Just watched this Garko vehicle. A very nice film with an incredible grim and sinister ending. Gian Maria Volonteās brother Claudio Camaso plays the bad guyā¦

Has anybody besides me noticed the similarities between the opening sequences of Romolo Guerrieriās $10,000 Blood Money and Bergmanās The Seventh Seal?
It makes me think Guerrieriās is something of a parody of Bergmanās. They both begin with shots of birds. They both have their āherosā (Django & Antonius Block) awaken with a sigh.
There are horses along the beach, rolling surf, and, of course, Death.
$10,000 Blood Moneyās sequence is played for a dark laugh and works well (it is one of my favorite opening sequences in a Spaghetti).
I did a search on this site and did not see any mention of The Seventh Seal.
Maybe there is word of this elsewhere.
As far as I know you are the first to notice these similarities
When you watch the first minutes of Bergmanās movie, itās hard to imagine that Guerrieri did not pay homage to (or parody) it
Like you say, the opening scene of Diecimila dollari ā¦ is dark and funny
That are probably not the adjectives you first think about talking about Bergman (although he certainly had some sense of humour) but I guess Guerrieri was impressed by Bergmanās visuals, especially his christian symbolism; grown up in catholic Italy, with christian imagery and symbols around nearly every corner, most spaghetti western directors have developed a powerful visual style, with vivid references to christian iconography
It was our own mr. Fielding who noticed the similarities between Gierrieri and Bergman
You can watch the opening scene of Bergmanās film in the previous scene
The next link will lead you to Caravaggio:
Very interesting! I hadnāt caught the resemblance, myself. But, now that it has been mentionedā¦I can totally see it!
Cool!
I also just recently saw it, and itās pretty good. Although I found VolontĆĀ©s english dubbing quite bad. The voice was kind of like a parody of mexican bandits, no authority. But a good western it is, with familiar faces like Fernando Sancho and Loredana Nusciak, and Gianni Garko is cool.
i only watched it in German and Italian, dont know how the english one is.
and it is NOT volonte, itās his brother 
Yes, I know itās Claudio. But Iāve only seen him in movies where heās credited as āClaudio VolontĆĀ©ā before, so I just used that name out of habit. 
His brother does a great dubbing of himself into english in āFor a few Dollars Moreā, by the way. Maybe he shouldāve dubbed Claudio in this one. ;D
That isnāt Volonteās own voice - you can hear āIndioā in many other films also.
Sir Christopher Frayling states in the commentary tracks to both āFistful of Dollarsā and āFor a few Dollars moreā that VolontĆĀ© dināt dub himself in āFistfulā¦ā, but that he was bound by contract to do so in āFor a fewā¦ā. He couldnāt speak english so he had to learn the lines phonetically.
I like his voice which is very creepy and sounds like some horror movie villain. Claudio Camaso is one of my favorite actors of the genre. I donāt know if he dubbed himself but same voice is also used in Vengeance and Vengeance is mine.
I havenĆĀ“t seen this one for ages but I got hold of Franco CleefĆĀ“s version some time ago, IĆĀ“ll think I will pop that disc into the player today. Great music by Nora Orlandi ads to the fun.
you should get hold of the Koch Media Django box, iāve just put the english review online on the main page. give it a read-over
Nice review Seb but Iāll think I stick with my Swedish exrental and my FC-DVD, both are in english and look near perfect.
The biggest problem with this movie (and Per 100,000 dollari ti ammazzo from the same box) is the makeup. They sure wear TO MUCH mascara !! ;D
ā10.000 dollari per un massacroā is one of my favorite SW !!! Garko and Camaso are great in this one ! The music is also great !!!
