The Quick and the Dead is a 1995 American revisionist Western film directed by Sam Raimi, and starring Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe, and Leonardo DiCaprio. The screenplay was written by Simon Moore, but includes contributions from Joss Whedon. [ 5 ] The story focuses on "The Lady" (Stone), a gunfighter who rides into the frontier ...
Parents need to know that The Quick and the Dead is filled with Western-style violence in the form of shoot-outs, gun and rifle play, fistfights, knife fights, and hangings. There also is a scene in which the rape of a young girl by an older man is strongly implied, and, in a flashback sequence, a young girl is forced to shoot a gun at her father, who is on the verge of being hung by bandits ...

'The Quick and the Dead' is a Sam Raimi directed Western made in 1995, long after the supposed golden age of the genre. It is, like so many other Westerns, a straightforward story, but with a novel plotline. The scriptwriter Simon Moore has taken one staple ingredient of the cowboy movies of old - the duel - and made it the centrepiece action for t...

Redemption is a small Western town under the control of a vicious overlord called Herod. What Herod says, goes. And he has said there is going to be a gunslinging tournament in which 16 of the fastest guns around will shoot it out in properly organised duels for the pleasure and gratification of the people, and for the gratification of Herod himsel...

The characters played by the four leads are Herod (Hackman), Ellen, or 'Lady' (Stone), Cort (Crowe), and The Kid (DiCaprio). All are favourite cliches of the Western genre - respectively they are the ruthless land baron who owns and runs the town, the pretty woman who in this movie also happens to be a crackshot, the quiet confident gunslinger, and...
I’d like to draw particular attention to Sharon Stone. I suspect that this actress has never really been taken seriously by many ever since that notorious scene in ‘Basic Instinct’ for which she is best known. The first three films I ever saw Stone act in were the aforementioned ‘Basic instinct’, ‘King Solomon’s Mines’ and this film. In King Solomo...
Perhaps the line which encompasses best what this film is all about, and how this dueling contest can take place in this town, is delivered by John Herod, who authorizes it and dicatates what exactly will happen. He has just learned that one of the 16 was hired by the townsfolk specifically to kill him: 'All I hear from you, you spineless cowards, ...
Sharon Stone's acting abilities are discussed above. In this film, she also has significant other responsibilities. Stone was signed on as co-producer of The Quick and the Dead, and as such she wielded very considerable influence. First, she insisted on Sam Raimi as director. Second, she insisted on casting of two relatively unknown actors - Russel...
All the gunfights are worth watching. The outcomes for the most part are fairly predictable, although it gets a little harder to foresee what will happen when the final four line up against each other. The rules of the gunfight contest decree that only one should be left standing at the end, but it is difficult to figure out how that can be, especi...
The biggest negative is perhaps a point already made - this film stands or falls on the suspense to be had from watching a duel between two ace gunfighters; that suspense is severely diluted when it's pretty obvious which one is going to win, and in most of these contests, it ispretty obvious. The other negative I think is the silliness of some of ...
