Mexican standoff 1966 Western "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", where the titular characters played by Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach face each other at gunpoint. Director John Woo, considered a major influence on the action genre, is known for his highly chaotic action sequences, Mexican standoffs, and frequent use of slow motion. Director Quentin Tarantino (who has cited Woo as an influence) has featured Mexican standoff scenes in his films like "Pulp Fiction" (restaurant sequence); "Inglourious Basterds" (the tavern scene features multiple Mexican standoffs including meta-discussion); and the climactic scene of "Reservoir Dogs", which depicts a standoff
The Good, the Bad, and Huckleberry Hound The Good, the Bad, and Huckleberry Hound The Good, the Bad, and Huckleberry Hound is a 1988 animated television film produced by Hanna-Barbera for syndication as part of the "Hanna-Barbera Superstars 10" series. The film parodies various Western films; the film's title is a take-off of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". Huckleberry is constantly referred to as a "mysterious, steely-eyed, and silent-type stranger" (though Huck is just being himself), spoofing the Western stock character of the Man with No Name. Several other plot points are lifted from well-known film Westerns, such as "High Noon" and "High Plains Drifter".
