No. Gił 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 Once Upon a Time in the West [C'era una volta il West] (1968) and followed by Once Upon a Time 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. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
