| 3 | ''Winnetou III'' (''The Desperado Trail'') is a part of movie series based on Creator/KarlMay's novels. This part is also known as "[[ItWasHisSled the one in which Winnetou dies]]". A band of crooks tries to foment an Indian war but is foiled by Winnetou and Old Shatterhand, only this time Winnetou tragically is shot dead. Creator/RikBattaglia, the actor who played the villain, got harassed in real life afterwards. Needless to say, it's a massive TearJerker. |

| 6 | * DeathIsDramatic: And so very very sad. |
| 7 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Winnetou keeps saying that he knows he's going to die soon. He keeps hearing the bells from Santa Fe and he knows his death is close. |
| 8 | * MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: One of the plans to kill Winnetou. |
| 9 | * TakingTheBullet: The villain fires at Old Shatterhand who stands up to warn soldiers who are coming to help them fight the bandits -- they don't know they'll get attacked immediately, but Winnetou leaps on the bullet. It's too close to his heart and an Army doctor can't remove it. |
