Gene was a frightening presence in this movie, he really conveyed what a dangerous man Crowe's character was when it was the only time he took a gunfight seriously when they faced off
I like that Cort is shocked to see that he shot the gun, he was ready to die but that drink glass triggered his survival instincts. At that point his body was operating separately from his mind
this movie tanked when it was released with critics giving it a hammering. decades later its become a cult classic considered to be far ahead of its time in both style and framing technique. film makers are only really just catching up now with cgi....
It cost a ton of money to make for a western at the time. Well over twice as much as the much better and successful Unforgiven. Entertaining at times, but not a great flick. Interesting thought how it had established stars like Hackman and Sharon stone and up and comers DiCaprio and Crowe who became mega stars.
Cort mentally was preparing to die by praying but his body was so hardwired it was like breathing for him to draw and fire . I think this was such a deep moment because it forces us to ask the question even if we redeem ourselves our deeds never leave us
@QuEsT_x. I disagree, I think he was praying to God to help him make the right decision or give him the STRENGTH to make the right decision! He doesn't want to die!
I have to disagree aswell. I think you put some of your own emotions in there, as I fail to see how this forces us to ask this question. I think you just wanted to sound philosophical xD Your old deeds DO leave when you're redeemed. If you think you're redeemed and still have your old deeds, you were never redeemed IMO!
@@oShadowkun bro you’ve been stalking me all over RUclips you always change profiles and just troll whenever I comment.. and 43 individuals seem to agree with me you loser
It could be also interpreted as Cort wanting to reedem himself by going after John Herod. This desire to survive and kill/redeem Herod is greater than his acceptance to just die in the hands of the outlaws.
I can't believe this film was panned. I literally can't believe it. The gorgeousness of both Crowe and Stone is practically unbelievable. Hackman is good as always and a grotesque villain. DiCaprio plays a great cocky kid. The machinations are all great. It's one of the best westerns ever. Critics are stupid. Raimi is a superb director, OBVIOUS in the shooting and detail work just in this scene alone. Total master.
Yes, you are correct. It's a little funny, this is one of my wife's favorite movies. One of my favorite movies is Army of Darkness. I had no idea until about 15 minutes ago that Sam Raimi directed both of them!
"His reaction was automatic, instantaneous, inbred. He whirled on his heels while the hands pulled the guns from their holsters, the butts heavy and sure in his hands."
I wouldn't feel too bad. The supply of hops was unsteady back then, and water quality issues and barrel contamination were common. In this backwater run by bandits on a dwindling supply with no refrigeration, you could expect a piss-warm, sickly-sweet beer tasting vaguely of minerals and dirt from the well water, with an increasingly spoiling, rotting taste.
One of the best examples of "The lord works in mysterious ways". She rescues a man who was going to be executed the same way her father was slated to die, only to find out later that that man used to ride with the man she's here to get revenge against, a revenge plan that later would have failed if not for the man she rescued.
And this is one of the best examples of why you shouldn't be drinking on the job. Maybe... just maybe, the guy who was up against Crowe would have won had he not been inebriated?
Hmm agree to disagree her plain might have work if not for two things. 1) the mercenary the town pays to join and fight him 2) his son being killed in the tournament. Up till this two things happen he’s pretty consistent he knows he could die he wants it in some small way or why eles bring in a gun fighter who’s as good as him but was more brutal he’s sons death took away any chance of a legacy other then as the outlaw the town took away his self imposed image of a good man after that the matches became to the death and the fighters stop joking back that’s what screwed it up
@seanbraley2772 Idk man the movie seemed designed to make it seem plausible that this could've been God's work. That the reason he drew the gun was not because of instinct, but instead because God himself worked through him. I'm not religious, but even I can see that this was a big part of the movies themes
@@marksprague1280 for a remake i liked it. But, yeah, i will usually find the orignal superior. Probably helped that they had many of the few good modern actors in it.
Man what difference in Russel Crowes physique, comparing to him now a days he’s a totally different looking dude. His performance is epic nonetheless, he’s such a great actor!
Great movie, characters. It reminds me of Once Upon A Time in The West as that had Charles Bronson as a kid seeing his father Killed by Henry Fonda and the harmonica he stuck in his mouth., With Bronson Seeking revenge against Fonda
@@Dave.S.TT600 This movie is Sam Raimi’s homage to those great spaghetti westerns like those directed by Leone and others… it’s not a masterpiece like “Once Upon a Time in the West,” sure, but for what it is, it’s not bad
One of my favorite western showdown movie with Russell Crowe showdown on the street of The Quick and the Dead💯💯💯👍👍🍿🍿💗💗😍!! Great movie and cast of a actors and actresses❤❤😊😊👍👍💯💯!!
can we just appreciate how good a villain gene hackman was? honestly, who was a memorable badguy over the last 20 years? hans landa comes to mind but other than that? genuine question.
Great question. A few years before this movie, Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) in Die Hard would have been another memorable villain. I’m hard-pressed to think of another one within the past 20 years though, outside of Hans Landa. Waltz’s portrayal was absolute master class.
Ralph Fiennes in any movie he played as an antagonist, Javier Bardem in No county for Old man (or Skyfall), Mads Mikkelsen in Casino Royale or quite recently Stellan Skarsgard in Dune. I could go on. There are quite many memorable movie villians - this just does not take away any glory from Hackman who is really great actor.
@@vrASMR180 Depends on a person - for me if we make a extend the time period for several more years Ralph Fiennes as Amon Göth in Schindler's List would be first with Bardem for his Anton Chigurh in no country... coming close second. If I had to choose 'evil genius' type I would still go for Mads Mikkelsen' s Hannibal (although I did not like the series itself). And the list changes as time flies - I remember not liking Marlon Brando's colonel Kurtz portrayal - after 20 more years I find his performance more compelling. So there is a constant move on my list of performances.
I have got this movie DVD of Russel Crow with Gene Hackman Pat Hingle Laurence DaCaprio and Sharon Stone in The Quick And The Dead I am dedicating this movie DVD to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris and Hester Brand from Billyxxxxx
The Western equivalent of a Chinese Wuxia movie. A subculture of martial artists who somehow acquire years of experience shooting each other with lethal weapons. A fantasy, but strangely compelling.
it's exactly that, grotesque but so well done, the staging, the lighting which is all sublimated, the acting, this film is not afraid of big things and it does it well.
Cort activated Ultra Instinct and Vaapad when it comes to shooting. Reason why he was the only person Hackman/Darth Shooter Character only truly feared.
Ну что сказать.....фильм моего детства,самая первая видеокассета была куплена именно с этим фильмом)) Обожаю те времена и такие фильмы с культовыми и харизматичными актерами))
I hate that critics have a problem with a Western being a Western. It’s a genre full of tropes, which is why they get hit with claims of being generic so easily
1:54 What is it called those guys with the rifle? I always see that type of characters in a wild West movie. They always look badass and deadly despite not being seen a lot
Remarkable how like 10 pistoleers shoot straight up into the ceiling of a drinking establishment several times.......and not even one wooden splinter falls let alone 1000.......ahhhhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhh 😅😅😅😅😅....westerns and movies in general ALWAYS gets this wrong.....we noticed.....
I can't believe Hackman worried about much in film. Not sure where the energy came from, but it was in every performance I ever saw. There must be some clunker Hackman films, but I don't know which ones they are.
They should be knowing not to mess with Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius
This is an interesting scene. Cort's opponent assumes Cort is there for target practice being now a pacifist and all. Preacher Cort. I love the opponent's bleat of complaint. He Cort shot me! 😮 Yes he did😊 amen!
I think Cort would have taken out all of them if the competition continued!... Lady and the Kid no chance..Herod maybe close but Cort would still have a quicker draw...just my thoughts!

Similar role in unforgiven... you can cut paste his performance between both movies...😊
I like that Cort is shocked to see that he shot the gun, he was ready to die but that drink glass triggered his survival instincts. At that point his body was operating separately from his mind
Even if were a born again follower of Jesus Christ nobody wants to die we always fight to live.
No…he was acting
Maybe he was ready to die; but God didn't want him to just yet.
and then Hackman's evil cackling that Crowe is as evil as he is, when Crowe deeply wants to redeem himself.
Mind: "Go with grace... go with dignity... go home to God...."
Body: *"No."* 🗿
this movie tanked when it was released with critics giving it a hammering. decades later its become a cult classic considered to be far ahead of its time in both style and framing technique. film makers are only really just catching up now with cgi....
That’s because critics are self important egotistical narcissists.
It's agony...
Not everything liked is "cult" lol
Its a live action western that plays like a cartoon western. That's all the praise it deserves.

A fabulous directing/editing job from Raimi. That absolute mind focus when it counts the most. Even if you don't want any of it, it's still there.
Sharon Stone was one stunning woman.

Never underestimate your enemy
I like to think that Cort is just Ben Wade from 310 to Yuma. I know its not the case but I think it works.
The real one with Glenn Ford, or that crappy remake?
The remake was good
@@CrashCarson14 It was just another car chase movie put on horseback. The original was too subtle for today's ADD set.
