=== This film contains examples of: ===
* [[And Your Little Dog, Too]]: Lampshaded when corrupt town sheriff Cobb indicates to Paden that he'll harm the dwarf female bartender if Paden moves against him, even though Cobb acknowledges she has nothing whatsoever to do with their dispute. He does however know Paden (whom he used to work with when they were robbers) got caught while protecting a wounded dog he'd previously claimed to despise, so figures the threat will make Paden back off. It works at first, but the bartender figures out what's happened and talks Paden into fighting Cobb anyway.
* [[Big Bad Duumvirate]]: Cobb and McKendrick.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Paden has "Bad luck." Mal has "That ain't right."
Line 25:
{{quote| '''Paden:''' They just jumped you out of the blue, huh?<br />
'''Emitt:''' I had to get up anyway. }}
* [[Determined Widow]]: When introduced, she's a [[Determined
* [[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.
* [[
* [[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
** Emmet: [[The Hero]]
** Paden: [[The Lancer]]
Line 72:
* [[Smart People Play Chess]]: Sheriff Langston plays chess with himself, showing that he is intelligent and [[Surrounded By 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 The Mouse?|What Happened To The]] <s> [[What Happened to The Mouse?|Mouse]]</s> [[What Happened to The 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
