Quigley Down Under Sam Colt quote

[@MrMichaeljay1965]

I'm a John Wayne/Clint Eastwood cowboy movies kind of guy, but Quigley Down Under is one of the best western genre movies of all time. The acting and writing/plot line are superb - a fine tribute to cowboy movies, everywhere.

[@cedricgist7614]

I agree. Didn't see it when it was released and just thought it was a vehicle to make Selleck a movie star. But his acting was understated, the supporting cast was superb, the story enlightening. I came away thinking, "This was a good movie that would have held its own during the heyday of great Westerns." Theme wasn't bad either. Good comment.

[@Arbeedubya]

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.

[@donwild50]

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.

@@josephinebennington7247 Truth is.. there never were gun battles like this in the old west.. it has been noted no more than 4 times in history of men meeting in a street to pull guns.. the most famous was Wyatt Earp at the OK Corral..which didn't actually happen in the Corral.. Wild Bill Hickok was shot in the back of his head from behind while playing poker.. to this day his hand Aces and 8s is called the dead mans hand. IT was VERY rare for men to shoot face to face... most cities after the civil war outlawed the carrying of weapons.. the only one with a weapon would be the outlaw or the police.. and that is why there are more stories about the Sherriff of the town than anyone else.

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.

Alan Rickman usually played villains, but in almost every instance he upstaged the protagonist lead. Think Robin Hood (with Kevin Costner), Die Hard, perhaps Quigley ....

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.
