Hold on to your holsters and hang up your spurs, then sit back and keep an eye out for any roaming bandits with these four spaghetti western classics:DJANGO: Though Sergio Leone created the spaghetti western with A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, the genre was not popularized in Europe until Sergio Corbucci's DJANGO, which subsequently spawned countless illegitimate sequels. The film stars the Belgian hunk Franco Nero as Django, a mysterious gunslinger who drags a coffin behind him that contains a Gatling gun. Django soon happens upon a Mexican town where a group of Mexican revolutionaries, led by the nefarious Colonel Jackson, have overrun the town, wantonly killing its citizens. Soon, Django, who has a personal vendetta against Colonel Jackson, finds himself in league with a group of Mexican bandits who want to steal the Colonel's gold with the help of Django and his Gatling gun. Combining a stylish use of spaghetti western conventions -- among them a cruel and cartoonish bad guy as well as dramatic music that punctuates the action -- DJANGO is one of the best and most popular films the genre has ever produced.DJANGO, KILL: From the pen of screenwriter Franco Arcalli (ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA, LAST TANGO IN PARIS) comes one of the most infamous DJANGO movies, DJANGO, KILL! Coveted for many years by Spaghetti-Western connoisseurs, and championed by long-time fan Alex Cox (REPO MAN, SID AND NANCY), this definitive version has been restored from the original Italian negative, and is fully uncut. Tomas Milian stars as the title character, arising from a desert grave after being double-crossed, only to find all his partners brutally slaughtered. He seeks revenge in a town called "The Unhappy Place," encountering torture, depravity, greed and sexual debauchery everywhere he turns. Director Giulio Questi leaves nothing to the imagination in this tale of corruption, and be warned, DJANGO, KILL! is not for the faint hearted!RUN MAN RUN: This release of RUN MAN RUN is the first fully uncut version to be released in America. Directed by Sergio Sollima (REVOLVER, VIOLENT CITY), and starring Tomas Milian (TRAFFIC), this brutal, often sadistic, western is an epic political thriller, complete with an Ennio Morricone/Bruno Nicolai score. Milian plays the role of Cuchillo, on the run from bandits, federal agents, bounty hunters, and his fiancee! All are chasing a hidden stash of gold which could potentially fund the Mexican Revolution, and Cuchillo is going to have some running to do if he wants to achieve his target. RUN MAN RUN pulls no punches in getting its overtly political message across, the performances and direction eventually culminating in a bloody finale that will have you on the edge of your seat.MANNAJA: A MAN CALLED BLADE: Presented fully uncut for the first time in America, MANNAJA is a spaghetti western from the twisted mind of infamous Italian director Sergio Martino (TORSO). Maurizio Merli (FATAL CHARMS, FEARLESS) stars as Blade, a ruthless bounty hunter trying to escape from his past misdeeds. A fierce orgy of guns and violence erupts when Blade upsets the residents of a corrupt town, causing numerous standoff's between himself and the local residents. For fans who have awaited this release for many years, the good news is that the infamous 'eyeball torture' scene is fully intact. For newcomers, the mere fact that there is an 'eyeball torture' sequence should give you some idea of the no-holds barred thrills that await you!
