1* CompleteMonster: The [[NoNameGiven nameless]] Colonel is a vicious warlord who preys on isolated towns. A SerialRapist who fancies women with healthy teeth, Lynne's flashback shows the Colonel selecting her, shooting her when she splashed his face with hot grease, and killing her parents and young brother. In the present, the now [[GoodScarsEvilScars hideously-disfigured]] Colonel continues his activities. He tortures a clown by having objects put on his head and having his men shoot at them; drags the town drunk through town on a horse with a rope around his neck; and selects a woman for his pleasure. When the woman's husband protests, the Colonel guns them both down and selects their daughters. When the Lynne attempts to kill him, the Colonel tries again to rape her then escapes by tricking her into killing one of his own men. The Colonel later returns with an army to wipe out the entire town, and when he's cornered by [[TheHero Yang]], he attempts to [[WouldHurtAChild murder an infant]].
2* ParanoiaFuel: Enemy ninjas pop out of everywhere, such as a river, a field of snow, out of the floorboards, and ''dropping out of the sky.''
3* QuestionableCasting:
4** Creator/GeoffreyRush as some drunken cowboy?
5** For Asian audiences, Creator/TiLung, one of the few Hongkong actors to ''share'' top billing with Creator/ChowYunFat.
6* StrangledByTheRedString: Yang and Lynne, especially when the former doesn't seem to visibly share any feelings due to being TheStoic showing DullSurprise at almost anything.
7* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: There was so much potential to have a story where Yang raises a child of an enemy clan, always on the run, in the Old West of all places, but instead they focused on Lynne's less-interesting revenge story with a romance on the side and a fight between [[CoolVersusAwesome Cowboys and Ninja]] tacked on at the end.
