Having spawned nearly 30 unofficial sequels, it's rather funny that the only official sequel to the original would take 21 years to come out, long after the imitators had died out, and would see our beloved gunslinger Django going full Commando. Nero's engrossing performance and return to his most famous role manage to trump the rather lacklustre production values and often flat direction, while Donald Pleasence's amusing turn as Ben Gunn helps provide the movie with a bit more star power in the filmmaker's attempts to revitalise the spaghetti western genre. It's very much a movie for the fans, chocked full of explosive action, occasionally stylish and hard hitting imagery, that despite Django Strikes Again's unfortunate shortcomings remains a very fun and noble attempt to bring back a waning genre.
