    If I remember correctly it was supposed to be a little bit of an insult.

      Hardly. Sergio Leone reinvigorated the Western genre. Compare A Fistful of Dollars by Sergio Leone to The Quick Gun or Bullet for a Bad Man both by R.G. Springsteen and released the same year. There is simply no comparison in terms of style or pacing. Wife wants to go to dinner so I might add some later.

      Edited for spelling.

        You’re not wrong but you fail to understand the insulting nature of reducing a nationality to its favourite dish, burger boy.

          Eastman Color for the win! I hadn’t heard that before. I thought the term was strictly descriptive because the creative teams were mostly Italian/Spanish. Filming locations were in Italy and Spain as well.
