The Grand Duel functions as a standard genre piece that relies heavily on traditional 1970s Western clichés. The narrative structure prioritizes masculine archetypes of justice and conflict, centering the story on men's control over the story and physical confrontation. Since the film adheres to established genre conventions, it lacks the multi-layered character development or the disruption of social hierarchies necessary for a higher diversity rating. The focus remains on a singular, conventional struggle for justice against a corrupt power structure.
