Bruce Campbell in QUICK AND THE DEAD

enjoyed it.
I was looking for Bruce Campbell during the entire movie... but never
found him. But in the end credits, he _is_ listed, under the character
name, "Wedding Shemp." What character was this? Please help me!

According to Cardiff's Movie Browser there was a wedding scene with Campbell,
but it was taken out of the final cut.

played an extra (something that Raimi refers to as a Shemp, a reference
to the stand-ins of Shemp in "The Three Stooges" shorts that the
producers used. After the actor who played Shemp had died, they
intercut shots of the stand-in with clips of the real Shemp) at a wedding
scene that we never saw.

Apparently his scene was cut prior to release.

I worked on The Quick and the Dead and was there the day Bruce's cameo
was shot. It was part of a wedding scene, most of which was cut. His
cameo came in a wide camera shot of the street with people partying and
celebrating the nuptials of The Kid and Mattie Silk (the redhead who hangs
off the kid and runs to him when he's shot). Bruce was leaning against a
hitching post next to a wagon where, I assume, the camera eventually
found him. I have several photos of him on set, in wardrobe.
The scene was long and most of it was cut. You see the very end of it
when The Kid and Mattie walk past Sharon Stone and Mattie sticks her hand
in front of Sharon's face to show her the wedding ring. Someone on the
'net said he caught a glimpse of Bruce in that brief shot. I went back
to see the movie again and looked there. I could see the area in which
Bruce had been placed, but it went by too quickly for me to positively
identify him there. When it comes out on video, the freeze-frame button
will tell.

PS: Sam Raimi is the nicest guy I've ever met. It was an EXTREME pleasure
working everyday with him and his cohorts, John Cameron and Sarah
Addington.
