Someone Give Me a Bullet (The Quick and The Dead movie).wmv

The Quick and the Dead is a 1995 western film directed by Sam Raimi and starring Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio. The story focuses on "The Lady" (Stone), a gunfighter who rides into the 1878 Wild West town of Redemption, controlled by the ruthless John Herod (Hackman). The Lady joins a deadly dueling competition in an attempt to exact revenge for her father's death.
Writer Simon Moore's script for The Quick and the Dead was purchased by Sony Pictures Entertainment in May 1993, and actress Sharon Stone signed on as both star and co-producer. Development was fast tracked after director Sam Raimi's hiring, and principal photography began in Old Tucson Studios in Arizona on November 21, 1993. Distribution duties were covered by Sony-owned TriStar Pictures and Columbia Pictures. The Quick and the Dead was released in the United States on February 10, 1995 to a dismal box office performance, and received mixed but generally favorable reviews from critics.
This was Woody Strode's final performance (the film is dedicated to him), as well as the last theatrical release of Roberts Blossom.

Yup, and the thing was, Herod knew Cort was faster than he was.

[@LucianDevine]

How can nobody be talking about the way he fired that 2nd shot? It's gangsta style+, because he held his gun sideways but also shot from the hip, increasing the difficulty, plus he got a head shot. Best shot in the movie by far!

Decreased the time to shoot, though. Loading gate's on the right, he pointed the right side up. He stopped and aimed, he would have died.

[@LucianDevine]

@@RisingAurora Yup, time was def becoming an issue, though I think Spotted Horse was also on his last bullet unless he has a second gun on him.

[@RisingAurora]

@@LucianDevine He was.

[@SSD_Penumbra]

So, fun fact and I know it's not the same gun used here, but the Chinese replica of the Mauser c96 chambered in .45cal was designed to be fired holding it sideways. Chinese warlords in the 1920s would use it in full-auto to clear buildings. It was nicknamed "Bandit shooting". Wouldn't be too much of a stretch to assume that weapons with nasty vertical recoil like the 1851 Navy would be held sideways when fired from the hip to account for the recoil.

[@RisingAurora]

@@SSD_Penumbra Yes, that was a style of shooting back then. See the Bridgeport rig, a mechanism that rotates the revolver at the hip for shooting. However, a black powder revolver has less recoil then you'd think-the powder has a slower, less efficient burn. Modern(ish) smokeless powder tends to burn more violently. This is why cartridge conversion models have to be a steel frame non-break top, and run a cold load. Figured a fact earned a fact.

Doctor my friend is hurt and he won't wake up! *doctor stares at him for a few seconds without even doing a vital sign check* Doctor: Man's dead

All those close-ups made me think I was watching a kung-fu movie.

[@johnerwin9024]

Although dark movie, performances all wonderful, Gene Hackman, this scene, whom I sometimes miss on screen now-

[@aditzaman2702]

Heckman deserve Oscar for this too

Spotted horse speaks truth It takes two

[@TheANDRINGA]

Looked like he loaded something much smaller than a .38 long colt 😂

[@robertarisz8464]

Gene Hachman is great a playing a snake. Love the acting. Loath the character. Well done.

[@JM-yv3mh]

Hackman’s amazing performance in this movie makes his death in Unforgiven even more satisfying - true acting, made me hate him so much! Great job

[@silencedknight]

Sharon stone was pretty in this movie

[@gr769er9]

Court: Don’t worry kid I’m not gonna draw Also Court: checks his gun thoroughly, takes off his jacket, rolls up his sleeves.

It just goes to show, anyone worth shooting once is worth shooting twice...

"Spotted Horse cannot be killed with a bullet." Nobody mentioned bullets.

[@chuckselvage3157]

An underrated western with some very handy actors. Gene Hackman and Russell Crowe are the greatest actors of their respective generations.

[@nawa3236]

No bullet can kill spotted horse.. but two yes. Great movie

[@faerieSAALE]

Gene Hackman is DEATH in this movie - he derives great pleasure in watching people die playing his deadly game - with him the top contender to challenge and defeat if anyone can. He even brings a reformed criminal now a priest back to face him as he taunts and tests his will not to kill - which he is forced to do. Only by deception and can a lost soul, Ellen, who seeks retribution and vengeance against Death for tricking her as a child, into unintentionally shoot and kill her father - the former town sheriff. Ellen and her secret partner - the priest, blow Deaths town to hell with dynamite. and then she faces down and kills DEATH while the priest kills all of Deaths Henchmen. This is a very good movie with lots of details to pay attention too.

[@LucianDevine]

I love this movie. I love how it built up to the finale throughout the entire movie, and even crafted about the only possible scenario where Ellen could actually beat Herod, and even then it wasn't a flawless win. With all the odds against Herod he dueled her to a draw on the first shot before finally losing on the second.

[@FarmersAreCool]

Is he death or the darkside of our self?

[@obliviousmode575]

“Spotted Horse cannot be killed by a bullet!” In walks John Wick with a pencil.

[@Solarsystemrdffdfyyhh]

Hackman made this movie, Pure evil. but spotted horse made it badass.
