The Quick & The Dead (1995) - 8 Minute Final Scene - Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe

As with so much in director Sam Raimi’s canon, The Quick and The Dead had the dumb luck of coming out at just the wrong time.

While the Western had been ascending in terms of appeal at the start of the 90s, by ’95 the tides had shifted so that major Hollywood productions were in decline. There was enough uncertainty that producers were not confident for much of the film’s production history.
From casting a very early career DiCaprio (coming just before Titanic and international stardom, DiCaprio would ultimately be paid out of co-star Sharon Stone’s salary), to bringing in a fresh-faced Russell Crowe, and script rewrites still ongoing just weeks before shooting, producers were still trying to steer the ship long after it left port.

Gene Hackman getting shot in the eye, which leads to a very clumsy cut of a stuntman doing a quite frankly sick backflip, is pure cinematic gold.

sam raimi pulling a winner out his pocket

[@bigfoot163]

Thats a joke right

[@jasonjansen9831]

Classic Raimi. He knows exactly what he is doing.

[@markescario3389]

They should not release this one with the backflip. But still a hit.

[@aman12214]

Who in the world though that up

[@spidey3471]

The motivation was even deeper than you expected. You assumed he killed her father, classic origin story. I love the twist because it explains why she became obsessed with being a marksmen gunslinger.

[@blocknyname]

To be fair she could have tried to shoot for the far end of the rope

[@the_cursor]

This movie should have come with a post-credit scene showing she died a few days later from an infected gunshot wound because she dramatically rode off into the sunset instead of seeing the doctor. Granted, it was the Old West so her chances with the doctor were 50/50.

[@kutter_ttl6786]

Pour a little whiskey on the wound, she'll be back to normal in a jiffy.

[@SKITNICA95]

maybe she had bulletproof vest

[@wesleycook7687]

It was a flesh wound. It's the movie that actually died..

[@gnarlycat]

I don’t think she cared much if she lived or died afterwards. She finished what she had set out to do.

[@TheRealBDouble]

Sharon Stone was not only great in this movie, but got damn she looked great

[@radk88]

Underrated movie

[@Marius8316]

Very, very underrated

[@PhenomenalOrg]

Herod was nervous, you can see his left hand was shaking before the clock.

[@danielpartida1439]

Because Herod knew Cort was just as fast as he was if not faster. Cort was really the only person Herod ever feared up to that point.

[@daustin8888]

So...the bullet moved slow enough for Gene Hackman to observe it and scream, but also had enough force behind it to flip him over? So it is both the slowest and most powerful bullet ever seen in a movie. That's fucking hilarious

[@billstaff4655]

I thought it was funny Gene had time to scream before the bullet hits him too.

[@twofiveb]

Yes. Hollywood is famous for defying the laws of physics. 🤣

[@rajib2k5]

Bollywood defies physics so much that you'll think Hollywood is Fulbright scholar

[@GrimJackal]

Wow. This straight up becomes a cartoon in the final duel. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but I also laughed my arse off.

[@spidey3471]

I hear ya. The hole in the belly is a little too looney tunes for the tone of such a good film

[@brandonp.6051]

Haha, same. But that's what I love about Sam Raimi.

[@billstaff4655]

I also thought the shadow with the hole in his belly was improbable & so was funny.

[@dune7824]

@@billstaff4655 The backflip on the headshot was even less probable. A comedic scene in all.

[@ravensong9030]

Can a villain death be nothing short of spectacular in a more far-fetched way than this?

[@STEKiE]

One hell of a western. But why did the producer's agree with a shot through the chest that showed in his shade .... Same with the backflip....why?

[@macgyver3434]

The backflip was over the top, but otherwise, I love this scene

[@ginnymiller2448]

I've seen this movie countless times since it was new. I never get tired of it. People like to pick on it because of some of the over-the-top, unrealistic actions in the film. I've always equated this story to that of a dime novel. Dime novels were extremely popular in the mid to late 19th century. Writers would often exaggerate and embellish a real story to make it more interesting, hence selling more novels (much in the same way people still do today). I don't know if this was the effect the creators of this film were going for, but if it was, then they did an excellent job. They are not only telling a story, they are tipping their hats to the storytellers that came before them, and the genre itself. Just my two cents.

[@moreththerogue6218]

that back flip tho

[@bobbyricigliano2799]

This is such a misunderstood film. It offers a mawkish nod to spaghetti westerns, with lots of campy humor and dash of pure evil and obligatory revenge. It is at all times hokey and silly, but deliberately so. There could never have been so many A-list actors sharing the screen in an unintentionally awful western flick. It is actually brilliantly made and a jewel of a film.

@@alexasln975 you don't know how to appreciate a movie and you keep comparing it to classics of the same genre as if that diminishes the greatness of this one. Three award-winning actors and Sharon Stone, plus the incredible direction of Sam Raimi.
