If you're looking for a Western that changes the game, Sam Raimi is here to help.
When you think of the Western genre, your mind immediately goes to names such as Clint Eastwood, Gary Cooper, Sergio Leone, John Wayne, and Jimmy Stewart. But, what about Sam Raimi? The filmmaker, known for The Evil Dead, Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man trilogy, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness actually directed the best 1990s Western that wasn't Eastwood's Unforgiven.
Sam Raimi's 'The Quick and the Dead' Feels Like a 1960s Spaghetti Western Like all of his genre film efforts, Sam Raimi is the real star of the show here. The Spaghetti Westerns of the 1960s and '70s saw the genre become a more stylized landscape, with directors like Sergio Leone and Sergio Corbucci capturing their films through a more inspired and heightened lens than before.
The rest of the film's cast is filled with '90s "that guy" actors and up-and-coming stars. Since the film is centered on a town-wide dueling competition, there's an understanding that loads of cowboys are going to have to be killed off. The previously mentioned likes of future A-lister Russell Crowe appear, while genre movie favorites Keith David and Lance Henrickson also show up.
