Westerns, I guess, portray a more visceral style of living, where government and infrastructure were nearly nonexistent, and people had to use their wits to live their lives. That gives writers and filmmakers a lot of room to explore human emotions and compulsions.

There is a little known Western with a Chinese protagonist (played by a Japanese actor, but hey!) Walk Like A Dragon.
