* The Schofield Kid in ''Film/{{Unforgiven}}'' talks himself up to be a tough gunslinger with a big kill count. But in reality, he can't match his boasts, he [[BlindWithoutEm can't see or shoot for shit]], [[spoiler:he has never actually killed a man in his life before, and his first kill (an unarmed man who died [[TheCanKickedHim squatting in the outhouse]], pleading for the Kid not to kill him), the emotionally-crushed boy skips town with his cut of the reward money, swearing to never pick up a gun ever again]]. There's also [[EvilBrit English Bob]], who demonstrates some genuine skill as a marksman and is the subject of {{Dime Novel}}s where he goes by the name "Duke of Death"... but it turns out all of his exploits are ''heavily'' embellished and the man is reduced to a joke by the end of the movie.
