I agree, I saw Cjamango one week ago for the first time. For me it was also an enjoyable movie. I didnât had the feeling that Cjamango was playing both sides on purpose, like in FOD. Would have been better I think. But nice movie, with good music and some melodramatic scenes. I liked it. 7/10.

No, it was almost exactly the same as Django. He tips off the Mexicans but itâs only for his own gain. He isnât interested in sharing the money.
I agree, and Mulargiaâs Donât Wait DjangoâŠShoot ! released just around 4 months later in Dec 1967 is another example of that, slightly better without that kid stuff, very simple but moody, although instead that drunken fellow is used to much without clear motif.

First time watch. Very enjoyable reading through the comments on here about this one - but I canât believe it took until 2023 for somebody to finally criticise it a little 
.
5/10. A generous 5/10. Should probably be a 4.5/10âŠ
Nicely made film, some nice locations (albeit limited to 2 or 3), nice production value and camera work, an easy to follow story, but it was just a little too slow moving for me - I can usually handle long, drawn out scenes with limited dialogue, but maybe today my own tiredness was kicking in. The entire first 45 minutes could have used a little more pace. Also, just a few too many characters bouncing around. I didnât âget to knowâ either of the gangs and their main stakeholders, which was a shame.
I like Ivan Rassimov, itâs a pity he wasnât a more prominent figure in the genre because I think he was a great lead.
Also, as noted by the user runner, the twist as the end was almost identical to the Tony Anthony film I saw recently and to be honest, it did seem a little strange with how easily Cjamango handled it. And as noted by Wobble, the opening sequence could have done with some backstory.
I think this comes across as though I didnât like it. It wasnât bad. But it wasnât good.

I like Mulargiaâs simple spaghetti-westerns due to their style/feeling, very good music even if the story is not so impressing. I even like the âhorse ridingâ scenes if they have a typical Di Stefano theme

,.. but El Puro with story/script contribution from Robert Woods (according himself and obviously true) is the best in several respects IMO. Allesandroniâs Morricone-like whistling theme is niceâŠ
This could be interpreted as an analogy to my acceptance of an occasional hamburger but a serious restaurant visit for me nearly always means solomillo de ternera/de buey/tornedous (high class filet steak) and sweet sangria when I am in Spain
