Reviews: Warning: Spoilers "Slick gunslinger Django (Anthony Steffen in a solid and engaging performance) enlists the help of loudmouth thief Carranza (Stelio Candelli in an equally solid and entertaining performance) after his wife is raped and murdered by a band of vicious renegades. Carranza is the only one who can identify the killers. Director Edoardo Mulargia, working from a compact screenplay by Nino Stresa, tells this entertaining story at a brisk pace, stages the many gunfights with unwavering verve, and caps it all off with deft touches of zany humor. Steffen and Candelli have winning chemistry in the leads; They are well supported by Chris Avram as the deadly Jeff, Donato Castellenata as the sympathetic Paco and Riccardo Pizzuti as the nefarious Thompson. Luscious brunette Esmeralda Baldi is a feast for the eyes as the seductive Lola. The surprise ending is a real treat. Marcello Maciocchi's dynamic cinematography injects plenty of extra bracing energy. Piero Umiliani's robust score hits the mark. A nice little film." Written by Woodyanders on IMDb.com. "After his wife is murdered by a gang of cutthroats, Django (Anthony Steffen again) saves one of the gang's former associates from hanging in order to identify the men responsible, who find themselves caught up in an arms deal involving the Mexican Revolution. Although it steals ideas from a half-dozen other spaghetti westerns, this fake Django sequel is fast-paced enough, with adequate production values and enough action to fill its running time. However, the comedy is sometimes too overbearing and not very funny either. Far too often, it kills the tension and robs Steffen's character of his strong character. Speaking of Django, as a seeker of justice and vengeance, he is truly morally questionable here, gunning down many people who are not responsible for his wife's death, including men trying to hang a convicted felon (what a hypocrite!) and Mexican soldiers who just happen to be in the vicinity when he kills one of the men who is! The "surprise" ending is fun, even if you see it coming a mile away." Written by FightingWesterner on IMDb.com. Also known as (AKA): (original title): W Django!
