A Western movie doesn’t need to have a showdown to be good, but it often helps, right? It’s satisfying to have two (or more) characters at odds ultimately settle their differences through an impromptu or well-planned showdown, with it being inevitable that at least someone will perish by the time it’s over. It’s a reliable way to end almost any kind of movie (see Gladiator, The Last Duel, or just about anything directed by John Woo), and it’s particularly so for Westerns.
