(1967) Don't Wait, Django...Shoot!/ Non aspettare Django, spara
DUBBED
SPAGHETTI WESTERN
Produced and written by Vincenzo Musolino and directed by Edoardo Mulargia directing a movie that consists of many subplots that I needed to watch it more than once to make sense about what I was watching. It opens with a guy riding a horse and carriage with a few gun men behind being stopped by Navarro (César Ojinaga) and his deadly gang of marauders. He is then being accused of not receiving the horses for a guy name Don Alvaro (Gino Buzzanca) had paid for, but it was quite obvious he is being accused of this so that Navarro could just find an excuse to gun him and take the money. It is soon revealed later that the guy who was killed at the opening along with some nobody's, his son happens to be Django (Ivan Rassimov) and is seeking retribution, encouraging his sister Mary (Rada Rassimov) and his Uncle Danny (Giovanni Sabbatini) to stay and stick this out. The next scene has the time at night time with Navarro screaming about this son, Chico stealing the money from him and orders his gunmen to kill his son to get the money back. And just when Navarro with some men leaves his compound is coincidentally during the time when Django shows up. And with the remaining gun men Navarro left behind, Django succeeds in shooting and killing all six of them all at the same time. The movie then changes to the daytime again with Navarro standing over the dead body of his son, and his men holding some of the villagers at gun point demanding the identity of the culprit that killed his son. And it was at this point is when Navarro begins shooting the men at the back, and it was also during at that time is when Django finally shows up and begin killing some of Navarro's gun men. Leaving Navarro with 4 or five men confronting Django for a final standoff. And of course, Django succeeds in killing all of them including Navarro being the last person to die. You know at the opening, my initial thought was that Django was seeking retribution for his dad's death, but then it changes it's focus on to the money that was stolen from him before he was murdered, we find out it was 10,000 in gold, Django was attempting to retrieve with the help of a another new character, Juan Jose Vasquuez (Pedro Sanchez) or Barrica for short helping him to achieve this feat. And during this transition, Don Alvaro's right hand man, Johnny and Alvaro's gunmen are now looking for Django. We also find out that another gunman named Grey/ Gray (Celso Faria) killed his partner in cold blood so that he can keep all the money to himself. He happens to be the culprit who shot and killed Navarro's son, Chico to steal the money, who lives with a brothel, Judy. By the time Don Alvaro's four gunmen show up at the village, they end up shooting and killing some nobody's before turning their attention toward Django. Both and he and Barriga (Juan Jose Vasquez) manage to shoot and kill all four of them, and when Don Alvaro hears about this, he then sends for a much deadlier gunman named Pondo (Bill Jackson). And the first thing he does when he shows up under the direction of Don Alvaro is he rides out to the property where Django's sister and uncle reside at. He first kills uncle Danny in cold blood after he catches him to reach for his rifle, and kidnaps Django's sister, Mary. At the same time, all of this is happening while Django is still at the village attempting to retrieve his father's money, suddenly Don Alvaro now believes is still owed to him. Because Grey knows how good Django is with a gun, he then gets his girlfriend involve by letting her carry the money the next time the stagecoach stops by at the village. But when she attempts to sneak the bagful of money into the stagecoach, is when Barriga grabs the money from her hands, and scaring the stagecoach to ride off. And once Django retrieves his bag back, it is then interrupted by one of Don Alvaro's men to bring the bag to him he can have his sister back. While waiting around, Pondo/ Hondo then decides to shoot and kill Don Alvaro as well as the remaining men he had left. First taking all the money in Don's possession before Django shows up confronting Pondo and his four men. And just when you think that the bad guy Pondo had the upper hand by taking both the gun and the bagful of money, it is during then Barriga shows up with a horse carriage throwing Django an extra gun. He uses it, of course, killing all of the men with Pondo being the last one to be killed. We wondered how Barriga was able to survive point blank shots from Pondo's gun after ducking inside Don Almaro's house. And it was because Barriga was wearing a steal armor that is similar to a knight. Django gets to reunite with his only living relative, Nancy as well as the money and more. The end!!
This is one of the worse Spaghetti Western movies I've seen, the reason why producers should never engage into writing his own screenplay, this producer very well may have also directed his own movie. Because you can tell, that many scenes and sequences were compromised if actors were uncredited for their scenes, leaving viewers with many unanswered questions, and making the overall experience to be inconsistent.
