DJANGO'S SPUR is an unmemorable spaghetti western that suffers from a low budget and cliched storyline. The hero is a man who returns home from the war to discover that his sister has been raped and murdered by an outlaw gang, so of course he goes on an odyssey of revenge in order to make things right. The film wastes a perfectly serviceable performance from former strongman Richard Harrison, whose heroic character is as bland as they come. There's some driven action in the first half of the production, but then the scene shifts to the saloon and it all gets very slow and long-winded. Anita Ekberg appears and is almost unrecognisable given her star wattage a decade previously. Some of the action footage was later borrowed for another cheapie, SEVEN DEVILS ON HORSEBACK.
