Most cinephiles probably know that in 2012, Quentin Tarantino released an homage to spaghetti westerns titled "Django Unchained". What people might not have known is that two years earlier, Tarantino had played a supporting role in a Japanese western that also had Django in the title. Takashi Miike's "Sukiyaki uesutan Jango" ("Sukiyaki Western Django" in English) is an homage to spaghetti westerns. As it happens, Sergio Leone's Dollars trilogy was inspired by Akira Kurosawa's "Yojimbo", so things sort of came full circle.
Anyway, the convoluted plot involves a man who happens into a warring town but decides to do things his own way. Surprisingly, the movie is mostly spoken in English; I don't know what was behind that.
This isn't a terrible movie, but I feel like Tarantino's movie was cleverer in its treatment of the genre. This might be something to check out if you have time, but I wouldn't make it my first choice.
