Bringing back the core cast from the 2021 film, Nobody 2 takes the Mansell family on vacation as Hutch (Bob Odenkirk) attempts to recreate a vacation from his childhood for his kids (Paisley Cadorath and Gage Munroe). However, it doesn’t take long for the family to get into trouble and for Hutch’s attempt to deescalate the situation to do quite the opposite as the small town known for its water park is actually a town run by a ruthless gangster (a too-far over-the-top Sharon Stone) and a shitkicker sheriff (a completely miscast Colin Hanks).

The film made Sharon Stone a star moving her on to bigger and better projects including being the rare woman to headline a western in The Quick and the Dead and a supporting role in Casino both just three years later.

While 1995’s The Quick and the Dead was seen as both a critical and box office failure, Raimi’s revisionist western has earned some respect over the years coming to be classified as a cult classic. Sharon Stone stars as The Lady, a gunfighter who arrives in the town of Redemption to enter a gunfighting competition. However, her true motives lie more with an undisclosed vendetta against the town’s owner John Herod (Gene Hackman) than winning any competition.
