Burt Reynolds or Franco Nero


I was very impressed by Burt Reynolds performance and felt the film would have suffered it if starred Corbucci's usual leading man, Franco Nero. I'm beginning to think Burt Reynolds would have been great as Django. He really could of been a rival to Clint Eastwood if he had kept working with Corbucci.

I understand that Burt Reynolds didn't get along with Corbucci and has called Navajo Joe the worst experience of his life.

That's the story of his life. He didn't get along with Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie nights) either, and therefore missed a chance to play in Magnolia. Another career mistake, it should have brought him back in the saddle again. But instead he chose for stupid movies that didn't even make the video stores...

Hard to say cause both movies are very good imo.
