* TheBadGuyWins: In the end, John kills the Three Bills and Calamity but is required to work for Maria in return.



* BullyingTheDragon: When John and Maria first talk about Calamity and he walks away, one minion aims at John even as Maria discourages him from doing so. Unsurprisingly, John turns back and shoots the man down just in case.



* ItsPersonal: John's goal is assassinating Pecos, Buffalo and Billy, who massacred an entire village while chasing him several years back. Even after hearing Calamity was the one who started the whole mess, John still wants them all dead for killing several civilians at the time.



* OnceMoreWithClarity: A later flashback of the village massacre in Mexico introduces Calamity, the woman who started it by firing a bazooka at the civilians. Originally, John had assumed only the Three Bills were responsible as he remembered Pecos shooting bystanders down with glee.



* TheQuietOne: John, natch. However, he is noticeably quieter and colder than the films as he has yet to meet [[MoralityChain Helen.]]

* SetAMookToKillAMook: John shoots Billy in the arm, causing him to fire by accident and shoot Buffalo in the head. Calamity finds it hilarious and kills Billy for the heck of it before John easily sneaks by and knocks her down.
* SympathyForTheDevil: John hesitates to kill Calamity when he hears she was driven mad from being raised as an animal, but once she rejects his mercy he fires back and puts her down.

* AxCrazy: Calamity is a violent, unhinged PsychopathicManchild that goes out of her way to kill everyone in her path, regardless if she’s being paid to or not and only hesitating if it ruins her sense of fun. By the time we see her in the present day, she’s been in the nuthouse for the past ten years and hasn’t changed a bit.
