4----
5!!This short contains examples of:
6
7* AssholeVictim: Red Doc, the quarry Jonah was initially after, shot a dog for barking at him, openly bragged about his skills, and flat-out told the bartender to his face that he didn't like him.
8* BewareTheNiceOnes: That nervous bartender pulls out a shotgun to blast at Hex after he takes out Lorraine's men, indicating that he was actually in cahoots with her.
9* BigBad: Madame Lorraine, a prostitute who's also a SerialKiller.
10* BountyHunter: Jonah Hex, as always. Just so happens that Madam Lorraine killed his latest quarry before he could get to him.
11* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Lorraine seems to take every opportunity to use her sweet side just to try to kill Jonah. In one instance, she even literally tries to stab him in the back.
12* CombatPragmatist: Being a very rough BountyHunter, Jonah Hex doesn't play fair and will use any and all advantages he gets in a fight to win.
13* DeadpanSnarker: Jonah has his dry wit as per usual.
14* FacialHorror: Jonah as per usual with the right side of his absolutely disfigured. Lorraine's burlier mook getting a case of his own when he trips
15* FamedInStory: Jonah is immediately recognized as he rides into town.
16* {{Fanservice}}: Hookers in skimpy clothing abound.
17* TheGunfighterWannabe: The kid who recognizes Jonah tries to brag of his feats, but Jonah just says "Who gives a damn?". This ticks the kid off, who tries to draw his gun but gets knocked out in one punch.
18* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: The Saloon Girl who informs Jonah Hex. She's also an example of HairOfGoldHeartOfGold, since she's also got blonde hair (in contrast to Madame Lorraine, who's a brunette).
19* HoistByHisOwnPetard: One of Lorraine's mooks carries an axe when trying to kill Jonah, he doesn't get much use out of it, unlike Jonah whom uses the other end of the axe to smack him on the head several times.
20* IcyBlueEyes: Lorraine has cold light blue eyes and is also a SerialKiller.
21* KavorkaMan: The Saloon Girl is in no way disturbed by Hex's partially mutilated face, even giving a friendly peck on the cheek to thank him for his help. Jonah in turn smiles proudly, clearly aware how much he embodies this trope.
22* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: They don't interact but the Saloon Girl and Madame Lorraine. They are also ColorCodedForYourConvenience with the blonde Saloon Girl wearing [[HeavenlyBlue light blue]] and the brunette Lorraine wearing [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red and black.]]
23* ReadyForLovemaking: Madam Lorraine adopts this pose while attempting to seduce Jonah (so she can kill him).
24* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Madame Lorraine's color scheme mostly consists of shades of red with a lot of black.
25* SignatureHeadgear: As always, Jonah Hex sports his trademark cowboy hat. He even [[WeaponizedHeadgear weaponizes]] it against Lorraine when she tries to murder him, throwing it to knock her gun away when she was about to shoot him.
26* SuicidalOverconfidence: Trying to kill your enemy at every opportunity? Not entirely smart, but understandable. Trying to kill him [[spoiler:while in a small enclosed space that he could easily leave you in if he so chose]]? Not so much.
27* TwoShotsFromBehindTheBar: The bartender pulls out a lever-action shotgun when Jonah kicks one of Lorraine's mooks out of the room.
28* TheVamp: Madame Lorraine, she uses her seductive good looks to catch the eye of men and kill them when given the chance.
29* WeaponizedHeadgear: A mild case where Jonah uses his cowboy hat to throw off Lorraine's aim when she tries to kill him.
30* WouldHitAGirl: Jonah with Madame Lorraine. Considering she's a murderer who uses her feminine wiles to her advantage (i.e. distract men so she can kill them), this is understandable.
31-->'''Madame Lorraine''': [[VillainsWantMercy You wouldn't hit a lady?]]\
32'''Jonah Hex''': You ain't no lady. *SMACK!*
33** Later:
34-->'''Madame Lorraine''': You hit me!\
35'''Jonah Hex''': [[DeadpanSnarker Hard as I could]].
