Nice Italian Western with tragic atmosphere , wonderful musical score and special appearance by the great Fernando Sancho

For 10.000 dollars , Django , a bounty hunter (Gary Hudson or Gianni Garco , usual player of Sartana character , another famous hero of S.W.) swears to chase Manuel (Claudio Camaso who subsequently committed suicide) who has kidnapped the daughter (Adriana Ambesi) of a baron land . As Django along with his faithful friend , a likable photographer named Fidelio looking for evil Manuel . But his lover (a saloon-girl played by Loredana Nusciak) is killed and Django seeks vengeance . Meanwhile , Djanjo is double-crossed and the daughter who suffers Stockholm syndrome falls in love with Manuel .

Acceptable twilight Spaghetti Western with interesting dialogue by the usual writer Ernesto Gastaldi , splendid cinematography by Zanni and memorable musical score by Nora Orlandi . It is a typical Spaghetti Western in which blends the common scenarios , as invincible and tough antiheroes , complex as well as fast showdowns with numerous casualties , impulsive and quick zooms , and musical score with Morricone influence . The picture has a certain remembrance to ¨For a fistful dollars more¨ (Sergio Leone) regarding the avenging theme and including Manuel character who bears remarkable resemblance to Indio role (Gian Maria Volonte) ; furthermore , Claudio Camaso was brother of Volonte and holding physical likeness and similar playing . Besides , good set decoration filmed in Elios studios and , of course , Almeria (Spain) . It also bears remarkable resemblance to ¨Django¨ (Sergio Corbucci) regarding ‘the Saloon girl character’ , equally interpreted by Loredana Nusciak . The highlights of the movie result to be the followings : when the hero wakes up from the beach along with a corpse , Django living in a photography back room studio decorated against posters captioning ¨Wanted : Dead or alive¨ , the phantom village full of dust and wind and Django buried until neck , among others . ¨Ten thousand dollars blood money¨ was shot at the same time to ¨For one hundred thousand dollars per killing (by Giovanni Fago)¨ with similar artist and technician team and also starred by Gianni Garco , Claudio Camaso and Fernando Sancho . The motion picture finely produced by Mino Loy , Luciano and Sergio Martino brothers was well directed by Romolo Guerrieri who also made other Pasta Westerns . Romolo is a good craftsman who has directed all type of genres such as post-nuke Sci-fi as ¨ The last warrior¨ , Italian crime or Poliziottesco as “Young, Violent, Dangerous” , ¨City under siege¨ , “Ring of Death” and westerns as ¨Johnny Yuma¨ and ¨Seven guns for Timothy¨ again with Fernando Sancho . Rating : Better than average Spaghetti Western .

Thin lines between Good, Bad & Ugly

Django is hunting the bandit Manuel, because there’s a price on his head. But when he meets Manuel, he joins his gang instead for a robbery. Yes, this the world of spaghetti westerns where the lines between Good, Bad and Ugly are thin, indeed. Manuel kills Django’s girlfriend (Loredana Nusciak, known from the original “Django”), which sets Django’s mind back on his original idea of bounty hunting… This movie is quite obviously inspired by “Django”, although it’s not an official sequel. Shot just one year later, it casts Loredana Nusciak in a similar part, and Gianni Garko looks more like Franco Nero than like himself in other movies. If you remember Garko as the screaming lunatic in “Mille dollari sul nero”, or as the gambler and gunman with all the funny lines in “Buon funerale amigos”, he proves to be versatile as an actor here. If you are into Italian westerns, you won’t be disappointed by this movie. Only silly thing: Claudio Camaso (as Manuel) put on so much mascara like he was going to play the baddie in a silent movie.

This spaghetti could have used more Tabasco hot-sauce!

Another unofficial “Django” sequel, with yet another Franco Nero lookalike reprising the role of the silent but deadly gunslinger. It’s practically impossible to inventory all the Django spaghetti westerns that were made in a relatively short time span, so it’s advisable to restrict yourself to the really good ones. I’m still in doubt whether or not “10,000 Dollars for a Massacre” deserves to be labeled as a good one, though. The film knows a handful of genuinely powerful moments, and the atmosphere is overall very grim and melancholic, but on the other hand the plot is also quite mundane, and I was missing the truly raw & filthy aspects that I so desperately seek in Italian westerns. It’s difficult to explain, but my absolute favorite westerns (like “And God said to Cain”, “Bandidos”, The Big Gundown”, …) have a few things extra that make them unique. In fact, the greatest spaghetti westerns are the ones that make you want to take a shower immediately after viewing them, simply because you can literally also feel the dirt and sweat on the protagonists’ faces and necks. “10,000 Dollars for a Massacre” didn’t have this effect, but let’s not be too skeptical, as all the mandatory ingredients are nevertheless well represented: an unscrupulous and merciless villain, numerous violent shootouts, blood feuds, hostages buried up to their necks in hot desert sand, and poker games that end with killing the cheater who hid extra cards up his sleeve. Bounty hunter Django goes after the ruthless criminal Manuel Vasquez who kidnapped a rich landowner’s daughter; – initially for the large reward, but naturally the hunt becomes personal when nasty Manual also kills the dame with whom Django was planning to retire in San Francisco. It’s an interesting movie for cult fanatics who are somewhat familiar with the eminent names of the Italian film industry, since “10,000 Dollars for a Massacre” is directed by Romolo Guerrieri, with Sergio Martino as his assistant. Luciano Martino produced and the multi-talented Ernesto Gastaldi is listed as one of the scriptwriters.
