Django, Prepare a Coffin (1968)

One of the best classic, Django movies

[6/10 · 10 July 2015]

This spaghetti western written by Franco Rosetti who worked on Sergio Corbucci's original Django, is what you can expect from one of the many Django movies from that era. This classic is a favorite of Tarrantino who contributed to The Django movies himself with Unchained. I found this film wildly entertaining, yet absurdly cheesy. The ending scene for example, the crowds of people ready to kill him and he just pulls the gun out of his coffin and shoots them all in the space of around 9 seconds. I think, personally, this is a film which reminds me why I love spaghetti westerns but also what most of the spaghetti westerns actually were, not all cinematic masterpieces like the works of Sergio Leone, but cheaply made, quite surreal and unrealistic, yet absolutely fantastic and entertaining to watch. Yet, this isn't a perfect movie, far from it.
