Yes, but that Leonardo di Caprio - I dunno, I don't think he has the chops for acting. Probably not going to see him in several of the most successful films of all time.
"I wouldn't know a place that's cheap enough for you". I love the smirk on Leo's face replying to Gene Hackman's request. It shows confidence. Later we see Leo injures Gene in the duel which proves his ability of being on the same level. Love it.
@Brenden Lee it all over the comments section of most videos on RUclips saying things like even the great Gene Hackman couldn't save this dumpster fire of a movie. Review site like metacritic, rotten tomatoes, and IMDb usually rate it around 50/50. Now that score has come up recently as the movie has started to gain a following much like a cult classic. Like most cult classics, they started off with tons of dislike. 10-15 years ago, nobody had anything good to say about it.
This movie has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. I love a good revenge story, and I love the parallels between the present and the past and how Cort eventually gives the final kill to Ellen. He's the faster shot, and could take it while Herod is down or distracted, but Ellen has spent her entire life working up to this moment. Whether she dies from her wound or not, she NEEDED that kill.
Honestly, both Cort and Ellen had had their entire lives ruined by Herod, so both of them were entitled to that kill. But you are right that Ellen arguably needed it more, if only because of Cort's pacifist values.
@@XanderVJ And Cort could and did find peace without it until he was drawn back into it. Compare that to Ellen though, who has literally lived and trained her entire life for this moment. She's be happy to see him dead, but deep down, she needs to pull the trigger to truly avenge her father.
1992’s Unforgiven is arguably one of the greatest Westerns ever made. I mean, I like Tombstone, but it’s close to a comedy. And this one is a B movie at best…
Hackman is a fantastic *everything* . He never mailed in any role he ever plaid; a true actor that would disappear behind every role he took. One of the best actors of his generation.
1:16 Herod praises Cort even as an enemy, many times in the movie, to the point where he likens Cort to himself. Like a son he's always wanted. Makes you wonder what kind of person Cort was back when he was still in Herod's gang. How much of a ruthless gunslinger he was back then.
I'm so proud I saw this in the movie theater. I knew this was going to be classic when I saw it. I didn't expect Russell and Leonardo DiCaprio would have became big stars.
This is one of my favorite movies. Great characters, cool gunfight, and the best of all, Leo Dicaprio spinning the cylinder on that gun and marking it up like a complete noobie 😂.
This is a summer popcorn western, an escapist revenge fantasy for an evening's enjoyment. Don't take it too seriously. It is little different from the more recent "Magnificent Seven", which was in a similar vein. Solid performances and good effects. Likeable heroes (and heroines), tragic characters and some really contemptible villains. Why people would hate this movie is beyond me.
I love this movie. I only wish the scenes with Bruce Campbell had NOT been edited out. (I still have not forgiven Fox for cancelling "Brisco County Jr" in the 1990s).
Never knew there was a Bruce Campbell scene!?! 😵😮😱Know if it's out here on YT? And I agree wholly about Briscoe! I always thought had the series continued one story arch could have lead him and Bowler to Nevada, into what would become Area 51.
2:26 this is perhaps my favorite revolver. Smith & Wesson Schofield .45. Invented in 1875. Jesse James did say it was one of the best guns of its time and he was well known to use a Schofield in fact he carried two all the time. Before the Schofield, Jesse James preferred to have a Colt .45 Peacemaker. I use this gun in the game Red Dead Redemption 2 and it’s the best revolver in the game so they got that accurate. It has never failed even in the game.
True, but that's been discussed endlessly in the movie forums. The first models of the Peacemaker went for $17.50 for a basic model. Engraving was an extra dollar. A Cowboy's entire salary for a month was about $20.00. I suppose they didn't want to say it's historical real price, because folks don't know how much our DOLLAR has devalued over time.
The greatest western ever tombstone had us all foaming at the mouth for more not realizing you need a palette cleanse this is that film its fun with great cinematography. And legendary actors adding just the right amount of 🧀
I mean its no TombStone but its not supposed to be. Its a fun western. An it has alot of great actors. I think it was done well. I didnt even know people hated this movie. Its a bit corny, but I could watch it over an over.
The irony was a few years before this Gene Heckman would play a character that would bring much of the romantic elements of the west like the quick draw were crap. Even doing a quick draw himself but admit that's as fast he can draw and hit something unless he's aiming at a barn.
A strange fantasy film, set in the "Gunfighter West" of "The Fastest Gun Alive," "El Dorado," and "The Gunfighter," where the entire populace is fascinated by duels with guns, where there so many gunfights that there is a popular mythos about them and about gunfighters, and where a small town can somehow support an actual gun shop. Allowing for how unreal all of that is, "The Quick and the Dead" is almost hypnotic with its abstractness and tightly written characters.
No gun fighter would walk into the street and draw against his opponent: he'd have his gun in hand when he walked out-- there were very few "fast draw" men and fewer duels in the sun (they're a made-for-movies phenomenon). Source: Wyatt Earp's autobiography. Read and learn. And barrel length was what the company made for accuracy, not fast draw.
When I was growing up, I was really big into film, I still am I guess, and in the 80's and 90's guys like Gene Hackman, Craig T. Nelson and Harrison Ford were sort of like silver screen father figures for me. This was one of Hackman's least appreciated roles, but I love the subtle psychotic intensity of Herod, he has aged and is running a town now, but underneath your can feel something writhing with outlaw rage...waiting for another moment to take it to the edge...and the only person who could give him that sensation again was someone from his past, reformed Cort.
The couldn't believe the preacher shot him. He should be ashamed of himself for going after the preacher who didn't want to fight or draw a gun. That's cowardice on that man's part
One thing I just realized. Foy is one of Herod's men. So that means Herod knew that Foy wouldnt stand a chance against Cort in a gunfight. Just another example of Herod's callousness.
I like this Russell Crowe. I predict he's going to have a run of excellent films and performances from 1997-2005.
he already peaked in romper stomper.
Are you not in a time machine !!!!
you a prophet or somethin'?
Thats like 200 years away dude

On the same level? His Dad blew his guts out, correct?
@@codymoe4986 He had the potential to be on his same level. Kid's fatal mistake was to think that he had reached his peak already.
Cort was pacing like a wild animal listening to Leo describe and play with those guns
Did you notice him touching the silver handle of that one gun, when Leo went for the super cheap one? 3:30
@@crazylarryjr dang. i never noticed it til you pointed it out.
He was getting a semi on
@crazylarryjr Haha...I never noticed that one before. Nice little detail that's easy to miss
That's basically me when I walk into a gun store.
I really don't understand all the hate on this movie, I always liked it.
Same I own it Blu ray
There's hate for it?? It's as great a Western as any other! People are weird....

@@kevinthomas4930 Haven't seen any of that. It did pretty well on video tape and DVD. It's an ok movie.

The revenge part was mediocre... The rest was decent.
This and Tombstone were my favorite 90s Westerns.
And Maverick with Mel Gibson
Maverick and Wyatt Earp were also top tier.
Doc Holliday ❤
I agree! I really liked Cowboys and Aliens, too!
1992’s Unforgiven is arguably one of the greatest Westerns ever made. I mean, I like Tombstone, but it’s close to a comedy. And this one is a B movie at best…
I do like the genuine line "it shoots straight I wouldn't sell it blah blah" - just adds a tiny bit to Leos character in the film
I thought when he cheekily said to Herod, "I wouldn't know a place that's cheap enough for you" added quite a bit to Leo's character.
Movie was great at building characters
Quality businessman. You want people to keep coming to your store and tell their friends about it, you don't sell defective crap.
One film I have never forgotten. It had everything.
Hackman is a fantastic villain.
Who else was in this movie?
The best!
Hackman is a fantastic *everything* . He never mailed in any role he ever plaid; a true actor that would disappear behind every role he took. One of the best actors of his generation.
This was the movie Hackman did AFTER he declared he had retired after doing UNFORGIVEN.
He was 💩 in this movie and unforgivin
2:00 man!!! that Army 44 is beautiful
Little too shiny for my taste but yes I agree very beautiful.

This movie and the 13th warrior are 2 guilty pleasure flicks from the 90s for me lol
13 warrior omg such a great movie
Why? They’re both great films.. released today, they’d be 100m films, we just were more spoilt in the 90s..
No guilt in this.
@@VictorLugosiThe 13th Warrior didn't even made Top 50 the year it came out. In 2023, it would easily be Top 3.
No one should ever feel guilty for watching The 13th Warrior
I liked it in a later scene when Ratsy had 15 seconds to get out of town. "Time's up, Ratsy!"
I'm so proud I saw this in the movie theater. I knew this was going to be classic when I saw it. I didn't expect Russell and Leonardo DiCaprio would have became big stars.

"Are you not entertained...?"
Not really
*This movie really had some great cinematography ,writing and acting*
It's all the western cliché's in 1 movie. And it's a blast for it.
LOL ...its realy one of the worst "big" movies i ever seen.
Some of the cinematography surrounding the gunfights seems like it took inspiration from old samurai films as well as westerns and I can dig that.
I don't know this movie at all, but this clip is great, and Russell Crowe's acting is excellent.
This is one of my favorite movies. Great characters, cool gunfight, and the best of all, Leo Dicaprio spinning the cylinder on that gun and marking it up like a complete noobie 😂.
The dialogue the story writing.. a female hero.. a hero with a twisted past.. awesome villain.. this is a movie👏👏👏
Masterpiece ever.
Can’t believe he didn’t break that counter putting that 5 dollar gun down😂
Was thinking the same thing, Guess glass in that time was built different

really puts things into perspective when someone hits a dude in the face with one lol

I liked it, a real bubble gum western. I wasn’t expecting High Noon when I tuned it in, nor did I want it. It was fun.
@@Bootmahoy88 You perhaps mean that you weren't expecting "Open Range", eh?
this movie is what it is, but magnificent 7 on the other hand is wasted potential through and through
@@CriTicOfsOrts You actually think The Seven Samurai is wasted?
I miss Gene Hackman in acting. Was great actor when was active in it.
Stole the movie for sure
Hackman was good in everything he did. "Hoosiers" was my favorite.
I miss him myself, Along with many millions and millions of other fans of his…
He was great - really liked him in Narrow Margin
Leo is an excellent salesman
He looked so disappointed with that sigh when he said to get the cheapest piece of scrap gun after going into detail of the high quality ones he had
Also this movie is what made me fall in love with western weaponry
He would probably be a successful stockbroker or something…
Sounds passionate about guns
Didn't seem to notice when Cort grabbed for a round and tucked it away.
I love this movie. I only wish the scenes with Bruce Campbell had NOT been edited out. (I still have not forgiven Fox for cancelling "Brisco County Jr" in the 1990s).

Brisco was top flight
Nor should you! I wanted to know what happened to that orb in Brisco
Wholeheartedly agree.
Bruce Campbell is the man and should've been given better roles.
I love this movie so much.
Love this movie and contains great actors/actresses!
Who is the pretty actress who guns down Horrible Hackman´s character?
Man, those guns! Always gets me reved up
2:26 this is perhaps my favorite revolver.
Smith & Wesson Schofield .45.
Invented in 1875. Jesse James did say it was one of the best guns of its time and he was well known to use a Schofield in fact he carried two all the time.
Before the Schofield, Jesse James preferred to have a Colt .45 Peacemaker.
I use this gun in the game Red Dead Redemption 2 and it’s the best revolver in the game so they got that accurate. It has never failed even in the game.
Massively underrated movie
The kid’s prices are way too high. $120 in late 1800’s money for a standard Colt peacemaker is ridiculous.
People are idiots these days, you couldn't say something was "$20 in 1880", and have them believe it was a expensive thing.
True, but that's been discussed endlessly in the movie forums. The first models of the Peacemaker went for $17.50 for a basic model. Engraving was an extra dollar. A Cowboy's entire salary for a month was about $20.00. I suppose they didn't want to say it's historical real price, because folks don't know how much our DOLLAR has devalued over time.
Sippy and demand. He’s the only gun salesman in this town.
🤣🤣🤣
I know right? $120 for a standard colt army? Dude for that price you could buy 12 Winchester 73’s plus a box of shells for each.
Love this movie
0:42 broke that nose lol.
If that other fighter was any slower, he'd have birds nesting in his hat.
Good acting all round good actors good script, whats not to love❤❤❤😊😊

Great movie

that was his preparation for gladiator
At least he doesn’t have tigers jumping out of trap doors trying to slice him.
good movie it was fun to watch for what is was
Herod is a great villain.
"if you live to see the dawn it's because I allow it!"
This movie is still great
I give 5 of 6 for this film. Love it.😊
I loved this movie too. Live and let live.
1858 Remington conversion, from black powder to cartridges.

I love this move
Very underrated film.
The zoom was overused and that effect hasn't really aged well but it's still an excellent film overall.
I love this movie. Leo was allowed to use a gun with 12.😂
Criminally under rated movie.
"I want that one"
"No, come along Cort!"
"Are you talking to me?"
"No, my son is also called Cort."
People have this obsession about fast drawing in westerns. Poor accuracy gets left in a corner.
Very true, a lot of the guns people know and love were not very accurate
Its a stupid fantasy, ffs. Leave the accuracy at home.
The irony was a few years before this Gene Heckman would play a character that would bring much of the romantic elements of the west like the quick draw were crap. Even doing a quick draw himself but admit that's as fast he can draw and hit something unless he's aiming at a barn.

Gene Hackman. What a character actor.
Thank you Hacker! Happy 4th of July! 🧨Stay safe.
Those hand guns makes my mouth water.
Meh, all the chrome is gaudy.
When Gene Hackmen says No Where Is Cheap that’s a good quote in todays world
Nowhere AS cheap, bro! Completely different
One of my favorites western movies for sure
Cort is a gunfighter no matter what.
My third favorite western of all time... (behind Once upon a time and unforgiven)... Quick and the dead is just fun
He's so afraid of Cort he only gives him one bullet.
Why those guns are so shiny ?
Chrome plating was developed after 1900.
Nickle and silver have been around a lot longer than two centuries.
Hackman is awesome.
04:04: damn right he pulled lol
was expecting him go "are you not entertained?"
2:24
Just as true in RDR2
lmao.. I read "R2D2"
Moments like these id just for the refuse to sell
Serious question: Does spinning a gun around like that actually tell you anything about how well it handles/fires?
Gunslingers would never use revolvers with such long barrels : increases drawing time dramatically.
If you want to get real, no one would put a town in the middle of nowhere: no railroad, mine or water
It was the cheapest gun!
@@robertluong3024 Not just the cheap one.

What is music that starts at 6:52 ?
How do you tell when someone has gunfighter hands?
They're the one still standing with a gun in their hand.
If a cowboy spits it always means that he is a badass ;)
A good villain means a good movie. Mr. Hackman is always a good villain actor.......🙂🙂🙂
4:17 me getting my life together
My late dad loved Hackman. He used to always say that there’s never been a bad movie with gene Hackman in it. He was right.
Gene Hackman the best villain in the 90s western films. 😁
Definitely. I hated him as Little Bill in Unforgiven.
It’s funny how this movie wasn’t taken seriously when it came out but now it’s viewed so differently. Like Sleepy Hollow.
