Showdown at High Noon | comment |
The Era: The Wild West. The Place: In the middle of an empty, dusty road outside a saloon or other structure. The Players: Two gunmen, almost Always Male, are approaching from opposite ends of the road, complete with holsters and fully loaded six-shooters. Bonus points if one hat is black, one hat is white, and at least one tumbleweed goes by. The Time: The instant the clock strikes high noon.note At high noon the sun isn't in either person's eyes, thus leveling the playing field. The Music: You know the one.noteIronically, this most iconic of Western tunes was NOT the one accompanying the final showdown. It was an even more dramatic tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EujDcc2xEUI The Hero (or Anti-Hero with No Name Given and a Badass Longcoat) and the Big Bad stand at opposite ends of the street, hands hovering over their holsters. The camera cuts between their faces (and eyes), their twitching fingers, the faces of the frightened crowd, and of the combatants framed by the opponent's legs. Long seconds pass. On a cue known only to the gunfighters — except for the clock striking 12 — hands slap leather and shots ring out. The outcome is never certain, and any number of Westerns, even in the pre-Post Modern days of the Fifties, played with this trope without subverting it. Will someone cheat? Will one get the drop on the other, but not fire? Will both draw, and reach a Mexican Standoff? Will one intentionally miss, shoot the gun out of the other's hand, or simply gun him down? Or will some third party change the dynamic completely? Or perhaps they will both be shot. A Dead Horse Trope (no pun intended) right up there with Chained to a Railway, but many works that featured it before it became cliche are still around. Its familiarity, of course, makes it a favorite parody. In said parody, one character is required to say, "This town ain't big enough for the two of us." Quite rarely will it occur to them that some urban expansion could solve all their problems. The Sword Counterpart to this trope is the Single-Stroke Battle. Examples for the major classic variation, where The Hero (or Anti-Hero etc.) and the Big Bad stand back to back in the street. They step forward ten paces, the spurs on their heels clinking with every step. At the tenth step, they turn. The shoot out begins... Should mosey on over to Ten Paces and Turn.

In Destiny, the final showdown between Dredgen Yor and Shin Malphur is one of these. It begins with the former monologuing to the latter about how he's always hoped it would come to this, after he'd killed the latter's mentor and adoptive father Jaren Ward, and let Shin take Jaren's gun, the Last Word. Malphur, on the other hand, lets his anger and pain build up within him to empower his Light, until it suddenly explodes out into a revolver formed of pure Solar Light, and shoots Dredgen Yor dead mid-sentence. When Malphur checks Yor's corpse, he finds that Yor had never even tried to draw his weapon. | |

The endings of the western spoofs Support Your Local Sheriff and Support Your Local Gunfighter are both extended parodies of this trope. The first film also has the eponymous sheriff dealing with a series of hired guns who all confront him in this fashion: "Why do these jaspers always hit town at mealtime?" | |

There's one in a cutscene of Star Trek Online, of all places. Episode "Wasteland", mission "A Fistful of Gorn" starts with your contact on Nimbus III, an old Romulan named Law, challenging a Gorn pirate who's gunning for your head and attempting to fill the power vacuum you created in the previous mission. He leaves you a death note and they square off for a classic quick-draw. Battle Discretion Shot as they fire. Next scene has Law walk up to you and give a nonchalant shrug, then note that he looks a little stupid for giving you a death note and then surviving. | |

The Far Side parodied this numerous times: One strip mentions that before its replacement by its sharper cousin, duels in the West involved fighting with Bowie... spoons. Another has cowboys playing ping pong instead, with the duel still being treated with the same level of gravity. A cowboy gets beaten to the draw by a sloth (which is naked except for its guns and cowboy hat.) A shooter wins against his "opponent", this time a chicken who just threw eggs at him. "Anytime you're ready, Slim". Judging by his shadow, Slim is literally a stick-figure. "Shoe's untied!" |

In Borderlands 2, the final mission involving the Sheriff of Lynchwood has her challenging you to a duel. Subverted in the fact that her idea of a "duel" involves being surrounded by a posse of mooks and taking potshots at you from the rooftops behind cover. Nonetheless, she uses a pistol as her primary weapon and one of the bonus objectives is to defeat her with a pistol. | |

The Stage 3 boss in Lethal Enforcers II: Gun Fighters is a quick draw between you and three mooks (six if you have two players). The duel starts with your opponents telling you "When we draw, start shootin'." But if you even try shooting them before they draw, you'll be told, "I said you can't shoot 'til we draw!" | |

In Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, you (and the enemy) can now strafe left and right around each other. Dueling revolves around keeping the enemy in the center of the screen at all times, since the cue to fire can come at any time (with a bell sound). At the same time, the player has to use the mouse/right stick to keep their character's hand close to his gun (but not too close or the hand position will be reset!) to reduce the drawing time. Once the bell sounds, the player must reach for the gun and shoot the enemy as the aiming reticule slides from the ground up. | |

Bleak Expectations: During a visit to America (which, unsurprisingly, turned out to be a trap), Pip Bin gets into one of these at the Alright-I-Suppose Corral. Problems ensue when it turns out he and Mr. Benevolent have jumped the gun for a shootout at the stroke of noon, as it were, and it's not even half past nine in the morning. Also, Mr. Benevolent cheats, giving Pip a literal "Bang!" Flag Gun. The scene even replicates The Music, with a crying baby, a creaking gate, a spectator tapping his foot. | |

Parodied in Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 1: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal: After Guybrush has rearranged the mysterious wind idol near the Vaycaylian Wind Control Device, De Singe arrives with a rifle and demands that Guybrush surrender his Poxed hand. A brief period of staring silence follows, complete with close-ups of both Guybrush's and De Singe's faces in a style parody of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly before the former breaks the silence with "Make me!" and the latter pulls out the rifle and shoots him sky-high. Of course, Guybrush is still alive when he lands on the ground and gets up. | |

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly has a three-way showdown. In a cemetery. It also provides a Standard Snippet for these sorts of scenes. It also features a subversion in the opening moments of the film. Three men dismount on opposite ends of a dead silent little town, two of them traveling together. They walk ominously towards each other, eventually stopping almost within arms' reach in front of a saloon. They reach for their guns, draw... and all three rush into the saloon and start shooting at Tuco, aka the Ugly. |

Howard the Duck had one of those, complete with cuts between the faces and bad guy throwing the side of his Badass Longcoat back to reach for his gun more easily... Except that there was no gun - the bad guy was an interdimensional demon inhabiting the body of an innocent scientist, versus an anthropomorphic duck armed with a BFG strapped to a golf-cart. | |

One of the two legal forms of duels in Honor Harrington and known as the Ellington protocol. It's regarded as less socially acceptable than the alternative Dreyfus protocol, which is Ten Paces and Turn. In the duel Honor fights, she's able to put 4 rounds into her opponent (a professional duelist), firing from the hip, before he can even get a single shot off. |

Looney Tunes: Bugs Bunny literally expands the town for Yosemite Sam in the cartoon Bugs Bunny Rides Again. Sam doesn't care. Spoofed in the Daffy Duck cartoon "Drip-Along Daffy": Daffy and Nasty Canasta stalk towards each other along an excessively long street, but before a single shot is fired, Porky defeats Canasta with a wind-up toy soldier... with a ridiculously powerful musket. The crowd already has Porky up on their shoulders when Daffy, still walking towards the showdown, realizes what happened. |

In the original Call of Juarez, the duelists start off facing each other while a visible timer counts down. When it reaches zero, both of them reach for their guns (the player has to move the mouse/right controller stick down and back up again) and shoot. Most fights end if a single bullet hits, and you can also lean left and right to avoid incoming bullets. On one notable occasion, you face two enemies at the same time. | |

Avengers Assemble: In “The Ultimates� a thief is trying to open the door from a building, and when he’s almost close, Black Widow founds him, and faces him on a Duel, with an almost Close-up to Black Widow Eyes but with the absence of a Tumbleweed the thief almost makes draw with his crowbar, but she makes her final Draw and stop him with a kick, winning the duel. In the episode Westland, some of the Avengers travel in time back to the Wild West Times, and obviously, some Western Showdowns were going to be featured: Involving Wasp, when the some of the Avengers enter to a Saloon, all the people want to capture Vision, starting a classic Saloon fight, while that, a Cowboy challenges Wasp to a Western Duel, along with other Cowboys with their guns, Wasp accepts, along with a intense music, and an almost Close-up to Wasp eyes, she uses her yellow blasts as her Draw, shooting the cowboys guns, then she kicks all of them and wins the duel. |

Time Squad: In a homage to spaghetti westerns and Tex Avery cartoons, the episode Billy the Baby offers a scene where Tuddrussel, acting as the real outlaw in place of Billy the Kid gets involved with the Sheriff With No Name(Clint Eastwood Expy), who demands a duel at high noon. The next day when they meet, it is a dramatic moment as they stand in the middle of the road, tumbleweeds roll between them, townsfolk run for cover and it takes you right back to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. | |

Subverted all to hell in an early scene of Wyatt Earp. The first gunfight of the film is between two angry drunks, staggering around about ten feet from each other and firing wildly. Both men shoot each other at about the same time, and we (and young Wyatt) are treated to the sight of one of them bleeding out from a shot to the crotch while a horse that caught a stray bullet screams in pain until it's put down. | |

Spoofed in the Daffy Duck cartoon "Drip-Along Daffy": Daffy and Nasty Canasta stalk towards each other along an excessively long street, but before a single shot is fired, Porky defeats Canasta with a wind-up toy soldier... with a ridiculously powerful musket. The crowd already has Porky up on their shoulders when Daffy, still walking towards the showdown, realizes what happened. | |

In Castle Hangnail, when Molly challenges the Evil Sorceress Eudaimonia to reclaim the castle, Eudaimonia makes a snide comment about beauty sleep and declares they'll fight for it at noon tomorrow. The sentence "This castle isn't big enough for both of us" is uttered. Molly, however, is pragmatic enough to start her counterattack early, and a good thing too because it turns out Eudaimonia wasn't just being dramatic, she would have had a magical advantage if they'd fought at noon. | |

Also happens frequently in Red Dead Redemption as a random event, in some parts of the story, and if Marston is caught cheating at pokernote This results in an easy way to farm honor: if you shoot the gun out of your opponent's hand, you get honor points, in addition to the fame you would get for just winning the duel. Then you can go back to the poker table, get caught cheating again, and repeat as necessary. | |

When the standoff is broken by Bubbles screaming for help, the same sequence of close-ups repeats with the girls having confused expressions, and in the extreme close-up, each girl smiles, showing they're finally putting their differences aside for the sake of saving their sister. | |

Overwatch has the character Cassidy, an Expy of the Man With No Name. When using his ultimate Deadeye ability, Cassidy will drawl "It's high noon..." and fire a kill shot at each target in view once the attack charges. There's even a tumbleweed. Cassidy will always say "It's high noon" even on maps where it's clearly twilight or night time, leading to Memetic Mutation that he has a very bad perception of time. The writers realized this, and later gave him the voice line "Well, it's high noon somewhere in the world." The "Reunion" short has Cassidy in a quite literal showdown at high noon against his ex-partner and general ex Ashe, as well as her gang when they blow up a train containing a package that they're after, but which Cassidy wants for himself. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: A portion of Prince Zuko's A Day in the Limelight is a blatant pastiche of the Western showdown — in a world resembling mid-nineteenth century China, so not as far from the Wild West as one might think.

The Episode “Bullseye!� begins with Linda having a Showdown on creating the "junk sculpture" for the upcoming Modern Installation By Moms Charity auction, with an Close-up to her eyes, while also being asked by both Phineas and Ferb, at the end of the episode when a man in a truck tries to take Linda's junk sculpture away, Linda puts the last piece on the sculpture, a coat hanger, meaning that she won the Showdown, while Candace watches in disappointment and shock (Because she thought that the junk sculpture was the boys latest Big Idea and tried holding off the man in the truck long enough for Linda to show up, thinking she was finally gonna bust Phineas and Ferb). Perry and Doofenshmirtz parody this in "Doofapus" during their fight, platypus style. |

Lucky Luke: One gag has multiple pairs of people waiting in line for their shootouts. That is, lined up behind each other. On all four branches of a crossroads. The Tenderfoot sets up one at the climax, but the titular tenderfoot, an Imperturbable Englishman, calls out the trope and insists on the ten-steps-and-turn-method instead, which completely destabilizes the villain, a veteran of the quick-draw form, even moreso when his shot appears to go wild. On seeing the Englishman yet to fire, the villain begs for mercy, after which the Englishman reveals he'd been hit in the arm, and the pain was simply unbearable. One story had an I Just Want to Be Badass guy ask Luke for help impressing his fiancee by winning a gunfight. Unfortunately, his aim is so bad Luke has to duck despite standing behind him. In the end when he challenges Luke, he ends up shooting down a criminal, who was robbing a bank behind him, completely by accident, and this reputation is enough to keep desperadoes out of town ever after. |

The New Yorker in the 1960s parodied this trope in a cartoon showing a samurai movie in which two samurai with swords drawn are facing each other prepared for this sort of showdown with the subtitle "Kyushu isn't big enough for the both of us!" The Nov 17, 2003 issue also parodied it by having the cowboys draw caricatures of each other instead, but with bystanders reacting to it with the same amount of horror as a more violent duel. Of course, it was done by Gary Larson himself. |

Once Upon a Time in the West has variety B between the hero, supporting his noose-hanging brother with his shoulders. The eerie harmonica music accompanied by this scene overlapping with the showdown is the harmonica being pushed into the hero's mouth at the time of the execution. It comes together perfectly as the hero guns the bad guy down. | |

Back to the Future Part III: Marty asks Buford if he wants their showdown to happen at high noon, but Buford insists that he "does [his] killing before breakfast." Ultimately, the film provides a Double Subversion of the trope when Marty refuses to take his place in the duel, but is forced to anyway. However, he still refuses to actually shoot Buford, relying instead on a Bulletproof Vest ploy. | |

Teen Titans: The year: Present Day. The place: a forest in TV-land. The time: right now. A water ski and life jacket-wearing Robin squares off with the Off-World Outlaw. On the sidelines a grizzly and a Steve Irwin Expy hold their breath in rapt attention.

Happens twice in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, with the same Western-loving character. The first time, you're in a typical shootout with him, but you can choose to stand out in the middle of the battlefield, which will cause him to engage in a quickdraw fight with you. The second time is right at the end of the game, where he challenges you to another quickdraw shootout, with the added excitement of not knowing which of the guns have a bullet in them. In a subversion, the bullet is blank no matter what happens. | |

In Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, you can no longer move but instead use the WASD keys/left stick to control how close Silas' hand is to the gun (which reduces the drawing time), while the mouse/right stick is used to keep the aiming reticule on the enemy (who can move and throw off your aim) in order to generally slow down time when the duel starts. When it does (usually after a preset time), you can use WASD/left stick to dodge bullets while drawing the gun and firing. Once again, there is a Dual Boss mid-game, and the Final Boss is a three-way duel with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. | |

There's a Nintendo Light Gun game called Wild Gunman, which revolves around two cowboys dueling in a deserted field in the noon. A version of it appears in Back to the Future Part II as an Easter Egg. Wild Gunman was recreated as a microgame for WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$, while WarioWare: Smooth Moves features an original western quick-draw microgame inspired by it. Lastly, Wild Gunman also serves as the basis for a Quick Draw minigame in 1-2-Switch. | |

It was actually at sundown, but at the end of the Beast Wars episode "Coming of the Fuzors Part 1," the Predacons rally around Megatron and the three Maximals ready their weapons, before both sides draw their guns in classic shootout fashion.

Subverted in Live A Live. The Wild West chapter features a showdown between the Sundown Kid and Mad Dog... only for them to both shoot into some hay bales instead of at each other to take out some of the Crazy Bunch hiding there, as Mad Dog doesn't want anybody to interfere with their duel. They do it again at the end of the chapter after O. Dio is defeated, but it's presented as a regular boss battle instead of the showdown they had previously. | |

Deadlands features a full set of rules—in the core rulebook, no less—for conducting such a duel, including justification for the "cue known only to the gunfighters" bit: drawing second made things pardonable in the eyes of the law, so the lead-in to a proper duel consisted of head games intended to make one's adversary draw first, with bonuses given to the rolls of players who can come up with truly terrifying intimidations or biting ridicules to put in the mouths of their characters. | |

Red Dead Revolver, being a love letter to the Spaghetti Western, has this as a frequent occurrence. Not only is there a Whole-Plot Reference to The Quick and the Dead, but a showdown is how you defeat the final boss. Also happens frequently in Red Dead Redemption as a random event, in some parts of the story, and if Marston is caught cheating at pokernote This results in an easy way to farm honor: if you shoot the gun out of your opponent's hand, you get honor points, in addition to the fame you would get for just winning the duel. Then you can go back to the poker table, get caught cheating again, and repeat as necessary. Red Dead Redemption 2 features them in a similar capacity to its predecessor. There's even a chain of side quests involving tracking down several legendary gunslingers and then being forced into a duel with each one. |

But its immediate sequel Star Wars: The Bad Batch would have one of its own, although at night. In The Reunion, when Hunter and Omega return to the Batch's ship, they find all the Clone Troopers dead at the hands of Cad Bane, who's after Omega after being contracted by Lama Su. Hunter and Bane face each other down and draw While eagle-eyed viewers could see Hunter drew his blaster first, Bane proves to be the faster shot and takes him down with a shot to the chest armour. Unlike A New Hope and its Special Edition remake, there's no debating who shot first, folks. While not actually stated, Bane's appearance in the next episode with a cybernetic plate on his forehead suggests the aforementioned duel with Boba in the unfinished arc may still have happened. | |

The Mega Man remix-band The Megas make the battle between Megaman and Quickman sound like an embodiment of this trope. It's all built up with Quickman as the "sheriff"; with lines such as "Quick on the draw, in this town I am the law. Is what they say true? Does death wear blue? Can he fall?" The conclusion comes with "My circuits slow. I'm not scared anymore. Reach for my weapon and in turn you're reaching for yours. My circuits slow. What they said is a lie. The shots are heard and the bullets scream death as they fly", essentially also making this an example of a Single-Stroke Battle. In the end, the winner is Megaman. But what did you expect? He's the hero. | |

High Noon, despite what one would think, actively subverts this, as the hero sneaks up behind the gang of villains, gun already drawn, and yells for them to drop their guns before shooting one in the neck and leading to a tense chase. Furthermore, noon only marks the arrival of Frank Miller and co., not the showdown itself. | |

A version of this starts off Justified. US Marshal Raylan Givens has given a murderous thug 24 hours to leave Miami or be shot on sight. As the deadline is about to pass, Raylan sits opposite his quarry at a terrace restaurant, giving him one last chance to run. The thug draws, and Raylan kills him. The extremely public nature of the shootout (and rumors about the 24 hour deadline) causes a massive PR headache for the Marshals Service and while the shooting is deemed "justified", Raylan is reassigned to Kentucky, where several characters challenge him to similar contests over the course of the show. | |
