* [[Nobody Here but Us Statues]]: Loveless' [[Mooks]] hiding in the paintings.

* [[Trigger Happy]]: Jim West.

** Actually [[Lampshaded]] by the President: "And you, West. Not every situation calls for your patented approach of shoot first, shoot later, shoot some more, and then when everybody's dead try to ask a question or two."

* [[Ulysses S Grant]]: The president in charge. Artemus disguises himself as Grant twice.

** Ironically, according to some historians, this film is actually one of the more dignified portrays of Grant on film, showing him as a tough, calm, and collected leader as he was in [[Real Life]]. Most film portrayals have either exacerbated his reputation for drunkenness or have thrown Grant into the background.

* [[US Marshal]]: Artemus Gordon. Also {{spoiler|Coleman, the train's engineer}}.

* [[Villain Opening Scene]]: It starts with Colonel MacGrath and the death of a scientist.
