!Tropes for the film:
* ButtMonkey: Sheriff Edward Gideon. He has to put up with a crafty Swiss-Italian outlaw and an [[EthnicScrappy annoying impersonator... and that's the start of his troubles.
* DisguisedInDrag: All three of the main characters do this to rescue a village's women. Their cover is blown when the thugs tear off Black Jack's small veil covering his mustache, and a fight ensues.
* FreudianTrio:
** Id: Blanc "Swiss" [=LeBlanc=], the LovableRogue outlaw.
** Superego: Sheriff Edward "Black Jack" Gideon, who is stern and inflexible.
** Ego: Sakura, the mild mannered, easily impressionable servant.
* {{Tagline}}: "You'll Laugh Your Saddle Off!".
* ThirdPersonPerson: Swiss "The White" and Sakura "The Yellow" both frequently refer to themselves this way. Swiss does it to express himself as an egotistical bandit, and Sakura is a racial caricature who expresses his servitude in this manner.
