danhainfit Django has gone soft, buried his machine gun, and is now a monk. When a woman tells him his daughter has been kidnapped and forced into slavery, Django decides he has to right this wrong.DSA feels very much like an Italian exploitation film to me. There is such a heavy use of fog, I wouldn't have been surprised if one of the corpses got up and started eating the flesh of the living (ie Fulci). Django kills three men very slasher like when he decapitates them in a single swoop from a scythe that he gets from a grim reaper statue. And lastly, the way the other slaves are portrayed remind me of cannibals, they rip apart at least one man.The excellent Django theme song is no where to be found, but the groovy score that is present certainly delivers when Django is causing death and destruction.Minus the film's prologue, DSA feels nothing like a western to me. I've read other people praising DSA's prologue, but it came off real corny to me. I do agree DSA feels more like a Rambo riff, which is funny to me because at one point film makers were copying Django and now, Django is copying another film.DSA is a bit slow and incoherent for me. The Anchor Bay disc I watched didn't have English captions even when I had the film's Italian audio track on, so I had a bit of a tough time understanding the dialogue.It may not be as memorable as the original Django, but it's a blast to see Franco Nero once again wielding his machine gun and take no prisoners!

Claudio Carvalho A woman comes to a monastery and tells Django (Franco Nero), who became a monk many years ago, that he has a daughter in San Vicente that was kidnapped by the evil and cruel 'El Diablo' Orlowsky (Christopher Connelly), a former Hungarian soldier that uses his battleship to abduct men and boys to work as slaves in his silver mines and girls to be sold to brothels. Django follows his ship, but is captured and sent to labor work. He escapes with the support of the etymologist Professor Gunn (Donald Pleasance) and promises to return to rescues all the slaves. He goes to a cemetery where he digs his machine gun, preserved in a coffin buried under a tomb with the name "Django". He brings hell to Earth chasing Orlowsky and his gang."Django 2: Il Grande Ritorno" is the sequel of 1966 "Django" and is underrated in IMDb. The violent story is great and has some of excellent sequences, such as when Django is in the cemetery digging his machine gun; or when he schedules the undertaker to a future work; or riding the funeral stagecoach with the machine gun on the back. Christopher Connelly, in his last work, makes an excellent villain. Western is not my favorite genre, but I liked this movie a lot. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Django - A Volta do Vingador" ("Django – The Returno of the Avenger")

Witchfinder General 666 The only official (but certainly not the best) and up to now the latest sequel to Sergio Corbucci's 1966 masterpiece Django, "Django 2: Il Grande Ritorno" aka. Django Strikes Again, is definitely not worthy of the original, but it is still an entertaining Action/Spaghetti Western genre mix. Django, who calls himself "Brother Ignatius" now, has turned his back to violence and become a monk, living in a Mexican monastery, when a fatally ill former mistress tells him that he has a daughter and asks him to take care of the child after she's gone. The lady dies a short time later, and the daughter, along with other villagers, has been kidnapped by a ruthless gang of former Hungarian soldiers under the leadership of villainous Orlowski, a man who brutally enslaves Mexican civilians to drudge in a silver mine and forces women and little girls into prostitution, and is therefore referred to as "El Diablo" by the poor population. In order to rescue his daughter, "Brother Ignatius" has to return to his violent former ways and become "Django" again.The story is not very imaginative, and the locations are a little bit too tropical for a Western, even though the movie is set entirely in Mexico, but Franco Nero's performance makes up for the movie's weaknesses. Made in 1987, 21 years after the original, "Django Strikes Again" is a mixture of a Spaghetti Western and a typical eighties action movie. It is certainly fun to watch, but it's certainly not a masterpiece like the original. Django Strikes Again may be the only official sequel, but it's certainly not the best. I've seen "Django" sequels much better than this, but I've also seen much worse. 6 out of 10 stars because of Franco Nero, the one and only original Django, who saves the movie.

Marc Ferriere This film is very interesting. Many people will scoff at it's production values, but when you consider it's era, it's really not that far off from its contemporaries. Many people make the mistake of comparing this movie to the Rambo franchise.I suppose this is based on the way the Italians chose to market the film (with Nero with a headband and giant veiny muscles). But the more appropriate comparison should be with Arnold Schwartzenegger's "Commando". In both films, a burly guy trying to forget his violent past has his daughter kidnapped and is forced to kill hundreds of ethnic stereotyped Hispanic folks to get her back. It's even got exploding guard towers and guys getting stabbed in Arnie "stick around!" style!!!
