Yeah. We didn’t know what to do with this either. This does not stop us from discussing movies that live up to their titles at the 45-minute mark of the Qt3 Movie Podcast of The Handmaiden.

Thanks, Dingus. Certainly captures what the movie is about, doesn’t it. I love this movie because it’s the essence of the western: The duel in the sun at the stroke of high noon; the single-combat hero taking a stand against evil. And it’s got Grace Kelly.

Look Who’s Talking Too

Big Trouble in Little China

Snakes on a Plane

Edit: Oh, and The Terror of Tiny Town, which is kind of underrated for that kind of Poverty Row western. The hero was brave and handsome, the heroine was plucky and winsome, the villain was dastardly and wore a black hat. It threaded the needle between being exploitative and providing representation for an underrepresented minority.
