In discussing globalization, various authors refer for different reasons to the category of hybridity and hybridization of culture. Each time it becomes a tool with the use of which they attempt to solve various, at times similar, sometimes disparate problems. Searching for answers to different questions and thus rendering the category of hybridization dissimilar meanings, social scientists engage it into contexts of manifold researches, controversies and debates. At the same time, the said category - when introduced into the realm of disputes over globalization - provokes one to pose further questions and spawns another discussions and controversies. Over the past few years the category of hybridization has become increasingly present in numerous conceptions and discourses on globalisation It has been referred to by various authors, both by the opponents and enthusiasts of globalisation, by those who lay hope in its progression and by those who fear it. In fact, even the hardest critics of certain uses and abuses of the notion of hybridization, can create new meanings and contexts for the use of it.

The goal of the article is to reflect on a selected sample of the films which can be classified as westerns but they put the western mechanisms, conventions, clichés etc. into new unusual contexts. That way the limits of the original genre are exceeded, especially by means of the hybridization moment and the eclectic enhancement, most often by fusion with other genres. The text of the article is dedicated to the fragmentary analytical-interpretative reflection of resource materials which can be given an overall sub-genre or genre-hybrid tag „the weird western“. On the one hand, the concept of the study respects the interpretation of the equivalent English expression „weird western“ as the denomination of the genre combining the western mainly with the supernatural and science fiction elements, on the other hand, it carefully monitors the „weirdness“ as a result of the crossover of the western and genres different from science fiction (horror, musical and comedy etc.).
