The "spaghetti Westerns" directed by Sergio Leone are not at all like typical Westerns except for the Western-looking setting (and Leone filmed in Spain rather than Death Valley or other American locations). The editing, music, acting style, plot line, and chacterizations have nothing in common with American-made Westerns. I bet you won't find a single sequence in any American Western like this one:
