1865 the American civil war slowly comes to an end. Thus weapon dealer Mallek (Andrea Bosic) sees his hopes dashed. Therefore he hires a gang of cutthroats, in order to bump off two generals of the Yankees and the Southern States, who should prepare peace negotiation. But unfortunately two of the boys had raped and murdered Django's (Craig Hill) sister. In the course of his mandatory revenge campaign Django puts a spoke in Mallek's wheel and finally carries off the whole dough. Together with beautiful Aloma (Lea Massari) he looks forward to a well situated retirement

The Gunslinger says:

Good and quite tough Spaghettiwestern, made by Paolo Bianchini in 1967. A consistent atmosphere, the straight story (script: Carlos Arabier) and a good music score (Nico Fidenco) lift this joint much above average. The singer of the titelsong reminds me of Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane). Even if Django is not primarily interested in the money: Finally he creeps through the dollar bills, whirling in the wind, and snatches up as much as he can put into his saddle bag. I don't know, what's "Django's" name in the italian/english version.

Rating: $$$$

Bodycount: 25 Gringos, 1 Mexican, 2 Women

Explicit brutalities:

- Mallek stubs out a cigar on the hand of his henchman Jack Blunt (José Manuel Martin) because this came too late.

- Jack Blunt and Harry Dunn violate Django's sister and kill her

- The Sheriff and his Deputies beat up Django brutally, because he shot the Sheriff's brother in self-defence

- Django kills the mute Maurie, who guards Malleks farm, with a stone, although the poor devil is already unconscious

- Mallek's boys treat young women with the whip to make them amenable

- Jack Blunt and his men give Django the stick: Djangos face comes in close contact with a lively flickering chimney fire and a gun butt. Subsequently the bandits bind Django on a chair and ignite the hut.

- Django lets play Jack Blunt a game of Russian roulette

- Blunt's men run over the wounded Mallek maliciously with a stagecoach

Luv:

Django does not only love his sister. He's also interested in Aloma, although she has to crawl on her knees, until Django takes her along: 2/10

Splatter: 3/10
