History YMMV / TheQuickAndTheDead

----

* VindicatedByHistory: The film was a huge bomb when it first came out in theaters, despite its all-star cast. However, years later, the film has a dedicated cult following.

* HilariousInHindsight: Creator/TobinBell's character ends up being knocked uncoscious, [[Film/SawI and he wakes being chained up]] to something.

** When [[spoiler:Sgt. Cantrell]] duels Herod, the Mexican townsfolk, who hired him to kill Herod watch eagerly and are utterly crestfallen when he fails. This prompts Herod to squeeze more money out of the townspeople.

* FanPreferredCutContent; The deleted scenes where Cort officiates at Kid and Maddie’s wedding and Dog Kelly and the shoeshine boy get backstories are all pretty well-regarded, and most fans wish they’d stayed in.

** [[spoiler:Kid's death]]. He admits that he doesn't want to die yet and [[spoiler:sounds like a frightened young boy. Made even worse when a clearly shaken Herod refuses to acknowledge him as his son till the bitter end, defying his own words by listlessly dropping his hat and gun in the street as he walks away.]]

* FoeYay: Herod invites Lady over for a romantic candlelit dinner and offers to make her his mistress if she'll drop out of the dueling contest. Later, as he's about to fight Cort, he leans in ''really'' close and says, "I've always wanted to fight you, Cort. Ever since I first laid eyes on you. It was just this itch I had to scratch." [[IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow Fighting]], eh?

** The Kid and Cort aren't the lead character, but they're as interesting if not more. Creator/SharonStone wanted Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio to play as the Kid so much that she took a cut to her salary to get him.

* MoralEventHorizon: Eugene Dred was a sleazy summy {{jerkass}}, but he truly becomes despicable when he molests Katie. This earns him a well-deserved death from Lady.

* EsotericHappyEnding: [[spoiler: Yes Herod and his gang are dead and the town is free from their reign of terrors, but literally half the town was destroyed in the process. How exactly are they going to rebuild?]]
** [[spoiler: Probably by paying for it with the prize money, provided it too didn't get blown up.]]
** If by "half the town" you mean exactly two buildings (one of them being Herod's house) and clock tower...
