Django is a 1966 Italian film directed by Sergio Corbucci and starring Franco Nero in the title role. It became very popular in Europe and is considered a cult film in the USA. It is considered by many as one of the best examples of the spaghetti western with a stirring musical score, gunfights and a quiet anti-hero which followed Franco Nero around with every other Western film he produced. Django is famous for dragging around a coffin which holds a gatling gun, trailing a belt of ammunition behind him. Image File history File links Django. ...

Sequels Django was a sensation the moment it premiered in Italy which saw countless filmmakers and actors who tried to make a penny off the popular film. There have been rumored to be over 100 unofficial sequels produced and over 30 different filmmakers that have the name "Django" somewhere in the title of their film. Some of these films try to continue the story of Django while others have the name and have little or nothing to do with the original Corbucci film. Even though some of these films actually have a character named "Django", these aren't considered true to the original.
In 1987, Sergio Corbucci allowed Ted Archer to produce the only official sequel to his most famous film which was titled Django 2 or Django Strikes Back! (Italian title: Django 2: Il Grande Ritorno). The film sees Franco Nero return to the role as an older Django who is now a monk, as he tries to rescue his daughter from some evil people. Donald Pleasence also stars. 1987 (MCMLXXXVII) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
