Wild Wild West

Untamed American frontier

Wild Wild West refers to a 1999 American action-comedy film starring Will Smith, or to the 1965–1969 television series *The Wild Wild West* that inspired it.

Both blend Western settings with steampunk gadgetry and espionage.

The phrase sometimes appears as an intensified variant of "wild west" to emphasize lawlessness or chaos: Social media is the wild wild west of misinformation.
