When “The Quick and the Dead” was initially released in 1995, I referred to it as “The Quick and the EVIL Dead.” This was pretty much meant to sum up the style of the western as it was directed by the then still relatively unknown Sam Raimi.
At the time, Raimi only had the “Evil Dead” series and “Darkman” under his belt, as well as having co-created TV’s “M.A.N.T.I.S.” and “Hercules, the Legendary Journeys.” If you had seen any of those, you knew what you would be in for with “The Quick and the Dead.” Camp comedy risen to a fine art.
