The Basis of almost every modern western. I just love the theme tune!

Synopsis: A coffin-dragging gunslinger enters a town caught between two feuding factions, the KKK and a gang of Mexican Bandits. That man is Django, and he is caught up in a struggle against both parties.

NOTE:::::

I watched this in the original Spanish with English subtitles.. The way it should be 😉

Brilliant.. I always love a Rian Johnson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt combo!

 

Synopsis: In 2074, when the mob wants to get rid of someone, the target is sent 30 years into the past, where a hired gun awaits. Someone like Joe, who one day learns the mob wants to ‘close the loop’ by transporting back Joe’s future self.

 

p.s. ‘blunderbuss’ is a great word!

Epic violence but the story line was weak and slightly boring.
