Line 9 ⟶ 8:
'''Howard:''' Yeah, here in this joint it seems like a lot. But I tell you, if you was to make a real strike, you couldn't be dragged away. Not even the threat of miserable death would keep you from trying to add 10,000 more. Ten, you'd want to get twenty-five; twenty-five you'd want to get fifty; fifty, a hundred. Like roulette. One more turn, you know. Always one more. }}
''[[The Treasure of the Sierra Madre]]'' is a 1948 film directed and written by [[John Huston]], staring his father Walter and [[Humphrey Bogart]], and adapted from a 1927 novel by B. Traven. Father and son both won [[Academy Award|Oscars]] for their achievements in the film, which was also nominated for Best Picture.
A trio of gringos in Mexico; Fred Dobbs, Bob Curtin and Howard the prospector, decide to search for gold in the eponymous mountain range. At first, the adventure seems simple enough; in fact, they even find their gold. What they didn't count on might just be the greatest obstacle of all: themselves.

* [[Bandito]]: The fake Federales who deliver the film's most famous line (the page quote).
Line 33 ⟶ 32:
** The character of Stinky Pete in ''[[Toy Story 2]]'' is a direct parody of Howard.
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Dobbs. Howard {{spoiler|mentions it happening to his comrades before}}.
* [[Shown Their Work]]: The technical aspect of mining is brought out courtesy of Howard's lectures.
* [[Sound-Only Death]]: A few: {{spoiler|gold hat, Dobbs, banditos, Bob(although he doesn't get killed.}}. Justified as it is an old film: they may have been missing special effects, or didn't want to get censured.
* [[Ungrateful Bastard]]: Even getting rescued from a mine collapse and then a Gila monster doesn't make Dobbs any less suspicious of his partners.
