History YMMV / WildWildWest

* CompleteMonster: Loveless. He's an utter bigot. He keeps women as (what are arguably) sex slaves. He mocks [[AbrahamLincoln Lincoln's]] assassination. He slaughters General [=McGrath=]'s men in front of him as punishment for [[AmericanCivilWar surrendering to the North]]. He plans to destroy the United States unless the President surrenders to his new alliance -- and firebombs a random frontier town to prove his point. [[spoiler: And it's revealed that he previously used his tank to massacre a settlement of free slaves, including Jim West's family, for ''target practice''.]]

* CriticProof: Despite both bad reviews and a poor box office performance, the film still recouped its budget.
** And as WillSmith famously said; ''"[[BadassBoast That's how big I am. I bomb over $100 million.]]"''

* OldShame: Will Smith has publicly apologized to Robert Conrad for making this movie.

** Which begs the question of [[WhatTheHellHero what the hell the producers]] where even ''thinking'' by making '''all''' of the banter between West and Loveless into a collection of racist and disabled jokes?

* TheyJustDidntCare: Well "didn't care" is a little harsh. They did and its obvious they were channeling the spirit of the TV show (keep in mind, the show is often billed as [[XMeetsY James Bond in the West]]). Its just the approach that was a little off.

* ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs: A {{Western}} on crack.

* AdaptationDisplacement: Not everyone who has seen (or even heard of) this film is aware of the TV show it's [[InNameOnly allegedly]] based on, unfortunately for its fans.

* ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs: A {{Western}} on crack.

* CompleteMonster: Loveless. He intends to destroy the United States unless President agrees to divide the states among Great Britain, France, Spain, Mexico, and himself. [[spoiler: And in his past crimes it's revealed he used his tank to massacre a settlement of free slaves, including Jim West's family, for pratice]].
* CriticProof: Despite both bad reviews still recouped its budget.

* EarWorm:
** The "Wild Wild West" song was ''everywhere'' when this movie came out. Beware. If you remember the words, it'll get stuck in your head forever.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: Audience reaction was... strange, to say the least. Giant steampunk spider-tank? Silly, but eh, whatever. Black US Marshal in the wild west? Somehow ''that'' became everyone's line for ridiculousness.
** Honestly, ViewersAreMorons. Movie going audiences apparently can [[SuperMan believe a man can fly]], but a steam powered spider-tank? That's going ''too far!''

* HamAndCheese: Pretty much what makes this film SoBadItsGood. Mostly comes from Kenneth Branagh and Kevin Kline.
* LoveItOrHateIt: It's either SoBadItsGood or just plain bad.

* MemeticMutation: The Spider Tank, which has since become associated with producer Jon Peters' obsession with giant spiders due to an anecdote from KevinSmith.
