Great song! But anyway, this is basically a derivative but entertaining Italian western with a heavier than normal dose of violence, such as a man having his ear cut off and fed to him. Poor acting and direction and a tasteless look are minuses, though. Nero is a 3rd rate Eastwood. No really thrilling action, and suspense is replaced by violence -- pointing the way for future Italian and American films. The street was the most interesting character in the movie (and I don't mean that as an insult; it's one of the only movies you could say something like that about). Good soundtrack (laughable title track is a plus). Nero went on to continue his semi-stardom in numerous westerns and "American Ninja" flicks; Django went on to become one of the most popular characters in the history of Italian films (there's almost as many Django films as Maciste films). He's a cool character, and his entrance dragging an empty coffin through the mud is a memorable one.
