Synopsis:
"Franco
Nero stars as the lone stranger
who roams the West dragging a coffin filled with chaos towards
a destiny ruled by vengeance. Co-writer/director Sergio
Corbucci (THE
GREAT SILENCE, COMPAÑEROS)
packs his landmark classic with indelible images, unforgettable
performances and some of the most shocking brutality of any
'Spaghetti Western' ever made. This is the still-controversial
epic that defined a genre, launched a phenomenon and inspired
over 50 unofficial sequels. This is the one and only DJANGO!
This definitive edition of DJANGO has been re-mastered
from the original camera negative, recently discovered in
a Rome vault untouched for over three decades. Also included
for the first time is the optional Italian audio track featuring
Franco Nero's own voice. Following
two years of extensive restoration, Blue Underground is now
proud to present the most stunning and complete version of
DJANGO you will ever see."

My oppinion:
Now this is Spaghetti western the way it
should be! The beginning is just classic: Franco
Nero walking through the desert
dragging a coffin behind him. Nero is a perfect Spaghetti
Western "hero", and this being his first in the genre, I can
really understand why he's been a part of so many other spaghetties.
It was considered very brutal and graphic when it was released,
thus it got banned in several countries. Sure, there are loads
of more violent movies out there today, but there are a couple
of gory scenes that were especially fun to watch. There's
lots of nice action and the score is pretty good as well.
There's no doubt the director had been watching Sergio
Leone's westerns when doing this
one, but who cares.. It works! Alongside Leone's classics,
this is one of my favourite Spaghetti westerns. If you're
a fan of the genre, and haven't seen this one yet, you should!
