* An awesome moment goes to Rathbone in the last fight where he proves why he has the title of "Finest Swordsman of England". He ''completely dominates'' the fight from start to end and Chon only wins because he's ballsy enough to TakeAThirdOption.

* Despite their ignorance, the willingness of Jedadiah and his pioneer family to help the Imperial Guards, (Be they [[ BaitAndSwitchComment"Injuns", Jews, or whatever ]]) is kinda impressive for the time. As is their attempt to meet them halfway when it comes to culture, as shown with the'shalom'. Considering the language barrier, and the fact that moving all your stuff in a covered wagon is already tough, exhausting, and dangerous, it was awfully nice of them to help out.

** Arguably made even more awesome in that this was the first time we see Roy actually hit what he's aiming at. Every shot in the movie before then didn't even come close.
