One of the tropes of Westerns is you have an experienced gunfighter who meets the young cowpoke who has some mission that he has to accomplish, and it’s the old, experienced gunfighter who teaches him the tricks of the trade: teaches him how to draw his gun, teaches him how to kill. Whether it be Kirk Douglas teaching young William Campbell in Man Without a Star [King Vidor, 1955] or Brian Keith teaching Steve McQueen in Nevada Smith
[Henry Hathaway, 1966], or actually most of Lee Van Cleef’s spaghetti Westerns that aren’t with Sergio Leone—that’s kind of Van Cleef’s role. Now, you go to the kung fu films, that’s always the case. There’s an older guy teaching the younger guy and sending him on a vengeance journey. It’s absolutely fundamental trope of the genre.
