Horror Westerns...

Yes, the Django box-set was released by Anchor Bay a few years back. I think Blue Underground or someone has picked it up now.

What do you think about the rest of the series? Did they replace Nero? If so, I probably won't want to see those.

Django and Django's Great Return are the only official Django movies and the only two to star Nero. For some reason Sergio Corbucci never copyrighted the character so everyone was releasing a Django movie or redubbing an existing Western to seem like a Django movie. Someone even released one of Nero's mob movies as Django in Italy. Gotta lovie exploitaion!!!! Thogh not really sequels, Kill, Django, Kill and The Stranger's Gundown are both great!

Haha. Gotta love exploitation indeed. I'll check into those, though I doubt I will find them in my neck of the woods.

This is more sci-fi/western but a really entertaining movie I love is Jesse James meets Frakensteins daughter....

[Dr.Kelvinstein]

Yeah, I dig it too, Ritualistic. I don't have near as many posters as you do (actually only three originals) but I do have a nice one for Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter and Billy The Kid Meets Dracula. Groovy.

Director Eastwood always ascertained an ambiguity about the true nature of the character, and IMO, I never viewed it as a ghost story either. Avenging force, but not a ghost. It was basically a revamping of High Noon, with a more sadistic 70s approach.

I always thought the Mad Max trilogy was a reworking of Leone's dollar trilogy. The format(at least for the 2nd and 3rd, the first was more revenge driven) was basically - stranger arrives in town, plays both sides against each other, gets savagely beaten which results in apocolyptic showdown. Same as Leone.

So, I guess, Max was the Mad Man with No Name. :rolleyes:

Msny years ago, back when cable still played some interesting stuff, I saw a preview for this film:

The Fiend Who Walked the West.

I never got to see it, and I still haven't. It looked very interesting though, and I would love to see it some day.

I think I have, once back in that dreamlike diverse cableland of yore(Christ, forgot Robert Evans was in it, what was he 14?). If I remember right, it was a good one, but at the time, I wasn't much into American oaters, so my memories of it have slipped away. Let me know if you find it.
