Revealing mistake: When Herod shoots Rusty in the back before the final gunfight, a car can be seen driving down the road in the background.
The Quick and the Dead (1995)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Sam Raimi
Starring: Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sharon Stone, Gary Sinise
Other mistake: During the first round of the duels we see a part of the participants list and "Scars" is missing. He should appear between "Spotted Horse" and "Sparks" according to their order of entering the competition.
Trivia: This is the only Sam Raimi movie where his trademark Oldsmobile does not appear.

Suggested correction: According to legend, the car was stripped down to its chassis then rebuilt as a stagecoach for the movie.
It was apparently "stripped down and covered with a wagon." https://movieweb.com/why-sam-raimi-puts-his-car-in-his-movies/.
Question: Who shoots Herod the first time in the final showdown with Ellen? I have replayed the video several times and her gun does not fire until the second, kill shot to the head. Cort is just behind her. Are we supposed to surmise that he shot Herod first? Just a mistake?
