Django Shoots First / Django spara per primo (Alberto De Martino, 1966)

Saw an old movie yesterday with a heavy red tint… This looks okay enough :slight_smile:

I’ve got the Australian version of this blu, image is also good, maybe less saturated, but not much difference.

German disc looks less green, they probably made some color corrections (I did point it out to them)… looks quite fantastic all in all

Not a bad film. Obvious Django became a bit hit whilst this was in production and before they did the post production dubbing. I do get my Evelyn Stewart’s and my Erika Blancs mixed up as they look quite similar - I thought it was Erika playing the bad girl but it appears to have been Evelyn.

The inherited fortune theme reminds me of Death Walks In Laredo which I nowadays only rate 5/10. Django Shoots First also suffers from too lighthearted moments, especially a silly barroom brawl. The joke in the end was fun though. I don’t give much for the sidekick played by Sancho with his annoying English dub and the antihero was weak, but Ida Galli OK . 4 or 5/10 is my verdict, i.e probably not a SW I will watch again within reasonable time…

I watched the German Blu-ray (thanks @ElDavido for helping to import it) and it looks fantastic! As for the film itself, I remember really enjoying it when I watched the Dorado DVD. This time around I didn’t think it was as good as I remember, although I still found it quite fun. I can’t pinpoint which scenes were removed from the Dorado release. The German Blu contains the full-length English dub.

The Blu-ray: 5/5
The film: 3/5

Next rewatch due to the Western All’Arrabiata Blus.

This one also doesn’t change for me, a pretty entertaining Spag due to its enthusiastic directing, which makes the typical SW story shine. Closer to Gemma than to Nero our hero Glenn Saxon is more Ringo than Django, but he does a good job, as did the other actors, especially Ida Galli and Fernando Sancho.
Glad I bought the beautiful Blu Ray box.

Just ordered this tonight from Diabolik thanks to @makesthemovie posting a link a few weeks back. A bit pricey but I like to treat myself once and awhile.
