3:26 Not sure if the writers intended it be be seen like this but the way Rickmans character breaks Quigleys concentration was probably deliberate. In a firefight you don't have time to get "into the zone" like Quigley did in this scene so he was testing the man. Quigley understood what he was doing so he hit the bucket three times to prove a point.

That 45/110 is a thumper!

[@snoman003]

Indeed it is however, creative license was used. The 110 actually has NONE of the clicks shown in the movie. The opening of the the breech, chamber of the round, closing the breech and cocking of the hammer is rather "undramatic" however, when the 108 grains of powder (in my case) goes off it's an attention getter. A very fine shooting rifle and surprisingly accurate for 1870's technology.

@@JohnWilson-zh3il High Road to China gives us a very good look at what Selleck could have been like as Indiana Jones. The premise for the film was great, but it did kind of peter out toward the middle-end. A slightly bigger budget and better staging of the end action sequence could have put it in the cult classic category.

[@JR-zv6qm]

He was given right of 1st refusal as Indiana Jones in 'Raiders...'. Turned it down b/c of schedule conflicts with 'Magnum PI'. Hollywood has a long memory with stuff like that. Selleck had a fine career, but yes maybe it could have been better.

Selleck even talked about it at one point in an interview with David Letterman, joking he was still waiting for Spielberg's call.

@@Billy-bc8pk I have the footage of the audition with selleck and karen allen in the bonus footage dvd from raiders. Spielberg explained that they knew they were never going to get selleck. He was brought in to see how well she would interact with him, but he was never really in the running. Selleck was overly aggressive in the audition with her which Spielberg didn't like. Any possibility of selleck getting the role was gone after that.

I suggested it could be easily set in the early 1870s, so they could use an 1874 Sharps metallic cartridge rifle, which was actually introduced in 1871.
