TIL the term "Spaghetti Western" refers to Western films made in Europe. It's called such because most of these films were directed by Italians.(en.wikipedia.org)

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.
