Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot! (1967)

 

Directed by Giulio Questi. Tomas Milan. One of the first gay spaghetti westerns. One of the most bizarre movies I've ever seen. The first time I watched it it blew my mind. It is shot like a gothic horror movie with gothic horror sets. Controversial for a couple of scenes of extreme violence, a man shot with golden bullets is torn apart by villagers for the gold. Has nothing to do with the Django series. Not only one of my favorite spaghetti westerns, but one of my favorite movies, period. It is seriously strange. Found on Youtube (the first time I saw it was a beauty HD version on Youtube that was deleted, I can't vouch for the one I'm about to watch yet.)

Django Kill...If You LIve, Shoot! was described by film historian Howard Hughes as "difficult to pigeonhole", noting it encompassed the Westernhorror film, and splatter film genres, describing it as "the weirdest Italian made Western". It is well known for the surrealistic violence and for the psychedelic editing of Franco "Kim" ArcalliPhil Hardy defines it as "the most brutally violent spaghetti western ever made". Describing the film, Christopher Frayling says that "the violence was of an extraordinarily savage kind". Antonio Bruschini writes that "this film is the first western to offer a sample of truly horrendous scenes". Marco Giusti defines the film as the most violent and bizarre ever filmed in Italy. It has also been characterized as an Acid Western.
