I've watched the scene many times. The things you mentioned- close ups, itchy trigger fingers, are all trademarks of the western genre, and cannot be attriubuted to that film alone. Besides the music I guess another similarity would be the number of people involved, but even then it's stretching it a bit. This is one gunslinger versus two bandits, with two opposite sides. In tGtBatU it's 1v1v1.

I guess the original concept was inspired by the great spaghetti westerns, but it sort of turned out more like Bonanza. Like I said it didn't start as a parody.

Edit- I removed that description in case people get the same wrong idea.
