Django aka Ciakmull in the original (played by Leonard Mann) escapes from a lunatic asylum where he stayed because he had lost his memory. He does not even remember who his father is. Thus handicapped, it takes him quite some time until he realizes who the bad guys are that he must fight. Unfortunately, the happy music by Riz Ortolani is totally out of place for a darker type of western, the story gives away too much too early and the action is sometimes poorly directed. Example: the torture scene with Woody Strode. Never seen somebody starting to talk so quickly! But this was the debut of director Enzo Barboni who went on to much better things! And I don't want to say "Ciakmull" is a bad movie - it is simply a bit disappointing that it achieved only 80 per cent of what it could have.
