django kill... if you live, shoot! (1967)

aka Giulio Questi - Se sei vivo spara.
Django (Tomas Milian) is a Mexican outlaw, betrayed and left for dead in the desert, following a robbery. Alive and seeking revenge he tracks his betrayers to a small town and finds all forms of greed there, with Django in the middle of the various townsfolk, all fighting over the stolen gold.
The style of the film makes for a strange hybrid of action, horror, comedy and drama as the director comments on civilised society's hypocrisy and greed. Despite the name, this Django has nothing to do with the original, the title just being a way for the film makers to cash in on the success of the previous film.
