I first discovered this movie a while back, after seeing Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained". I loved DU, so when I heard there was more where it came from, I got really exited. After seeing the film, i must say that it was quite enjoyable and worth checking out. Franco Nero gives a great performance as Django, the bad-ass coffin-dragger. It's really different from Jamie Foxx's performance in DU, but that just makes it more interesting. It's nice to see that Tarantino didn't completely remake the original.
The music is also great, and gives the film a great "feel". I wasn't aware that the music in "Django Unchained" was the same as in this one. So it came as a big surprise when the song Django popped up in the intro (which by the way, the intro is awesome and sets the mood perfectly). The music stays great throughout the film, and the songs never feel out of place.
Something I was surprised by, was a particular scene in the movie. I wont spoil it, but I will say that the scene actually kinda shocked me. I can handle violent content, but i was just so surprised that they would allow it in 1966. Thats probably why it was banned in multiple countries.
In conclusion, you should watch this film if you liked "Django Unchained". It's quite interesting seeing how much movies like these have changed, and how different from DU it is. But it's still very entertaining, and it helps that it has a great story. Check it out if you like westerns.
