@@danieldavismusic the gun was supposed to sound awful. The rifle is supposed to sound mighty and finely tuned. That is how you introduce an excellent weapon and it's shooter in a movie.

@@thedarkknight1971 they use libraries of sound. I can get you that same "wrong" engine sound added in 10 sec. In order to get the sound of bike you want: 1. take it to studio 2. studio has to be big enough 3. record the sound and poison with gasses people in the studio 4. take the bike outside (by stairs) - most of the time And, now you have one extra sound of a bike to be used. It only took you 2h and mild CO2 poisoning to do it.
This is one of the movies that if i'm going through channels on TV and come across it, no matter where it is at in the story, i'll stop and watch the rest. One of my all time favorites.
Big agree. I staved off watching this film for the longest and regret doing so. It's a fine underrated classic with a fantastic score by the late Basil Poledouris.
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.
@@Billy-bc8pk with his Swiss rifle from a rest correct? Again stay on point with my comment. Not some instant up to the shoulder 1000 yard shot at a bucket without accounting anything like wind, humidity, or the coriolis effect. So Ernie nor Simo are not in this conversation whatsoever.
Another reminder that Alan Rickman was one of the greatest actors of all time. Without him playing the Heel the entire movie would have been worthless.
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.
A great film, and one I have long lamented never got a sequel where Quigley goes to Canada in Quigley Up North, Tom Selleck and Alan Rickman were perfect in their roles.
@@GMoney1981 But if I recall, at the time this film was released at the theater, westerns were on the down and out as a genre. I always thought that that was one of the reasons it didn’t do better and instead kind of became a cult classic over time - like Blade Runner.
I really like the shootout where he’s outnumbered but has the advantage in that his rifle has a much better range than the lever guns his opponents wield, and that he’s a good shot.
There was a planned sequel. Selleck gave s press conference wherr he snnounced that he was working on the classic western adventure novel by Clair Huffaker The Cowboy and the Cossack about s Texas herd of cattle driven across Siberia by cowhands. The movie never happened. The novel is unique and a treat to read.
Tom Selleck has CEMENTED his Greatness as 1 of the All-Time Greatest Cowboys in American History with his Performance in this Film... "QUIGLEY DOWN UNDER" is Unquestionably 1 of the Greatest Westerns of All-Time!
Well many people forget, Australia had its own ‘Wild West” Frontier period, and had its own outback ‘cowboy” culture. It wasn’t just the Americans to wear a wide brimmed hat and a six-gun on their hips. Alas, much of that culture was snuffed out of the Ozzies in the 80s and 90s.. Now they’re just ‘Hot Canada”…
Underutilised talent. Given Tom Selleck's looks and screen presence. Its a shame he was not offered more such rules with stellar storylines. He would have been mentioned in the same breath as the great Eastwood and Wayne if only he had been given enough chances.
@@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.
This movie cost me $2800……I bought a Shiloh 45/70 reproduction made in Montana, black powder…amazingly cool rifle to shoot. Even a 45/70 has a healthy kick. Worth every penny!
Imagine how much fun it was to shoot that movie with that cast. The script was pretty good. A few twists and turns, with odd characters to liven things up. Even the Aborigines were great. Still a fun movie to watch all these years later.
@otr Incorrect He was brought in for what's her name to audition with but he wasn't on the list. Selleck was already contracted for magnum and Spielberg and lucas knew that.
@@AllenNicholson-ug5fc Incorrect. Spielberg originally wanted Selleck and thought they could get him before filming began on Magnum PI with CBS due to the writer's strike, but CBS nulled that decision because they originally did want him for the role, and Spielberg told Selleck that if he didn't get him for Indiana Jones he would have something else for him after his contract was up. 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.
The movie says it took Quigley 3 months to get to Australia. That means that that application was sent out a year before the movie started. Took 3 months to get to America. 3 months to get back to Australia. 3 months to send the invitation, 3 months for him to make the trip.
Veteran gun writer Phil Spangenberger advised on the film and helped steer the producers toward period-correct firearms. "I received a call from the movie’s production company, asking me what type of circa 1850s-1860s percussion breechloader could shoot accurately at over 1,000 yards. 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. They liked my suggestion and asked where they could obtain such rifles."
You can hear Alan Rickman call his rifle "The legendary Sharps rifle"; Sharps rifles were some of the best long distance rifles in the world, and are the reason we refer to snipers as Sharpshooters.
No its not! The Sharps Rifle wasn't in mass production until 1850s and way back in 1700s the Germanic regions ie Austrians and Prussians used the term scharfshutzen which is sharpshooter. Britain, around 1801 had developed a new regiment designed with expert shooters known as the 95th Rifles. Those who know of Bernard Cromwell will understand his fictitious character was Richard Sharp who served in the 95th; they were known as sharpshooters as evidenced in many chronicle records of that era and used the Baker rifle. Even Lord Nelson was reported as being shot by a sharpshooter and yet Christian Sharps has only just been born. So the term sharphooter was not from users of the Sharps Rifle but more a derivation from scharfshutzen.
Actually Tom is a very good shot, and has one of those rifles used in the movie. They are Sharps Shilo 45-110s, made in Montana and you can still get them for $4,142.00. They can shoot as described in the movie. 900 yards is not unknown, matter of fact the record was at Adobe Walls in Arizona territory and it was measured over a mile and was a 50-90 Sharps back in the day.
@@redbarchetta8782 You are absolutely correct. My brother has a Shiloh Sharps 45-70 and I have a Remington Rolling Block in the same caliber and with those Vernier sights we can consistently hit clay pots the size of that bucket easily at 1000 yards, using Black Powder Cartridges.
I dated a young lady when i was in my early 20s who's father was an avid shooter. He had the exact same gun as Quiqley shoots in this movie. Unfortunately he had his house sided one year and about a week after the job finished he was broken into and that gun along with several others were taken. I mentioned the siding being done because he lives in a very rural area extremely unlikely it was random. Also the company eas out of the Detroit area,and he never vot any of the guns back,but a couple years later he was contacted because one of them was used in a homicide in Detroit.
It's funny in this movie, everybody carries guns, but this guy carries the biggest gun in the world; what a show off: the shot that heard around the world.
snagging the bucket and jumping the fence first try is also quite impressive
Looks like several cuts, he probably had as many tries as it took for each. (Unless there's released behind the scenes trivia I haven't seen).
@@FreddyJedd nah it was one take in quigleys world
Yeah, there should have been a Finest Horseman in The World spinoff.
Australia does not have cowboys, we have stockmen. Also known as Jackaroos and Jillaroos.
