* InsufficientlyAdvancedAlien: Although the aliens far outmatch the residents of the Wild West in terms of weapons and other gadgetry, they still are surprisingly primitive in many ways. Their flying machines appear to run on smoky, noisy jet engines, and they apparently didn't invest in energy shields or other advanced protection when preparing for their invasion. The very fact that the aliens can be taken down by a bunch of cowboys and Indians is testament to this trope.
