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)

A lot of the actors are very obviously dubbed to English in most of them.

There was no audio recorded on set at all. Everyone could just speak their native language, and everything was done in post production.

I think the original idea was so they could dub it into as many languages as possible and make the most money, but because Clint Eastwood became a big star we all assume they were made in English first.
