Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Sharpshooter Matt Quigley is hired from America by an Australian rancher so he can shoot aborigines at a distance. Quigley takes exception to this and leaves. The rancher tries to kill him for refusing, and Quigley escapes into the brush with a woman he rescued from some of the rancher's men, and are helped by aborigines. Quigley returns the help, before going on to destroy all his enemies. Written by Ed Sutton {esutton@mindspring.com} |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Alan Rickman decided to take the part because filming was taking place in Australia. He always wanted to visit Australia. See more » |
| Goofs | Someone said an experienced rifleman like Quigley would not blow into his rifle as it would rust the barrel. In reality with black powder cartridge guns, people would blow the smoke out of the gun before it could settle in the barrel and the moisture from your breath would help keep the black powder from hardening and "fouling" the barrel. So it is quite reasonable for him to blow the smoke out of his rifle. See more » |
