* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Even after being told his name and the place where he wronged him, Bogue still can't recall why [[spoiler:Chisolm might have a personal vendetta against him.]]

Added DiffLines:

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: Red Harvest vs. Denali. Denali is set up as Bogue's [[TheDragon dragon]] and Red Harvest's EvilCounterpart, Red Harvest intervenes with Denali coming after Emma, and you think you're going to get a long battle of the two BadassNative warriors going at it. Nope. Denali gets all of two good moves in before Red Harvest pokes him full of holes, snaps off a PreMortemOneLiner, and kicks him down a balcony to his doom. The entire thing lasts maybe sixty seconds, if that.]]


Added DiffLines:

* FriendlySniper: Robicheaux... although with an unfortunate dose of ShellShockedVeteran. [[spoiler: He gets over it by the end, just in time to face death by Gatling.]]


Added DiffLines:

** BatmanGambit: Chisholm's own tactics count primarily on Bogue's hubris, and he says this to everyone explicitly.


Added DiffLines:

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Goodnight Robicheaux is probably example enough, but doubles when you find out his RedBaron: "The Angel of Death."
* NobleBigot: Downplayed with Faraday. He and Vasquez get into it a bit (in fact, his first reaction to seeing Vasquez is something akin to, "Oh, great. They brought a Mexican.") [[spoiler: Also, calling a short, obviously Irish acquaintance of his a 'leprechaun'.]] He's cracking jokes half the time and probably doesn't mean anything by it. He doesn't seem to have any issue at all with the African-American Chisolm [[spoiler: and they seemed headed for a friendship had Faraday survived]]. Given the setting of the movie (1870s-ish), FairForItsDay probably also applies - no pun intended.


Added DiffLines:

* TheStraightAndArrowPath: Played with in the case of Red Harvest. He has a pistol as a sidearm as well as a couple of melee weapons, but only ''after'' he runs out of arrows.

* BaitAndSwitchGunshot: [[spoiler: As Chisolm is strangling Bogue, the latter pulls out a derringer and appears to fire it, but in fact was actually shot by Emma.]]



* BigBadassBattleSequence: The entire final act is dedicated to the final showdown with Bogue's forces.



* ChangedMyMindKid: [[spoiler: Goodnight, unable to bring himself to partake in the fight due to his shell shock, leaves the night before. However, he comes charging back in, guns blazing, during the big shootout.]]

to:

* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler: Horne gets shot with ''four'' arrows, two to the chest, before he goes down. Faraday also gets shot an impressive amount of times before going done (and even then, it takes being blown up to kill him).]]

Added DiffLines:

* PetTheDog: As [[spoiler: Faraday]] lies dying, the chief mook of the group he's facing down gives him time to pull out a cigar, and even helps him light it. [[spoiler: Which backfires, as Faraday uses it to light a stick of dynamite.]]


Added DiffLines:

* TokenMinority: Bogue's got exactly one Native American working for him.


Added DiffLines:

* YouHaveFailedMe: After the Seven first drive Bogue's forces out of Rose Creek and send the sheriff to send word to him about it, Bogue shoots him for his failure.

* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: The movie gives contradictory information about the location of Rose Creek. The valley is stated to be 3 days ride from Sacramento, which would place it somewhere in the California side of the Sierra Nevada mountains. However, the Seven have to go through Comanche territory on their way to the town, placing Rose Creek somewhere in either present day eastern New Mexico, southeastern Colorado, southwestern Kansas, western Oklahoma, or northwest Texas. Also, the movie was filmed in Louisiana and New Mexico, and it shows.

Rockefeller]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelius_Vanderbilt Cornelius Vanderbilt]] were born into poverty and built their massive fortunes themselves.

A 2016 American western action film directed by Antoine Fuqua, and written by Nic Pizzolatto and Richard Wenk. It is a remake of the 1960 classic ''Film/TheMagnificentSeven'' (itself a remake of ''Film/SevenSamurai'').

In 1879 the evil mining baron Bartholomew Bogue (Creator/PeterSarsgaard) terrorizes the town of Rose Creek, as he wants to drive everyone from their lands so he can have the whole valley for his gold mine. After Bogue murders 6 innocent townsfolk while delivering an ultimatum, including Matthew Cullen, his widow Emma (Haley Bennett) seeks the aid of a group of rogues and outlaws to help the people of Rose Creek fight against Bogue. The people she finds are bounty hunter Sam Chisolm (Creator/DenzelWashington), gambler Josh Faraday (Creator/ChrisPratt), sharpshooter Goodnight Robicheaux (Creator/EthanHawke), tracker Jack Horne (Creator/VincentDOnofrio), assassin Billy Rocks (Byung-hun Lee), Mexican outlaw Vasquez (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), and the Comanche warrior Red Harvest (Martin Sensmeier).

Together the seven outlaws will lead the people of Rose Creek into an epic confrontation against Bogue and his goons.
----
!! This film contains examples of:
* ActionGirl: Emma is the best shooter in Rose Creek, being almost on par with the Seven.
* BadassCrew: The posse that Chisolm assembles to is composed by people who individually qualify for OneManArmy status.
* BadBoss: Bogue doesn’t give a single damn about the wellbeing of his employees. [[spoiler:he treats the workers at his mine little better than slaves and opens fire on the town with the Gatling Gun while his goons are still in it]].
* BigBad: Bartholomew Bogue is not only the main antagonist but spends every single second he is on screen [[KickTheDog kicking puppies]].
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The town is saved and bogue and all his men are dead. But four of the seven are dead, along with a significant portion of the townsfolk. And the town is in ruins. Hopefully they’ll serve themselves to Bogue’s gold to repair it.]]
* AnyoneCanDie: [[spoiler:By the end of the movie, only 3 of the 7 are still alive. Most of the townsfolk and all of Bogue’s men are also dead.]]
* DeterminedHomesteader: Most of the people in Rose Creek valley are willing to do anything to protect their land and homes. They just lack the training and skill.
* DeterminedHomesteadersWife: Emma Cullen starts off as this before graduating to DeterminedWidow in the opening scene of the movie.
* DirtyCop: rose Creek’s sheriff is completely in Bogue’s pocket.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: If one of the Seven shoots at something (with guns, arrows, knives or tomahawks) they will hit it, no matter how improbable the odds.
* KnifeNut: Bill Rocks has dozens of knives on him. He kills more people with them than he does with his guns.
* TheMagnificentSevenSamurai: It’s in full effect, given that it’s a remake of the co- TropeNamer.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Bogue treats his miners so badly that they gladly join the townsfolk in fighting him.
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Emma Cullen is the single biggest badass in Rose Creek, and by far more deadly than any of the male townsfolk.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After the Seven slaughter Bogue’s garrison in Rose Creek, several of the townsfolk and all of the hookers decide to leave rather than face Bogue’s retaliation.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Bringing upwards of a hundred men to attack the town might not seem so excessive considering what the Seven did to the goons Bogue left stationed in the town. [[spoiler:Bringing a Gatling Gun]] on the other hand, certainly qualifies.
* TrainingThePeacefulVillagers: The Seven do their best to get the townsfolk ready for the final battle, but they don’t have much to work with in the way of talent, with the exception of Emma.
* WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys: Seriously, where on Earth did Bogue manage to get a hold of [[spoiler:a Gatling gun]] in less than a day?
