Did somebody declare September, National Russell Crowe Appreciation Month? This make three Blu-ray releases of his films in one month.

This one's a guilty pleasure for me for some reason. There was just somethin' about it that I really liked (but then I seem to be alone in that thought). It's been a while since I've seen it though, maybe I'll give it a rent to see if I still feel the same after all these years.
Sharon Stones greatest film. Not the best western, but it's entertaining enough I suppose.

You're not alone. I feel the same about it... Raimi injected enough homage to earlier classic/spaghetti westerns, along with his trademark style, to make this a fun ride. Stone was an interesting choice for the non-traditional lead, but Crowe and DeCaprio really came off well, IMO. Hackman was solid, as usual. Too bad no other disc extras--need to explore BD Live more, though.

Whoa! Eddie Vedder in a Raimi directed western? I'm so there.
You'd think Sony would have upgraded this with a commentary or something, seeing as Raimi's made three Spider-Man movies for them. I also want to see the deleted scene with Bruce Campbell as described in his autobiography.
Definitely a must have, Quick And The Dead is one of my childhood favourites. My love/admiration of the Crowe started here - then was swiftly followed up with The Silver Brumby (somehow quite enjoyable), oh youth, where have you gone?
They could of at least included the international version to make up for the lack of features.
Wow...all the names are above the correct faces...Wow.
Shame about the poor special features, or none as the case maybe. I've actually never seen this from start to finish, as a Raimi follower I'm ashamed of myself. I will correct that in the near future.
