The notorious "matinee version" that's circulating doesn't do it justice. Gioulio Questi joined the resistance and fights the Germans and the Italian fascist establishment.
Probably the main reason why this film works so well is because the characters are well done.
This is a strange hybrid of action, horror, comedy and drama.
Great editing by Franco Arcalli, that are unusual for a 36 years old film. They make him gold bullets so he can avenge his dead friends and punish those that did him wrong. - Full Movie by Film&Clips - YouTube
Django kill came out when the genre started to change and new elements were contributing the spaghetti western.
"If You Live, Shoot!" Review: The Spaghetti Western has spanned many different sub-genres since Sergio Leone defined its conventions with A Fistful of Dollars. is entirely a spaghetti western that is better viewed in the morning than at night (due to its long drawn out storyline).
There it seemed to stall, not knowing which way to go and being disorienting. If You Live, Shoot!"
It goes on for quite a long time, and gets dull on occasion, but it's also noteworthy for its content. The locals are half mad religious fanatics or money hungry sleazes, all after the stolen gold. Tomas Milian mind flits back to the circumstances of his attempted murder by his 'gringo' fellow outlaws. You have so few plots." From the curious opening scene with Tomas Milian crawling out of a grave to the brutal lynchings and gothic horror drenching of one of many villains in liquid gold- this is a real treat for genre fans.
