Factual error: When they show the capital building in Washington DC it is still under construction, but it was actually finished in 1864 - 5 years before the movie's set.
Wild Wild West (1999)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Barry Sonnenfeld
Starring: Will Smith, Salma Hayek, Kenneth Branagh, Kevin Kline, Ted Levine, M. Emmet Walsh
Loveless tries to change the U.S. back to the way it was in the early 1700s. West kills his three thugs and Loveless falls off a cliff with West but West grabs a hanging body of one of Loveless' thugs. President Grant names Jim West and Artemus Gordon secret service agents; Dr. Escobar is really Rita's husband and not her father; West and Gordon drive off into the sunset piloting Loveless' giant mechanical spider.

Dr. Arliss Loveless: Why y'all look like you've seen a ghost? It's me, dear friends - alive and kicking! Well, alive, anyway. We may have lost the war, but heaven knows we haven't lost our sense of humor! No, not even when we've lost a lung, a spleen, a bladder, two legs, thirty-five feet of small intestine, and our ability to reproduce - all in the name of the South! - do we ever lose OUR sense of humor.
Trivia: In the good guys' train, where you see all the guns in the wall you will see a noisy cricket (from Men in Black) and when he gets back to the train in the empty gun case you will see in the foam the shape of the noisy cricket after it was removed by the bad guy, just before Jim West has to settle for the belt gun and the belly dancer's dress.

Answer: Arti saw Rita at the Saloon earlier in the movie; Arti (as the cross-dressed redheaded woman) shoved Rita out of the line up to be choosen by Gen. McGrath.
Good Job!
