The first time Quigley said "I never had much use for one", I knew he was going to be called upon to use one before the end of the movie, and when Marston stood him up in front of "his old pistol target" I knew he was going to come out on top and I knew, almost to the exact words, that he was going to say what he said.

[@fpsgames8188]

Marston's wish was to be a legendary gunfighter. He was trying to live out his fantasy but grossly underestimated his opponent. His smile was the realization that even if HE couldn't be a great pistolero, he HAD died at the hands of one (Quigley), who even had a badass quote to boot.

I liked the Sacketts movies a lot but if you really want to get into the characters and the family bonds, you should read Louis L'Amours Sackett books. He wrote 16 novels about the Sackett family plus multiple stories. Sackett family members also appeared in several other of L'Amour's books as secondary characters. He wanted to write half a dozen more but died before he could accomplish it. His intention was to cover a family from their roots in England until the end of the 19th Century, covering the branches in the Caribbean, in the Revolutionary War, as Mountain Men, in the Civil War and as miners and cattlemen throughout the history of the western expansion. He was a marvelous author, and did not restrict himself to Westerns, although that was his most well known genre.

He was a down to earth actor who was known as a stage actor prior to starring in his very first movie role as Hans Gruber in Die Hard in 1988 at age 41. He was recluant at first as he was afraid to be typecast as primary villain which he was in Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves and Quiqley Down Under before wanting to do more drama roles.

To each their own. A sniper might not "have use" for a pistol but still be pretty good for one. The ending was fine. Agree to disagree.

The rifle had more use than the revolver did. You learn basic shooting and target acquisition with the pistol, then move on to the rifle for distance shooting. Pistols weren't very good past 15yards, at best. Only use for them was close-range self-defense.

World of difference shooting unarmed aborigines vs facing a man with a pistol and WON'T back down.

[@joeclark1871]

Marsten was a bully, and a coward at that, unless he felt he had the upper hand. When the three hands are chasing him down the mountain, Marsten looks over at Dobkin and says, "Get up there." Never do the job yourself, but of course, when your men fail, it's their fault, not yours.....Marsten's hubris got the better of him in the end. I like the smile Quigley gives him as he's taking off the glove..."This ain't Dodge City......."

He would have loved it. Several parts would have given him a good chuckle too.

[@alleycat2759]

He was close friends with my grandmother, so I grew up knowing him. He was one of the finest men I had ever known. But, he had a great sense of humor that was, shall we say, a little off kilter and loved to see the humor in every day life occurrences. For example, when I was about 10, he and I were fishing in a lake behind one of my grandmother's places. The day before, we caught a bunch of fish, but today they were not biting. As most people know, John Wayne was a heavy smoker. After about an hour and a half of not even getting a nibble, he flicked his cigarette butt out into the water. No sooner had it hit the water a fish came up and bit at it. He looked at me, looked back at the water; then looked back and me and said, "That's it... I'm going to get a baseball bat. If that fish does that again, we're having it for dinner!" He never went to get a bat. But the way he said it was very memorable and even at 10 y/o I knew he was just joking around.

[@alleycat2759]

Oh... I almost forgot to mention this... One of the things he said all the time; whenever nature called and he felt the need to relieve himself, "I gotta go see a man about a horse."
