Why schultz kill candie

Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Throughout the scenes leading up to this moment, after Candie forces Schultz to pay 12, for Broomhilda, Candie repeatedly says things to Schultz such as: You're just upset that I got the better of you not an exact quote , implying that he outwitted Schultz.

So Schultz essentially committed suicide, just to win a battle of egos? To me, such recklessness would be inconsistent with his character's behavior through rest of film. But maybe that was the point -- maybe that's how upset Candie made him. ShaneFinneran not so much reckless as vengeful. Immediately prior to this he was contemplating via flashback the scene of dogs attacking and killing the runaway. His moral sense that Candie deserved to be punished may have neutralised his risk aversion and allowed vengeance to dominate.

That explanation makes sense, Matt - thanks. Although I took the flashback to the dogs as Schultz thinking "he's going to kill us anyway, so I might as well take him out. ShaneFinneran I'm not so sure Candie was really going to kill them. In fact I wondered why he didn't and waited for something sinister to happen, but in the end I'm not that sure he was really going to kill them, but who knows.

Christian now that you mention it, I might ask a second question about what Candie had in mind His actions ended up putting them in grave danger. In his own words: "I couldn't resist.

Everyone has moments where their emotions overrule logic. I also suspect, as did some others in the theater that Calvin was just using that as a ruse to get him close enough to possibly kill him as well as Django, then keep Broomhilda and the money. This makes sense, since Candie's claim that the bill of sale wasn't legally binding unless there was a handshake is patently ridiculous.

You could argue as much as you wanted in a court of law, but if the contract's properly signed and notarized which it was , there's no way it's not legally binding unless one of the conditions of the contract was broken. I wondered the same thing myself after I got out of the theater. I figured:. It's not the most sensible plot twist ever. But not much about this movie is "realistic" in any way, and I don't think this hole or flaw is too big to ruin my enjoyment of the film, particularly since it works well enough with Schultz's personality.

He could have shot the man holding the shotgun first. Candie didn't have a weapon and couldn't have done anything about it.

He could have shaken hands with Candie, walked out the door, then turned around and shot one or both of them in the doorway before making a run for it, thus initiating an exciting chase scene. He could have returned to his room, then killed Candie some other time before leaving.

It could have been a cat-burglar kind of job. Schultz humorously suggests that the innkeeper calls in the sheriff rather than the marshall. After killing Sheriff Bill Sharp , Schultz and Django were then greeted by the armed residents and the marshall himself.

Schultz uses a clever advantage to prove that he is in fact a bounty hunter and Django is a freeman. After dealing with the sheriff, Django tells Schultz about his time with the Brittle Brothers and Schultz promises Django freedom and payment for his service. Schultz then finds out that Django is married. Traveling from Texas to Tennessee, the duo went to the Bennet Plantation where the Brittle Brothers are currently located.

At the plantation, Spencer G. Bennet, the owner harrasses the duo because Django has the priviledges that a white man has. Schultz manages to cool Bennet's attitude by offering him money and telling him that Django is a freeman.

Schultz rushes to Django and asks him of Ellis's location. Django points him to the fields and Schultz snipes down the last Brittle. Approached by an angry mob that is lead by Bennet, Schultz once again uses his clever advantage to get rid of Bennet and his angry mob.

Schultz became aware that Bennet will hunt him and Django down so Schultz set up a trap for Bennet and his mob to come. Before hiding, Schultz puts a pack of dynamite in the dentist sign.

As Bennet and his mob came, they started to madly search for the bounty hunters but far from the dentist wagon, it is shown that the duo are seen on top of a tree, with a rifle in Schultz's hand. Schultz then ignites the dynamite by shooting the dentist sign which killed almost all the supremacists.
