The Quick and the Dead (1995): Difference between revisions
When John Herod ([[Gene Hackman]]) forces Cort ([[Russell Crowe]]) to fight in a quickdraw duel, he takes him to his son's shop and tries to find a gun for him to use. After finding the guns in there too expensive, John ask for the most worthless piece of crap in the store. The Kid ([[Leonardo DiCaprio]]) pulls out a POS [[Colt 1851 Navy]] with a Richards-Mason cartridge conversion and slaps it on the table saying simply, "Five bucks." Cort uses it for the rest of the duels, but John only gives him one bullet, which they say is .38 Long Colt, for each duel so he can't shoot his way out of town. This proves troublesome when the mighty Spotted Horse ([[Jonothon Gill]]) comes up to fight him, and requires a second bullet to take him down.

In The Lady's flashback to when her father The Marshal ([[Gary Sinise]]) is murdered, John Herod is seen using a percussion [[Colt 1851 Navy]] with ivory grips. He hands the gun to Young Ellen "The Lady" ([[Stacy Linn Ramsower]]) and says she has three shots to shoot the rope of the hangman's noose wrapped around her father's neck. Her lack of experience, training and hand strength leads to her accidentally shooting him in the head.

As with most westerns, the Single Action Army is the most prominently used gun in the film, built by various replica companies such a Cimmaron and EMF Hartford. Not suprisingly, the 4 3/4" Quickdraw models are the most common models in the film, likely do to the Quickdraw contest in which the film revolves around.
Colt 1851 Navy (with Richards-Mason Cartridge conversion)
When John Herod (Gene Hackman) forces Cort (Russell Crowe) to fight in a quickdraw duel, he takes him to his son's shop and tries to find a gun for him to use. After finding the guns in there too expensive, John ask for the most worthless piece of crap in the store. The Kid (Leonardo DiCaprio) pulls out a POS Colt 1851 Navy with a Richards-Mason cartridge conversion and slaps it on the table saying simply, "Five bucks." Cort uses it for the rest of the duels, but John only gives him one bullet, which they say is .38 Long Colt, for each duel so he can't shoot his way out of town. This proves troublesome when the mighty Spotted Horse (Jonothon Gill) comes up to fight him, and requires a second bullet to take him down.
Colt 1860 Army (with Richards-Mason Cartridge conversion)
Several characters in the film are seen with Colt 1860 Army revolvers with Richards-Mason cartridge conversions. The most notable of these users is Dog Kelly (Tobin Bell) when he duels with The Lady.
In The Lady's flashback to when her father The Marshal (Gary Sinise) is murdered, John Herod is seen using a percussion Colt 1851 Navy with ivory grips. He hands the gun to Young Ellen "The Lady" (Stacy Linn Ramsower) and says she has three shots to shoot the rope of the hangman's noose wrapped around her father's neck. Her lack of experience, training and hand strength leads to her accidentally shooting him in the head.
Gutzon (Sven-Ole Thorsen) keeps a LeMat 1861 revolver, which he is seen loading up for his duel with The Kid. He never gets to fire it though due to how fast The Kid is compared to him. It appears he keeps the gun cocked on an unloaded chamber, which would make things very difficult for him. It is confusing why he wouldn't just use the shotgun barrel for the draw, since it is a larger round with a better chance of hitting.
A man is seen at the beginning of the film digging in the ground. He spots the lady riding up on her horse towards him and pulls out a Marlin-Ballard No. 4 Perfection sharpshooters rifle noted by its reciever and Rocky Mountain front blade sight. Luckily for her, he misses and puts a hole through her hat brim.
John Herod (Gene Hackman) is seen using a Remington 1875 with an engraved brass frame which he uses to shoot the legs off of a chair as Cort (Russel Crowe) stands on it with a noose around his neck before The Lady (Sharon Stone) shoots him down. The Kid (Leonardo DiCaprio) is also seen showning off a Remington, which he innaccurately refers to as "A Remington Army .44" (which is its percussion predecessor the 1858 New Army) with silver grips.
The Kid (Leonardo DiCaprio) shows off a Smith & Wesson Schofield Model 3 revolver in his shop with a nickel finish. The front of the trigger guard is removed to decrease draw time, but The Kid warns not to wear it while drunk or he is liable to blow his foot off.
Remington 1858 New Army (with cartridge conversion)
Sgt. Clay Cantrell (Keith David) keeps a cartridge converted Remington 1858 New Army which is attached to a Bridgeport Device pivotal turning system on his hip so instead of pulling it from a holster, he simply twists the gun to the ready position.
When The Lady (Sharon Stone) goes to meet John Herod (Gene Hackman) for dinner, she ties a James Reid "My Friend" Knuckle Duster to a string on her dress and draws it under the table, using the sound of the hammer cocking to intimidate him. The sound of a hammer cocking is then heard from him, so she leaves, only to see the sound was produced from him opening a match holder.
John Herod's (Gene Hackman) deputies use Winchester 1873 rifles as their weapons in the film. Herod himself uses one of these rifles to kill Ratsy (Raynor Scheine) as he flees town for smashing Cort's hand, ruining their duel. Cort (Russell Crowe) also uses one of their rifles to take down one of the deputies.
