Along with Clint Eastwood's Sergio Leone trilogy, one of the most influential spaghetti westerns was Sergio Corbucci's Django, in which the handsome Franco Nero plays a gruff mercenary dragging a coffin behind him. After destroying an army of bad guys with his machine gun (which he swings from his hip with two fists in classic tough guy style), he stages a daring gold heist at a Mexican military fortress and then plans to betray his fellow bandits. Corbucci, co-author of the story "," creates a mercilessly brutal tale of rival gangs draining the lives of a muddy, bloody border town while reveling in the sadism of the genre. The film begins with a woman being hanged and whipped by a group of lecherous thugs, only to be rescued by even more sadistic thugs who plan to burn her alive. Django fan Quentin Tarantino borrowed the scene in which a vengeful general cuts off the ear of a corrupt Reservoir Dogs preacher. While not as elegant as Leone's operatic epic, "Django" pushed the boundaries of violence into entirely new territory, and the film was banned in England and cut in the United States.S. There were 20 unofficial sequels before Nero returned 20 years later with the only legal sequel, Django Strikes Again. Meanwhile, Nero continued his sleazy anti-hero role by taking on the role of singing medieval super knight Lancelot in Camelot!
