I don't know about yours? But in my copy the dialogues often switch from English to Italian and vice versa.
Was it the way it was shot? can someone explain to me please?

I think it's because the english dubbed version was much shorter than the italien dubbed version.

Sounds like you have the "Franco Cleef" version. It switches to Italian at times to fill in the gaps of the English dub.

However, in regards to how it was filmed, a handful of the cast (mainly Lee van Cleef and Walter Barnes) spoke English, while the majority (Tomas Milian and others) spoke Italian. It would later be dubbed into the individual languages.

Milian spoke perfect english but for some reason or other his voice wasn't used in the english dub.

I've just watched the Yiddish-language version- absolutely hilarious.
