How I imagine the conversation went when people were writing SW scripts:

-What should we name our protagonist/other central character?
-I don’t know. We want an American name for him.
-How about
 Johnny?
-Yes, Johnny! That’s the perfect name!

Johnny Ringo (Ringo and His Golden Pistol), Johnny (Garringo), Johnny Hamilton (Johnny Hamlet), Johnny Ashley (Seven Dollars on the Red), Johnny Dannon (Dead Men Don’t Count), Johnny Yuma
 The list goes on and on

Conclusion: Many SW characters are called Johnny

There is often a duel between two main characters who disliked each other till the end of the movie but it is always interrupted for some reason and they eventually become friends.

And vice versa. :upside_down_face:

When the main protagonist goes to a barber then one or more of the following happens:

1.) The barber or a person who pretends to be a barber wants to kill him
2.) The main protagonist gets shaved but has to aim at the barber with his revolver
3.) The main protagonist does not get shaved
4.) The barber gets shot by the maing protagonist.

Have you noticed that being a barber in a SW is way more risky than being a bartender? :smiley:

I’m sure bartenders wielding a knife close to someone’s throat live a life just as dangerous as barbers. :wink:

The service industries are fraught with danger in the Sw world 
 I bet the barber who curly permed Jack Palance in ‘The Mercenary’ had to die also !!! 
 or the asshole who cut ‘Beauregard Bennett’s’ fringe.

:wink:

New batch. :joy:

  1. Every SW has the worst designed prisons and terrible prison-guards so anyone can easily escape. Every other prison has a window to the street to make it easier to escape.

  2. Towns also have the worst protocols for the executions so anyone can be easily saved already with a rope around his neck and just by a single person.

  3. Once someone shoots during an execution a panic breaks out and everyone forgets there was any execution. Thanks to the panic the prisoner can escape.

  4. Despite having many armed guys around the gallows none of them neither shoot nor ever hit anybody.

Don’t know if it belongs here because I’ve seen it only in two movies, but I’m gonna say it anyway. It’s making me angry :joy:

Every time Franco Nero and Alberto Dell’Acqua play a duo (brothers or friends who seem like brothers), Alberto’s character dies

Everyone has blue eyes and the crew wanted to make sure that the viewer sees this detail by adding lots of zoom-ins of the actors’ eyes :joy:

But these zoom-ins are part of the SW charm. They’re cool :smile:

-There is always an eccentric old man or a drunk who always knows what’s going on in town.

  • Someone calling or screaming bastard to one and another.

  • If Fernando Sancho is cast, you already know what kind of character he is playing. The loud mouthed heavy laughing mexican bandit.

  • During bar fights, the pianist always keep on playing.

In a SW, a character with the name Albert always ends up being a violent psychopath.
