Amazon.com essential video:
Director Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead) tries gamely to recapture the exotic mysteries of spaghetti Westerns in this stylish but empty film, which stars Sharon Stone as a stranger who comes to the town of Redemption in time for an annual shooting contest. Her real motivations for being there are the stuff that might have found their way into a film by Sergio Leone--in fact, much of this film is a pastiche of Leone's greatest hits, including A Fistful of Dollars and Once upon a Time in America--but one can't quite believe Stone in the role. Gene Hackman gives a predictably solid performance as the town tyrant, and Leonardo DiCaprio is good as a lucky young gunslinger who gets to kiss the heroine. But not even the cast can help this failed project. Raimi brings a lot of razzle-dazzle to his camera work, but it doesn't make the film any more substantial. --Tom Keogh

It"s a shame that you cannot purchase an American copy of this American film in America. I had to send to Austrailia for a copy [ must be viewed on region-free player] that is complete. Europeans and Austrailians can see the complete movie but not us.
The love scene between Ellen and Cort is vital to connect the action in the first half of the movie with the second. We see Ellen's flight from the town of Redemption but not her return, nor do we see what caused the change of attitude ... Read More

Brilliantly weaving classic western themes into tantalizing backstories, unfolding through the interactions of allegorical characters that represent legends such as Calamity Jane and Billy the Kid, combined with the most duel-style gunfights of any movie in history, this is a singularly wonderful work of western cinema. I've seen The Quick and The Dead at least a half a dozen times, and I've loved it more each time. This movie makes your heart beat faster, touches a myriad of emotions, and provides the ... Read More

I bought this for my Father who is into all the old western, war time movies. He looked all over the place for this movie and could not find it, so I looked on Amazon and tah-dah! I ordered it and recieved it within three days, my Father didn't know I had found it. He was so happy, he's watched it at least four times, and now his DVD collection is at around 250 movies. If I need to find something, I know where to go from now on. It's quick and easy.

The Quick And The Dead
[Superbit Version]
(8.5/10)
Back in 1995, director Sam Raimi was at a bit of a crossroads.
After his accomplishments through the Evil Dead series, yet
not yet to his A Simple Plan/Spider-Man level, he made
this fast paced Western that in alot of way feels like both
time periods of himself. However, this Western plays differently
than most revenge types, with a secret woman (played
amazingly well by Sharon Stone) joining ... Read More
