0/10. I was feeling generous with this rating due to the fact Sam Raimi kicked off the wave of superhero movies with the Spider-Man trilogy. He's a good film maker who's got a great amount of talent. That said, what was he thinking here? Why can't people accept the fact Sharon Stone can't act? She's void of any real talent outside of flashing her body in in either risque shots or nude scenes. Leonardo Diacaprio's just as bad here, she should've married him, they'd have blended well together. Gene Hackman's talent goes to waste as he's the only actor capable in this dreary cliche ridden Western. A better story with replacements for Stone and Dicaprio like say Linda Hamilton and Paul Rudd would've been a whole lot better.

Mistakes

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.

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/.

Questions

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?

Answer: Ellen shoots Herod both times. There is a muzzle flash and sound effect from her gun just as Herod's shot hits her. If it helps, watch the scene in slow motion.
