* DarkIsNotEvil: Black Hand Kelly, the hired mercenary, spends his entire screentime wearing black, have some [[PoliticallyIncorrectHero bigoted moments]] (like asking if he can shoot the token Native American character) and is played by iconic villain actor Billy Drago whose resume consists mostly of villainous roles. But he turns out to be firmly on the side of good, even teaching Hiram how to properly use a revolver before he bites it.

* TheSevenWesternPlots: The film falls under the "Empire" story with a WeirdWest twist to it. The plot revolves around a silver mine meant to help a struggling town in TheWildWest, only for a [[SandWorm Graboid]] -- here called a "Dirt Dragon" -- to kill anyone who goes near it. The protagonist starts off as an UpperClassTwit with [[CorruptCorporateExecutive classist tendencies]] who, through trials, tribulations and his new local friends, [[TookALevelInKindness learns to be a better person]] and becomes the hero.

* BaitAndSwitch: When Hiram implies that "Black Hand" Kelly's killing skills might be "hyperbole", he asks Fu Yen to toss him an apple. Everyone assumes that he plans on shooting it in mid-air ([[WouldHurtAChild with Fu Yen right behind it]]), only for him to catch it and take a bite out of it. When everyone tells him they were expecting him to shoot it, he interrupts them by shooting a length of dry beef in the corner, [[ImprobableAimingSkills managing to fill it full of holes at it fell to the ground]].

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The way that Hiram uses Fu Yien (see KickTheDog below) can come across as the actions of an IdleRich asshole that lacks social tact, but it also comes across as the act of a cynical pragmatist who believes that the world is full of exploiters and exploited and that he has been a victim of it, hinting that he isn't as rich as he plays himself off to be.
Added DiffLines:
* KickTheDog: Hiram offers Fu Yien a piece of gingerbread if he collects his peach brandy bottle for him. After he leaves to get it, Hiram eats the last piece anyway, exploiting the boy with a false promise. He then passes it off as a lesson about [[TheCynic how the world works]].
Added DiffLines:
* WeirdWest: The whole premise is ''Film/Tremors1'' [-[[RecycledInSpace IN THE WILD WEST!]]-], with all the trappings one would expect. Everyone has a gun, thick accents with colorful vernacular, black hat outlaws and so on. This western just so happens to have monstrous {{Sand Worm}}s.

Justified, as when hiring him they wanted someone who could easily kill the 'Dirt Dragons', which Kelly had the necessary skill to do, but by the time he arrived they'd already grown into their adult stage.
