It’s shorthand in Italy for a double V and essentially means “Viva!”

I’m horrible with all kinds of statistical analisys so non-existent so far i’m afraid

That’s a relief … I’ll bet most UK & Irish residents had their own specific idea of what W stood for ? :wink:

The meaning is Hurrah for Django, Long live Django

From the Treccani vocabulary:
Viva - Esclamazione di approvazione, di acclamazione, di applauso, di esultanza; è per lo più seguita dal nome della persona o della cosa acclamata: viva Garibaldi!; viva l’Italia!;
L’esclamazione è spesso rappresentata, graficamente, con la sigla W: W la libertà!; W la pace
Abbasso - Grido di riprovazione, di ostilità contrario di evviva; nelle scritte murali si indica con una W rovesciata (che può anche rappresentare l’iniziale di morte): ʍ la guerra!; ʍ il dittatore!

I’m seconding @QuickDraw to have Trinity and Sartana in the top spot. I’m also going to throw The Executioner of God in there. There’s a shot that’s just a closeup of a wagon slowly crossing from one side of the screen to the other and I swear it’s just in it to extend the running time.

I must say, I haven’t seen that one, but by now I think I’ve suffered through my fair share of terrible ones, and I don’t think I can take much more of the duds. :wink:

Know what you mean - last year I thought it might be fun to catch on some bottom of the barrel stuff … but it really was excruciating, not so bad it’s good hahaha, just depressingly awful.

Watch one or two of these stinkers and it’s not difficult to see why audiences of the time must have got so fed up being conned into watching this garbage, and the end result, no more European westerns … the cheapskate talentless film makers ruined it for everyone.

Yeah, really well said …they certainly did. You can begin to see where it all went wrong after you’ve watched enough of these lower standard ones.

Though I hated And on the Third Day Arrived the Crow, I didn’t hate Finders Killers. Out of the two made by the director, I thought Finders Killers to be the better-written, more entertaining film. Trinity and Sartana, Those Dirty SOB’s wasn’t that terrible either. It seemed to me like Trinity and Sartana was made with a children’s audience in mind. I can’t recall anyone actually being killed in the movie! Then, there was the silly music and slapstick humor. Not taking it seriously like a genre entry geared towards an adult audience enabled me to appreciate Trinity and Sartana for what it was. Arizona Colt Returns’s plot was incoherent at times, but it otherwise was a predictable SW with the Steffmeister. I will admit that I thought the Arizona Colt Returns theme song was kind of catchy.
