The film isn’t actually a remake of Django. Tarantino wrote an original story, but the movie deliberately pays homage to Sergio Corbucci’s 1966 spaghetti Western Django. Original Django star Franco Nero appears in a cameo, creating one of the film’s most clever connections to the earlier movie.
The title itself is a layered reference. It evokes Corbucci’s Django, while the “Unchained” portion recalls titles such as Hercules Unchained and Angel Unchained.
Tarantino deliberately borrowed from classic Western cinema. The snowy middle section was influenced by Sergio Corbucci’s 1968 film The Great Silence, while Dr. King Schultz’s German Western persona was influenced by the Karl May stories and films featuring the legendary character Old Shatterhand.
