Quigley Down Under (1990)




Under false pretences, an American cowboy is lured to Australia to slaughter the aborigines.
Or.............
A Western sharpshooter travels to Australia in search of employment. To his horror, he discovers that he has been hired to kill aborigines. Predictable action is somewhat redeemed by the terrific chemistry between Selleck and San Giacomo and the usual enjoyable theatrics from Rickman as the landowner heavy.
Or..............
Selleck stars as Matthew Quigley, a Wyoming sharpshooter beckoned to Australia by land baron Elliot Marston (Alan Rickman, in full villain mode). When Quigley finds out he’ll be responsible for sniping Aborigines on Marston’s land, the cowboy politely declines…by throwing Marston through his dining room window. Twice.
Because Marston, like most employers, doesn’t like being thrown through windows, his toughs subdue Quigley and Crazy Cora (San Giacomo), the hooker for whom Quigley becomes a protector, and leave them for dead in the middle of nowhere. Thus begins the duo’s quest to get back to Marston’s ranch. It will include helping and learning from the Aborigines and Quigley displaying courage and his long-range accuracy with a rifle.
