* BadLiar: [=McCloskey=], who had previously been an employee of Murphy and Dolan before going to work for Tunstall, pipes up out of nowhere when the Regulators have captured a couple of Murphy's men posing a dubious plan to take them to Lincoln, which is the home turf of the corrupt Sheriff Brady, who is an ally of Murphy and participated in killing Tunstall. When Billy presses him [=McCloskey's=] tone and words are very unconvincing and Billy, now convinced that [=McCloskey=] is trying to steer them into an ambush, shoots him. It's never outright confirmed that [=McCloskey=] was a mole, but his tone, dubious plan, and the way he became nervous when Billy started talking about killing Murphy's men and possible attempt to wordlessly signal the captured men all strongly imply that he was not being honest.

* ScreamingWarrior: {{Subverted}}. When the outlaws are seemingly cornered, Chavez appears to launch his horse at a cliff with a battle cry. Inspired by his courage, the other outlaws follow and to everyone's surprise, they make it unscathed. When one of the other outlaws tells Chavez that was awesome and asks what the battle cry means in his native language, Chavez gives him a wry look and says, "Stop!"

Of course, it also seemed like he had to be when the Regulators had riddled it with bullets earlier, only for Roberts to shoot and kill Dick as Dick was checking to MakeSureHesDead. Understandably nobody wants to repeat Dick's mistake of stepping in front of the outhouse door where Roberts could line up a shot on them if he is still alive, so they decide to say "NoOneCouldSurviveThat" and run for it.

* HistoricalRelationshipOverhaul: The subplot regarding Doc Spurlock's budding romance with Yen Sun, a Chinese immigrant who was [[SexSlave forcibly taken as Murphy's mistress]] and later falls in love with Doc (risking her life to stay with him during the ending siege) is completely fabricated for the film, though the situation could be seen as an apocryphal view of the (very real) prostitution of young Chinese girls in the era the film takes place. In real life, Doc was married to a Hispanic woman, Maria (Antonia) Herrera, before the war started, and there is no known historical evidence that Murphy (who, as noted above, was dying of cancer at the time the film takes place) ever had a mistress working for him.

* PrettyLittleHeadshots: When Billy shoots Murphy, we get a twenty-second slow-mo of him flailing then falling, with a tiny bullet hole precisely in the center of his forehead with just a trickle of blood coming from it.
* PriceOnTheirHead: Buckshot Roberts comes to collect the $150 bounty on Billy's head and informs the others that they're only worth $110. Billy's bounty later raises to $200.
* ScreamingWarrior: {{Subverted}}. When the outlaws are seemingly cornered, Chavez appears to launch his horse at a cliff with a battle cry. Inspired by his courage, the other outlaws follow and to everyone's surprise, they make it unscathed. When one of the other outlaws tells Chavez that was awesome and asks what the battle cry means in his native language, Chavez gives him a wry look and says, "Stop!"
* SonOfAWhore: According to Casey Siemaszko, the scene where Charley visits the prostitute was longer and would have ended with him revealing to the others that she is in fact his mother.
