Draw! is a 1984 American Western comedy film directed by Steven Hilliard Stern. It stars Kirk Douglas, James Coburn and Alexandra Bastedo.In the Twilight of the Old West, a Retired Outlaw, Harry Holland, only wants to leave Bell City with money he won fairly at a poker game. However, his way is barred by Reggie Bell, a gambler who lost most of the money, the sheriff and a deputy, Wally Blodgett. In the subsequent shoot-out, the sheriff is killed and Holland and Bell are wounded. Holland takes refuge in a hotel along with a 'hostage' - Bess. The townsfolk decide the only thing to do is hire an ex-sheriff, Sam Starret, to 'face down' Holland. But he is now a drunk - can he beat his long-time nemesis?

The Magic Poker Equation: Harry Holland sits in on one hand of poker with the annoying Reggie Bell. After a vigorous round of betting, Reggie is forced to put an IOU for $200 into the pot to match Holland's bet. Reggie lays down a full house and starts to rake in the pot, only for Holland to lay down a king high straight flush.

Blasting It Out of Their Hands
 Draw! / int_4cbc7f95
comment
Blasting It Out of Their Hands: In the opening scene, Holland demonstrates his skill with a gun by blasting a stick out the hand of a young boy who is sneaking up on him. He later blasts the gun out of Reggie's hand during the shootout in Bell City. It becomes a Running Gag when Reggie tries to hold Starret at gunpoint, only to have Starret shoot the gun out of his hand.

Showdown at High Noon: The final showdown between Holland and Starret takes place first thing in the morning rather than at noon, but otherwise fits the bill. Except that they have rigged it between the two of them to all Holland to fake his death.

Lima Syndrome: Almost unintentionally, Harry takes Bess hostage because he knows that the town thinking her life is in danger is the only thing keeping him from being lynched. Over the several days they are holed up in her hotel room, they fall in love and she winds up conspiring with him to find away to avoid mob justice.

Bullying a Dragon: Reggie and two of his mooks attempt to force Sam Starret out of town at gunpoint: showing up in his bedroom pointing guns at him. When Reggie attempts to humiliate The Alcoholic Starret by pouring a bottle of booze on the floor and forcing him to lick it up, Starret decides he has had enough and shoots the gun out of Reggie's hand, the hat off the head of one of the thugs, and arrests the three of them and locks them up.

comment
Hat Damage: In the opening scene, Harry shoots a stick out of Moses's hand with a gun he has hidden under his hat: putting a hole in it. He then pokes a finger through the hole and comments wistfully about it being his only hat. Later, Sam shoots the bowler hat of the head of one of Reggie's thugs who try to jump him in his bedroom; much to the shock of the thug.

Annoying Laugh: All-round Jerkass Reggie Bell—the son of the most powerful man in Bell City—has an annoying high-pitched laugh that he lets out any time he thinks he is getting one over on someone. The disgusted looks on the faces on those around him every time he laughs show that everyone in town is sick of it, but too scared to call him on it.

Gun Twirling: Holland gives an impressive display of this to the young boy Moses at the start of the film. He then immediately undercuts this by telling Moses that it is a completely useless skill that any man with a finger can master. He does it again to holster his gun after the final showdown before collapsing as part of his Faking the Dead act.

Faking the Dead: After realising that Holland faces no chance of a fair trial in front of Hanging Judge Fawcett, he conspires with Holland to stage a Showdown at High Noon. With age of Bess's stagecraft, they fake Holland's death, and Starret then takes Holland's 'body' out of town to bury it. Once they are out of town, Holland sits up and the two of them split the money Starret was paid to bring him in.
