Dances with Wolves/YMMV
- Alas, Poor Scrappy: The death of the revolting Timmons is so brutal that it's hard not to feel sorry for him, even though it wasn't very surprising that he died.
- He dies pleading with the Pawnee to not hurt his mules even as he lay there suffering and bleeding out. He was a disgusting little troll with a core of pure platinum.
- Anvilicious
- Awesome Music: Most of the score, but especially the beautiful John Dunbar Theme, which was apparently one of Pope John Paul II's favorite pieces of music.
- Tear Jerker: The death of Two-Socks.
- Unfortunate Implications: Good Sioux and evil Pawnee
- Values Dissonance: How the film was received then and how some see it now.
