What's left behind the scenes
- Sharon Stone really wanted Leonardo DiCaprio to star in the film, so she provided money to cover his fee.
- While filming in Arizona, Sharon Stone persuaded Russell to spend Christmas morning with her at a Salvation Army branch, where they distributed food to the poor. Afterwards, they visited a shelter for children who had experienced domestic violence.
- Sharon Stone also invited Russell Crowe. The studio was initially skeptical of her choice, as this Australian actor was then still largely unknown to American audiences.
- The actors involved in the film began training in handling weapons three months before filming began. They even took the weapons with them to the hotel after filming to practice at the end of the shooting day.
- The wedding scene of Kid and Matty Silk was cut from the film.
- All the actors involved in the shootout scenes underwent special training, learning to instantly draw their revolvers. And since Gene Hackman was less busy filming than the others, he had more time to practice. As a result, he became the fastest at performing this operation.
- Sharon Stone wore an authentic leather jacket in the film. The jacket was over 100 years old and had been a museum exhibit before filming.
- A sexual scene involving Ellen (Sharon Stone) and Kurt (Russell Crowe) was filmed, but Stone and the film's director, Sam Raimi, ultimately decided that the film could do without this episode. Interestingly, this episode was included in the version intended for foreign distribution.
- All the weapons in the film are authentic, from the late 19th century. It showcases many examples of firearms that you won't see in other Westerns.
- In 1994, 12 Westerns were still being filmed, so the props department had trouble with the availability of costumes from the appropriate period.
- All the actors who participated in the shootout scenes underwent special training, learning to instantly draw their revolvers. And since Gene Hackman was on set for less time than the others, he had more time to practice. As a result, he became the fastest at performing the action.
