Line 31:
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: The prequel uses all the guns from the first game, including SAA revolvers, which weren't due to be invented for at least another decade after the Civil War.
* [[And Now for Someone Completely Different]]: The original game.
* [[As the Good Book Says...]]: William is fond of citing [[
* [[The Atoner]]: The reason Ray became Reverend Ray.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Ray McCall has this in spades in ''Bound in Blood''. At one point Thomas even remarks that Ray enjoys his work ''way'' too much. Even after renouncing the gun and becoming a preacher, Ray still gives off this vibe in the first game after he starts going on the warpath to avenge Thomas and Marisa.
* [[Badass Preacher]]: Ray can hold [[
* [[Big Bad Duumvirate]]: ''Bound in Blood'' has both Juarez/Juan Mendoza and Colonel Barnesby acting as the main antagonists. ''The Cartel'' has Cartel leader Juan Mendoza and [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] Michael Duke, as well as {{spoiler|Assistant Deputy Director Shane Dickson acting as Mendoza's partner inside the Justice Department}}, and [[Psycho for Hire]] Antonio Alvarez playing all sides against each other for his own advantage.
* [[Big Sister Instinct]]: Kim in ''Cartel'' is very protective of her last surviving younger brother, Deon. Her intro cutscene shows Kim using her authority as an FBI agent to prevent Deon from imprisonment due to a DEA drug sting, and {{spoiler|she asked Ben to jail Deon for public intoxication to prevent him from getting caught in the crossfire of a gang war setup}}.
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]:
** In the extra story on the original Call of Juarez {{spoiler|The unnamed sheriff kills his corrupt boss, County Commissioner Grizzwald, and the bandit, Vasquez, is executed leaving Round Rock in peace... but the whole town saw him gun down Grizzwald and Vasquez was the only person who knew he was corrupt, forcing the sheriff to flee to Mexico, or get hung by the citizens.}}
** The main endings in both games count as this. In the first, {{spoiler|Juarez is killed, Billy and Molly get married, and Billy has finally found the treasure, but Ray dies.}} In the second, {{spoiler|Ray becomes a reverend and marries Thomas and Marisa, but William is dead, Juarez is alive (possibly unknown if you haven't played the original), and then there's the fact this is a [[Doomed
** The "good" ending to ''Cartel'' is also this: {{spoiler|Alvarez testifies to Dickson's involvement with the Cartel, resulting in her being arrested. However, the team wasn't able to prevent Jessica from being killed, and Kim and Eddie both turn out to be dirty and are arrested at the end as well}}.
* [[Black and Grey Morality]]:
Line 92:
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]:
** Reverend Ray is voiced by [[Deep Space Nine|Gul Dukat]].
** And the Apache Chief's son in ''Bound in Blood'' is [[Avatar: The Last Airbender
* [[How We Got Here]]:
** ''Bound in Blood'' begins with the opening scene from the final mission, and the rest of the game is William's narration of how his caring and more-or-less responsible older brothers became brazen murderers ready to kill each other.
Line 119:
* [[Multiple Endings]]: ''Cartel'' has four different endings, though only one of them is "good" and you can only get that one by {{spoiler|choosing not to kill your teammates at the very end}}. Interestingly, the "bad" ending for each character can only be unlocked by getting a high enough Secret Agenda score playing through the entire campaign.
* [[My Greatest Failure]]: In ''Cartel'', {{spoiler|a recording by Patrick Stone reveals that he never forgave himself for not testifying with Ben against Alvarez for the rape and murder of a Vietnamese girl. This would cause Ben to sever ties with Patrick, despite Patrick still thinking of Ben as a friend. In fact, Patrick entrusts his daughter Jessica to Ben because he's the only person Patrick can trust due to Ben's unwavering sense of justice, which makes Jessica's death sting even harder.}}
* [[Never Bring a Knife
* [[Never Found the Body]]: You fight Juarez as a [[Climax Boss]] in the second-to-last level of ''Bound in Blood''. At the end, this trope is invoked so he can return to be the [[Big Bad]] in the original game, twenty years later.
* [[New Old West]]: The setting for ''Cartel''.
Line 130:
* [[Redemption Failure]]: Ray becomes a priest after {{spoiler|killing his brother William}} in ''Bound in Blood''. In the original game, he goes right back to being [[The Gunslinger]] after his ''other'' brother is killed.
* [[Remixed Level]]: In the original game.
* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: Inverted. In the first game, neither Ray nor Juarez act as though they recognize each other, despite the fact that they're meeting under extremely similar circumstances as before, and neither has changed ''that'' much over the past 20 years (Ray is still even wearing his signature armor).
* [[The Remnant]]: In ''Bound in Blood'', Colonel Barnsby and his Confederate remnants are undaunted by the end of the American Civil War, and start up a gun-running operation in the hopes of putting together enough money to finance a second rebellion.
* [[Rollercoaster Mine]]: The original game had some, the prequel doesn't.
Line 161:
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: Juarez makes this offer to {{spoiler|his son}} Billy at the end of the first game. Seeing as how Juarez recently beat him unconcious as well as kidnapped his girlfriend and threatened to rape and kill her, Billy isn't remotely interested.
* [[The Western]]: All of it.
* [[What Happened to
{{reflist}}
