In response to Andrew inquiry of Scifi film that have Western genre characteristics, one film would be Robocop. The hero heavily employs Western conventions in battle and has a high code of ethics for enforcin the law. Some themes of Robocop are anti-big business and exposing the corruption of commercialism and technology. Look into this film because it definately has parallels to the Western genre.
