Backbencher

Quigley Down Under is the story of an American sharp-shooter who travels down under to seek the employment of an Australian cattle baron. Once he arrives, he learns that the job isn't exactly as advertised. Rather than culling dingoes, the baron wants him to cull the Aborigines who have been killing his cattle. Quigley refuses the job offer by throwing the man out of a window. He is then subdued by hired hands and left in the desert to die, accompanied by the comical "Crazy Cora"- a woman struggling with her own inner demons and traumatic past.
After making his way through the desert, and witnessing the despicable slaughter of the Aborigines, Quigley decides to seek revenge against the cattle baron. Enlisting the aid of the locals, who support his cause, and armed with his trusty rifle, Quigley sets out for a final showdown.
While this film is not as historically accurate as the films on our list, it is terribly entertaining. Being one of my favorites, I felt I had to do a write-up on it. Tom Selleck did a perfect job playing the role of a steely-eyed gunfighter. In addition, Alan Rickman plays the part of the cattle baron, giving yet another successful “bad guy” performance. However, it’s the wild antics of Crazy Cora, played by Laura San Giacomo, which made this film qualify for entrance into my home video library.
