* {{Squick}}: In the novel, the thieves gain access to Fowler's key by setting him up with a twelve year-old girl and copying the key while he's having his way with her. Even worse, it's revealed earlier that he had syphilis.
** Averted in the movie: there's no mention of Fowler having a social disease, and he's set up with Miriam, posing as an adult French courtesan. And before she has to actually do anything with Fowler, Pierce sets up a phony police raid and hauls Fowler out.

!! Tropes for the silent film:
* AdaptationDisplacement: It is based on a stage play, which is no longer performed and was never filmed in its original form. Therefore, most present day people who've seen it don't know that it's an adaptation.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Even with how iconic the shot is and how much it's been parodied, the scene where the Bandit Leader shoots at the camera in the end, still has no relevance to the plot.
* MemeticMutation: The ending shot where Justus D. Barnes shoots at the camera has been referenced and parodied to death.
* OlderThanTheyThink: Despite its reputation, it isn't the first filmed Western -- [=IMDb=] has entries for at least [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250260/ three]] [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0000184/ earlier]] [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0360014/ examples]].
* SpecialEffectsFailure: For modern viewers it's very obvious that the guy thrown off the train is actually a dummy. At the time, however, special effects like this were novel and convincing. Even now it qualifies for a GrandfatherClause.
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: This was made in 1903, which means it was made during the WildWest era. Actual train robberies as depicted in the film were happening during that time period.
