This kind of western are too much accepted in Brazil,mainly because around the late sixties had a invasion from this italian productions in ours theatres over the cheapest price allowed for fit in brazilian pockets,another important thing to ad is about a violence available in those pictures a bit more than american productions,in this one a usual movie about endless Django against contless Sartana,nothing new just the same on bad image of course!!Resume:First watch: 2017 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 4

The word 'Django' is really irrelevant in many westerns, as most have nothing to do with the original Franco Nero film "Django". It's NOT the same character and producers tossed the word into titles hoping to lure unsuspecting folks to the theaters looking for a Django film. Now, it's even more confusing with the recent release of the Quentin Tarantino film "Django Unchained"--yet another film that really is not about Django! As for "Django Meets Sartana", it's yet another non-Django film! Confusing, huh?! The film begins with a new sheriff arriving in a town that hasn't seen the law in years. Not surprisingly, the place is overrun by bandits and Jack Ronson (aka 'Sartana'; Fabio Testi) has his hands full. When a bounty hunter named Django (Jack Betts) arrives soon after, Ronson has a new ally to help him get rid of the thugs.So is this Django film worth seeing? Well, probably not unless you absolutely adore Italian westerns which are poorly written. The fight between Sartana and Django makes no sense at all--nor does their dialog in this scene. Plus, with the big shootout with the final group of baddies, one of the men has a clear shot at the Sheriff--but runs up some stairs in order to give the guy a chance to shoot him! The film also seems to have little in the way of unique plot--just one killing after another after another. Sure, there are some decent moments, but the film itself has little to differentiate it from several hundred other Italian westerns. Well, that isn't 100% true--it IS the only western I've ever seen where the Sheriff and the leader of the baddies arm wrestle to show who's the toughest hombre!!By the way, although Jack Betts may not be a name you recognize, this handsome actor later became quite famous in soap operas. The reason you might not recognize him as the same guy is that in "Django Meets Sartana", he had brown hair--not his signature silver hair. Also, note the one battle where it's six against Django. Django's gun CLEARLY shoots more than six shots without reloading (he shoots one guy, the boss, twice)!! Not only is he cool, but he apparently has the ability to defy physics!!Why I did not adore the original "Django", it's sure a lot better than this tripe. Not one of Italy's finer moments in the film world.

The small desert town of Black City is held in a reign of terror by a nasty gang of criminals lead by the ruthless Bud Willer (decently played by Dino Strano, who brings some energy to his stock leering heavy part). Earnest, but inexperienced Sheriff Jack Ronson (a strangely insipid performance by the usually more charismatic and engaging Fabio Testi) arrives in town to establish law and order. Mysterious bounty hunter Django (an equally dreary turn by Jack Betts) helps Ronson out. Director/co-writer Demofilo Fidani crucially fails to bring any much-needed style or spark to the grindingly banal and predictable premise; he allows the narrative to plod along at an agonizingly poky pace, stages the infrequent shoot-outs in a flat and uninspired manner, and elicits drab acting from an understandably disinterested cast. Franco Villa's blah cinematography doesn't help matters any, although Coriolano's funky-groovin' score is amusing in its staggering inappropriateness. Such standard stuff as rough'n'tumble fisticuffs, an arm wrestling match between Ronson and Willer, and a big confrontation in the center of town between Django and Willer's gang barely make much an impression because they are executed in an extremely bland and by-the-numbers way. Ony when Ronson faces off with a bunch of vicious Mexican bandits on a windy morning does the movie finally burst to life and deliver a few worthwhile thrills, but by then it's much too little way too late to compensate for the general heavy-going tedium. A really dismal and instantly forgettable clinker.

Fabio Testi takes a job as the new sheriff in a lawless town besieged by two ruthless gangs. Meanwhile, tough mystery man Hunt Powers also arrives to take care of some unfinished business. Considering the title of the film, you can pretty much guess who these two strangers turn out to be!A derivative, so-so spaghetti western, One Damned Day At Dawn...Django Meets Sartana! has good atmosphere, production values, and two decent actors in the title roles, just not a very good script.As in all three films I've seen from director Miles Deem, it's just too rushed and sloppy for it's own good, though not as bad as the other two.I would recommend this only for people who have already seen everything else.
