bank-robbing outlaws the Cortez brothers. He's assisted by shrewd card sharp Fulton (an engaging performance by Gengher Gatti) and hale'n'hearty hombre Pickwick (robustly essayed with amiable scruffy charm by John Desmont), who just wants to get his saddle back (and beats people up with said saddle!). Meanwhile, several other folks plot to get their greedy hands on the stolen loot. Director Luigi Batzella, who also co-wrote the straightforward script with Mari De Rosa and Gaetano Dell 'Era, relates the fun story at a snappy pace, stages the shoot-outs and fisticuffs with considerable aplomb, and further spruces things up with a few amusing touches of goofy humor. Cameron and Desmont display a winning chemistry in the leads, Edilio Kim makes for a perfectly hissable villain as ruthless bandito gang leader Ramon, gorgeous brunette knockout Angela Portaluri supplies lots of sizzle as sexy'n'scheming saloon gal Donna Dolores, and the fetching Esmeralda Barros likewise provides extra spark as the spunky Pillar. Giorgio Montagnani's crisp and lively cinematography injects an additional rip-snorting energy. Vasili Kojucharov's twangy score hits the rousing spot. Best of all, there are a few neat surprise twists at the very end. An enjoyable oater.

Luigi Batzella's best western, but...
garko8028 January 2003
This is the first of three Spaghetti Western from the former actor Luigi Batzella. The other two movies are "Quelle sporche anime dannate" and "La colt era il suo dio", also with Jeff Cameron. "Anche per." is a very boring movie with bad actors and a cruel camerawork. It's almost impossible to believe that this is Batzellas best western. He took parts of this movie for the two others. The former stuntman Jeff Cameron often played in the movies of Demofilo Fidani. His best part was in the western of Tonino Cervi "Oggi a me. domani a te!" as a bandit.

A typical Luigi Batzella movie
garko802 August 2002
A very bad Spaghetti Western from Luigi Batzella. The story is boring and the production is terrible. The actors, even Jeff Cameron, are harrowing. The clothes and the dialogues of the characters are cheap and bad and also the buildings are very cheap.

Not the best of 'Django' and the many sequels that followed.
RatedVforVinny19 November 2018
I love all Italian westerns, the good, the bad and especially the ugly ones. With Luigi Batzella, you are always going to get the latter. Actually 'Cut Price', is an apt title because it seems especially devoid of a budget. Instead of bringing anything new to the table is stays with a tried and tested formula. Some of the fight action is straight out of a Bud Spencer movie.
