THE DJANGO STORY is a low budget but action-packed little spaghetti western offering that's a lot of fun for seasoned viewers of the genre. Hunt Powers plays a crippled man in black, Django in some prints, who has a hit list in his wallet (very much like Arya in GAME OF THRONES) and is gradually working his way through said names on a mission of vengeance. There's not much more depth to the story than that, but this film boasts strong, isolated desert locations and a wealth of violent and ruthless shoot-outs. Director Demofilo Fidani is keen to imitate the great Sergio Leone and stages one showdown in a quarry in EXACTLY the same manner as that of the famous climactic scene in THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY. Genre regular Gordon Mitchell has a small role and makes the best of it, and overall this is light and fun.

Fun and funny and cheesy but not for everyone

I must say i really liked this flick although its About 85% reused footage its honestly one of my favourite westerns although technically its a really bad film but its entertaining and interesting and the Low budget gives it a charm that is just unique. The action is pretty much nonstop while alot of it is Laughably funny (or bad technically) some of it is sort of impressive and the music is actually pretty good but the main theme is pretty bad and the singer Sounds...like he shouldnt have been a singer. The ending i will not spoil but it incredibly cheesy and unexpected and sort of Epic in a way a cheesy way. Yes this film is mostly reused footage but it used in a sort of creative way and i dont understand some of the negative reviews that ive read. I liked this flick and im not ashamed to say that but should i be? No its ok to like stuff Thats what i have to say.
