Jimmy > @RT08289453 08/27/2024 Wanted something different and weird. So tired of Willis and Stallone etal. This movie may be a deepest hidden gem out there Enjoy with nature’s herb for the best experience. See more Georgan G @RT98616417 05/11/2024 A strange combo film, English-language Japanese Western. All the cast is Japanese, but speak English. Nothing like the violence in the spaghetti westerns, but plenty of action. See more 09/02/2020 It's a strange choice and a bit jarring to have the characters speak engrish, but I kind of get the creative choice to do it. Regardless, this is one of the best entries in the long line of Django films. It's a self-referential, super stylistic, fun meeting of East vs West. All the homages get me giddy as a schoolboy. After the original this is my go-to. See more 01/23/2020 Difficultly hearing the voices of the characters with the heavy accents but it really doesn't matter as this is a visually stunning film.

He is making a tribute/parody to spaghetti westerns, particularly Django/A Fistful of Dollars, with a lot of references and in-jokes to fans of the genre, but it comes off as self-gratifying and excessive, and seems more like an exercise than a film for general audiences. Miike had something of a Tarantino flair, and Quentin Tarantino makes a cameo in this movie. Tarantino's Django would be a much better film, and more fitting send-up of the Italian predecessors. There are too many characters in Sukiyaki Western Django for any one to shine (although, Masanobu Ando and Kaori Momoi had their moments). For me, the main reason this film didn't work is the strange decision to have all the Japanese actors stumble over English dialogue. This, along with the humor that seems to be trying too hard, makes Django hard to get invested in and to sit through its 98-minute runtime.
