When the runt asks him his name at the end he says something like you know who I am and they showed the tombstone with his name. Then he just kind of fades away as he's riding out. I'm fairly certain he's a ghost but I guess its possible he's someone else.



It's a ghost. Some woman even says that the sheriff was (originally) buried in an unmarked grave and that would the spirit restless (or something to that effect)

Everything she did was a ploy to get him to screw her. How about the other lady? 2 counts?

It wasn't rape, she wanted to screw.
She was mad he never came back for more.
She also did this openly to throw it in her husbands face, who was very BETA.

After watching the desperadoes whip him to death, they originally buried him in an unmarked grave, which made his spirit restless. The runt was the only one who tried to help or even shed a tear for him, therefore he decent treatment of the runt.

At the end, the runt was carving his name on his headstone as he left town. When the runt finished is when the spirit faded away.

Awesome movie.

I hardly think so. She was into it on the first kiss while she was in the hay.

I forgot that was in this movie. Isn't that the same thing Johnny Ringo quotes what the priest said in Tombstone?

I always thought Clint was the marshal's brother. I guess I just don't easily go to a supernatural explanation for anything.

Wikipedia says:

"The character of Marshal Duncan was played by the stuntman Buddy Van Horn, a long-time stunt coordinator for Clint Eastwood, in order to create some ambiguity as to whether he and the Stranger are one and the same. During an interview on Inside the Actors Studio, Eastwood commented that earlier versions of the script made the Stranger the dead marshal's brother. He favored a less explicit and more supernatural interpretation, however, and excised the reference,[citation needed] although the Italian, Spanish, French and German dubbings restore it."
