---

Wild Wild West provides examples of:

• Actor Allusion: A grapheme played by Kevin Kline is the doppelgänger of a U.S. president, and even impersonates said president at one point... now, are we talking about Artemus Gordon, or Dave Kovic?
• Adaptational Villainy: Downplayed. Dr. Loveless on the show was however a villain, only also genuinely was the sort of Well-Intentioned Extremist that movie Loveless is just pretending to exist. Film Loveless is also racist and willing to plough on his own men; exactly the kind of person that Show Loveless would have hated. The two are further separated by being given different names - Arliss Loveless in the movie, Miguelito Loveless on the bear witness.
• Alas, Poor Villain: Despite General McGrath'southward involvement in the New Liberty massacre, it'south hard not to show sympathy for him when he, his men and their horses are used by Loveless as target do; fifty-fifty W himself is horrified seeing the corpses of McGrath'south men and their horses while showing some pity towards the dying McGrath when the latter informed him that Loveless is responsible for initiating the New Freedom massacre.

  • Mr. Hudson is a Native American representative working for Loveless on the hope that Manhattan will be return to their command under Loveless' plan. The flick implies this is part of the plan with a few references to Manhattan, simply doesn't make information technology explicit.

  • In the novelization, Jim survives his autumn from the spider when his Native American friend comes to him in a vision and heals him. In the motion picture West survives thanks to Gordon'southward proto-blazon bulletproof vest, creating a pocket-sized Continuity Snarl when Gordon claims to be wearing it non long after, even though he was but e'er shown making i and wasn't sure information technology would work.
  • The novelization includes a minor detail when West and Gordon set on Loveless' spider; the gatling guns on the front weren't designed to be able to shoot upward. Loveless takes a moment to figure a mode around this by making the spider itself raise its head up on an bending to recoup. The film just doesn't bring this upward and the guns are able to shoot up just fine.
  • Rita pretty much admits in the end that she played up the Femme Fatale angle to convince West and Gordon to bring her with them, because she knew they might not if she told them she was looking for her husband.
• All Your Base Are Belong to Us: Loveless steals the Wanderer with Rita in tow so that he can get to his laboratory in Spider Canyon.

A corner in the Northwest was reserved for "Loveless Country". In that location was a valid reason for this beyond just a want on Loveless' office to rip America apart: those countries were financing his experiments and superweapons.
• Anachronism Stew: Jim West's use of modern slang, such every bit "boobies" and "booty".

  • African Americans were in the Union Ground forces, but never could become commissioned officers at that time. The beginning one to go an officer's commission was Henry Ossian Flipper, about ii decades afterward.
• Artistic License – Physics: Pretty breathy with the collar trap device. First, the motorcar hands detects when someone steps over the copper "fence" — even without actually touching it and with no credible connection between the two. Then the trap neck braces have some truly inconsistent magnetism (the braces merely attract themselves subsequently Gordon hits them with a rock, the buzz saws they're attracting rarely get in a straight line...) and the saws more or less accept space angular momentum, mowing their way through entire cornfields without losing a bit of spin. Plus they explode when they run into each other!

  • After Loveless captures West and Gordon, he fits their necks with the blade-alluring magnets that the professor in the opening was also killed with. Then he leaves earlier ensuring their demise.

  Dr. Arliss Loveless: My honey General, having donated half of my physical being to create a weapon capable of doing this, how did yous and General Lee repay my loyalty?! [shouting] Y'all SURRENDERED AT APPOMATTOX!!! So WHO BETRAYED WHOM?!!

• No-Nonsense Nemesis: Dr. Loveless is sometimes decumbent to Bond Villain Stupidity, just is far from beingness subjected to information technology as he is more than clever than he looks in many moments:
  • When Loveless callously orders the slaughter of McGrath's men for target practice with his new tank, McGrath furiously attempts to shoot him down in revenge, only for Loveless to play wise past activating his hidden guns inside his wheelchair to fatally shoot McGrath.
  • When Loveless goes to housebreak President Grant, Gordon uses his Body Double guise to try and pull a Bait-and-switch while West climbs upwardly to confront Loveless. Nonetheless, Loveless refuses to waste product time to make up one's mind which one is the existent Gordon, so instead, he springs out a net to trap both Gordon and Grant while getting Munitia to shoot West. Fortunately, Westward was wearing Gordon'due south wearing body armor to avoid beingness killed by the shot.
  • Following his successful capture of President Grant and Gordon, Loveless attempts to get Munitia to execute Gordon in order to force Grant to surrender the country. Just like W, Gordon too is wearing wearing body armor and requests that he be shot in the heart. Notwithstanding, Loveless refuses and instead orders for Gordon to be shot in the head for good measure. Fortunately, West (posing every bit an exotic belly dancer) came to the rescue before that could ever happen.
  • When Loveless goes on a rampage decimating a town with his mechanical spider while yet holding President Grant prisoner, Gordon and West employ their flying automobile to attack the spider with nitroglycerin bombs and kill Munitia.

• Noodle Incident: The New Liberty incident that gave Full general "Bloodbath" McGrath his nickname. Though it'due south eventually explained.

• Plain Evil: Downplayed with McGrath; he'southward ugly, dingy, rude, a bigot, and a nasty person overall, and he'southward clearly evil; only he'south a lesser evil compared to Loveless.

• Phallic Weapon: Loveless' rather phallic disc blade launcher.
• Point Caught: Actually averted with the Tarantula - information technology had Gatling guns on board, which make handy anti-shipping weapons...
• Politically Correct History: Mostly averted, actually. Contrary to popular misconception, the United states Army had quite a few black officers during the Civil War. Official Regular army records list 186,097 black soldiers, seven,122 of whom were officers. How many of these accomplished the rank of helm is not clear (one suspects near black officers were very junior). Even further, Jim gets himself in a lot of problem for misbehaving at a political party full of white people.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: The strongly racist Dr. Loveless. Nevertheless one of his henchmen is a Native American. (On the other paw, annotation how none of his landclaim restoration plan gives annihilation dorsum to the Native Americans...)
  • Loveless actually does plan to render something to the Native Americans. He doesn't expressly state it, and we can't see it on the map, but he references the (inaccurate) account of Manhattan being purchased from the Native Americans for beads, and tells United kingdom they'll exist given the thirteen original colonies "minus Manhattan."
• Pre-Mortem 1-Liner: After West overpowers Loveless' blade-wielding henchmen and ties him to some chains, he says "That's information technology. No more Mr. Pocketknife Guy." He and so kicks him out of the Tarantula with his kick.

• Taking You with Me: The end has Arliss Loveless in a position where he could very well survive along with Jim Westward, but also has the selection of pulling this on him, leaving him feeling genuinely conflicted almost the effect (As he puts it, "On the one mitt, I have the slap-up honey I have for myself, and on the other, the raw, seething hatred that I have for you"). Westward makes the choice for him (Loveless calling him a coward and a racial slur helps him determine), pulling the lever and sending both down into a very deep chasm.
