Oh, lol. I barely made it to the end on this one. The funniest part for me was Steffen firing his pistol rapidly over and over again. One scene has him shooting straight ahead, yet a bunch of guys fall out of the trees.
[quote=“scherpschutter, post:260, topic:176”]It’s my favorite movie too, and the favorite movie of some other people here on the forum, so what the hell do you mean :
I guess nobody will agree, but it’s one of a few movies I can watch over and over again[/quote]
Sorry. I didn’t make it through all the pages, or many of the threads here yet. I only just read the negative notices against it in this thread. ;D

I find that giving some of these films secind chances, you can really like em’. I do this regularly and ave learned to like some but some others were as bad as they were when I first saw them.
True. But I try again with even ones I hate. I really was disapointed with Town Called Hell but once I get a hold ogf an uncut widescreen disc then I’m going to try it again. The first time I saw it. Half the screen was gone basically. It must have great widescreen in widescreen discs cause I couldn’t even see what was going on sometimes. Django Kill didn’t get better with a retry butI didn’t hate it either. Matalo! got SOOOO much better the second time as did Beyond the Law.[quote=“Angel Face, post:268, topic:176”]Yeah, opinions can change down the road, although there’s some I’m sure won’t change. :D[/quote]
Oh, yeah, DJANGO, KILL! Forgot about that one. Another ‘worst’ entry for me. I’ve seen it three times now and no more. I don’t get it, nor see its appeal outside of some shocking gore scenes. I’d give it *1/2. The one star would strictly be for the hilarious talking parrot.
I would love to know what it is people see in this movie aside from gay cowboys and a town full of lunatics. The whole movie had a quirkiness about it, but to me, it was all sort of slapped together without much rhyme or reason. I found nothing between the few shocking moments to be of much interest. That was another dvd I regretted buying.
I’d think they like the surreality, darkness, excess, and overall weirdness as well as Questi’s prtrayal of war torn Italy and his war experiences. But he ruins the main scenes with that catchy upbeat theme music which unforunatly lightens the mood considerably. Ruio\ning the scene completely.
That’s exactly what I like about it Korano. It is unique and, for all it’s faults, never boring.
However, I disagree with you about the music. I love the score on this film.
Django Kill is the only anti-SW, made against the conditions of the genre. Critics called it then the only political italian westerns which could be taken serious.
Its dark strangeness is quite fascinating.

Doesn’t the director say on the interview on the Blue Underground disc that he didn’t like the genre?
Probably.
This is of course a western by a director who didn’t liked westerns. That 's also why this film does not feel like a western, but is one nonetheless.
Questi also said that a western was the only film one could make in Italy then, and that Rome was the Saigon of the international cinema then (whatever this could mean).
