Giù la testa [English: A Fistful of Dynamite] (1971) is a spaghetti western based on a screenplay by Italian film director Sergio Leone and screenwriter Sergio Donati. It is the second part of a Sergio Leone trilogy, preceded by C'era una volta il West (1968) (Once Upon a Time in the West) and followed by C'era una volta in America (1984).
"Spaghetti western" is a term applied to various low-budget Old American West films made by a European, especially an Italian, film company.
The flashback right before John's death was completely missing in most European versions but some of it, until right before the kiss, was still in the first US version. In the new DVD releases the scene is now complete, making it the version Leone preferred.
