Purgatory

A 1999 made for TV Western about a ruthless band of outlaws that end up in the town of Refuge. At first it seems to be a bandit's dream come true, where even the Sheriff won't use a gun. Of course nothing is as it seems, and it turns out that Refuge is a last chance town for the marginally good to redeem themselves after they die by living peacefully for ten years.

"Coachman: "The Creator... now He's a hard man, but He ain't blind.""
 * The Atoner: Everyone in Refuge, though Lefty Slade fails.
 * Blasting It Out of Their Hands: Wild Bill Hitchcock can do it while firing one handed.
 * Bolt of Divine Retribution: Special delivery from God.
 * Broken Masquerade: It slowly falls apart due to Sonny recognizing the townspeople.
 * Divine Intervention: Shockingly, God isn't too pleased with Blackjack & Co. screwing around with his town.
 * Fate Worse Than Death: Death is nothing compared to the penalty for violence.
 * Fire and Brimstone Hell: The entrance to Hell is a river of fire.
 * A Form You Are Comfortable With: The Indian and the Coachman are angels.
 * God: Running the whole show.
 * God Is Good: Gives people a second chance and understands the need to defend your home.

"Blackjack: "Your mother's a whore." Wild Bill: "I have no mother.""
 * Hooker with a Heart of Gold: - Dolly Stone, though she says the dime novels exagerate it.
 * Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: People die, but it takes a lot of firing to do it. Except when the plot calls for it, of course.
 * Insult Backfire: At the final shootout.


 * Knife Nut: Betty McCullough, though her victim deserved it.
 * Magical Native American: More specifcially, St. Peter in Indian form.
 * No, that's the Angel of Death. The Coachman is St. Peter.
 * The Masquerade: None of the townspeople will admit to who the were.
 * Martial Pacifist: The entire cast, at first, as fighting is a violation of the rules of Purgatory and will damn them. Particularly noteworthy when Blackjack's hulking deputy tries to push around the unarmed 'pacifist' sheriff in a fistfight, and Bill defeats him by ducking and sidestepping every punch he throws but never actually raises a hand back.
 * Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Lightning hits the knife thrower.
 * Mugging the Monster: No, Blackjack, that's not some pacifist Quaker you're bullying around. That's Wild Bill Hickock. And the men next to him are Jesse James, Billy the Kid, and Doc Holliday. Nice knowing you!
 * Redemption Equals Death: Granted he was never really bad, but did want to join Blackjack's band, knowing fully what they did. Of course, he doesn't have too far to go once he dies.
 * Resigned to the Call: The townspeople decide to take up arms even though (they think) it'll mean going to hell.
 * Retirony: The Sheriff, who is a few days from going home when Blackjack shows up. Inverted in that "retiring" means dying, and subverted in that he.
 * Romantic False Lead: Dolly is set up as the romantic interest for Sonny, especially when she ends up in Refuge, but he ends up with Dolly.
 * Sherlock Scan: Blackjack's initial glib lie that he and his men are a gang of cattle drovers that got lost in a storm doesn't survive Bill's observation that only a few of Blackjack's men actually have lassos slung on their saddles, when a real group of cow herders would of course all be equipped with them.
 * The So-Called Coward: The entire town, who are actually some of the most dangerous people in The Wild West.
 * Villain Protagonist/Decoy Protagonist: Blackjack's gang.
 * The Western: With supernatural elements.
 * When It Rains, It Pours: The only rainstorm in the movie is a massive downpour, though it wasn't natural.
