[quote=āStanton, post:39, topic:162ā]Times have changed, and from my initial 1 star rating Iām now up to a solid 3 star.
W Django is Mulargia last western ,which tells an action packed revenge story of not too much originality, but itās straightly told and dirty enough looking to be enjoyable. The action scenes are all a bit too far stretched out, but generally well enough made, and here and there are lurking a few nice ideas (especially the last shots) amongst the overall solid directing.
The English version ends with a nice dialogue exchange between Django and his final victim: āAdios amigoā and the soon to be dead answers with a fatalistic and accepting āAdios gringoā.
But in the German and Italian version he says before shooting: āSorry that you can only die onceā and the answer is a simple āmerdeā.[/quote]
Just what do you think youāre doing Stanton?
LOL just kidding. Iām going to have to rewatch El Puro after reading your post
I like Steffen films, and would love to get the New Entertainment German DVD with the english dub. I live in the US. I noticed that Xploited doesnāt carry it. Can anyone recommend the best/cheapest place to get this disc?
In Germany, the DVD is out of print.
I think the company NEW Entertainment is bankrupt.
There are a release of some films. I have ordered, for example, the DVD of Reverendo Colt. The DVD will be sold (though there are very long Delivery time, sometimes up to 4 weeks). Likewise, California, Adios Gringo, Un Buco in fronte, Wanted. All DVDs are still for sale.
But the DVD of W Django have only very few stores.
Thatās unfortunate about New Entertainment discs as it looks like they had a lot of interesting Spag (and Kung Fu) titles with english dubs when I saw them listed on HKFlix. Thanks for the info.
Some German here who can help me to buy the New Entertainment dvd from one of the sellers on amazon.de and then send it to me in Sweden?
Of course I will pay the total cost + a little bit extra for the trouble. I use Paypal.

Caution, caution: Not all DVDās (W Django) from the amazon market places are from the company NEW. The low for about 10 ā¬ is a rerelease of the company Maia. Source is the NEW DVD: The picture quality is the same, even uncut. But there is no Italian or English. audio. Only German audio.
For UK based forumites who havenāt got this one I noticed it available at only Ā£3.99 on (of all places) the Sainsburyās website. Have never seen this available through any other regular UK retailer so am surprised to see it here. But there it is. Good price too.
I havenāt seen the dvd but its bad apparentlyā¦
This was from amazon
"The source quality is worse than a second generation copy of a VHS tape. The image is drastically cropped from the original 2:35.1 to 1.70:1. And it is also the cut version missing over 10 minutes of footage. "
If that is the Dagored release (like the page claims it isā¦ it was released in 2005 though and not 2010) then AVOID AT ALL COST. Honestly one of the worst releases out. The correct runtime for the Dagored disc is under 80 minutes.
Iām not sure how to put spoiler tags so Iāll just say this post contains some MAJOR SPOILERS. For those who havenāt seen it, SPOILER ALERT.
I gave it 2 stars. Itās a mediocre western, plain and simple. Entertaining enough, sure, but the character Garcia was ridiculous. Itās like they tried to make him this interesting, dynamic character but ended up just making him look bipolar.
And another thing, what is the deal with the whole āmachine-gun-in-a-coffinā plot twist? It was cool in āDjangoā but it seems like it happens in almost every non-Leone western. Corbucci uses it in pretty much every movie. Itās unbelievable. In the final scene when heās digging the grave and Davidās gang starts to surround hime I was just waiting for Terence Hill to open up the coffin and pull out a machine gun. And sure enough, he busts it out shoots everyone to shit. āDjangoā and āThe Mercenaryā were about the only ones where I actually enjoyed it, now Iām just watching every movie expecting someone to whip a machine gun out of nowhere.
Seriously, thatās a widespread plot twist? I donāt even remember that there was a machine gun in a coffin in The Mercenary or any other Corbucci or non-Leone spaghetti westerns. As for normal machine gun, whatās wrong with that?
No MG coffin in The Mercenary. But in the SW coffins there is mostly something else than corpses. A surprise if we consider that the SW job-wise actually shows more undertakers and pallbearers than cowboys.
I didnāt liked it either when I first watched it some years ago. I gave it even only 1 star in the poll at the top. But I like it much more meanwhile, and honestly donāt know why I thought it was that bad, and it gets a solid 3 now. (Too bad I canāt change my vote)
