Quigley Down Under


Quigley Down Under is a 1990 Australian western film. Starring Tom Selleck, Alan Rickman and Laura San Giacomo, it was directed by Simon Wincer.

When he arrives in Australia, he is met by employees of the man who hired him, Elliot Marston Alan Rickman. Quigley unsuccessfully tries to prevent them from forcing Crazy Cora Laura San Giacomo onto their wagon and beats the men until they learn that Quigley is the individual they were sent to pick up. Quigley is eventually taken to Marstons station in the Western Australian outback. Upon seeing Quigley, Cora consistently calls him Roy, much to Quigleys annoyance.Marston is infatuated with stories of quickdraw gunslingers from the American Old West, believing himself to have been born on the wrong side of the globe, and amazed that Quigley has actually been to Dodge City. He informs Quigley his sharpshooting skills will be used to eradicate the increasingly elusive native Aborigines. Marstons killing of Aborigines is technically illegal, but he implies that it is tolerated by the local military police with whom Marston has an arrangement. Quigley, who believed he was hired to shoot dingoes, finds the idea abhorrent. ........
