Genre: Foreign / Western
aka: Django Strikes Again
Director: Nello Rossati
Cast: Franco Nero, Donald Pleasence, Christopher Connelly, William Berger, Rodrigo Obregon, Alessandro Di Chio, Licia Lee Lyon, Roberto Posse, Consuelo Reina, Bill Moore
After the original "Django" in 1966, which was a landmark spaghetti Western, many "unofficial" films centered on Django were made. This film is the "real" sequel, and Franco Nero returns as the dark hero, Django, who has put violence behind him and is now a monk. But things change when his daughter is kidnapped and put to work as a slave. It's time to dig up his Gatling gun from the cemetery and go to work. A poor sequel.

Genre: Foreign / Western
aka: The Violent Breed
Director: Enzo G. Castellari

Keoma (Franco Nero) returns home from the Civil War hoping for some rest and relaxation, but his plans must be put on hold when a ruthless gang leader threatens the peace-loving people of the community. To make matters worse, his three half-brothers, who have always resented half-breed Keoma, are aligned with the gang leader. A violent film, but a cut above the normal spaghetti Western–and one of the last of the genre.
