Quite. Doll. Bad.

The film industry, especially the US, is full of riddles, and "Quick and the Dead" sounds (ed) them: who financed the strip who the script (obviously) approved and who rumgekriegt the actors to cooperate ,

One possibility, at least, that Gene Hackman (who even then quite different, could see 'Mississippi Burning' or 'the company'), Sharon Stone (whose films after 'Basic Instinct', however, usually first flopped) and Leonardo DiCaprio (not yet ' Titanic fame, but insanely good in 'Gilbert Grape - Somewhere in Iowa' just driven) by money worries or punished with bad agents were when offering this limited strip.

The story is as simple as it is already told umpteen times: Bad Man (Hackmann) bullied as mayor the town of Redemption, like also with smoking Colt. Because he is bored, he invites annually adventurers, scum and bandits for mutual Revolver duel where the winner can win a thick pile of money. This time also compete: be misunderstood sentient teenage son (DiCaprio) and an unknown beauty with limited facial expressions and silly leather clothes (Stone). Because Hackman knows that one of his old comrades partout no longer shoot, but only wants to pray, he forces those with the bulk of the duelists. And because he knows that the few remaining good people of Redemption merged and sent an attached him Killer into the race, he changes the round rule 'has left, who dies'.

Then geballert decent, the camera provides sharp happy times through the remains of a head on the victorious opponents or sunlight winking through a bullet hole in the body. In between, the director served unceremoniously at the gallows scene from 'play me the song of death' to '- will disappear gradually blurring and so a clear is that Sharon Stone a score to settle with Gene Hackman has open - as in the original. And so on until the end of the film after 100 minutes. Btw: The quickest way that had got around in Denmark - since the strip played a whole 1500 R $ (not a typo). Tscha.
