Very nicely shot but thatâs it. I found it incredibly boring.
The writing is bad and the screenplay is just awful (4 people creditedâŚ). The narrative of the movie doesnât work at all and the score is also unfitting.
2/5
I have the German DVD of this * Django spricht kein Vaterunser

It is actually an English print with English credits and âGatling Gunâ title. English, Italian and German audio. The English audio is incomplete but for those scenes with Italian audio only there are English subtitles. These are for âsuperfluousâ exposition scenes (e.g. the comic dentist pulling a customerâs tooth out when Tanner enters his shop) so I guess the original English language release ran several minutes shorter. There are German and English subtitle options but the English subtitles in the English language print only work when it switches to Italian dialogue. John Ireland dubs his own voice in the English print. Robert Woods I donât know as not sure what his own voice sounds like. Most of the supporting cast are mouthing English so English is a preferred option over Italian.

thanks, added.
By the way, I echo other comments on the film.
More like a James Bond movie than a western. Woods gets shot several times, strung-up, beaten-up, blown up, digs out a bullet from his hand but that doesnât stop him. The scene in which Woods and Galli both have weapons in bed was taken from Thunderball I think. So much plot it was difficult to keep track. Some of the transitions were very clever but in other cases scenes seemed to have no real point - why have a scene in which the villainâs identity is hidden when he has already been revealed? - and the opening was quite confusing as you donât see Woods for the first time until after he has been convicted and jailed. I didnât think the flashback structure worked at all - and it gave the game away that Wallace died and pairing off Woods and Galli came out of nowhere. Interesting undercurrent of racism but bizarrely Irelandâs character was dressed like a Mexican and spoken with a Mexican accent although he was supposed to be part-Indian! Agree that the music was awful and sounded as it it was written for some Eurospy movie.
