Django (1966)
Directed by Sergio Corbucci, Django follows a lone gunslinger dragging a coffin into a town torn between warring factions. The film combines stark violence, political undertones, and bleak visual style, helping define the Spaghetti Western’s darker, more anarchic strain. Its imagery, antihero focus, and atmospheric grit cemented Django as one of the genre’s most influential figures.

A Bullet for the General (1967)
Directed by Damiano Damiani, A Bullet for the General is set during the Mexican Revolution and follows a young American who infiltrates a rebel group while hiding his true motives. The film blends political commentary with genre action, examining betrayal, ideology, and the moral ambiguity of revolutionary struggle. Its fusion of Spaghetti Western style and overt political critique marked it as a key work of the “Zapata Western” cycle.

Keoma (1976)
Keoma, directed by Enzo G. Castellari, follows a half-Native American gunfighter returning to a plague-stricken frontier town controlled by a brutal gang. Mixing mythic imagery, existential introspection, and stylized action, the film represents a late-period evolution of the Spaghetti Western. Its fragmented tone and operatic framing give it a unique place within the genre’s final wave.

Three seminal Spaghetti Westerns in one definitive Boxset, all restored and first time together on Blu-ray

DJANGO
One of the greatest and most influential Spaghetti Westerns ever, Sergio Corbucci’s iconic masterpiece is revered by film critics and fans – none more so than Quentin Tarantino who declares the deep influence that Corbucci had on all his films, as epitomised by his ‘Django Unchained’.

Banned for decades, Corbucci’s ground-breaking ultra-violent western stars the legendary Franco Nero as Django, the mysterious lone gunslinger who – dragging a coffin behind him – arrives in a bleak, mud-drenched town where he’ll face two gangs of sadistic evil killers. Presented complete and uncut, from new 4K-restored elements – pristinely faithful to the original film vision. 

KEOMA, THE VIOLENT BREED
Acknowledged as the genre swansong, this late Western masterpiece is directed by Enzo G. Castellari whom Tarantino calls ‘his maestro’ (having remade Castellarri’s ‘Inglorious Bastards’) and regards as a ‘cinematic icon’. Screen-legend Franco Nero reprises his relentless deadly gunslinger persona, now as the eponymous Keoma who, returning to his hometown, finds that it is now ruled by a gang of sadistic killers. Aided by an old friend (a superb Woody Strode), Keoma fights the ruthless bunch to the bitter, last-man-standing, end. This gritty no-holds-barred western is presented from 2K-restored vault materials, showcasing its iconic set-pieces and its striking action-cinematography as never before.

 A BULLET FOR THE GENERAL aka QUIEN SABE?
A covert US assassin is sent to kill a General who is one of the leaders of the Mexican Revolution. He infiltrates a gang of guerrillas led by the charismatic El Chuncho (Gian Maria Volonté of the ‘Dollars films’) with his lieutenants, the crazed priest (Klaus Kinski), and the beautiful Adelita (007’s Martine Beswick). As the rebels go on a rampage stealing weapons, they unwittingly lead the assassin to the General. And the US agent has a bullet for him!

‘A BULLET FOR THE GENERAL‘ established the politically-imbued ‘Zapata-Western’ genre; it is finally presented in superb high definition finally doing justice to its lavish widescreen cinematography and it is further elevated by the exuberant music from Oscar® Winner Ennio Morricone.

Quoting Tarantino, whose encyclopaedic admiration and devotion to spaghetti westerns provides the curating thread of this box-set: “’A Bullet For The General’ is one of the greatest Spaghetti Westerns ever made. I just love that movie”.
