This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1968 for the first Japanese theatrical release of Django, Prepare a Coffin, issued locally under the title Minagoroshi no Django (皆殺しのジャンゴ). Directed by Ferdinando Baldi and starring Terence Hill, the film was marketed internationally as Viva Django and positioned as a follow‑up to Sergio Corbucci’s original Django.
Film background
Terence Hill plays Django, a wandering gunman who works as a hangman in order to save the lives of framed prisoners and recruit them into his private army. Using a machine gun hidden in a coffin, he wages a campaign of revenge against the corrupt politician and his henchmen who murdered his wife. The film combines classic spaghetti‑western brutality with a more heroic, action‑adventure flavour befitting Hill’s later screen persona.
Poster design
The Japanese B2 leans fully into vengeance iconography. Under a blood‑red title 「皆殺しのジャンゴ」, a hooded figure stands beneath a gallows at sunset, the noose silhouetted against streaks of cloud and smoke. In the foreground, Hill’s Django crouches with a heavy machine gun jutting towards the viewer, muzzle flashing, while a woman screams beside him. The background is crowded with crosses, horsemen and gunmen in mid‑battle, conveying a chaotic graveyard showdown. Vertical copy on the right proclaims that no extra “machine gun” is needed for revenge, summing up the film’s bloody appeal.
