Deal with the Devil: At some point, the Captain sells his soul to the Devil for a garish hat with matching boots. As did The Beast... and Aveline and Elijah's twins.

Pastiche: In the Cast/Writer interview, the cast states that the comedy in the film is an homage to the comedy styling of Monty Python.

Bizarre and Improbable Golf Game: A running gag has two men, Sir Clarence and Sir Chesterton follow Aveline and her wagon train up the Oregon Trail. They're adamant about playing through their shots, no matter how bizarre or dangerous a place their balls land.

All of the Other Reindeer: The trailers indicate that Aveline is a social pariah in her hometown, as the other townspeople call her a "cursed widow".

comment
Bait-and-Switch: There's no shame in admitting that you thought the reason why Kit 'Kitty' Carson talked funny was because he was kicked in the groin by a buffalo... it was the throat. Everyone else in that scene thought it was groin as well. Also, the fact that Kitty LOOKS the part of a gruff mountain man, only to speak with a bizarre high-pitched voice.

comment
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Widow Jenkin's sole reason for heading west is to stop her teenage daughter from getting married, though the other characters lampshade how this is common for the period they're in.

Shout-Out: The frequent mentioning of dysentery is likely one of the infamous lines from The Oregon Trail.
