Didn't want these to get lost in the larger SW thread.

Amaozon has a killer pre-order price right now.

A Man Called Django/Django And Sartana's Showdown In The West - $6.95!



Django Kills Silently/A Pistol For Django - $6.95!

And given that both covers are touting the new Tarantino movie, at least some good is starting to come out of it!

Yeah, at that price these are a no-brainer. The one I haven't seen is A PISTOL FOR DJANGO aka DJANGO'S CUT PRICE CORPSES, looking forward to that. It doesn't have a good reputation - was directed by the eccentric Luigi Batzella of NUDE FOR SATAN fame so it should at least be insane trash. I bet the quality will be nice for these too.

At the very least we might get a bunch of new dvd releases of any spaghetti western that had Django in its title in some country.

Django's Cut Price Corpses is a much cooler title.

The question is, who will step up and release NUDE DJANGO? David Friedman had a hand in this. Love some of the names listed.

That's a Dietrich one that we haven't seen - I don't know of any DVD release of that in any territory. Would love to see it, I bet it's horrible.

I watched A MAN CALLED DJANGO! recently (always preferred W DJANGO! as the title) and say what you will about the transfer, it's still the best-looking version I've seen. I have the Dagored disc, no surprise that one looked shitty - and was cut to boot, but this new Shout dvd also tops the NEW disc I have. For the price these are a great value and a few posters and the trailer are included too.

If they had left out the few comedy elements - mostly in the early portion - this would be among my top 5 or so Steffen sw. As it is, it's still one of his better ones. I love THE STRANGERS GUNDOWN but I rate GARRINGO as his best I think.

Yeah, it holds up well. And I agree that W Django is a cooler title.

Hopefully these do well and Shout!/Timeless expand on the line. You really cannot beat these for the price.
