Django Nudo and the lustful girls from Porno Hill , in the original English Brand of Shame , is a grindhouse western by Byron Mabe from 1968 , which is known in German-speaking countries above all for its dubbing that goes beyond the original script.

action

When Loki Quark dies, he leaves his daughter, the teacher Lilly Milly Quark, a map showing the location of a gold mine that belongs to him. She travels by carriage to the village of Porno Hill, near which the gold mine is presumably located. During the carriage ride, she meets the cowboy Steve Turner, who offers her his protection. Arriving in Porno Hill, Quark is confronted with numerous people who want to take possession of the gold mine, above all the local brothel operator Miss Mollie and the gunslinger Hacker. Attempts by the two of them to steal the map from Quark fail. When Turner and Hill make their way to the mine, a hacker's henchman chases them and steals their horses along the way, so they have to go back to the village without having achieved anything. Hacker kidnaps and tortures Quark to find out where the mine is. Turner can save them and, with Quark's help, take out hackers. In the end they both find the mine.

German synchronization

The German distribution rights were acquired in 1970 from the Swiss producer Erwin C. Dietrich . In order to upgrade the film material, Dietrich had some additional scenes shot that did not match the rest of the film visually and were of better quality than the original. He also had Walter Baumgartner compose a new title track, equipped individual scenes with new background music and put on one synchronization beyond pure translation. The renowned recording studio Berliner Synchron was commissioned with the latter . The name "Django" for the main character Steve Turner, which does not appear in the original and is based on the popular Western Django from 1966, was only introduced with the German dubbing. Other characters have also been renamed: Rachel Clark is called Lilly Quark in the German version. It was released on DVD in May 2013 as part of the “Cinema Treasures” series, along with an audio commentary by Christian Keßler and Heinz Klett.

criticism

On Kino-Zeit.de, Martin Beck rated the English-language original Brand of Shame as “amateurish” and “lax low-budget cheese”, as well as Mabe's directorial work as “talent-free production”. He described the German synchronization as “Dadaist” and “ Fips Asmussen auf Crack” and stated that the synchronization turned a “bland Western scrap” into a “comedic pearl”. Marco Koch from the Filmforum Bremen described the original Brand of Shame as “one of the most poorly photographed films of all time” due to its camera work and attested the actors “lacking talent”. Regarding the German dubbing, he was largely incomprehensible and assumed "that all speakers were under the influence of mind-expanding drugs". The Ox fanzine counts Django Nudo among the “few true heroic deeds of German dubbing” and describes the original as a “less well-off work”, while the German version of the film is a “comedic highlight”. The film critic Christian Keßler complains about the "gruesome" image direction of the original and considers it "really unsaved".
