YMMV / Dead in Tombstone

Go To

  • Complete Monster:
    • Lucifer is the master of Hell, whose sadism and cruelty have no bounds. Running a Fire and Brimstone Hell where countless souls are constantly tormented, Lucifer personally tortures souls using all manner of painful implements, going so far as to brand his victims and bite them. When Guerrero de la Cruz offers to kill his entire former gang and send their souls to Hell, Lucifer gives him 24 hours to accomplish the task, undermining Guerrero's efforts and shaming his conscience the whole way for his own amusement. Even once Guerrero succeeds, Lucifer still forces him to wander the land and kill dozens more sinners so that Lucifer can slake his sadistic desires on them sooner. When Guerrero eventually breaks free of his bonds, Lucifer turns to Col. Jackson Boomer as his new agent and guides the man in his quest to bring Hell's legions to invade the Earth.
    • Red "Rojo" Cavanaugh is Guerrero's treacherous half-brother with ambition to rule an entire town. Turning a relatively smooth bank heist into a shootout by killing unarmed innocents, Red then betrays and murders Guerrero to take over their gang, wholly ungrateful for the amount of times Guerrero took care of him and saved his life. Red then takes control of the town of Edendale, renaming it "Tombstone" and turning it into a hellish den of rape, torture, and murder as he and his men run rampant. When Guerrero returns from the grave seeking vengeance, Red cares not one lick as his men are picked off one by one—actually threatening several of them himself—and he winds up taking Guerrero's ally Cat as a hostage, proclaiming his intent to rape her and then let his entire gang do the same.
  • Ham and Cheese: Mickey Rourke is clearly enjoying his time playing The Devil in this flick.
  • Narm Charm: It's a somewhat paint-by-numbers revenge western that has about every trope that a typical western film indulges in. But it has Danny Trejo and Mickey Rourke in it, and that makes it enjoyable for what it is.
