Wild Wild West

Stagecoach was more of a love story. It really justified what I stereotyped the era. It was about Gordon and West who meet Rita and both plan to propose marriage. She of course disappointed both of them by announcing she was married to Professor Escobar. It ends with a typical scene of both Gordon and West ride away into the sunset.

In Wild Wild West Dr. Loveless plans to rekindle the Civil War by assassinating President Grant. Only two men can stop him James West and Gordon. The beautiful Rita distracted them.

Wild Wild West seems to be a spin off of Stagecoach. There are many similarities as they both involve a woman that keeps them distracted. Wild Wild West tries to incorporate all the Westerns into one. The newer Westerns have high tech fight scenes and there are more explosions. In both movies they are also on a trip. In Stagecoach they are traveling by stagecoach while in Wild Wild West they are traveling by train. In the end, in both movies we get to see the beautiful sunset of the West.
