Myriad influences

Nero’s involvement remained unconfirmed, but there was at least a link between the Italian actor and the newly confirmed project. Nero played the title character in 1966 western Django, directed by Sergio Corbucci and considered at the time of release to be one of the most violent films ever made.

Meanwhile, Tarantino’s choice of title appears also to draw on Takashi Miike’s Sukiyaki Western Django, a film in which the director himself had a small part. All the pieces fit, you see?

      Great Feature! (About time too..) Although I'm baffled as to why QT handed his script to dateless wonder Harry Knowles for scrunity. Yes Knowles army of virginal call of duty rage-failures are influential, but Knowles hasnt exactly set the world on fire with his own screenwriting efforts.

      Got as far as Jamie Foxx has the role then stopped. Completely lost interest now.
