Here are the notes for Chapter 28 of "On the Fine Art of Giving Yourself Advice", Showdown(s):
The two bypass valves
In Rango this is a huge psychedelic set piece. Sorry I couldn’t live up to it.
The ending (compared to Rango)
Rango ended with the dual between Rango (Rarity) and Rattlesnake Jake (Adamantine), with the water surge through the street hole, and him pulling Tortoise John down with him. So I added everything else. It’s a bit bloated, I know.
“Forget it Princess. This is Nowhere. The rules are different here.”
Anyone who’s seen both movies will know that Tortoise John was clearly based on the character of Noah Cross from the 1974 film Chinatown; I at least think the two characters sound very similar to each other as well. The earlier movie explains the madness of its ending with its final line of “Forget it Jake, it’s Chinatown.”
