Down with Your Hands... You Scum!

About This Movie

Down with Your Hands... You Scum! is an intriguing specimen in the spaghetti western genre. Directed by the elusive Demofilo Fidani, under the alias 'Lucky Dickerson', the film feels like a collage, pieced together from earlier works. The pacing is uneven, but that almost adds to its charm; it’s like a cinematic scrapbook. Hunt Powers as Django narrates his exploits with a blend of bravado and weariness, capturing that classic gunslinger vibe. The practical effects might not be groundbreaking, but there's an earnestness to them. What truly sets this film apart is its audacious recycling of footage, making it a curious artifact of its time that invites discussions on creativity in cinema.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, often overshadowed by more prominent titles in the genre. Its rarity makes it a worthwhile find for collectors, especially those interested in Fidani's lesser-known works. Recent bootlegs and limited edition releases have sparked renewed interest, but authentic prints remain scarce, elevating its status among enthusiasts of obscure spaghetti westerns.
