Wild Wild West was a commercial disappointment, earning only $222.1 million worldwide against a $170 million budget, and received predominantly negative reviews.
Plot
In 1869 U.S. Army Captain James West and U.S. Marshal Artemus Gordon hunt for Confederate General "Bloodbath" McGrath, who is wanted for mass murder, throughout the Southern United States. This is due to McGrath ordering a massacre in a settlement called New Liberty, where many of the freed slaves were murdered, including West's biological parents. The search leads to a brothel where the two try (unsuccessfully) to arrest him. It leads to a huge brawl and a cart of nytroglycerin crashing into the building that starts a fire. Both West and Gordon, the latter dressed as a woman, escape.
Later, in Washington, D.C., West and Gordon meet at the White House with President Ulysses S. Grant, who tells them about the disappearance of America's key scientists and a treasonous plot by General "Bloodbath" McGrath. Grant charges the two with finding the scientists before he inaugurates the first transcontinental railroad at Promontory, Utah.
"Wild, Wild West" is a song by The Escape Club from their similarly named debut album, Wild Wild West. The single hit the charts in late 1988 eventually reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of November 12, 1988, making The Escape Club the only British artist to have a No. 1 hit in America while never charting in the UK.
The lyrics, with phrases such as "I love her eyes and her wild, wild hair," "heading for the '90s, living in the wild, wild west," are augmented with gunshot sound effects. Critics have noted that portions of the song bore a strong similarity to Elvis Costello's "Pump It Up" due to the distinct drum beat and vocal patterns during the verses.
The music video is noted for using mirror imaging of actors to give the illusion of disembodied arms and legs.

Similar to the series, the film features a large amount of gadgetry. It serves as a parody, however, as the gadgetry is more highly advanced, implausible steampunk technology and bizarre mechanical inventions, including innumerable inventions of the mechanological geniuses Artemus Gordon and Dr. Loveless, such as nitroglycerine-powered penny-farthing bicycles, spring-loaded notebooks, bulletproof chain mail, flying machines, steam tanks, and Loveless's giant mechanical spider.
Wild Wild West was a commercial disappointment, earning only $222.1 million worldwide against a $170 million budget, and received predominantly negative reviews.

Out to the west there's a trail that leads somewhere And a call of the wild that takes some people there Through Monument Valley to California sun From New Amsterdam to the way the west was won Well, years will go by when you won't get nowhere You're cold and you're tired and you're free and you don't care You keep pushin' on when your friends keep turning back And you keep building towns and laying railroad track And things get crazy and you have to use that gun And you wonder if this is the way the west is won But keep thinkin' that way and you won't get nowhere 'Cause you got a right just to get where you're goin' to Gotta keep runnin', gotta be the best Gotta walk tall in the wild west You keep on the move or you try to settle down And there's strangers from further and further away in town And you give them some tools and they know what must be done And you know who's the boss and you know the west was won And they say Where I come from, you can't get nowhere I'm breaking my back for some opportunity Making my fortune and I'll take it all home Tell my kids about the wild west And there's still beauty as the flowers bloom on desert sands And there's still hope as the sun rises over the Rio Grande But it's so crowded now and nothing's simple anymore And they're still knocking at your door You hear guns in the night and you hope they're not for you 'Cause a dog eats a dog then he eats his master too In the land of the free and the not so often brave There's both love or money now choose which you will save But keep thinkin' that way and you won't get nowhere 'Cause you got a right just to get where you're goin' to Gotta keep runnin', gotta be the best Gotta walk tall in the wild west Keep thinkin' that way and you won't get nowhere 'Cause you got a right just to get where you're goin' to Gotta keep runnin', gotta be the best Gotta walk tall in the wild west Gotta walk tall in the wild west
