Loved them as cheesy as some were.

The first Spaghetti Western I ever saw was called FINGER ON THE TRIGGER with Rory Calhoun(1965) filmed in Spain. I knew it was foreign when the Indians had short hair, hair on their chests using Roman era bows and spears.

The "get three coffins ready" vignette is a favorite. The climactic shootout (which was given an homage in "Back to the Future III") is also a fave. The rest of it notsa good. In one of the making of (perhaps an alt audio track on a DVD) Volonte's Marxism was mentioned as the reason his career fell apart. I think it's probably why he was so effective as a bad guy on screen. 😊

Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone...magnifico!

"there are two kinds of people in the world my friend"

yeah, those who made "toxic masculinity" entertaining, and those who make today's "testosterone challenged" dreck

I’ve watch all 3 of the early Clint Eastwood “spaghetti westerns” and have yet to see the bowl of spaghettin in any of them.

Paul Hogan had a comedy TV show years ago. The only skit I remember was a spoof of a Spaghetti Western called “A Fistful of Ravioli,” starring “Clunk Eastman.” LOL.

The 50’s Westerns were some of the best movies made. Real actors and beautiful women who liked being women.

The best Leone spaghetti was One Upon a time in the West.

Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson, Claudia Cardinale, Jason Robards, Jack Elam, Woody Strode, Keenan Wynn

Funny about spaghetti. I heard that in Italy spaghetti is considered one of the side dishes with the entrees. In the US we think the opposite.

I loved the Bud Spencer / Terrance Hill ones.

They played so well off each other.

Just watched Squint Eastwood in A Fistful of Dollars and Unforgiven a couple nights ago.

[RightOnTheBorder]

They were delayed in the US due to a lawsuit with Kurosawa Akira because “Fist-full of Dollars” was a nearly shot for shot adaptation of “Yojimbo.” Both movies are excellent in their own ways.

Excellent timing. Most don’t realize the most famous soundtrack from The Good, Bad and Ugly is titled, “ The Ecstasy of Gold”….

There was a Western TV series that only ran one season. Many of the scripts by Rod Serling. ‘The Loner’. Good show but an all too brief run.

The original three Clint’s spaghetti westerns were great, I still think the non spaghetti The Outlaw Josey Wales was better .
