This brain dead remake of the same nonsensical crap from Django (1966) pits a long haired older (Franco Nero) who doesn't even seem interested in the role.
From the absurd opening shot of two old geezers shooting each other, to the more insane mad pirate Captain who lives on some slave ship steam hauler, this film has absolutely nowhere to go.
Sadly wasted are Donald Pleasance, in a film he probably made only for liquor money and Franco Nero, who could have picked a better writer and director than his old friend, director Nello Rossati.
Sergio Corbucci's Django came out in 1966. They waited nineteen years to make this tomfoolery? What was the point? Probably the video rentals market demanded it.
If you watch the DVD extra on the making of the Django (1966) film, the actor talks about how they didn't have a script or money for most of the film, and I said to myself, "That is why it's so bad." Yes indeed, take away an interesting story, and then the movie suddenly becomes nothing at all.
Everything about this Django Strikes Again (1987) picture looks cheap, the effects, the boats, the costumes, and we don't really get a sense that an actual story is being told, just pointless bad versus good archetypes.
Avoid this nonsense at all costs.
You will be better served by watching The Magnificent Seven (1960) again for the hundredth time.
