Directed by: Barry Sonnenfeld
Starring: Will Smith, Salma Hayek, Kenneth Branagh, Kevin Kline, Ted Levine, M. Emmet Walsh
Loveless tries to change the U.S. back to the way it was in the early 1700s. West kills his three thugs and Loveless falls off a cliff with West but West grabs a hanging body of one of Loveless' thugs. President Grant names Jim West and Artemus Gordon secret service agents; Dr. Escobar is really Rita's husband and not her father; West and Gordon drive off into the sunset piloting Loveless' giant mechanical spider.
