Watch Don't Wait, Django… Shoot! For Free

Excellent but underrated film

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

After wasting 90 minutes watching this, I must be mad doing a review, but there are only seven others and one of them gives it a ten rating. Nice that the guy enjoyed it but can he not see that "A Fistful of Dollars", say, is maybe just a little bit better? Or does his amp go up to 11? Oh well, if I save one person from watching this, it will all be worthwhile.I suggest reading the one critic review, which gives more than you need to know of the minimal excuse for a plot and points out that there's nothing remarkable here, either good or bad. That's indeed the main impression – just nothing. But it's worse than that – I swear no-one involved in making this even cared. The acting is nonexistent – only Django's sister and director Mulargia as a bad guy seem even to be trying. And OMG, the plot! We open with the murder of Django's father. Django shows up and on hearing this dreadful news, shows no emotion – but then he never does, whether because he's too tough for such trivia as feelings or, more likely, he knows he can't act so why bother to try? Revenge for a murdered father – the ultimate plot-driver in this macho world, but our hero gets that revenge 15 minutes in and the rest of the movie is about who gets some bag of money. So superior is our Django that no opponent or combination of opponents pose the least threat and the fight-scenes have no interest at all. In fact he has only one possible weakness – the sister. So what does he do? Of course – leaves her unguarded where all the bad guys know she is and goes to sit in the saloon doing nothing. And what happens next? Well, I wouldn't want to, er, spoil it for you (?!?) The stuff the bad guys do makes no more sense. None of them go after the money, instead riding around killing one another off for reasons no-one ever bothers to explain. Had Django not showed up at all, it seems the outcome would have been much the same. If only he hadn't – then no-one would have had to watch this nonsense.

Django (Ivan Rassimov) returns to the family home to find his father has been robbed and murdered by bandits. Ignoring the advice and pleas of his sister Mary (played by Rassimov's real life sister Rada), Django sets off to town for revenge. But this is merely the beginning of things...There's enough enjoyment here for the very hardcore Spaghetti Western fan, but expectations levels really should be set at low. There's plenty of the standard Spag shootings, stand-offs and posturings, moody atmosphere and the music is pretty ace (Felice Di Stefano), but the structure of the pic is off.Directed by Edoardo Mulargia and written by Vincenzo Musolino, the creators take a gamble by having the revenge aspect played out very early in the piece, the plot then thrusts a multitude of characters involved - in one way or another - in the search for the missing money taken when Django's pa was killed. The whole piece feels like a string of sequences stacked up against each other without a flowing sense of rhyme or reason. It doesn't help that this incarnation of Django is bland and it is in fact his side-kick Barrica (played by Ignazio Spalla) that engages more on the fun and entertainment front. The low budget shows on occasions (watch out for that deja vu feeling), whilst logic jumps and daftness are never far away.Needlessly complex in telling and structure, pic is marginally saved by the action and some colourful characters, but really it is for those die-hard Spag fans only. 5/10

DON'T WAIT, DJANGO...SHOOT! is a lame attempt to jump onto the Django bandwagon, and it's obvious from the outset that the main character's name has merely been changed to Django in post production in order to cash in on the success of the Franco Nero movie. It's nothing like a Django film at all, the titular character doesn't even wear the trademark clothing, and is instead a standard vengeance-seeking gunslinger.The film opens as an elderly man is gunned down by a gang of Mexican cut-throats, leaving his grown up son and daughter seeking revenge for the crime. This revenge takes an inordinately long time to play out, with the running time interspersed with routine intrigue and some very unexciting shoot-outs.One of the most interesting things about the production, for me, is the presence of Ivan Rassimov in the leading role. Rassimov is well known for his appearances in '70s movies like DEEP RIVER SAVAGES and it's fun to watching him play against his real-life sister, Rada, but he doesn't make much of an impression in this one. Pedro Sanchez has a supporting role and plays the usual larger-than-life character. The truth is that nobody's on fire here, particularly director Edoardo Mulargia who churned out at least a dozen of these cut-price spaghetti westerns.

This Spaghetti Western from Mulargia is a very nice B-Movie with good actors, music and atmosphere.The most time of the movie is placed in a little town and that is very good for the atmosphere of the movie. Ivan Rassimov is very good in the part of Django and also Petro Sanchez is a very good partner for him. Rassimov's sister plays his real sister Rada. You can also see the writer and director Vincenzo Musolino in the part of Hondo. The great score is composed by Felice Di Stefano who also composed a few other scores for Mulargia and Musolino.All in all this Western is a great B-Movie and a must see for Spaghetti fans.
