Fart City posted:The Quick And The Dead is a lot of fun, but would have been better with a different lead. Sharon Stone can be good (Casino, for example), but she wasn’t the right kind of anchor for that story in my opinion. It should not have been some soft-lookin city gal. Also her line readings suck out loud, I can't understand why she spends most of her time either sounding close to tears or completely flat. It doesn't work, she is a beautiful woman but she doesn't have that smoldering charisma to pull it off. She needed to be more of a scrapper. I fuckin' love the Quick and the Dead, as a collection of scenes it's absolutely nuts and I maintain it's a gigantic influence on the Red Dead games. There's a bunch of NPCs in those games that come right out of tQ&tD

The part where the dude says "you're pretty...." and she replies "you're not" should have been a "you brought two too many" level burn, but instead it goes nowhere IMO. Just stuff like that, it's particularly weak when you're up against Hackman's Evil Smirk and Leo's Regular Smirk.
