Tear Jerker / The Magnificent Seven (1960)

• The death of each of the magnificent seven.
  • Harry's was one of the worst. He initially abandons the team fearing the odds are against them. He comes rushing in and saves Chris, then gets shot for his troubles.
  Harry: I'll be damned. (dies)
  Chris: Maybe you won't be.
  • Poor O'Reilly, ends up getting him killed protecting his Instant Fan Club instead of concentrating on the fight. And the poor kids get a front row seat.
  Village Boy: We didn't mean to do it! We didn't mean to do it!
  • Poor Lee, while little of his personality is explored. His dying after getting his nerve back and saving a lot of lives in the climactic battle and ends with him killed right afterward. His rescue led to the villagers taking part in the final battle.
  • Britt, it's not so much his death (though that's still hard to watch). It's when Chris finds his knife after the battles over. He picks it up, then gets a mournful look on his face.
  • Surprisingly, Calvera's death, which, in a role reversal, somewhat mirrors Kikuchiyo's. His shock and confusion after being shot by Chris makes you feel a little sorry for him.
  Calvera: You came back...for a place like this...why? A man like you, why...?

  • Calvera almost veers into Tragic Villain territory in that his Evil Cannot Comprehend Good mentality is not one of sneering contempt but honest, complete and utter confusion as to why anyone would stick their neck out for somebody else when there is nothing to gain from it. It's like he's never even seen a selfless act in his life up until that point and that opens up some scary possibilities about what his life must've been like.
