Squelching across a God-forsaken ghost town near the US/Mexican border, always dragging a heavy coffin, blue-eyed Django, a drifting, mud-spattered, former Union soldier, saves runaway María from certain death. But, the wooden container with the mysterious content has already caught the attention of the racist ex-Confederate officer, Major Jackson, and his gang of white supremacists, and before long, things get nasty. Now, the guns have the final say, and as if that weren't enough, Jackson's sworn enemy, General Hugo Rodríguez, and his feared revolutionaries, enter the picture, wanting to have a piece of the action. Can Django, the taciturn stranger with the lighting-fast right hand, take on two armies of murderous henchmen, and live to tell the tale?

| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesIt's a simple story, but it sticks with you because of what it says about humanity shackled by the structures it built: government, religion, commerce. |
| What CultureEd WhitfieldWhen Tarantino's bulging eyes first laid eyes on Django...one can understand his affection for the film's memorable iconography - the dragged coffin, the hand crushed by a rifle butt; stylisation that made a two dime plot more colourful, more memorable. |
| Slant MagazineBudd WilkinsIn a genre known for endless knock-offs, a trend that includes Django’s 30-plus sequels, Corbucci’s film is notable not only for the artistry of its construction, but also for the underlying anger that fuels its political agenda. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzI found it to be a wonderful junk film to nosh on between more nutritious films, if you may. |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceFlavorful enough to convince us that its multitude of sequels was no fluke. |
| Stream on DemandSean AxmakerCorbucci, who co-wrote the story, fashions an unrelentingly violent tale of rival gangs squeezing the life out of a muddy, bloody border town, reveling in the sadism of the genre. |
| EmpireKim NewmanThe story isn't as strong as either Leone or Corbucci's best work, but the iconic imagery and solid central performance from Nero make it easy to see why this became a worldwide success. |
| San Francisco ExaminerJeffrey M. AndersonOne of the greatest of all Spaghetti Westerns. |
| Austin ChronicleJerry RenshawThe first in a series of popular Django movies helped define the Italian tradition of spaghetti Westerns with a tormented antihero, extreme, sadistic levels of violence, and loud, heroic music. |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsThe action that follows doesn't stray too far from formula, nor does it come close to Leone's film, but it's stylishly entertaining enough to serve as a passable time-filler, particularly when its second-rate hero takes to wielding an oversized (and anachronistic) handheld machine gun. |
