Django has gone soft, buried his machine gun, and is now a monk. When a woman tells him his daughter has been kidnapped and forced into slavery, Django decides he has to right this wrong.
DSA feels very much like an Italian exploitation film to me. There is such a heavy use of fog, I wouldn't have been surprised if one of the corpses got up and started eating the flesh of the living (ie Fulci). Django kills three men very slasher like when he decapitates them in a single swoop from a scythe that he gets from a grim reaper statue. And lastly, the way the other slaves are portrayed remind me of cannibals, they rip apart at least one man.
The excellent Django theme song is no where to be found, but the groovy score that is present certainly delivers when Django is causing death and destruction.
Minus the film's prologue, DSA feels nothing like a western to me. I've read other people praising DSA's prologue, but it came off real corny to me. I do agree DSA feels more like a Rambo riff, which is funny to me because at one point film makers were copying Django and now, Django is copying another film.
DSA is a bit slow and incoherent for me. The Anchor Bay disc I watched didn't have English captions even when I had the film's Italian audio track on, so I had a bit of a tough time understanding the dialogue.
It may not be as memorable as the original Django, but it's a blast to see Franco Nero once again wielding his machine gun and take no prisoners!
