5 years ago, Django (Terence Hill) was the bodyguard of politician David (Horst Frank) - but he gave it all up to live on a farm out west with his wife and kid, and to afford that, he agrees to ship some gold across the country with his treck - but then his treck is attacked by a gang of outlaws, and his family is killed and he's gravely injured.

5 years later, Django works as a hangman, first and foremost responsible for the execution of those who have been found guilty of raiding gold shipments. These culprits all have one thing in common though, they seem to have been set up, and no matter how many are killed, this won't stop the raids. Django smells something fishy, which is why he only fakes the hangings to in the night cut down his very much alive "victims" and bring them to a safe haven. His plan is to run a gang of his own to hunt down the gold raiders to clear all the "hanged men"'s names and have his revenge at the same time. He already knows who's the culprit, a certain Lucas (George Eastman), and is sure to confront his men with those they think hanged in their steads will smoke him out. But then Django goes on a mission to save one of his men, Garcia's (José Torres), wife (Barbara Simon), and exactly this man turns on him in his absence, persuades the others to raid the next gold transport on their own then make off over the border - and once that's succeeded, he kills his entire gang. Meanwhile, Django's not much luckier on his mission: Sure, he saves the woman, but then walks into a trap set up by Lucas - and once in Lucas' power he learns that the man behind the raids is actually his old friend, politician David. And the only reason he hasn't been killed yet is because Garcia and company have raided the gold transport before Lucas and his men could, and now they want the gold. Sure, Django is freed by Garcia's wife, but it seems if he still wants revenge, he has the whole world against him, and if he runs, at least half the world will come after him ...

 

Now despite Terence Hill actually bearing the name Django in this movie's original Italian language version, and despite a machinegun in a coffin in the finale, this is not an actual sequel to Sergio Corbucci's Django, and it certainly doesn't live up to that movie in terms of quality and originality - but taken by its own terms, Django, Prepare a Coffin is a pretty decent spaghetti western of the vendetta variety that might not tell the most original story per se but manages to throw some really nice and inventive twists and details into the mix that keep the audience on the edge of their seats rather than having them lean back with a "seen it better elsewhere"-feeling. And of course, a solid cast, a very cool score and impressive camerawork really help turning this one into a pretty awesome genre entry.
