Does anyone know if Nero and Hill are friends? Or have ever crossed paths?
Have you seen The Wind’s Anger ?
No, in fact I think I bought Django, Prepare a Coffin originally by mistake thinking it was that film!
Nothing of that sort here. Also, take a look at Boot Hill if you haven’t already done so.

I have a copy ready to go - I saw Hill and Spencer in God Forgives I Don’t recently and he’s great in that.
Still got a Blu-ray of this for sale/trade. PM if interested
I was looking what other scores Reverberi had made for the Spaghetti western as I liked the music of this one.I could not find another movie scored by him (or actually them as it was composed by brothers).
Along the search I found out that Reverberi founded and composed for Rondo Veneziano. A music company I liked very much years ago but was forgotten over the years. Nice to revisit the music again.
I like searching something with such an unexpected outcome

After my maybe 6th watching today in much less than a year I like Viva Django/Django, Prepare a Coffin even more than before with a new rank 13 on my SW Top 50 passing the 4 Lee Van Cleef movies in one leap, but just after Johnny Juma and Kill The Wicked/ God Does Not Pay On Saturday.
My view now is that the “prequel” Viva Django is a little bit more entertaining, more varied and interesting story, with better music and more colourful SW in a figurative way of speaking. I think Horst Frank + George Eastman beat Fajardo in their appearances. But I rate both movies a 7/10.
The final part of the movie, incorrectly presented in a 2,35:1 ratio, can be seen in a Drive-in theater sequence in L’oro del mondo, film with Romina Power, Al Bano and Carlo Giordana also released in early 1968 (end of March).
Curiously the two movies, obviously very different from each other, had similar results (52nd and 53rd) at the Italian box office!

Noticed something about the BluRay (Explosive Media), can someone with the Arrow disc check if it is the same place: before they kill his wife, they are on the wagon and he says the stars are still out and the sun is not gonna rise for a few hours. It is obviously meant to be a night time scene, so it would have a blue light filter, but the color correction done on the restoration must have eliminated the blue, so it looks like a day time scene now. Did anyone else notice this?
In the Italian dub it is said ironically (’‘E’ tardi!’’ ‘‘Oh no signora, ma che dite mai? E’ ancora notte e tra poco sorgerà l’alba…’’ , in all versions I know this is a day time scene.
Hm… as I keep watching, the utter absence of any blue filter scenes is weird however. Plenty of scenes may be night time scenes…
I wish I had an old VHS to compare it. First actual night time scene after 45mins, but that’s a real one filmed not with blue filter
How far into the film is this scene, Seb? I’ll check my Arrow copy
very early one when he talks to his wife… but really, rewatching the whole thing it just seems weird that aside from night scenes that were actually filmed at night, everything takes place during the day, even though if you look at what is happening, some of the stuff should take place at night, e.g. when there are campfires, etc… Also from some screenshots I have seen, I think the Arrow master is different, at least it looks more yellowish. Would love to see a direct screenshot comparison. Too bad I never bought the Arrow disc
This is an ironic line from Django as his wife has just woken up and asked if it’s morning already.
The first obvious night scene is when he cuts down Luciano Rossi from the scaffold and that is shown as night time. No need for blue filter there.

ok, and is that really the only night scene in the entire movie? there are so many moments in the film that smell like at least dusk if not night scenes… just wondering, i am still sceptical
There are a few more night scenes but they all look like night. Black sky etc.
Does any site have screenshots from the explosive media disc yet? I have the Arrow blu and would love to see how the Explosive Media disc compares, always though the Arrow disc had a yellowish pallette that seemed a tad off. I know there are a few screenshots on the review here but they are hard to compare to the Arrow blu. On Capsaholic they have Arrow vs 3L…3L’s color timing looks way more natural to my eyes.
but the 3L is a decades old master that"s closer to a DVD upscale… I know what you mean about the color timing, the Arrow disc has a bit of a brown-yellowish tendency;
Hey Admin, yeah I read some of your posts stating that the Explosive release doesn’t appear to have Arrow’s same color timing(doesn’t look at brown-yellowish). I am going to take your recommendation and heck support what Explosive Media is doing and just pick theirs up!!!
