    This is a shoot-em-up set in the Australian outback. Quigley (Selleck) is an American hired gun hired (about late nineteenth century) to help a bad ranch owner exterminate natives, but when he finds out the real reason he was hired he helps the native side.
    Problem is, Quigley never misses a target or loses a shootout, which makes the whole thing really unbelievable. Cora (Giacomo) adds comic relief and romantic interest by playing a mad woman in need of rescue.
    Acting, photography and stunts are well done.
    However, the script hurts, so save your dime at the video store unless you just need a good laugh.
