* AGoodWayToDie: Discussed; Horne admits that the best death for him would be fighting alongside men he respects.



* VocalDissonance: With a big guy like him, you would expected a deep, gravelly voice. Instead, Horne’s quite soft-spoken and his voice is relatively high.

* HateSink: Unlike the FlatCharacter Bandit Chief in ''Film/SevenSamurai'' (who leads his bandits because [[NotSoDifferent they are also starving]]) and the AffablyEvil Calvera from ''Film/TheMagnificentSeven1960'' who has an AlasPoorVillain moment, Bogue gives the audience ''every'' opportunity to hate him.
