Django - The Vultures Stand in Line is a Spaghetti Western by Alberto Cardone from 1966.
action
Johnny Ashley's (in the German version: Django ) wife was killed and his son Jerry kidnapped. Django has been looking for him for almost 20 years. Near the town of Wishville, where fate brings all the protagonists together, he lives as the almost adult son of the bandit boss "El Chacal". Django's lover Emily is the owner of a saloon in the village. Her younger sister Sybil, who falls in love with Jerry, is used by Django as a source of information, whereupon Jerry shoots her. Django succeeds in a seemingly never-ending murderous fist fight to eliminate the jackal , whereupon Jerry tries to kill him in revenge. Before that he shoots his adoptive mother, the jackal's wife. Django tries to save Jerry when he learns that Jerry is his kidnapped son. In the final fight in the mud (the duel is accompanied by a thunderstorm and torrential rain), he wrestles with Jerry and tries to get him to flee to save him from hanging. However, Jerry dies when he pulls his knife and falls into it unhappily.
reception
"Another product of the Django series, extremely brutal, with senseless scenes of violence and killing."
"An alleged director does his best ... to bring some momentum to the matter."
"Although the film may still be a bit half-baked, the director manages to create a dark and brutal atmosphere ... extremely dramatic and atmospheric music."
“(Cardone) tells a no-frills story of revenge with no major surprises. The tragic potential of the situation probably passed Cardone by. "
background
- One of the first films in the long collaboration between Alberto Cardone and Mario Siciliano , here with Anthony Steffen . Often these works are shaped by biblical (and Greek) figure constellations or situations, here the opaque family entanglements from which almost all protagonists suffer.
- The film is also preceded by a "Bible quote", actually a mixture of different verses from the Book of Proverbs (Solomon):
- "My son hear these words: (4.20; 5.1 and more - usual beginning of the instructions there)
- All people are born the same, (unassignable)
- but folly is bound to the youth's heart. (22.15)
- And once this has taken its path (a paraphrase of Prov. 2)
- he will no longer deviate from it. (as well)
- Dealing with the wise makes you wise; (13.20)
- but whoever has pleasure in fools will fall into sin. ”(13:20)
- The original title ("Seven dollars on red") refers to the fact that after the murder of Django's Indian wife, the jackal throws seven one-dollar coins on the woman's red skirt and cynically says that Django could get a new, cheap one for it Buy Indian squaw.
- The German theatrical version was shortened by about ten minutes; the DVD version is complete.
- The film songs are sung by Peter Tevis and July Ray .
