History VideoGame / RedDeadRevolver

** There's also Pig Josh who really lives up to his name, and his henchman Chicken, who's sole claim to outlaw fame was murdering a drunken, washed up old gunslinger while he was sleeping. Tellingly, Chicken has the lowest bounty of any outlaw in the game.

%%* MightyGlacier: Mr. Black.

* PrisonEpisode: The escape from the gold mine.

-->'''[[{{Badass}} General Diego]]:''' ''I have a case of cigars and a case of tequila, and I'm not going anywhere!''

** The bridge in the level where you play as General Diego looks ''exactly'' like the bridge towards the end of ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly.'' Both of them are even blown up!

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Dr. Perry's teleporting, Grizzly's superhuman agility, and Mr. Black and his henchman's [[NotUsingTheZWord questionable vitality]].

** There's also Ugly Josh who really lives up to his name, and his henchman Chicken, who's sole claim to outlaw fame was murdering a drunken, washed up old gunslinger while he was sleeping. Tellingly, Chicken has the lowest bounty of any outlaw in the game.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The Duellist, a fact brought in his description.

** One of Dr. Perry's cronies is a fire eater who puts his skills to deadly use against the player. You'll also acquire throwable "[[MolotovCocktail Fire Bottles]]" and Shadow Wolf has the ability to shoot [[ArrowsOnFire flaming arrows]].

** Clyde "The Blade" Slade, a member of Dr. Perry's CircusOfFear.

* CircusOfFear: Dr. Perry leads one of these.

** Dammit Dr. Perry, ''stop teleporting''!

* MadBomber: Pig Josh, who is fond of throwing dynamite around.

* MeekTownsman: Sheriff O'Grady, who lets the local outlaws walk all over him.

* MonsterClown: Early on you do battle with an army of shotgun wielding midget clowns.

%%* ActionGirl: Annie Stoakes.

%%* BulletTime

%%* SawedOffShotgun

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Though it is implied, [[spoiler: Jack Swift is apparently killed off ''entirely offscreen'' at the end of the game. You don't even see the fight that kills him; he just goes off with Annie and doesn't come back.]] However, in ''Red Dead Redemption'' there is mention of him, as well as being able to use him in mutli-player.

* ActionGirl: Annie Stoakes.
** DarkActionGirl: Whip-crazy Bad Bessie and Christina, the shotgun-toting lady stripper.

* AncestralWeapon: The Scorpion Revolver.
* AnnoyingArrows
* ArbitraryGunPower

* ArrowsOnFire: Shadow Wolf's special move.

* AwesomeYetPractical: The exquisite pair of Scorpion pistols that Nate Harlow and Griff have custom-made are also the most powerful in the game. One bullet was enough to sever Colonel Daren's left arm from its socket.
* AwesomeButImpractical: Molotov cocktails, poison bottles and dynamite. Although they're very dangerous, they're lofted with a lazy underarm action that makes hitting a moving target almost impossible. The latter also has an extremely long fuse.

* {{Bandito}}

* BigBad: [[spoiler: Governor Griffon, your father's former partner, who sold you and your family out to Diego and Daren, and used the proceeds to become Governor.]]

* BondOneLiner: Jack Swift after killing knife-thrower Clyde 'The Blade' Slade: "I think you've lost your edge."

* BulletTime
* BullfightBoss: Sam.

* CoolGuns

* TheDandy: Jack Swift.
* DarkActionGirl: Bad Bessie.
* DeathMountain: Rogue Valley.
* DistressedDamsel: Sheriff O'Grady's daughter.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The bridge in the level where you play as General Diego looks ''exactly'' like the bridge towards the end of ''The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.'' Both of them are even blown up!
* TheDragon: Colonel Daren to General Diego.
** Also Jason Cornet to Governor Griffon, to the extent that the former is the last bodyguard Red faces before going up against Griffon himself.

* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Jesse Lynch.
* EscortMission: The Siege -level.
* EvilIsHammy: General Diego.
* {{Expy}}: Red is obviously modeled after ClintEastwood, more specifically The Man with No Name from ''Film/TheDollarsTrilogy'', and Josey Wales from "Film/TheOutlawJoseyWales".

* [[FisticuffsBoss Fisticuffs Level]]: One level sees you start [[BarBrawl a bar fight]], in which you can only use your fists and strategically wielded bottles.

* FourStarBadass: General Diego.

* GeneralRipper: Diego again.
* GetBackHereBoss: Dammit Dr. Perry, ''stop teleporting''!

* GroinAttack: One of your melee attack.

* HubLevel: Brimstone

* IncendiaryExponent: Manny Quinn's special move.
* IronicEcho: "What do you say...partner?" [[spoiler: [[ShutUpHannibal clickBANG]] ]]
* IronicNickname: "Sissy" Fess, huge guy who can easily throw huge boulders at you.

* KillItWithFire: Getting set on fire does a huge amount of damage in single player, and while you're running around trying to beat the flames out you can't defend yourself. In addition, anyone on fire will set anyone they bump into on fire, [[DisasterDominoes who will set anyone they bump into on fire, etc...]] meaning that one flaming attack can cause utter carnage with a bit of luck.

* KnifeNut: Clyde "The Blade" Slade, a member of the CircusOfFear.
** Also Fawkes whom you encounter in the TrainJob -level.

* LightningBruiser: [[{{Acrofatic}} Pig Josh]].
* LocomotiveLevel
* MadBomber: Pig Josh.
* MadeOfPlasticine: Colonel Daren, [[CutscenePowerToTheMax at least in a certain cutscene]].
** To specify, it's one of the opening cutscenes. A young Red Harlow takes his father's gun and fires, messily blowing off Col. Daren's arm.
* TheManTheyCouldntHang: Mr. Lynch.

* MightyGlacier: Mr. Black.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The Duellist.

* SawedOffShotgun

** The dueling tournament is a WholePlotReference to the Sam Raimi film ''Film/TheQuickAndTheDead''. Interestingly, Red Harlow's name is a reference to the book of the same name (which is otherwise entirely unrelated), where the main antagonist is named Red Hyle.

** One fight in the Annie Stokes level plays out an awful lot like a game of ''SpaceInvaders''.
** Supporting character 'Blind Willy Wilson' is mostlikely a [[ShoutOut nod]] to the blues singer Blind Willy [=McTell=]- TheWhiteStripes covered one of his songs.

** General Diego's playable stage is reminiscent of the bridge from ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly''.

* TheTropeKid: Kid Cougar.

* WholePlotReference: The QuickDraw tournament is a reference to Sam Raimi's ''Film/TheQuickAndTheDead.''

* WorldOfBadass

** General Diego's [[ThatOneLevel playable stage]] is reminiscent of the bridge from ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly''.

** Mr Black, who carries a coffin with a gatling gun, much like western hero Django.

** The duelling contest itself is almost a WholePlotReference to the Sam Raimi film ''Film/TheQuickAndTheDead''. Red Harlow's name is a ShoutOut to the unrelated Louis L'Amour novel of the same name.

** Mr. Black's gatling-coffin is similar to the one used by Film/{{Django}}.
** [[ThatOneLevel General Diego's playable stage]] is reminiscent of the bridge from ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly''.

** Diego, while fighting you, will shout [[ScarFace "Say hello to my little friend!"]]

* ShoutOut: Mr Black, who carries a coffin with a gatling gun, much like western hero Django.

* {{Expy}}: Red is obviously modeled after ClintEastwood, more specifically The Man with No Name from ''Film/TheDollarsTrilogy''.

* KnifeNut: Clyde [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "The Blade"]] Slade, a member of the CircusOfFear.

* TakeThat: One opponent in the duelling contest seems quite closely based on LeonardoDiCaprio's cocky young gunfighter from ''The Quick And The Dead''. Red guns him down and don't even give him a respectful tip of the hat.

* WholePlotReference: The QuickDraw tournament is a reference to Sam Raimi's ''TheQuickAndTheDead.''

* TheArcher: Shadow Wolf.

Despite having very little hype and a disjointed production poking into the gameplay here and there, with its superb atmosphere, [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters large and memorable cast]] and extremely fun multiplayer on its side Red Dead Revolver got good reviews and became something of a CultClassic. In 2010, it was followed by the huge hit and critical darling ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'', which borrowed the game's Western setting but gave it a sandbox framework. It isn't a direct sequel though the story of the game does get a mention and you can play as character via [=DLCs=].

* HalfBreed:Red is half-native,but he's never looked down upon because of his origins.It also becomes handy when it emerges that his grandfather-The Chief, still cares about him and sends his cousin [[spoiler:to save him when he's captured]]
