django the bastard (1969)

AKA Django the Avenger. The Stranger's Gundown.
"The Devil...from hell. You're lucky you won't see me again."
Django (Anthony Steffen) is a former confederate soldier who returns from the dead to take revenge on three officers who betrayed his unit in battle.

This is the film that everyone says inspired Clint Eastwoods "High Plains Drifter", and it does indeed follow a similar plot structure, but with the added crazyness that only the Italians can bring to the western. There is the usual gun fights and black humour, but Steffen cannot hold a candle to Eastwood, giving new meaning to the word wooden, and with a complete lack of suspense, the script is much the same.
