В случае с этим фильмом так и хочется сказать - много клише.
Глаз просто не может не заметить столько знакомых приемов.
Но мне кажется в случае с вестернами, это звучит скорее положительно.
Потому, хороший вестерн - это всегда набор определенных классических элементов, по которым мы собственно и определяем этот жанр.
И здесь их много, и смотрятся они замечательно, да еще и в исполнении такого яркого актерского состава. Лучше и не подберешь.
Нет, ну можно конечно, но зачем?



Sharon Stone hand-picked 'Russell Crowe (I)' to be in this film.
The studio was initially unsure about this choice because Crowe was a complete unknown to the American audience.

Russell Crowe's first American feature.

Sharon Stone was so insistent that Leonardo DiCaprio appear in the film that she paid his salary personally.

A sex scene between Ellen (Sharon Stone) and Cort ('Russell Crowe (I)') was shot, but Stone and director Sam Raimi decided that it wasn't a necessary part of the story.
The scene was not included in the American release of the film, but international versions do include it.

All of the actors on the set in the gunfight scenes were instructed in the art of the quick draw by a stunt coordinator.
Due to his limited screen time, Gene Hackman had the most opportunity to prepare his quick draw and as a result was the fastest actor on the set.

There is a scene where Gene Hackman lightly slaps Sharon Stone. It wasn't scripted and Stone's reaction is real.
