Commonly used plot devices

Great! I forgot all about those three!

Right!

Cheyenne in Once upon a time in the west

Cameron Mitchell in Minnesota Clay
Vassili Karis in And His Name Was Holy Ghost
Anthony Steffen in Garringo
and, on the comedy side, Harry Baird in Trinity and Sartana… Those Dirty S.O.B.s

Man, forgot about Steffen being in jail in Garringo. And a bit honestly haven’t traversed too deeply into the comedy-westerns. Thanks!

Not to forget Gypsy Boots in El Puro.

Kill Them All and Come Back Alone … the magnificent 6 all do time in a prison camp, before eventually dying or escaping.

Right! Thank you!

Another one is Quel caldo maledetto giorno di fuoco a.k.a. Gatling Gun.
