Rio Bravo: Difference between revisions

* [[Chekhov's Gun|Chekhov's Wagonload of Dynamite]]

* [[Drowning My Sorrows]]: Dude at the start of the film.

** [[The Hero]]: Sheriff John T. Chance

** [[The Lancer]]: Dude

** [[The Chick]]: Feathers

* [[Grumpy Old Man]]: Stumpy.

* [[The Power of Friendship]]: Becomes especially evident as Chance keeps rolling cigarettes for Dude. This evolved during shooting, when Dean Martin asked how come in some scenes Dude was supposed to be fumble-fingered, yet in others he is shown rolling cigarettes.

* [[Public Humiliation]]: At the beginning of the film Dude is reduced to begging to pay for his drinking. Then comes the painful moment when one of the saloon's patrons throws a coin for him - into a half-full spittoon! Luckily Chance intervenes before Dude actually picks it out. And of course there will be payback later.
