1* AntiClimaxBoss: [[spoiler:Instead of having an epic showdown with William Blake, Cole Wilson arrives in the last few minutes and dies rather quietly, while Blake just watches from afar]]. Most likely a deliberate use of the trope, given the film's love of playing with Western conventions.
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Improvised by Music/NeilYoung while watching the film.
3%%* EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory
4* MoralEventHorizon: Cole Wilson crossed it in his youth when he raped, murdered, and cannibalized his own parents.
5* OneSceneWonder: Pretty much half the cast. Highlights include Creator/CrispinGlover as a creepy train fireman, Creator/RobertMitchum in his last notable role as John Dickinson, Creator/JohnHurt as his secretary, Creator/GabrielByrne as his son and Creator/AlfredMolina as a racist trading post missionary, as well as Creator/BillyBobThornton, Creator/JaredHarris and Music/IggyPop as a trio of deranged hicks.
