I was wondering if it means something like Death for all on the horizon
Nah, El Topoâs translation looks spot on to me. I think it implies that there is plenty of room for dying. A death more or less wonât matter much.
Well its a pretty open title and very poetic at the same time, I do like it. Maybe All of the horizon to die, be a better translation, but not the one you mentioned Autephex, thatâs an all different thing, In Spanish (or Portunhol as Iâm Portuguese), Death for all on the horizon would go something like Muerte para todos en el horizonte.
Possible meaning: those who live by the gun, can die anywhere ahead of them, I havenât seen the film.
Yeah thatâs what I was thinking after tossing it around in my head for a bit, still a bit non-sensical sounding to american english ears in literal translation, but we arenât a very poetical bunch 
But the more I say it the more I like it

Well speak for yourself 
Iâm a very poetic type of guy, maybe too much. Anyone who likes Once upon a time in west, must have some poetry in him.
Just ordered a dvd for Mariscalâs El Silencioso (1966). Thereâs no info on the DVD listing, only other place I can find it for sale is ebay and there is no info on those listings either. There is one Amazon review saying quality is good, so we will see⌠I donât expect much but am sure it will be better than the poor TV rip I currently have (and seems to be the only other version obtainable)
None of these dvd distributors put anything about Mariscal on the DVD packages, they only list one or two of the star actors⌠incredible⌠no respect
Los Hijos De Satanas looks probably too goofy for my liking, but Iâve only scanned through it and not actually watched. Did find a good sized poster image with press sheet though

not to spoil the party, but shouldnt the mexican westerns bear a note or warning that they arent spaghetti westerns? just like we have a warning on some other movies that we have listed out of compromise but arent westerns either? i mean, in the end mexican westerns dont qualify for either spaghetti western or eurowestern, but we include them why? i am not say we shouldnt, and you already have, but if we do, it needs to have an explanation for outsiders as to why we are doing that or we will start adding US westerns next
Well this has already been discussed earlier in the thread, we just havenât added the note/flag yet. They do list Mexico as country, so assuming people can readâŚ
But technically there are already US westerns in the DB like El Condor.
If you actually watched any of these titles, youâd have no doubt they belong. They are part of the spaghetti genre as much as any non-Italy eurowestern is as far as Iâm concerned⌠its not just any mexican westerns weâre adding afterall, only those modelled after the spaghetti genre. Many were marketed in Italy as spaghettis as the posters show
I am with you on that. So back to my original question> we should probably flag them clearly as what they are, esp. as to signal newbies visiting those pages directlyâŚ
If you want to flag them, why not using the Mexican flag:
Problem is of course that itâs so similar to the Italian flag:
I meant flagging not so much in a literal sense but otherwise making it clear to the visitor that even though he or she might look at a page in the SWDB the western in front of him or her is in fact no a SW
I know, but the use of a Mexican flag or anything else, on top of the page could serve for this purpose.
I will post a little Mexico flag graphic we can use in a few hours, and ill start adding it to the entries also.
Should be the same kind of note as on the eurowestern pages.
Sorry my last reply was a bit dickish, had been up for about 24 hours at that point and not having the best of daysâŚ
Ok, I added the Mexican flag to the DB and was set to start adding it to the entries, but I notice the euro flag has its own specific tag and I am unsure as to how to create a tag like this:
{{Eurowestern}} - this places the Euro flag along with the line of text âThis is a Eurowesternâ with Eurowestern linked to its DB section (Eurowestern - The Spaghetti Western Database)
Hereâs the Mexico flag upload:
And the text could read: âThis is a Mexiwesternâ or âThis is a Mexican Westernâ
We could link either to the Mexico category page[/url] or we could create another page like the Eurowestern one explaining the difference between an Italian spaghetti and these Mexican westerns, could read something like:
Westerns made in Mexico which were heavily influenced by Spaghetti Westerns. Many times these films were marketed as actual Spaghetti Westerns with Italian dubs and soundtracks, and also promotional material such as posters modeled after the genre. While these are not technically âSpaghetti Westernsâ since they were not made in Italy or affiliated with Italian productions, they are very similar stylistically, sharing in the same elements which make up the Spaghetti Western genre.
Also see our [url=http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Category:Mexico]Mexican Western[url]http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Category:Mexico[/url] category
Looks all alright to me
The category link should be like this, I guess (at the bottom of the page):
[[Category: Mexico]]
Iâd prefer the line âThis is a Mexican westernâ to âThis is a Mexi-westernâ
Edit:
I added the category link to my review, it works:
http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Las_Viboras_cambian_de_Piel_/_Guns_%26_Guts_Review
Yea the category links work fine, Iâve been using them for country and directors
What Iâm not sure about is the link that is placed like this: {{Eurowestern}}
This inserts both the euro flag and the line of text including link to the eurowestern definition
Canât you just insert a small bar above the poster, saying âThis is a Mexican Westernâ ?
Edit:
Have a look at the review (just a test):
http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Las_Viboras_cambian_de_Piel_/_Guns_%26_Guts_Review
Yes, that works indeed. I just thought it would be nice to have the simple tag for the Mexico entries like the Euro entries have, so its easy to add the tag when needed.
For example, take a look at this DB page:
http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Ă_la_manière_de_Zorro
At the top, it displays this line:
This is a Eurowestern[url]http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Eurowestern[/url]
If you take a look at the editing screen for this entry, at the top you will see â{{Eurowestern}}â
http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php?title=Ă_la_manière_de_Zorro&action=edit§ion=0
This {{Eurowestern}} tag inserts the needed flag/text⌠its not required, but would make it very easy to add the flag to all already created database entries and future ones if we could just do {{Mexicowestern}}
I can figure out how to make it, I just dont know if my account has the needed permissions since thereâs a lot of editing stuff I canât do for some reason
