''The Magnificent Seven'' is a western retelling (in both senses of the term) of ''[[Seven Samurai|The Seven Samurai]]'' (with a brilliant and memorable [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iteRKvRKFA score], to boot). This film [[Rated "M" for Manly|has so much testosterone that a girl risks getting pregnant just by watching it]]. It is widely considered one of the last great westerns, and was named to the [[National Film Registry]] in 2013.

* [[Accidental Aiming Skills]]: Britt kills a bandit fleeing on horseback with a single rifle shot from a long distance. When Chico praises it as the best shot he's ever seen, Britt replies that it was the ''worst'' - he was aiming for the ''horse''.
