Mexican westerns section?

Notice that Mexico is not included in the country listings on the DB, would it be cool to add a section for Mexican westerns?

Since Iā€™ve been doing all this research on Alberto Mariscal films, I figured I would create film pages for them all. They are basically spaghetties but made in MX. This would end up being the site with most complete information on these westerns :wink:

there are also other mexiwestrns which would be at home in the db, maybe we could even do a special feature page

Cannot see why they should not be included in the database.

The Mexico category should be changed. Itā€™s now under ā€˜locationsā€™, should be in ā€˜countries of productionā€™. Wanted to do this myself, but a little busy. By the way, added http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Su_precioā€¦_unos_dĆ³lares

Favourable vote from my side, but there are 560 westerns with country of origin Mexico, so the selection must be very restrictive: about ten films presented as SWs in Italy (see link*) and in addition only post-Fistful westerns certainly related to the genre, preferably from a very small number of directors (for instance Mariscal, RenĆ© Cardona and RaĆ¹l de Anda).

Mexico category looks like this now:
http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Category:Mexico

Iā€™ve taken the liberty to add:

  • 7 Colt per 7 carogne
  • El diabĆ³lico
  • Su precioā€¦ unos dĆ³lares
  • Una Colt, cinque dollari, una carogna

All of have some spaghetti/Euro connection.

Agree with what JC says about the three directors mentioned. I would also add El Topo, as it is stylistically so related the spaghetti western.

Thanks for getting the ball rolling, Bad Lieutenant

I have added a translated synopsis for Todo por nada.

I have several posters for this film and was going to add them all, but I donā€™t see any options to upload new images unless I totally replace the main poster.

Are certain permissions required to add images? If so, could somebody add them to my account?

Looks like I am also unable to edit the Category page to add any new listings, if I create any

Not sure what you mean, autephex. I always choose ā€˜upload fileā€™ and just upload. If you have a better poster, by all means change it (if youā€™re able to). Donā€™t know if you have admin restrictions or something like that? If so, ask Sebastian. I donā€™t think this is the case, but I canā€™t tell of course.

The French poster you used is actually pretty good. That one, the Italian and Yugoslavian posters are the best

I donā€™t have an upload link anywhere, except for if I click on the main poster. I donā€™t want to replace it though, I just want to add to the images on the Pictures link.

I am for some reason missing a lot of editing options, like I cannot edit new links into the side bar (eg, Forum topic)

I used to be able to do this, but now cannotā€¦ so maybe I have a restriction placed on my account for some reasonā€¦

Screenshot examples of what I see:

Youā€™re not logged in, I think. I get all white background when logged in, instead of the planks.

Those screens are what it looks like when I am logged in. In fact, I donā€™t like logging in because it totally jacks everything up and makes it very hard to navigate.

Seems like something funky is going onā€¦ but it happens no matter which browser I use. Weird

I donā€™t know then. Do know what you mean about ā€˜jacking things upā€™. I always log out to be able to see what a page looks like that I just created/altered. Also the forum link disappears when logged in.

Alright, well no need for me to make this topic about my account problems. Iā€™ll see if I can figure anything out on my end or message Seb about it

Will be pretty limited as to how much I can add into the DB myself until sorted out though

Hereā€™s another Mexican western with Stiglitz simply called ā€œI Violentiā€.

Looks like he was busy with the westerns in the early 70s. Very little info about this one.

With Mario and Fernando Almada, Stiglitz and Jacqueline Voltaire must be a little known Italian release of Los desalmados (1971), directed by RubƩn Galindo.

A faithful translation of the original title would have been better: I senza anima.

Nice poster, Farmer_J, yet another title to look into 8)

Speaking of RubĆ©n Galindo, one of the films that came in these multi-disc sets Iā€™ve bought is Todo el horizonte para morir[/url] (1971). I donā€™t know anything about it yet, but it was directed by RubĆ©n Galindo and stars Fernando Almada & Mario Almada

Mario Almada is in freaking everything

Another one Iā€™ve randomly come across with Stiglitz is [b][url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0353763/]La Muerte De Un Pistolero[url]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0314793/[/url][/b] (1986). Donā€™t know anything about this one yet either, but can get the VHS

359 credits as actor, 247 movies. ;D

Iā€™ll try to find some more Stiglitz westerns. He was definitely a busy boy in the westerns, as Iā€™ve found some dvds on ebay, of modern westerns with him in. Iā€™ll watch for more posters too.

So while browsing the DB, I noticed that Eurowesterns have a little line at the top of their pages saying ā€œThis is a Euro-westernā€ with a little flag

I was thinking maybe do the same for the Mexican westerns, but what should we call them?

Chili-westerns
Tortilla-westerns
Mexi-westerns

These are the three terms Iā€™ve seen used to reference these films

Why not simply Mexican Western? Do these films need a nick-name?
