I couldnāt get through this the first time, maybe because it was an " unofficial" Django film. Nonetheless, I watched it last night. First off Gianni Garko plays the lead role like a champ. He was my favorite thing about the film. Second the score is really catchy, the villain ( Manuel) was a total evil, dirtbag. A womanizer, and gambler, who has to be one of the most memorable villains Iāve seen on screen in a while.
Second viewing for me was excellent! I must have been tired or something the first time I saw this. This has to be my favorite Gianni Garko film.
I felt the same, itās now my second favourite of his after Vengeance is Mine, in fact theyāre the only two I like. Iām one of those who hates the Sartana movies and They Call him Cemetery, and A Taste of Vengeance and $1000 on the Black were so-so for me, but I do like him as an actor he gave good performances in the latter two.
So I finally experienced the English dub of this film.
It was pretty good, but I definitely prefer the Italian version, since it has better dialogue and Manuelās voice can actually be taken seriously.
I wouldnāt mind seeing the Italian version ( if it has english subtitles) but my English version is rather good, and upon my second viewing it entered my top twenty.
The Koch Django Box is a must own! 
P.S this was my third viewing and It just gets better and better.

Iām gonna go off on a limb here and say itās probably ripped from another dvd release and compressed to half itās original size.
If you canāt get the fan dub of the Koch disc, get the best of spaghetti westerns box set. I personally prefer the English dub.
Good dub but itās a shame about Claudio sounding like Speedy Gonzales.
I actually like the voice! Itās the same voice actor who dubbed him in Vengeance. It works for me. I prefer the dialogue changes in the English version, as well. I agree the film improves each time you watch it. I wasnāt that keen at first. I thought it was just acceptable but now I donāt think itāll leave my top seven. Without a doubt, one of the best spaghetti westerns ever made!
I wish Koch would re-release this on Blu-ray with the English dub. Same with Vengeance is Mine. Somebody needs to encourage them!

Guerrieri was a talented director and quite underrated as well, I really like his crime movie Young, Armed and Dangerous (or violent and dangerous?? Im not sure anymore), that falls into the more original entries. What a shame he did just two proper westerns. Johnny Yuma is among my top 10 and again it is quite original piece of work with a cool backstory. 10000 Dolllarsā¦is not exception in this manner.
It is the other solid western and pretty good one. I dont think Ive seen a spaghetti western with an abducted girl who suffers from Stockholm syndrome, good guy doing job with a bad guy and desperately falling in love with a girl for who he wants to give up on his lifestyle.
I just think Guerrieri went this time too far away from the roots of the genre and buried the story under too much romance. Yup, it is a spaghetti western as much as it is romance with over-dramatic scenes. Monumental cheesy score only adds to this feeling. It surely sounds good but it drags the piece into a different genre even more.
This one is also dead serious, no place for fun. One more thing. Calling the protagonist Django undermines the moviesā accomplishments and originality. There was no need for that since it stands solid enough on its own feet. 3/5
I love this movieā¦ So much interesting stuff going on. I wouldnāt say that it is too romantic, the romance between Garko and Loredana is a vehicle to uplift and charge the consequences of the protagonists greed. In the beginning you might think youāre in for the routine cat and mouse play but as the plot unfolds we need to question the morality of the protagonists actions, until Camaso lays it out for usā¦ āWe are both like merchants, dealing in bloodā - Django doesnāt argue with thatā¦

Back: @lordradish 's review from A Fistful of Pasta

That is far more critical than my short review. Where is Aldo? 
Here 
I wonāt bother reading this review, as I like the film ā¦ āWarts nā allā, as they say.
Harsh reviews donāt annoy me, as such ā¦ but when the reviewer seems to slam multiple films in a row ā¦ then I wonder, why suffer ? perhaps another area of cinema might make them a happier viewer.

Like all the guys who made this site. They āslamā nearly every sw except few exceptions. Read some reviews and youāll see. It is called critique and you still donāt seem to understand what it means. Maybe try to google the term for a better understanding.
Ok I will. Thanks.

Might I suggest you google, condescending and patronising !?
