Django was a successful and highly influential "spaghetti western," spawning over 30 pseudo-sequels that borrowed the name and the main character's bloodthirsty ways, but Django 2: Il Grande Ritorno (aka Django Strikes Again) was the first follow-up to feature Franco Nero reprising the title role from the original film, and the only one made with the participation of the director of Django, Sergio Corbucci (though only in an advisory capacity.) In this story, Django (Franco Nero) has spent a decade in a monastery, trying to live down his violent past as a gunman. However, Django is forced to renounce his vows when word gets back to him that a villainous slave trader, Orlowsky (Christopher Connelly), has kidnapped his daughter. Enraged and determined to bring the abductors to justice, Django digs up his old Gatling gun (literally - he had buried it in a graveyard, under a headstone with the name "Django" on it) and once again begins cutting a swath through the countryside as he seeks to free his daughter. Django 2: Il Grande Ritorno also starred Donald Pleasence, William Berger and Robert Posse; some prints are missing a five minute prologue sequence.
@spudsydog Yes I agree with you 100% , but everywhere I read about Django Unchained film they refer it to as a Spaghetti Western - and we know how much Tarantino loves Spaghetti Westerns...

@screenjunky I thought the qualification for a "Spaghetti Western" was that it was a movie about the American Old West either filmed in Italy, or filmed using largely Italian talent-- like "Django Strikes Again," here was filmed in Columbia, but almost everyone in it is from Italy, making it a "Spaghetti" Western... I don't know, maybe I've got my facts crossed but I thought that was what separated traditional Westerns like "The Magnificent Seven" from "Spaghetti Westerns" like "Django."

@spudsydog well im not sure if its actually filmed in Italy, but I'm sure it will fall under the spaghetti western genre

@screenjunky "Django Unchained" is being filmed in Italy? I guess there are new Spaghetti Westerns, after all.

@spudsydog hopefully not....Quentin Taratino's Django Unchained is in the making!
