Kind of bummed out about Django being Region A only. What's up with that?

Strange, isn't it? To the best of my knowledge it's the first Blue Underground title to be region locked.

Django is one of the very best spaghetti westerns, especially in its Italian audio. It moves at a fast pace, has great violent set pieces, and has no clear heroic "right" side when looking at the Mexican/American conflict.

Please let me know how the Blu-Ray looks.

I was pleased to see DTS-HD mono tracks for both Italian and English when I looked at the back of the case. Of course, there are no surround sound remixes, but still cool to see on a BU BD title.

Christopher:

Agreed - the lossless mono, in both languages no less, is extremely welcome. Blue Underground deserve a huge round of applause for actually listening to purists' complaints about their early, remix-only, BD releases.
