The Quick and the Dead mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: When Hackman rises from the ground after the last explosion, a guy is in the upper right corner standing on a balcony holding a device with an antenna (probably a remote device for explosions). He is visible almost four seconds. (01:38:23)

Visible crew/equipment: When Herod is talking to Cort he says, "It takes a lot to scare me, I love the sensation," then it cuts to a shot facing Cort, and just as Herod turns around the moving boom mic casts a shadow on the ground, at the lower right side of the screen (next shot Herod shoots Ratsy). (01:49:10)

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: When Sharon Stone confronts Gene Hackman at the end, she throws the marshal star at his feet. It is an inch or two in front of his boots. After he is shot, he gets flung backwards several feet. Stone then picks the star up and throws it to Russell Crowe. She picks it up from behind Hackman's body, several feet away from where it landed but still sticking out of the sand the same way.

Trivia

Trivia: Star and Co-producer Sharon Stone was so adamant that Leonardo DiCaprio be cast as "The Kid" that when the production company refused his hiring, wanting a higher profile actor, she paid his salary personally out of her own pocket. She also hand-picked and insisted on the hiring of Russell Crowe, but fortunately for her pocketbook the production company agreed. (Source: IMDb)

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.
