Django 1966
The music score starts with a catchy tune 'Django'. A blue eyed cowboy drags along pulling his coffin through the muddy road.
In next scene, this cowboy (FrancoNero), shoots a gang of Mexicans and a group of cowboys who ungentlemanly shoves around a blonde damsel. The silent cowboy rescues the damsel in distress and heads to town.
A certain Major Jackson who terrorizes the town and has a bone to pick with our hero as the 5 men in the beginning scene were Jackson's henchmen. The Mexicans whom our hero, Django shot, come to town to avenge and take back Maria, the damsel in distress. Django had come to town to kill his wife's killers.
Django, with his secret weapon on the coffin that he drags - an automatic machine gun!, bulldozed the Mexicans. Django has a sad past, his wife had been gunned down during his absence. In the final showdown, Django with his broken hands, managed to gun down Major Jackson and his henchmen all his 6 barrel pistol at the cemetery scene.
This is one classic film in the genre of spaghetti western where the story defies logic but one should just watch for its entertainment value. Do not ask how a cowboy comes in possession of a machine gun which I think was invented in WW2. [Actually, check with Wikipedia reveals that early version of machine guns predates American Civil War, but was too expensive to be used, so it makes sense].
Also don't ask how a cowboy with broken hand can shoot a 6-barreled Smith and Western to finish off easily 10 bandits (or was it just 6?)!
