Mayor John objects to this treatment, but Jake does not care. Instead of simply pushing the woman to signing, Jake immediately takes her up into his coils, laughing and taunting her. During the scene in which Beans is being made to give up her ranch, Mayor John calls upon Jake to persuade her into signing the papers. He seems to derive pleasure from instilling fear in those around him and causing violence. Unlike a common mercenary, who kills people only for cash, Jake is sadistic and loves his job. ![]() Like many antagonists, Rattlesnake Jake exhibits significant antisocial behaviors: he is cruel and vicious he is mostly seen using violence to threaten others, and shows no mercy to his victims. Jake never used the venom again in the film. This references Rango falsely stating that Jake is his brother and that he is immune to his venom, and that he uses Jake's venom in his coffee to give it a little kick. Like all diamondback rattlesnakes, he can inject a strong venom with his fangs: in the film, this venom is seen only once, when Jake arrives at Dirt and meets Rango for the first time, the serpent balances a shot glass atop his Gatling gun and fills it with his venom, mockingly offering it to Rango as a drink. This is quite impressive, considering the fact that Gatling guns are known for having poor accuracy. A prime example of this was shown when he was seen for the first time in the film he shot down the Sheriff sign with his Gatling gun, without damaging anything or anyone else. Jake uses his Gatling gun with both speed and accuracy. He is a large animal and uses this to his advantage. He can slam his bodyweight around in powerful waves, knocking over anyone or anything in his path. When he wishes, he can use his coils to squeeze the life out of anyone small enough to fit in them. The kung fu fighting technique of the Jake is using his whole weight to get around quickly. A Gatling gun rattle replaces his natural rattle, which he either lost in a battle (probably with the Hawk) or decided to remove and replace. He has a black cowboy hat on his head, and a lot of bullet bands on his body. He also has a "moustache" made by some black scales on his upper lip. His eyes are yellow-orange, and as an allusion to how he comes from Hell, they have fiery irises. He has the typical fangs of a rattlesnake, which contain deadly venom, and a black snake tongue. Jake is a western diamondback rattlesnake, and he has the same appearance of the real species. Rango turns Mayor John over to Jake, the two exchange a mutual tip of the hat, " From one legend to another," and Rattlesnake Jake slithers off into the distance with Mayor John in his coils. After Rango's deft escape from the bank using his last bullet, Mayor John is left prone and at the mercy of both Rango and Jake. Jake sees that the cowardice that was once in Rango's eyes is no more and gains a new respect for him, withdrawing from the conflict as Mayor John calls Rango towards the bank. Rango takes the opportunity and turns the tables on Jake, aiming his revolver with a single bullet directly at Jake's face. However, Jake soon realizes the facade and starts to shoot wildly at the bats, eventually draining his ammo completely. Rango then tricks Jake into hiding with the aide of the moles, flying through the air on bats in a hawk-shaped formation. ![]() Once the water main begins to flow, Jake is thrown into the air by a spout of liquid. In a mock standoff, Rango lures Jake over a covered mole hole. However, before Jake can kill her, Rango returns and a skirmish for Dirt begins. ![]() Beans continues to deny the Mayor what he wants, so Jake pulls her into a death squeeze after an exchange of threats and insults. Jake sees the cowardice in Rango's eyes and hisses, " You ain't got the nerve." After driving Rango out of town, he and Mayor John kidnap Beans, trying to force her to give up her family's ranch. After confronting Rango and publicly outing him for all he's lied about, Jake mockingly asks him to pull the trigger and shoot Jake with just one bullet. Rattlesnake Jake makes his debut just as Rango begins to appease an angry mob of Dirtfolk. Rattlesnake Jake was initially brought into the plot by Mayor John to be used as a hitman, after being mentioned several times by townsfolk to instill fear of the character in the audience. ![]() Bill Nighy, Jake's actor, describing Jake. The fighting style of the kung fu Rattlesnake Jake is very complex, but let's just say he has a tail
