      Stone is indeed a woman among women

      Those who haven't watched the film don't have to watch it. The biggest achievement of this film is that Stone can recognize people with his eyes.
          In 1995, Aunt Stone was a front line, with a devil figure and an angel face, but as the purest woman, of course, she wanted to find the most manly man, so an Australian turtle and a hairy boy were summoned to the account by Stone. , Even at the expense of lowering their worth to support the two younger generations,
          these two men...

      Beautiful bullet

      The four superstars on the DVD cover can already be the guarantee of the box office of the film. Of course, Russell Crowe in 1995 has not yet become the emperor of the Oscar, and Leonardo DiCaprio has not yet become a heartthrob with "Titanic". Therefore, this film can also be regarded as a work of potential stocks ready to go. Sharon Stone, who is prosperous and majestic, mainly shows violent beauty in the film, and does not have the stunning performance in "Instinct" at all. Therefore, this...

      Sharon Stone is the biggest failure

      If you give the protagonists a score of 4 stars for Gene Hackman, the consistent level of Russell Crow, Leonardo DiCaprio, 2 stars, especially Russell Crow’s tender and old killer roles do not match Sha Ron Stone is too inconsistent. The 1 star is not too tender, but too old, with a shriveled figure, and his eyes are ignored. There are many similar Western Revenge movies, and the similar protagonists are very attractive, and the supporting roles are also good. For this movie, Sharon Stone...

      Sharon Stone's acting skills are so terrible

      In this film, she is the only female protagonist. Even so, among a bunch of male actors, she can easily be brought out. However, no matter what inner drama she plays, as long as the close-up is on her truly beautiful face, she will only-turn the left eyeball to the right eyeball, or vice versa. It was so bad that it was useless except for that face. One of the reasons why I can last up to 58 minutes is to "let me miss" this former goddess--but she makes me not even have any illusions,...

      "Fatal Pleasure" Rarely Seen Female Westerns

Ellen also got acquainted with Pastor Curt, a former servant of Herod, and Curt did not kill people less before. Kurt is now a pastor and was captured by Herod. So many heroes gathered in the town because Herod was going to hold a well-known shooting competition. There were four rounds in the...

      Since it's a movie I watched when I was young that made my soul bang again, it's understandable to give it an extra star. At that time, Leo was so tender, Sharon Stone was so charming, the whole film was full of yellow sand and the environment was boring and full of pleasure... I still remember the small pistol on her thigh when she was having dinner with the old man. Oh, it's really red fruit....

      Looking at the name, I thought it was a suspense movie, but it turned out to be a Western movie. The story is really rotten, the plot is rotten, it's really rotten. Sharon Stone's setting is really inexplicable. At first, I thought it was a giant cow. After a long time, it was really superfluous to show two tits. I want to give 2 stars, not 3...

      Although it is not a top-notch work, the whole play has love, hate, cause and effect, clear logical thinking, and more big-name actors. This is a duel that can only be fought by a real brave fighter, just like Leonardo Di Caprio said: "To be respected". An American western movie worth savoring, although the plot is too thin, it does not affect the overall structure of the...

      The director/screenwriter is really a bit bad. The name is Sharon Stone, which is actually paving the way for Russell Crowe. It's not the stars who support the moon, but the dogs who are addicted to the moon... The film is a very stylish western, and the tone screen and soundtrack are all It's very good, but the good aspects are all here. The heroine is really weak compared to the rest in terms of acting. The end of the duel is too exaggerated, and you can fly with a headshot. Damn, you did it...

    Movie plot

    In a small town in the western United States, there is a bully named Herod. He kills people and overtakes them, and he does nothing wrong.

    Tidbits

    In order for Eugene Allen Hackman to star in the film, the producer changed the filming location from Durango, Mexico to Tucson, Arizona.
    All the actors who appeared in the shootout scenes in the film received rapid-fire training. Because of the limited time for appearances, the well-prepared Eugene Allen Hackman became the fastest actor on the set.
    In the film, the villain Herod and the small town named "Redemption" both deliberately...

    Background creation

    In order to pay tribute to Sergio Leon’s Italian westerns, Simon Moore completed the script outline for the film at the end of 1992. He believed that the protagonist of the story should be a woman. Moore initially hoped to make "The Quick and the Dead" an independent film, directed by him, shot in Spain or Italy, with a budget of only 34 million U.S. dollars. In May 1993, Sony Pictures bought Moore's screenplay, and two months later it...

    Evaluation action

    The plot of the film is not complicated and a bit boring. The director is Sam Raimi through the film to show the audience his creative style. Cinematographer Dante Spinotti's control of the lens is one of the few highlights of the film. Although the storyline of the film is ridiculous, the villain of Eugene Allen Hackman is very impressive. In comparison, Sharon Stone's performance is a bit dull. (Reviewed by film critic Roger...)

    Movie quotes

    • Kid: [after being shot in a gunfight by Herod] Shit, that was fast!

      [Falls to the ground]

    • Ellen: Don't you even want to fight back?

      Cort: Sure. I'd like to kill them all for what they've done. But I won't. Killing people is wrong.

      Ellen: Some people deserve to die.

    • John Herod: Mr. Hanlon, I wanted to ask you about Indian Wells. Did that fight really take place?

      Ace Hanlon: It sure did.

      John Herod: And it's true that you gunned down four men?

      Ace Hanlon: Two with my left hand. Two with my right hand. You see, the truth is that I am just as good with either.

      John Herod: You must be the fastest gun in the west... That, or the biggest liar.

      Ace Hanlon: It's a pity you weren't there to find out.

      John Herod: [laughter] Oh, but I was, Ace. You see, I was the one that really killed the Terrence brothers, and I doubt if a lying little chickenshit like you was even in the same state.
