Django und Sartana kommen: Directed by Demofilo Fidani, Diego Spataro. With Jack Betts, Franco Borelli, Gordon Mitchell, Simonetta Vitelli. A gang of vicious outlaws lead by the crazed Black Burt Keller abduct Jessica Colby and decide to flee to Mexico. Shrewd bounty hunter Django and saintly roving gunslinger Sartana join forces to rescue the poor lass from the gang’s vile clutches.

“In u0026quot;Quel maledetto giorno du0026#39;inverno… Django e Sartana allu0026#39;ultimo sangueu0026quot;, Hunt Powers (Jack Betts) plays Django. Now, oddly, in this followup film, Powers plays Sartana!! This is really odd, as both films were from Demofilo Fidani (often nicknamed u0026#39;The Ed Wood of Spaghetti Westernsu0026#39;)!! Youu0026#39;d think heu0026#39;d remember or care about who played who! Confusing, huh?! In Italian westerns, the producers played very fast and loose with the name u0026#39;Djangou0026#39; (in Fidaniu0026#39;s, VERY loose). Following the success of the original u0026quot;Djangou0026quot; (with handsome Franco Nero), other Italian filmmakers realized they could name ANYONE Django and the public might be fooled into thinking these other films here sequels–which they werenu0026#39;t! Now, to further confuse things, Tarantino has come out with a new film–u0026quot;Django Unchainedu0026quot;–yet another film that has nothing to do with Django! Confused? I would certainly assume so!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBlack Burt Keller and his gang abduct Jessica Colby after wiping out everyone else at her ranch. Django and Sartana follow these thugs into Mexico to rescue the lady and punish these baddies. Unfortunately, most of this film isnu0026#39;t very interesting. The plot described above isnu0026#39;t enough for the entire film and as a result, the film seems to meander a lot. On top of that, the just just isnu0026#39;t interesting at all and is full of poorly constructed scenes. My favorite bad scene is near the beginning. After the shooting begins on the ranch, ranch hands CONTINUE their work hauling things—just waiting to be shot!! A few do ride away, but one guy is hauling a basket and another a barrel—long after the baddies start shooting everyone. Youu0026#39;d THINK theyu0026#39;d hide or fight back but these knuckleheads keep working until (surprise) they are shot also. Duh.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBy the way, on the DVD that contained this and u0026quot;Django Meets Sartanau0026quot;, there is a u0026#39;7 Goldu0026#39; symbol in the bottom corner throughout the film and itu0026#39;s annoying. Also, an occasional yellow dot appears in the left corner–presumably to hide some other DVD produceru0026#39;s copyright symbol. This, combined with a faded print is one more reason to pass on this sub-par film.”
