Django, Prepare a Coffin
"Wanderer. Gunslinger. Executioner."
A mysterious gunfighter named Django is employed by a local crooked political boss as a hangman to execute innocent locals framed by the boss, who wants their land. What the boss doesn't know is that Django isn't hanging the men at all, just making it look like he is, and using the men he saves from the gallows to build up his own "gang" in order to take revenge on the boss, who, with Django's former best friend, caused the death of his wife years before.
Curator's Take
“Terence Hill plays Django in this unofficial prequel/sequel. He brings more athleticism to the role than Nero. It’s a solid revenge flick that respects the original while adding a bit more energy.”
Why This Movie Is Important
A rare 'semi-official' sequel that bridges the gap between the dark original and the lighter later films. Seeing Terence Hill play the grim Django is a fascinating collision of actor and archetype.
