comment
Hang 'Em High is a 1968 Western film directed by Ted Post and starring Clint Eastwood.The action starts off with Jed Cooper (Eastwood) being wrongfully accused of murder and cattle-rustling by Captain Wilson (Ed Begley) and his posse, who then proceed to lynch him — but not very well; he lives long enough for a passing U.S. Marshal to cut him down and take him to territorial Judge Fenton (Pat Hingle). Cooper's story of being a one-time lawman from St. Louis checks out, and Fenton offers him a job as a marshal to bring Wilson and the rest of the men who lynched him to justice... but with the understanding that he bring them in alive.

Kirk Summation: The reason why one of the men scheduled to be hanged en masse (unsuccessfully) uses his last request to try to get the deliverer (a God-fearing young man who was truly repentant for the crimes he got caught up in) of said summation to shut up.

Title Drop: The Big Bad leader of the vigilantes mentions at one point that they made two mistakes (wrongly accusing Jed of being a thief and then hanging him) — on various markets, the film was titled "They Made Two Mistakes".

Minion with an F in Evil
 Hang 'Em High / int_35f57671
comment
Minion with an F in Evil: One character, realizing they'd hung an innocent man, gives himself up to the Judge and is only imprisoned. At the end of the episode Jed insists that he be released (as he's dying in prison conditions) if he's going to continue working for the Judge. Two of the bushwhackers are just kids who didn't kill anyone—and they even make it a point not to help their leader at all in his attempt to escape and kill Cooper. As such, Jed repeatedly pleads with the Judge to spare them. Alas, cattle rustling is a capital offence and Fenton rejects his pleas.

Hanging Around

comment
Hanging Around: Given the title of the film and the genre would you expect anything less? The film starts with Jed Cooper being lynched by a group of 9 vigilantes due to a wrongful accusation of murder. He survives it and is given the chance to bring the men to justice. Judge Fenton is a Hanging Judge who lives up to the name and is used as a contrast to Jed who ultimately seeks leniency for some of the vigilantes, despite having every reason not to. Captain Wilson expecting the worst when Jed finally has him cornered, decides to hang himself instead of facing him. The man that framed Jed gets hanged for the exact crime he tried to pin on Jed.

Vigilante Injustice: The Big Bad Ensemble of the film is a posse who mistook protagonist Jed Cooper for a cattle thief on circumstantial evidence (Jed had the bad luck of purchasing his cattle very shortly before the real thief killed the man Jed bought it from, a fact discovered by a proper Circuit Judge much later in the day) and lynched him, only for Jed to survive and come looking for them as the judge's newly-appointed Sheriff, and while Jed tries to not go on the customary Roaring Rampage of Revenge, the majority of the members of the posse refuse to be arrested.

The Big Bad Shuffle: While Captain Wilson is the obvious candidate for being unwilling to back down, Fenton seems a good candidate too because of his tendency to hang people. Wilson hangs himself when Cooper corners him causing him to decide to turn in his badge (among other reasons). Fenton convinces him to be his counter point man and naysayer in order to keep him honest.

Unknowingly Possessing Stolen Goods: At the start of the film, Jed is driving his herd of cattle across a stream when a posse of men surround Jed, demanding Jed show them the receipt for the cattle. It turns out that the man who sold Jed the cattle killed the original owner and stole them and sold them off to Jed. Jed tries to explain that he knew nothing about the murder, but they don't believe him and leave him hanging. Jed gets rescued and his innocence is proven. He becomes a deputy as he looks to bring the posse to justice.

comment
Any Last Words?: During a multiple public hanging, the condemned are allowed to give this trope to the assembled crowd, who regard the occasion as public entertainment. One man gives a lengthy speech of how his dissolute ways lead to his demise and urging others not to follow his path. Another prisoner's final words are a request that the first man shut up so they can Get It Over With.

Roaring Rampage of Revenge
 Hang 'Em High / int_ceec4df5
comment
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Subverted. Averted at first in that the judge makes it clear to Cooper he wants the nine who hanged him alive. Problem is, some of those nine men are not going to go quietly. The whole movie makes it clear that revenge isn't as clean as the characters thought it would be.

Determinator: Jed. He survives being hanged and later on being shot by the villains, and hunts them down the very second he's officially back to full health.

Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder: Despite feeling remorse for hanging the wrong man, vigilante Tommy is willing to join Wilson in trying to kill Jed due to fear that his wife won't be able to wait for him if he goes to prison.

Undying Loyalty: Vigilante Loomis is fiercely loyal to Wilson for giving him a home after decades of drifting and rejects Wilson's sad claim to have dragged him into their feud with Jed.
