Content: Bountyhunter Django (Gianni Garko) doesn’t give a damn on the law, but he’s a man of principles: If a bounty is below 10.000 dollars, he won’t even leave his bed. Os it’s not as that surprising, that he declines the pledge of rich Mendoza, to bring back his daughter Dolores, kidnapped by Mexican bandit Manuel Vasquez (Claudio Camaso): Mendoza only wants to pay 500 bucks additional to the bounty of 2.000 dollars for the head of Manuel. In the saloon Django meets Manuel and stimulates his ambition to increase his fame and his bounty. Manuel is quite successful in doing this, and as Mendoza elevates his offer, the sum breaks Django’s personal sonic barrier and he accepts. After this job he wants to retire and settle down in San Francisco with his girlfriend Marijou (Loredana Nusciak). Further money beckons by cooperating with Manuel, who wants to rob a stagecoach with a big amount of gold aboard. Although Manuel had promised not to kill anybody, he massacres all soldiers and passengers and vanishes with the gold. Furthermore Marijou, who took this stagecoach for San Francisco, is among the dead. Django and his friend Fidelio (Fidel Gonzales) now are anxious to fulfill the contract with Mendoza. But things aren’t those, they seem to be, amigos.
| The Gunslinger says: The directors Romolo Guerrieri, an uncle of Enzo Castellari, and Giovanni Fago obviously share sets and staff for their films. Furthermore in both westerns the main characters are played by Gianni Garko and Claudio Camaso, teamed by Fernando Sancho, who has a much bigger part inhere as in the following Fago western. This film tells his story straight and without bigger surprises. There are same fine minor parts, i.e. the notorious bettor „Seven Dollars“ (Pino Arduccio), who never finds a partner to bet with, but who notes painstaking the results of his “bets”, or the corpulent Rosita (Ermelinda De Felice), who “dances” completely sloshed for Django. Acting efforts are good, to start with Gianni Garko as egocentric and a bit danyish gunslinger with white shawl and the gift of the gab and Claudio Camaso, brother of Gian Maria Volonté, as baddie with a kind of childish mood and too much makeup in his face. The atmosphere is rough and good supported by the orchestral score of Nora Orlandi, which is enriched by trumpets, church bells, voices and above all a musical saw
| Rating: $$$$-
| Bodycount: blindca. 12 Gringos, 16 Mexicanos, 2 Women
| Explicit Brutalities: Old Vasquez (Sancho) lets Django dig in the sand up to his chin, roasting in the glowing sun to get the hideout of the gold out of him. An angry scorpion emphasizes this wish.
| Luv': Marijou is in love with Django, but as he takes over the Manuel-job, she is bloody angry and takes the next stagecoach for San Francisco. Not a good idea. 3/10
