Spaghetti Imitations (USA/UK spaghettiesque western)

As it has Italian money involved it is considered a spaghetti western:

Yes, Bini’s Finarco

As far as I remember A Man Called Noon, there was not much SW stuff in it.
At least so far I never viewed it as a SW. Which actually would be better for the sub-genre, I think I gave it a very low rating cause it was a total mess.

Involvement of Italians and Italian money :slight_smile: as far as stuff goes. But yeah stylistically it doesn’t give off much of an Italian vibe

Yes, l read it, but with a British director and British producers and the lack of SW style it is for me not a Spag, just like some of the German Winnetous, those which also had some Italian money in them.
The forum thread is btw in the section Eurowestern and hybrids, and there we find this:

I agree with that, but of course it’s no problem for me if others view it as Spag., and I / we accepted it (so far) for the top 20 voting. What we did not for German westerns.

Good points. I think we’ll never get to a 100 fool proof delineation though, and I see no reason to be super strict, all things are fluid. Be water, my friends

I was looking for a forum post for Pancho Villa, but there isn’t one. This British/Spanish western is very silly and full of hammy acting, but quite amusing if you like this sort of thing. Apparently, Savalas and Walker did not get along, but still make a good pairing. The scene with Connors and the fly is quite funny.
