William Telling: In his introductory scene, Magobei is earning a living showing off his sword skills at a carnival, where he cuts a fish draped across the thighs (perilously close to her crotch) of the woman playing a shamisen during his act.

Gold Fever: It all starts when a ship carrying gold for the government is wrecked offshore and the gold recovered by fishermen. Rokugo has the fishing village massacred to Leave No Witnesses because he wants the gold for himself. After the gold runs out, he plans a deliberate shipwreck.

Snow Means Death
 Goyokin / int_55180ce
comment
Snow Means Death: Both the original massacre and the final battle take place during a snowstorm. Though this comes in handy when Samon needs to extinguish the fake beacon; he just creates a mini avalanche to dump a load of snow on top of the flames. Likewise the final duel between Rokugo and Magobei. The former brings a burning brand to keep his hands warm, and both fighters are shown breathing on their fingers to maintain their grip in the cold.

 Goyokin / int_574c0dd2
comment
Conveniently Placed Sharp Thing: Rokugo throws a dart at Magobei while he's hanging from a tree, but it hits the rope instead, doing enough damage that the rope eventually breaks and Magobei falls to the ground...and straight through the snow so he's buried over his head. Fortunately he's able to pull the rope in using his teeth...and then the dart falls out. He then makes the dart fall in the hole by wriggling around a bit and catches it in his teeth. It's not shown how he then cuts his bonds with his hands tied behind his back... Samon tries cutting his ropes by rubbing them against the rocks, but in this case he's being guarded and a beating soon discourages him.

The Musketeer: Despite the movie's title the hero Finley uses both gun and sword. This is handwaved as him coming from Mexican aristocracy, though it doesn't explain why various mooks and bounty hunters would also use them.

Guns vs. Swords
 Goyokin / int_688bddeb
comment
Guns vs. Swords: Muskets are used to fire through the walls of the hut where the protagonists are hiding out, then swordsmen are sent in to finish them off. Fortunately the blindfire misses and Magobei and Samon make short work of the swordsmen, but when they try to exit the hut they find themselves trapped under a net while the musketeers rush up to take them prisoner. There's no sign of these muskets in the final battle though, perhaps because the snowfall would dampen the powder and the darkness reduce their range.

You Wouldn't Shoot Me: When the above-mentioned men are going to throw Finley into the sea, Eula turns up with a revolver and demands they free her husband. They don't think she will shoot, but are sure that the Don with kill them if they don't carry out his orders, so decide to take their chances. Eula shoots one man in the arm, then says that the only way to stop her is to kill her, and points out that Don Paulo would never forgive them for killing his sister.

Leave No Witnesses: Rokugo finds the fishermen have hidden the gold they found, so has the entire village killed so he can keep it instead of returning the gold to the shogunate. He later intends to use another group of villagers to construct a fake beacon light then go out in boats to retrieve the gold, whereupon these witnesses will also be killed.

Shoot the Rope: Paulo has Finley tied up and hanging from a tree. When Finley turns down an offer to walk away, Paulo draws his gun...and shoots the rope, dumping Finley on the ground. He then tells his men to weigh Finley down and throw him into the sea. Naturally this just gives Finley a chance to escape, and he later frees another character who's been tied to a beacon fire by using this trope, presumably because he doesn't have time to untie him.
