Support Your Local Sheriff is a 1969 Western spoof from United Artists, directed by Burt Kennedy and starring James Garner.Garner plays the calm and hyper-competent Jason McCullough, who becomes the sheriff of the rowdy boomtown of Calendar, Colorado, mostly because he needs the money. With the questionable help of his scruffy deputy Jake (Jack Elam), he defeats the local robber baron (Walter Brennan), cleans up the town and gets the girl (Joan Hackett), casually subverting most standard western tropes in the process.Two years later, more or less the same production crew and cast made Support Your Local Gunfighter, which—despite the carry-over and the title—is not a sequel. This time around, Garner is con-artist Latigo Smith, who slips off a train in the jerkwater town of Purgatory and finds himself embroiled in a no-holds-barred battle between two mining concerns to claim the local motherlode of gold. Again with the "help" of Elam's character Jug May, he finds the gold and gets the second girl (Suzanne Pleshette).The films may or may not be classics, with the editing and continuity being particularly sloppy, but if you're any sort of fan of westerns, you really won't mind too much. | |

Failed a Spot Check: It might explain why their shooting was so bad that the entire group of bad guys at the final gunfight completely miss the Sheriff and Jake hauling Joe out and restraining him to the local cannon at the end of the street when almost all of them are shooting that way. | |

Character Development | |
| Support Your Local Sheriff / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: At the start of the first film, Jake is something of an uncouth lout and a Cowardly Lion with poor self-esteem, who wants nothing to do with a lawman's position because of the target it would paint on his back. Over time, he starts to embrace his new job as the sheriff's deputy and does his best to help his friends beat back the Danbys, every step of the way (in a rather surly fashion, of course). By the end of the movie, Jake feels pretty pleased with himself and proud of a job well done, hoping he becomes a legendary figure in western history. | |

Combat Pragmatist: McCullough. He fully understands that gunfights are a good way to get yourself killed so where possible, he uses other methods including tripping horses with a rope, bluffing the Danbys into surrendering by tying Joe to a cannon, and throwing rocks at a would be gunslinger trying to earn a reputation. | |

Everyone Has Standards: Everyone on all sides thinks that shooting up the town, threatening to shoot hostages, and so on in the final gunfight is just business as usual, but McCullough accidentally blowing up the whorehouse is just beyond the pale. | |

Take That!: The town brothel in SYLS is named after a Warner Bros. executive with whom Garner had recently clashed. It coincidentally happens to be a Punny Name as well ("Madame Orr's House" [Whorehouse] ) Which then feeds into a Freudian Slip by Jake: | |

Coin-Targeting Trickshot: Parodied. McCullough demonstrates his Improbable Aiming Skills by tossing a washer into the air and shooting at it. It comes down untouched and he claims he shot the bullet through the hole in the washer. When he isn't believed, he sticks a piece of tape over the washer and repeats the trick. When he catches the washer, there is a hole in the tape. | |
