A Brilliant Conflict
Siflutter
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Sabah Hensley
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Bounty killer Regan has been employed by a mining company to track down the bandits responsible for the robbery of a large sum of money. He tracks the gang leader Norton to a small town in Montana but gets mistaken for the new sheriff. Regan soon finds that Norton is rallying farmers against cattlemen in a dispute over land and also becomes embroiled in the range war himself.This Hollywood-esque Anthony Steffen vehicle was marketed as a Django spin off, although like the rest of it's kind has nothing to do with Corbucci's character or movie. A satisfying, but at times boring time passer, Some Dollars For Django bears all the hallmarks of an early spaghetti western. It is nothing more than an American mimic(range wars, characters straight out of Rawhide, tough guys doing what is righteous)with no brutality and the absence of immoral overtones. Despite the 85 minute running time the movie did drag quite a bit, although when the action scenes arrive they are pretty awesome. The ranch raids and climatic shootout were fantastic with a handful of fine stunts(running and jumping between rocks and somersaulting out of wagons/over balconies) and a decent body count. It seems to me that some lucky cowboys/outlaws were blessed with super-pistols for relentless firepower as the shooting is constant and not once does anybody need to reload, personally I could listen to the Italian gunshots all day. The dubbing and dialogue were pretty hilarious, at times atrocious and the rousing title song A Deadly Moring was brilliant.An above average pasta saga which was beneficial in the greatest sub genre in the world getting warmed up. 7/10

Sent to Montana to hunt down bank robbers, bounty killer Anthony Steffen takes the star off a replacement sheriff who didn't reach his destination and steps right into a range war between farmers and cattlemen that has turned a small town into a tinderbox, with suspected fugitive Frank Wolff trying (not hard enough) to stay on the right side of the law.One thing this has going for it is the lack of comic relief, which sort of overtook a lot of European westerns in the years following this one's release. Other than that, it's rather ordinary, though always watchable and never boring, with story and execution more resembling a typical Hollywood western than the usual spaghetti offering. Some good action and locations are a plus.Fans of Anthony Steffen and his hard-edged performances probably won't be disappointed.Though officially credited to Spanish director Leon Klimovsky, the prolific Enzo G. Castellari claims to be the real director. I tend to believe him, as his style fits the proceedings more so than Klimovsky.

This Italo-Spanish movie has all the classic ingredients of a good spaghetti.Just to set the scene, a bandit along with a bounty killer found themselves against powerful ranch owners, but will these two be able to bring a little law and order to Mile city, where violence and villainy are considered to be a virtue.What an impressive camera work, especially in the opening scene, where you can see the bounty killer on the back of a donkey through the arched hands of the two competitors.I rented the DVD of this movie from LASER(specialist DVD libraries in Dublin), my main criticism of the movie is that the lips are not harmonized with the words, but that shouldn't be a matter of concern as the roses have thorns too.A good combination of Antonio De Teffe and Frank Wolf, both icons of Spaghetti Western.The score adapted for the movie is pleasant to hear. Note, the song "there will come a morning" by Carlo Savina.it is movie I would recommend to a friend, and a foe for a change!

Although this one is not a real Django entry - Steffen plays a gunfighter named Reagan here - it's a typical Italian western of the sixties with all the touches that gives a special and cult atmosphere for this genre nowdays. A good fun for nostalgic addicts of western spaghetti but not a great movie.I give this a 6 (six) because I'm a nostalgic guy too.
