Westerns have a particular knack for character introductions, with the genre being eerily good at quickly establishing what to expect from a new cowpoke. The beloved tropes of the Western are very particular, having some of the most specific conventions of any category of film.
✕ Remove Ads 9 Doc Holliday Tombstone It's hard to find a character introduction as succinct as Doc Holiday's in 1993's Tombstone. Loosely based on the real events that unfolded in Tombstone, Arizona, including the legendary shootout at the O.K. Corral, Tombstone provides a patchwork biopic for several infamous names in the real American wild west. Among them is Doc Holliday, a hard-drinking, gambling gunfighter suffering from an acute case of tuberculosis.
7 Harmonica Once Upon a Time in the West Westerns are quite fond of mysterious characters with quirky nicknames, but always put in the work to make sure this particular brand of character comes across as properly capable. One of the great epic spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone, the primary plot concerns a parcel of land whose owners are under siege by the hired thugs of a railroad tycoon, eager to use the valuable well to expand his line.
5 Silence The Great Silence ✕ Remove Ads Another deadly quick Western protagonist with a simple mononym, Silence's introduction in The Great Silence proves that actions speak louder than words. The opening shot of the character's first scene quickly establishes a unique visual identity, trading the usual sun-swept desert plains of the typical Western for a snowy mountainside.
