According to dvdaficianado, Raro is going to release Sergio Garrone's HANGING FOR DJANGO (Una Lunga fila di croci, 1969) starring Anthony Steffen on region A blu-ray July 23. Evidently it was shot entirely in the vicinity of Rome and never went to Almeria, Spain. Also evidently it only became a Django entry in the dubbing. I have this in the huge Timeless box but I don't recognize it. Will check it out now. Maybe an upgrade is worth it.
I'm really disappointed in both Django Double Feature collections released by Timeless. The transfers are fine. No complaints about picture quality or aspect ratios. It's just that the films are lower-tier spags, and probably not really Django films at all. Slapping the Django label on almost any spag may have helped sell tickets back then and DVD's now but it don't help the films any. What I mean is, viewers might perceive the stories differently if they weren't hobbled by that hook.
