* ExecutiveMeddling: Creator/DreamWorksSKG executives wanted the film to be shot in 3D, but Favreau refused since he wanted to shoot it in film and not be converted into 3D, and compared it to black-and-white films being colorized.

* ExecutiveMeddling: An averted example. Creator/DreamWorksSKG executives wanted the film to be shot in 3D, but Favreau refused since he wanted to shoot it in film and not be converted into 3D, and compared it to black-and-white films being colorized.



* StarDerailingRole: The film did not do any good for actor Creator/NoahRinger as a year before, he starred as Aang in ''Film/TheLastAirbender'', the film adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', which was disowned by longtime fans of the source material and the creators themselves. [[note]] That movie's also a Worst Picture UsefulNotes/GoldenRaspberryAward winner, the biggest career setback M. Night Shyamalan's ever received, a Stillborn movie trilogy, and dealt serious damage to the 3D movie, much to the dismay of the other [=DreamWorks=] run by Jeffrey Katzenberg, who ended their partnership with Paramount the year after ''Cowboys and Aliens'' hit theaters; it also helped ensure Viacom boss Philippe Dauman would exit Viacom on bad terms come 2016. [[/note]] As this film was a flop, he hasn't appeared in a film since.

Added DiffLines:

* SparedByTheCut: Most of the SpearCarrier posse members (mostly Dolarhyde ranch hands) decide to ScrewThisImOuttaHere offscreen after the aliens kill [[spoiler:Meacham]]. In the extended version, an alien attacks their camp and kills them instead.


* CreatorKiller: The film put a nice dent in Creator/JonFavreau's career, but he would redeem himself in the tentpole film industry with the [[Film/TheJungleBook2016 remake]] of Walt Disney's Classic ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967'' in 5 years. In between those two films, he starred in and directed the low-budget ''Film/{{Chef}}'', which was met with a positive reception from critics.
