After wasting 90 minutes watching this, I must be mad doing a review, but there are only seven others and one of them gives it a ten rating. Nice that the guy enjoyed it but can he not see that "A Fistful of Dollars", say, is maybe just a little bit better? Or does his amp go up to 11? Oh well, if I save one person from watching this, it will all be worthwhile.I suggest reading the one critic review, which gives more than you need to know of the minimal excuse for a plot and points out that there's nothing remarkable here, either good or bad. That's indeed the main impression – just nothing. But it's worse than that – I swear no-one involved in making this even cared. The acting is nonexistent – only Django's sister and director Mulargia as a bad guy seem even to be trying. And OMG, the plot! We open with the murder of Django's father. Django shows up and on hearing this dreadful news, shows no emotion – but then he never does, whether because he's too tough for such trivia as feelings or, more likely, he knows he can't act so why bother to try? Revenge for a murdered father – the ultimate plot-driver in this macho world, but our hero gets that revenge 15 minutes in and the rest of the movie is about who gets some bag of money. So superior is our Django that no opponent or combination of opponents pose the least threat and the fight-scenes have no interest at all. In fact he has only one possible weakness – the sister. So what does he do? Of course – leaves her unguarded where all the bad guys know she is and goes to sit in the saloon doing nothing. And what happens next? Well, I wouldn't want to, er, spoil it for you (?!?) The stuff the bad guys do makes no more sense. None of them go after the money, instead riding around killing one another off for reasons no-one ever bothers to explain. Had Django not showed up at all, it seems the outcome would have been much the same. If only he hadn't – then no-one would have had to watch this nonsense.

DON'T WAIT, DJANGO...SHOOT! is a lame attempt to jump onto the Django bandwagon, and it's obvious from the outset that the main character's name has merely been changed to Django in post production in order to cash in on the success of the Franco Nero movie. It's nothing like a Django film at all, the titular character doesn't even wear the trademark clothing, and is instead a standard vengeance-seeking gunslinger.The film opens as an elderly man is gunned down by a gang of Mexican cut-throats, leaving his grown up son and daughter seeking revenge for the crime. This revenge takes an inordinately long time to play out, with the running time interspersed with routine intrigue and some very unexciting shoot-outs.One of the most interesting things about the production, for me, is the presence of Ivan Rassimov in the leading role. Rassimov is well known for his appearances in '70s movies like DEEP RIVER SAVAGES and it's fun to watching him play against his real-life sister, Rada, but he doesn't make much of an impression in this one. Pedro Sanchez has a supporting role and plays the usual larger-than-life character. The truth is that nobody's on fire here, particularly director Edoardo Mulargia who churned out at least a dozen of these cut-price spaghetti westerns.

Django (played by Ivan Rassimov in this incarnation) returns home to find out that his father has been killed, by local banditos, in a business deal gone wrong . Revenge is sworn, and a mixture of lone gun men, gang members and other assorted western types get involved with the search for a pouch of money, missing from the deal.To me this film just seems to be a poor mans Leone flick. All of the elements are there, gunslinging good guy, evil gang leader, revenge, a general lack of respect for life by everyone, a Morrcone style score and stylistic cinematography. The problem is that none of it is up to the Dollars trilogy standard. Ivan Rassimov is no Clint Eastwood (or Franco Nero for that matter, the original Django), it has neither the pace nor timing of something like The Good, The Bad and the Ugly and the music is pretty much cookie-cutter Morricone, that seems to have come out a bit misshapen.Another problem Django Don't Wait has is that it has too many characters, all of them who have their own agenda, making it a bit difficult to follow exactly what happens. The lack of action and over abundance of talking, and just general filler, is probably one of the reasons I did not want to put the effort into following the plot line.

This Spaghetti Western from Mulargia is a very nice B-Movie with good actors, music and atmosphere.The most time of the movie is placed in a little town and that is very good for the atmosphere of the movie. Ivan Rassimov is very good in the part of Django and also Petro Sanchez is a very good partner for him. Rassimov's sister plays his real sister Rada. You can also see the writer and director Vincenzo Musolino in the part of Hondo. The great score is composed by Felice Di Stefano who also composed a few other scores for Mulargia and Musolino.All in all this Western is a great B-Movie and a must see for Spaghetti fans.
