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
