In western film trailers, there are a few primary cliches. A standoff between sherrif and villain will occur, six bullets will be fired, even though revolvers can only fire 5 at a time. The setting with romantic, sweeping frontier landscapes or rugged rural terrain will be shown. The cowboy has a favored horse (or 'faithful steed') that he will be seen caring for at various points of the trailer. he also does a lot of riding on the aforementioned horse, no doubt to save someone tied up on train tracks in spagetti westerns. For example, Roy Rogers' Trigger, Gene Autry's Champion, William Boyd's (Hopalong Cassidy). Westerns may extend back to the time of America's colonial period or forward to the mid-20th century, or as far geographically as Mexico. The lone, cynical cowboy who is trying to be honorable amidst a dishonorable environment. Usually he is lonely because he is a widower, or he was wronged. A strong woman who is the voice of reason, (and probably the love interest) for the "hero."
