Synopsis

Quigley (Tom Selleck) is an American sharpshooter imported from the heat and dust of the Old West to the heat and dust of the Australian outback to fight off wild dogs with his six foot rifle. Upon arrival, he learns he's been hired to kill Aborigines by a heartless rancher, which disgusts Quigley, so he runs off into the bush with a beautiful woman he's rescued. The local aboriginals discover him, and help him and the woman survive in the outback long enough for Quigley to return and seek vengeance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific old-school Western adventure, 15 Nov 2005

By	Trevor Willsmer (London, England) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

Quigley Down Under is a terrific old-school western relocated to Australia that never found the audience it deserved. Originally intended as a Steve McQueen vehicle, Tom Selleck makes a surprisingly excellent replacement as the sharpshooter who goes to Australia only to find new employer and Wild West buff Alan Rickman (in typical sneering mode) wants him to kill the local aborigines. Naturally, Selleck and Laura San Giacomo's crazy woman find themselves dumped in the desert and on the other side with the expected results, but the pleasure's all in the telling, not least thanks to a well-crafted script by John Hill. Selleck's Quigley is a likeable, decent yet believable hero, Giacomo's character is surprisingly well drawn and Simon Wincer stages the action and character scenes with equal aplomb. Add superlative scope photography from Dean Semler and one of Basil Poledouris' best and most enjoyable scores and it adds up to the most purely enjoyable old-fashioned Western in the past few decades.

The R2 PAL DVD includes the original trailer but not the negligible 2 TV spots and brief featurette from the R1 NTSC release, but it's worth picking up just for the film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Suprisingly Good, 6 Mar 2004

By	A. Boocock (West Yorkshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I thought this was a great film. Tom Selleck (good as the strong slent cowboy type) and Alan Rickman (as the sheriff of Nottingham), both top notch as well as the supporting cast. Fast paced, and a great story with some poignant moments and sweeping Australian scenery. I wasn`t expecting much to be honest, think it was a bit of a flop which just disappeared into obscurity. Well worth the money, and more. Up there with my favorite films/westerns.

5.0 out of 5 stars Western with a difference,an all round good movie !, 3 Oct 2000

By	dazavalon7@yahoo.co.uk (OXFORDSHIRE ,UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Quigley Down Under [VHS] [1990] (VHS Tape)

Like many movies in this country ,it did;nt get released fully ,but rather took the rental route. A shame really ,the cinematograthy is excellent ,the storyline is sound and the acting very good indeed . Watch out for the cattle cart scene with the troop of English soldiers ,early on in the movie ,the quip about," Sending our misfits back to England ",made me chuckle ! All in all a worthwhile addition to anybodies collection . The sooner it gets the DVD treatment the better in my opinion along with a few more of Tom Sellecks other Western endeavours ,that haven;t even been released here yet......!
