30 Years Later: What Happened to the Cast of ‘The Quick and the Dead’?

In 1995, Evil Dead and Spider-Man maestro Sam Raimi decided to put his unique stamp on the traditional Western by offering a stylish, revisionist cowboy saga of his very own. The Quick and the Dead follows a mysterious gunslinger (Sharon Stone) who enters a deadly quick-draw competition run by the town’s ruthless ruler, Herod (played by Gene Hackman)

A film that fuses spaghetti Western grit with pulp energy and a sharp feminist twist, The Quick and the Dead is packed with Raimi’s signature flair — from the fast, low, single-point-of-view “Raimi Cam” and whip pans to snap zooms, and exaggerated angles.
