History YMMV / TheGreatSilence

* MagnificentBastard: Silence himself, only in the producer-mandated alternate ending. A mute, intelligent gunfighter who lures bounty hunters into drawing on him so he might be justified in ending them, Silence comes to the town of Snow Hill where he organizes a resistance against the wicked banker Pollicut. Seemingly walking into a trap set by the evil killer Loco, Silence reveals he was faking his injuries and exhaustion while wearing a hidden gauntlet to protect his hand before taking out Loco's men and securing victory for the outlaws just before settling down for a life with the beautiful widow Pauline and accepting Sheriff Burnett's offer to be his deputy with a glowing smile.

* EvilIsCool: Loco is a vicious, sadistic piece of work but he is also sarcastic, cunning, well-dressed and played by ''[[Creator/KlausKinski Klaus Kinski]]''.

* CompleteMonster: Loco is a psychopathic BountyHunter who spends the film hunting down a group of Mormons, with every intention of murdering them. When he practically takes a town hostage, Loco [[spoiler:murders the sheriff to prevent his interference]] and when faced against the hero, Silence, Loco has an ambush set to [[spoiler:cripple Silence before [[TheHeroDies gunning him down]]]] and then shooting [[spoiler:his love interest dead]]. He and his men proceed to [[spoiler:murder every one of the Mormons, with Loco smugly adding they'll collect the bounties nice and legally]]. His actions, in the end narration, are noted to have absolutely horrified society and precipitated the end of bounty hunting.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: People of all races and classes just need to get along, dammit!

* LawfulEvil: Loco uses the legal bounty hunter profession to cover his evil acts; his boast is always that his acts have been "all according to the law." This is a form of PragmaticVillainy too, as it helps him to get away with them. Not that it stops him from [[spoiler: killing the sheriff]], of course.
