''Silverado'' is a [[Reconstruction]] of a [[The Western|Western]] film genre. Released in the theaters July 1985, it starred many well-known (or soon to be well-known) actors, including Kevin Kline, Danny Glover, Scott Glenn, Kevin Costner, Jeff Goldblum, Brian Dennehey and John Cleese.
Line 28:
* [[The Drifter]]: Paden
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: McKendrick won't let one of his men kill a boy, even though the boy saw their faces. They opt to kidnap him instead.
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Cows]]: Yep, nothing like a stampede to disrupt the bad guys while you move in for the kill.
* [[Exactly What I Aimed At]]: As a posse is chasing the leads into some hills, several warning shots come from Danny Glover's character, who is hiding somewhere out of sight. As his shots ricochet off nearby rocks and cacti, a deputy says: "Let's go, he ain't hittin' nothin'". This prompts the sheriff, played brilliantly by [[John Cleese (Creator)|John Cleese]], to retort: "You idiot, he's hit everything he's aimed at". [cue the sheriff's hat getting knocked off by the next shot].
* [[Five-Man Band]]:
** Emmet: [[The Hero]]
Line 69:
* [[The Sheriff]]: Langston as the honest variety, Cobb as the [[Corrupt Hick]] variety.
* [[Showdown At High Noon]]: Cobb and Paden, although the time of day is never mentioned.
* [[Stock British Characters]]: [[John Cleese (Creator)|John Cleese]] plays a British Bobby Sheriff in a small frontier town.
* [[Smart People Play Chess]]: Sheriff Langston plays chess with himself, showing that he is intelligent and [[Surrounded Byby Idiots]]. He plays with a deputy sitting across the board from him, but turns the board around after each move to play both sides.
* [[Smug Snake]]: "Slick," played by Jeff Goldblum.
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?|What Happened To The]] <s> [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?|Mouse]]</s> [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?|Dog]]? Paden is asked repeatedly by his old riding buddies what became of the injured dog that drove him out of banditry. When Stella asks, he says simply, "She left me," jokingly making it sound like the end of a romance, and continuing to evade the question.
* [[The Wild West]]: A reconstruction of classic frontier America during the Wild West era.
* [[Young Gun]]: Jake
