10 Happy Movie Endings That Probably Had Horrific Consequences

4. Um, What About All The People That Are Going To Want To Kill Django? - Django Unchained (2012)

url-8 In its most basic form, Django Unchained is the story of a slave who learns to become a uncompromising badass and spends over two hours seeking revenge on those who have wronged him. At the end of Quentin Tarantino's seventh movie, Django returns to Candieland (the estate which belongs to one Calvin Candie, who is already dead) and murders everybody who was even remotely involved in the previous ordeal that left his friend and mentor, Dr. King Schultz, shotgunned to death. And murder them he does. In fact, it's a massacre, and one which absolutely nobody survives. Django, having freed his wife, Broomhilda, then uses dynamite to blow up Candieland, and the pair literally ride off into the sunset. Well, it's nighttime, but you get what we mean. The music swells, Django is a badass, all the rights have been wronged, and we all go home feelin' damn good. But what is Django supposed to do now? He's a free man, sure, but as we witness over the course of the movie, people aren't exactly very accepting of that notion. And though Django made a serious effort to wipe out anybody and everybody who knows what he looks like, there were survivors (not to mention that the LeQuint-Dickey Mining Company are gonna wanna know where their slave has gotten too). Granted, it's only two years 'til the Civil War begins, but two years is a long time to spend trying to keep your freedom and fighting off bounty hunters. What we hope, then, is that Django went north and disappeared or something. But as we've witnessed in many a western, those bounty hunters are a relentless bunch, and Django likely spend much of his time dodging bullets and fighting off assailants. Not that he couldn't handle himself...
