1987 - DJANGO 2 or DJANGO RIDES AGAIN or DJANGO STRIKES AGAIN

The actual sequel to Corbucci's Django is a mighty big letdown. Django's been in a monastery trying to make up for his gunfighter ways.  But a film about a guy in a monastery would be very boring to watch so after some contrived story line business about his daughter being abducted by bad guys we are off and running with another blood bath.

 
 
Franco Nero is back and so is the machine gun.  Nero shoots about as many people as he did in the first Django but this film completely lacks any of the style of the first film, it's just a mediocre Italian western.


About the only thing of interest is the actor Donald Pleasence showing up in yet another Italian film.  He may be cashing a paycheck but he's always fun to watching playing another quirky character, his specialty.


88 minutes, written by Franco Reggiani, Nello Rossati, Dialogue: Anna Miserocchi.
Anna Miserocchi.
