1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5cBsJqJ8GU main theme]], provided by none other than Music/AlanSilvestri.
2* EnsembleDarkHorse:
3** MadeOfIron, BadassNative Spotted Horse is pretty memorable among the second-tier competitors.
4** The helpful blind shoeshine boy.
5* FanPreferredCutContent: The deleted scenes where Cort officiates at Kid and Maddie’s wedding and Dog Kelly and the shoeshine boy get backstories are all pretty well-regarded, and most fans wish they’d stayed in.
6* FridgeHorror: Virgil Sparks' WantedPoster lists rape as one of his crimes. And he's flagged by a GroupieBrigade...
7* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: John Herod, ruthless marauder and gunfighter, sounding like an exasperated father talking to a rebellious teen when he asks the Lady, "Do you have some particular problem with me?"
8* LoveToHate: Herod is a murderous, sadistic tyrant, yet he's also a charismatic badass.
9* MoralEventHorizon: Eugene Dred was a sleazy, scummy {{jerkass}}, but he truly becomes despicable when he molests Katie. This earns him a well-deserved death from Lady.
10* RetroactiveRecognition:
11** Creator/TobinBell is "Dog" Kelly.
12** Scars is played by prolific character actor Creator/MarkBooneJunior, who eventually received mainstream attention as Bobby Elvis in ''Series/SonsOfAnarchy''.
13* TearJerker:
14** When [[spoiler:Sgt. Cantrell]] duels Herod, the Mexican townsfolk, who hired him to kill Herod, watch eagerly and are utterly crestfallen when he fails. This prompts Herod to squeeze more money out of the townspeople.
15** [[spoiler:Kid's death]]. He cries and admits that he doesn't want to die yet, and [[spoiler:sounds like a frightened young boy. He spends his last moments extending his hand towards Herod, begging him to acknowledge him as his son. Made even worse when a clearly shaken Herod refuses to do it till the bitter end, defying his own words by listlessly dropping his hat and gun in the street as he walks away.]]
16* TooCoolToLive: [[spoiler:Sgt. Cantrell and Kid]].
17* VindicatedByHistory: The film was a huge bomb when it first came out in theaters, despite its AllStarCast. However, years later, the film has a dedicated cult following.
