Saw it years ago remember that i kinda liked it.
Not really a Sharon Stone fan and Decaprio, a weird looking boy that i have a hard time time taking seriously in almost all of his roles.
Gene Hackman though...love that guy.
Yep, Lonesome Dove is a classic. And really enjoyed the book, which was certainly worth the Pulitzer it received (Larry M.)
Great story.
Yup, and Duvall is a Hoot!
I am not nearly as enamored with la frontera as I used to be as a young man, but I still like to think I’m an Independent, A guy on his own... get in.. get out.. LOL
You’ve obviously never seen Open Range. Check it out. It’s worthwhile.
I just like the misfits aspect of Silverado LOL
A key element of the great westerns is the soundtrack.
Open Range is a good score.
Back in the day at Kent State we did a kinda social experiment.
I got this BIG Audio Horn, you know, like you see at fairs and sporting events.
We hooked that up and blanketed the Campus on Sunday morning with the Soundtrack from “The Good the bad and the ugly”
All the following week, you would hear people whistling... Woo Woo Woo. LOL
I swear upon my soul!
Read too many Ralph Compton and Louis LaMoure westerns to like Quick and Dead. Story is BS..
IMHO, the B&W flashback sequence used to explain the Sharon Stone character’s motivation is a pearl among swine. Gene Hackman delivering his best line cracks me up every time: “T h a t ‘ s...close enough.” As Oscar Wilde said, “a man must have a heart of stone to consider the plight of little Nell, and not burst...out laughing.”
I believe it is also the only film made by Sam Raimi that does not have his signature 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 in it.
Not really a “Western” but Josie Wells is one of my favorites.
yuck. she should have stared him down naked, then I might have liked the movie. How can you waste a cast like that.
Now you would be charged with an anti-Mexican hate crime.
She was naked in the film. I would not want to look at a weathered wrinkled women in her scenes : )
#32 There was probably a horse that had a brand that said Delta 88
I like Mexicans! I like Tuco! I even like Juan Miranda, I just don’t trust them LOL
An incredibly stupid movie that’s still fun to watch.
I didn't realize this was a Sam Raimi film.
Raimi has a very distinct signature and people either get his style of filmmaking or they don't. I like his films but I can understand those who aren't fans.
