Curiosity got the better of me and I’ve decided to start a thread about the problem of the real-fake Django(s)/Djangos/Djangoes (?). We know that the only other “true” Django film aside from the original is Nello Rossati’s Django 2: il grande ritorno, but what other films are more than dub-Djangos (as Stanton calls them)? Dub-Djangos are films in which the Django connection exists only in the foreign title of the movie (most likely coming from Germany ) while the real-fakes are the one in which the Django connection arises either because it’s in the original title, one of the character is called Django, one of the character is supposed to be Django or for some other reasons I can’t think of. You’ll excuse me if a similar thread already exists, I did a search, but that hasn’t stopped me from creating an unnecessary thread before.
Here are the films I think fit the bill :
Django spara per primo (1966) by Alberto de Martino
Pochi dollari per Django (1966) by Enzo G. Castellari (credited to Léon Klimovsky)
Il figlio di Django (1967) by Osvaldo Civirani
Little Rita nel west (1967) by Ferdinando Baldi
Non aspettare Django, spara (1967) by Edoardo Mulargia
Preparati la bara! (1968) by Ferdinando Baldi
Django il bastardo (1969) by Sergio Garrone
Uccidi Django… uccidi per primo! (1970) by Sergio Garrone
Django sfida Sartana (1970) by Pasquale Squitieri
Quel maledetto giorno d’inverno… Django e Sartana all’ultimo (1970) by Demofilo Fidani
Arrivano Django e Sartana… è la fine (1970) by Demofilo Fidani
Anche per Django le carogne hanno un prezzo (1971) by Luigi Batzella
W Django! (1971) by Edoardo Mulargia
Sukiyaki Western Django (2007) by Takashi Miike
Django Unchained (2012) by Quentin Tarantino
Do you know any others?
We can also discuss what kind of real-fake Djangos those are. Uccidi Django… uccidi per primo! for example is apparently an original title only.
It depends what parameters we put on the list. For example, it would make no sense to include the German releases of Spaghetti Westerns that turned movies into “Django’s”, because virtually all got that treatment. So how about only the films in Italy that were “dub-Django’s”?
While Germany is the most notorious country for creating as much Djangos as possible others weren’t lazy in that business either.
A good example is Django the Last Killer, the original title is only The Last Killer, in which a character (named Rezza in Italy) is turned to Django who doesn’t resemble Django in looks nor in character. For that film the ever inventive German distributors had created another name and called him Rocco, a name which was used for 2 other SWs (another one with Ghidra, one with Tom Betts) released in Germany within a few months. But even the other one with Ghidra features obviously a character different from The Last Killer. Stupid.
But another one which features a Django in the Italian version is 10000 $ Blood Money.
And even some of the Italian Djangos are probably only Dub-Djangos. In Django Shoots First the protagonist has a real name, and is only very occasionally called Django. Which makes me assume that the Django moniker was here also only added in post-production.

For the SW, I would say the list should include films whose Italian titles include the name Django, even if they weren’t planned as Djangos or don’t feature a character called that, but not “foreign” (aka non-Italian) titles including Django. Unless we make it even more restrictive and the film must include a character called at one point Django in the Italian dub or a character who is supposed to be Django.
[quote=“Stanton, post:3, topic:3132”]But another one which features a Django in the Italian version is 10000 $ Blood Money.
And even some of the Italian Djangos are probably only Dub-Djangos. In Django Shoots First the protagonist has a real name, and is only very occasionally called Django. Which makes me assume that the Django moniker was here also only added in post-production.[/quote]
So the Guerrieri flick could be added to the list, thanks! As for the Italian dub-Djangos, yeah that makes thing more complicated, I’m not sure if they should be included or not, but I guess for the moment I’ll accept them.
[quote=“Bill san Antonio, post:4, topic:3132”]From database:
But there must be even more…[/quote]
Thanks Bill, but I actually did use that list to come up with mine. Most of those are “dub-Djangos” (I think) and didn’t include a character name Django in the Italian version.
Thanks, it’s a bit tricky to know which of those films (that aren’t also on my list) had the name Django in the Italian version, but Giù le mani… Carogna seems like it could be one (it uses scenes from the other two Fidani Djangos). As for the last name, lol, Django Foster? That’s confusing.
Any films with a character that is really meant to be Django has a place on this list, although I do not know which of the ones on there fit that category aside from Preparati la bara!, Little Rita nel west (as parody) and possibly the Fidanis.
Btw, I just found out that apparently there is a Turkish Django! Cango - korkusuz adam (1967) by Remzi Jöntürk. Maybe this one would fit too.

Ah, thank you! I’m assuming the list at the top is the Django’s meant to copy Nero’s character? Anyways, I’ll be sure to check them out!
No, it names the films which used the name Django in Italy. None of them is a real sequel to Corbucci’s film. Except the last one, which tries to be one.
After the failure of the highly awaited Tex in the mid-eighties unfortunately Sergio Corbucci gave up to direct Django’s sequel and the project turned into a sort of adventure film. Preparati la bara! substantially proposes again the same character, but in a different and less interesting context.
But is neither a sequel nor a prequel to Corbucci’s Django. In fact it does not look like Django was really in the original screenplay.
It was supposed to be the last of a 4 western deal Nero had made with the producers, but after he went
to Hollywood Preparati la bara was made with the Nero look-a-like Hill.
Nero’s previous western Massare Time is much more Djangoish (and became of course a Django in good ole Germany), and Hill came across much more Djangoish in all 3 SWs he made with Colizzi (of which the first one became of course a Django in good ole Germany). In Prepare a Coffin Hill often looks to lightweight, not as grim as with Colizzi.
Generally said one will find much more Django in several SWs without the Django moniker.
) while the real-fakes are the one in which the Django connection arises either because it’s in the original title, one of the character is called Django, one of the character is supposed to be Django or for some other reasons I can’t think of. You’ll excuse me if a similar thread already exists, I did a search, but that hasn’t stopped me from creating an unnecessary thread before.
