Giù le mani... carogna! (Django Story) (or simply The Django Story or Giù le mani... carogna!)[1] is a 1971 Italian Spaghetti western film directed by Demofilo Fidani (credited as Lucky Dickinson). The film is known in English as Down with Your Hands... You Scum!
Premise and production
[edit]Django enters a saloon and meets Wild Bill Hickok; and starts telling the story of various episodes of his life.
This premise allowed the film to re-use lengthy parts of footage from earlier films by Fidani, ...e vennero in quattro per uccidere Sartana! (1969), Quel maledetto giorno d'inverno... Django e Sartana... all'ultimo sangue!'' (1970), Arrivano Django e Sartana... è la fine (1970).[2]
Cast
[edit]- Jack Betts (credited as Hunt Powers)[2] as Django
- Gordon Mitchell as Buck/Butch Bradley[2]
- Dino Strano (as Dean Stratford)[2] as Dea; Bobby O'Neill; El Zorro
- Jerry Ross as Bill Hickok[2]
Reception
[edit]An Italian review of the time characterises the film as: "A Western film directed in the most terrible way".[1] A retrospective review, commenting on the poor quality of the film but also the financial limitations of its production, asks: "The cheapest Spaghetti ever made?"[3]
