History Film / Django

And later, inspired ''SukiyakiWesternDjango'' and QuentinTarantino's ''Film/DjangoUnchained''.

A SpaghettiWestern from 1966 directed by Sergio Corbucci starring Franco Nero as Django (the D is silent), an [[TheWildWest Old West]] gunfighter who drags a coffin behind him wherever he goes. Pretty standard set-up: mysterious, BadAss stranger comes to town, shoots a lot of bad guys, and plays two groups of outlaws against each other, all in search of revenge and/or money. Had a reputation at the time for being one of the most violent movies ever, though by modern standards it's nowhere close.

* {{Gorn}}: When some outlaws cut off a man's ear and make him eat it. That scene got the movie (which is otherwise no more violent than the average SpaghettiWestern) banned in several countries. It's probably the most sadistic scene in the entire Western genre. Several villains in SergioLeone's films has cruel acts, but this goes too far!

* FollowTheLeader: ''Film/AFistfulOfDollars'' was so successful translating ''Film/{{Yojimbo}}'' into a WildWest setting that the makers of ''{{Django}}'' decided to do the same thing. And, sure enough, a bunch of later movies then copied ''Django''.

* OneManArmy.[[spoiler:It helps that Django is the only person with a machine gun.]]

* BadAss - Django. He's a SpaghettiWestern protagonist, what did you expect?

** OneManArmy

* BloodlessCarnage - Except for a couple of isolated gore shots (including the infamous ear slicing scene), there's almost no blood in the movie. Literally ''dozens'' of people get gunned down.
* CavalierConsumption - Eating food is given as a textbook example of villainy. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q4A3uVWbA0 Watch and learn.]]

* ChekhovsGun - That coffin Django's always carrying around, and that quicksand at the start of the movie.
* CripplingTheCompetition - Bandits ride over Django's hands with horses in retaliation for stealing gold from them.
* CulturalTranslation - A minor case occurs in the last scene. In the Italian version, Major Jackson tells Django to pray, and then shoots at the four points of a cruciform tombstone while saying "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." In the English version, he still tells Django to pray, but the rest of his dialogue consists of him repeating things like "I can't hear you yet." This may be because the translators had a keener sense of religious differences among Americans: a Southerner (especially one affiliated with the pseudo-KKK) is not likely to use a Catholic formula like the Sign of the Cross.
* {{Fanservice}} - Three words: hooker mud wrestling. Also, that one prostitute doing a striptease.
* FollowTheLeader - ''Film/AFistfulOfDollars'' was so successful translating ''Film/{{Yojimbo}}'' into a WildWest setting that the makers of ''{{Django}}'' decided to do the same thing. And, sure enough, a bunch of later movies then copied ''Django''.
* {{Gorn}} - When some outlaws cut off a man's ear and make him eat it. That scene got the movie (which is otherwise no more violent than the average SpaghettiWestern) banned in several countries.
* TheGunslinger - Django, of the QuickDraw and [[ImprobableAimingSkills Trick Shot]] variety. [[spoiler:Also acts as a [[MoreDakka Vaporizer]] when he pulls the machine gun out of his coffin.]]
* HandicappedBadass - [[spoiler:Django, after his hands are broken.]]
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold - Maria and a couple of the other prostitutes.
* ImprobableAimingSkills - Django. [[spoiler:Even when his hands are broken, he manages to kill six men using six bullets in far less than six seconds.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown - Django gets one at the hands of Hugo's men and the hooves of Hugo's horses.
* NoWomansLand - All the women in the movie are prostitutes, and the outlaws work very hard to keep it that way.
* OldFriend - General Hugo Rodriguez, the leader of the Mexican bandits, turns out to be an old friend of Django's.
* OneManArmy - Django. [[spoiler:It helps that he's the only person with a machine gun.]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge - It's unclear how much of Django's violence is this and how much is his quest for gold.
* SpaghettiWestern - One of the most famous non-Leone examples of the SubGenre.

Inspired a number of other {{Spaghetti Western}}s that also used the word "Django" in their titles, Italian copyright law being pretty lax on stuff like that. The latest of these is Creator/QuentinTarantino's newest film, ''Film/DjangoUnchained''.
