History Film / TheMagnificentSeven2016

* Vasquez (Creator/ManuelGarciaRulfo), a LeanAndMean Mexican {{Bandito}} with a [[PriceOnTheirHead bounty]] on his head, no respect for anyone, but a good heart nonetheless.

!! This film contains examples of:

-> ''"Whatever they were in life, here, at the end, each man stood with courage and honor. They fought for the ones who couldn't fight for themselves, and the died for them, too. All to win something that didn't belong to them. It was... magnificent."''

* PriceOnTheirHead: Vasquez has a massive bounty on his head, and part of his reasoning for joining is getting enough money to misplace the bounty hunters.

** ColdSniper (of the [[ArcherArchetype Archer]] variety) - Red Harvest, though he does carry a gun on him, his bow is his primary weapon.

* Red Harvest (Martin Sensmeier), a [[BadassNative Comanche warrior]] a thousand miles from home who helps the group out of goodness. He carries a gun, but prefers to use a [[TheArcher bow and arrow]] for stealth.

** Horne, a pious MountainMan, has some similarities to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porter_Rockwell Orrin Porter Rockwell]]. Or, more likely, he's based on Josiah Sanchez, the eccentric preacher from the short-lived Magnificent Seven TV series. He also seems to be based on the real life Liver Eating Johnson, who was also known as "Crow Killer."

* CoolGuns: Several, it's a western after all. Chisolm in particular has a chrome revolver that gets a lot of attention, and Faraday has named and is highly protective of his.

** Goodnight showed shades of this when Faraday pushes him too far by bragging about his sharpshooting during the training sequence, becoming an utterly terrifying drill sergeant, cutting to Faraday giving an {{OhCrap}} expression.

** The gold mine as a motivation for the whole thing is nowhere to be seen in 1960 film… except when Chris lied Harry that sacks of gold were the real motivation for the fight.

** Faraday offers to teach one of the settlers about gunfighting, starting with having him [[WhenYouSnatchThePebble grab the playing card from Faraday's hand]]. After several failed attempts, Faraday draws his gun on the settler, telling him the point of the lesson: It was ''never'' about the cards. Many of their tactics in the final battle involve misdirection and luring their enemies into traps, [[spoiler:and Faraday tricks the bad guys at the Gatling gun into letting him light off a stick of dynamite by making a show of trying to [[OneLastSmoke light his last cigar]], his deck of cards [[ForeShadowing prominently shown]] immediately beforehand.]]

** Chisolm, whose counterparts are [[Film/TheMagnificentSeven Chris]] and [[Film/SevenSamurai Kambei]], is likely based off of real-life lawman [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_Reeves Bass Reeves]], right down to the mustache.
** Horne, a pious MountainMan, has some similarities to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porter_Rockwell Orrin Porter Rockwell]]. Or, more likely, he's based off Josiah Sanchez, the eccentric preacher from the short-lived Magnificent Seven TV series. He also seems to be based off of the real life Liver Eating Johnson, who was also known as "Crow Killer."

* ManOnFire: Happens to one of Bogue's {{Mooks}} during the FinalBattle.

--> '''Bogue''': [[Film/TheMagnificentSeven If God didn't want them sheared, He would not have made them sheep]].

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Calvera from the original was an AffablyEvil bandito who's friendly towards the Seven when he isn't kicking their asses. Bogue, on the other hand, is a sinister robber baron who doesn't even ''[[FauxAffablyEvil pretend]]'' to be friendly at all. There's also the added contrast that Calvera was a regular (if rather sharp) bandito, while Bogue is a tyrannical tycoon, putting them at opposite ends of the social scale.

* SuicideAttack: [[Farrady does this: using a stick of dynamite to blow himself up, but destroying the enemy Gatling gun in the process.]]

* BreakingPointSwearing: Mixed with ForeignCussWord. When Faraday gets shot in the side, Vasquez goes berserk and shoots the culprit multiple times while saying [[spoiler:'A chingar a tu madre cabrón']] which literally means [[spoiler:'Go fuck your mother asshole']].

* ImpaledPalm: [[spoiler:When Denali shoots Jack Horne, the last arrow goes through his hand.]]

* TrainingThePeacefulVillagers: The Seven do their best to get the townsfolk ready for the final battle, but they don’t have much to work with in the way of talent, with the exception of Emma. Still, the locals put a fair amount of holes in Bogue's army during the final battle.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The town is saved and Bogue and all his men are dead. But four of the Seven are dead, along with a significant portion of the townsfolk. And the town is in ruins. Hopefully, they’ll help themselves to Bogue’s gold in order to rebuild it.]]

* BlingBlingBang: Chisolm uses a nickel-plated Colt Single Action Army revolver with a 5.5 inch barrel, known as the "Artillery" model. Vasquez wields two.

* LetsSplitUpGang: Used early in the film. When Chisolm and Faraday start recruiting with Emma and Teddy, they decide to split up to cover more ground Chisolm and Emma go to find Vasquez while Faraday and Teddy recruit Goodnight and Billy
