Synopsis

The movie takes place in the present, but in this universe, a plague has broken out and the infected have been transformed into zombies. No explanation is provided for the source of the plague, nor is it explained how the original victims were infected, since by the time the narrative begins the infection spreads by bite. Nevertheless, the action starts 80 years after the initial outbreak. The western United States has devolved into a disconnected series of ghost towns overrun by zombies, and the government is awarding bounties in exchange for the pinkies of the undead.

Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
grungy_guy I started watching horror movies last year in the beginning of 2009, I found many fun movies (not the best, but worthwhile). I am very easy to amuse, so i even enjoyed films like See No Evil(2006), Wes Craven's Shocker, i even like all the Saw Movies (including 5, which seems to be my second fav...even though it's considered the worst) but when i saw The Quick and the Undead.....i was clearly disappointed. It's basically a western, where zombies are everywhere, and there are bounty hunters that kill them and cash em in for reward....tell that does not sound like a cool movie...but alas this film has the worst dialogue i have ever heard. It was so boring that it came to the point where i just did my household chores, and the movie was still being played....just as background noise. When i come back...the people are in some abandoned house...but it stills doesn't get any better.....if there was any dialogue, acting, or even cool kills, i would recommend it but unfortunately this movie really does blow....I have no problem with low budget movies...but when there's a low budget movie, and it cant make up for it's bad budget with impressive acting, or even good directing.....it's as good as a paperweight..... Simply throw the movie away.....the DVD case is honestly more useful than the movie...PS sorry for the bad spelling...im a noob :)
ka2006 This movie baffled me. I could not get a grip on it. Thought I might be missing something. Glad to see that most of you agree with me. This isn't always the case (see my recent review of RE: Extinction).To expound upon the faults of this film any further would be a glorious waste of time...so I will...They're dressed like cowboys, but it's modern times, right? No? I don't get it??? When I picked up the box, I thought: ZOMBIE WESTERN! COOL! That's how it was presented. Haven't seen that yet. Hope they did a good job.They DIDN'T! They tried to create an iconic character that would spawn a series. They didn't.They tried to make an Aussie indie zombie flick on the caliber (and perhaps riding on the coat tails) of the very well done "UNDEAD". They didn't.Okay, maybe they just wanted to make a confusing, disjointed, mess of film salad that might ultimately be edited into something watchable. They DIDN'T! This is the new number 2 on my list of Worst Zombie Movies Ever. There are really just the two so far, "DAY OF THE DEAD: CONTAGIUM" being the first (not to be confused with "DAY OF THE DEAD", which is one of my favorite zombie movies of all time). If you're gonna make a zombie movie (and I'm not a zombie movie maker, I'm just a connoisseur) make a good one. Flight of the Living Dead is a good example of decent recent zombie filmaking. FYI.If you're really forgiving, you might think, well, didn't they at least throw in something to make us feel like we didn't want our money back? Guess what...THEY DIDN'T!
TXBear360 And No... I was not involved in the making or marketing of this film. I had the pleasure of seeing this film at the Texas Frightmare Weekend in 2006. To be honest part of my rating of this film has to do with having time to interact with Nott and the actors who attended the TFW. I have to say for the genre it was not new or avant Gard and it won't win an Oscar but it was entertaining and that is the true value of a movie.I have been a fan of the Horror genre since a small child when all we had to watch were the Lon Chaney Jr flicks and Britain's Hammer House films. The Crap that is coming out now on an almost daily basis by such companies as Lions Gate, Asylum and Creep FX to name a few is making it difficult to even locate good horror these days. Go to your local Video store and look at the Dreck that is produced. I mean look at the Jose Prendes flicks and you will see the bottom of the barrel and he got some Name horror actors in his films.The Quick and the Undead rises above the crap and gives entertainment with homage to apocalyptic films. The whole team behind the movie deserve a pat on the back and a well done. I would encourage them to keep going.
bonesandbruisess I think being Nott and Glenns first movie, not having much dough this movie was good. Considering the low budget horror flicks made these days and the deceiving creative box covers this movie had no hidden punches. Anyone who watches "b" movies can tell this story was thought thru and not some overnight script. Honestly the acting wasn't that bad, I mean I did't see Brad Pitts name on the credits and I wasn't expecting him. Everyone has to start somewhere. I thought the music and filming was good, at least they cared about there production and tried not to cut any corners. I think they will get better and I have turned off a whole lot of "b" movies inside 5 min's.This wasn't bad at all. Good job guys. Oh by the way, I didn't sleep with the star......MM
