Alan Rickman famously said that it wasn't about him playing villains but playing interesting people.

One of the most underrated movies of the 20th Century. Legend has it that the clerk is still waiting for Quigley to show up to this day

"The Man from Snowy River" is another good Australian western. 👍💯

I love this movie. It is a bloody shame that there are no reactions to it on RU-vid but it is rather fitting that a girl from Australia is the first one to upload one. ♥️

Matthew Quigley Buffalo Rifle Match is held annually in Forsyth, Montana and is a black powder cartridge rifle target match. It has been held for 25 years

I grew up watching this. "I said I didn't have much use for one, never said I didn't know how to use it."

I always loved Quigley's subtle flex at the end there when he name drops 'Bill Hickok' without adding the 'Wild' to it, implying Hickok was an associate. Marston let that slip right by him; he really should have thought it over!

Quigley is a great Australian western. Good to see the treatment of the aboriginal people was addressed and not washed over. They are great people! Tom Selleck was great and Allen Rickman was awesome as the villain! The one movie I can say Rickman wasn't the villain but a hero is Galaxy Quest. That's a fun watch. Thanks for sharing MC🍒❤️💛

Best line in the movie is Matthew Quigley tells the British major, " we already run the misfits out of our country, we sent them back to England".

Native Texan here... The first white settlers in Texas, which was part of Mexico at the time (1820's), called themselves "Texicans." "Texan" didn't emerge until later in the 19th Century.

Absolutely thrilled to see somebody reacting to such a great film. Story, soundtrack and acting are all fantastic.

The world needs more Australian westerns and the world DEFINITELY needs more reactions to this gem!

Speaking of Alan Rickman, you absolutely HAVE to add SENSE AND SENSIBILITY to the watchlist. He was so sweet and memorable in that film (and plays a good guy here).

You need to watch "The Man from Snowy River" 1982, it was one of my favorite Australian westerns.

Quigley is more of an American western that takes place in Australia. It is one of the best movies made during the 90s, had a monumental musical score, and showcased an amazing depth in story telling through acting. The Man from Snowy River is more along the lines of an actual Australian western. Also a great movie

Finally someone watching this. Now you need to do Open Range and Dances With Wolves.

Wow...almost nobody reacts to this movie...so happy to see Mary checking this out...I just hope she likes it a whole bunch. LOL

Laura (crazy Cora) played the best friend of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.

Tom Selleck was supposed to be the original Indianna Jones, but CBS TV Network in the US wouldn't let Tom time off to shoot the movie, as he was under contract for the TV Series Magnum P.I. in the late 70s early 80s.

A very good movie, and under rated. You wouldn't hear a pure accent at this time, since convicts were still being shipped to Australia from all over the empire.

“Lonesome Dove” the way you pronounced that😂😂 That’s a miniseries that needs to be reacted to. Some claim it’s the best western ever.

Quigley's weapon was donated to the museum in the Bass Pro shop in Springfield Missouri. It is displayed prominently. The museum is free.

This has to be one of my top Tom Selleck roles in an unconventional and underrated western.

Rickman as a hero. Haven't you watched Galaxy Quest? And Ms Giacomo was a main character in the TV series "Just Shoot Me". Great show and good commentary; as always with you.

Lonesome Dove is proly the biggest western series/ drama of the past 30 years!

Quigley Down Under is a 5 Star film. I will die on that hill. Kind of funny to realize both "Quigley" and "Crocodile Dundee" are both fish-out-of-water stories. In a way, Australia let us borrow Paul Hogan, in exchange we let them borrow Tom Selleck. It seemed to work out.

A little-known film called Truly, Madly, Deeply stars Alan Rickman as the protagonist. It's a romance and I highly recommend it.

Laura San Giacomo had been in some other movies back in the day, and had a small but stand out part as the friend in "Pretty Woman", which brought her attention, and I'm kind of guessing that this was the biggest movie she had. I've always loved her in this. After this, she started in a sitcom for some years, called "Just Shoot Me". I don't know if she's done much in a while. Tom Selleck was actually the first choice to play Indiana Jones, but he'd already committed to do a TV show, that he wasn't even sure was going to happen, but he decided to stick to his word, and turned Indiana Jones down, and the show ended up being "Magnum P.I.", which was a huge hit in the 80s, and made him very famous, and he was the super hunky guy that all the women were crazy about back then. Since then, he had done other movies, had a recurring role on "Friends" as Richard, which kind of revived his career, and he has a cop TV show now that's doing well, I think. I have a random second hand story about him from the mid 90s. Some friends were driving down one of the curvy canyon roads here in California, on a rainy Halloween night, and their car slid off the road, and ran into the fence of someone's property. The owner of the house came out, and it was Tom Selleck. They were kind of freaked out, and very apologetic, but he was very cool about it, and just told them, "Eh. Don't worry about it. It happens all the time. It's fine." According to every story about Tom Selleck that I've ever heard, he's genuinely a very down to earth good guy!

The world needs more Aussie westerns. So glad you're reacting to this classic! For that matter, Mary, you should also check out the Snowy River movies!

I literally burned out the VHS for this as a kid.

One of my favorite movies. I think it just flies under the radar. I never even thought of it to request a reaction, but I totally love that you chose to do it. You might be a trailblazer with this one. We will see a wave of reactors following your lead (I hope).

Farscape is one of my favorite scifi show. It was filmed in Australia. It had a slow and rough first season, but it slowly grew into one of my favorites.

I watched this as a little kid and remember thinking “Oh, this crazy lady is so funny.” And then later not thinking it was so funny.

YES! Finally, been requesting this for ages! Love this film! It does make Aussies look like the villain and the American being the hero in their homeland, as an American, I still love this western! A unique concept! RIP Alan Rickman!

If you're looking for a good Alan Rickman movie where he's not a villain, you should check out a movie called Bottle Shock. It's not really a hero and villain movie. It's, loosely, about a British wine connoisseur, a bunch of California winemakers, and a French wine competition back in the 70s when French wine was pretty much the only wine thought of as being worth drinking. It's more focused than that, but those are the broad strokes. Alan Rickman, Chris Pine (Star Trek), Bill Pullman (Independency Day), and Eliza Dushku (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) are the most recognizable faces you'll see. Great movie with an excellent cast.

this is one of my Dad's favorite movies, and it holds a special place in my heart too

Yes! I've been waiting for you to react to Quigley! I don't know why other reactors have ignored this classic.

"Is Alan Rickman going to be the villain again?" But he was so *good* at it....

You absolutely should watch Lonesome Dove. Dove, the bird.

If you still want to watch westerns. Highly recommend Dances With Wolves, Open Range, and the series Lonesome Dove, and The Man From Snowy River ( Australian Western)

Quigley is wielding an 1874 45/110 Shiloh Sharps rifle. Mighty fine buffalo rifle! And, you can reload it much faster than a .50 caliber Hawkins cap and ball rifle.

I spent a couple years in the outback of Australia, very beautiful country and the friendliest people I've ever met.

One of my dream rifles that I will get someday is actually Quigley's custom sharps

Thank you. When this first came out, I guessed that it was a sequel, similar to "The Rescuers Down Under." Eventually figured out that it was a stand-alone. John Hill told me that he sold this script to the studios in 1975, but it took them until 1990 to actually make it. Tom Selleck goes way back. He was the star of TV's "Magnum, P.I." from 1980-88. He had a choice of doing that or being Indiana Jones. Since then, he's done American Westerns, cop shows, miscellaneous dramas, even a few comedies. Hard to think of Alan Rickman playing a hero character. But he's "decent" as Col. Brandon in the 1995 version of "Sense and Sensibility."

One of my favorite movies ever. I was 20 years old the year this came out and I knew I was going to love it within the first five minutes of the movie. The story, the cast, the characters, the musical score and the beauty of Australia. Australia was one of the places I would love to have gone to while in the Navy but, sadly, it never happened. I grew up watching Tom Selleck play the title character in the 80's TV series Magnum, P.I. As for Laura San Giacomo, I have seen her in the movie Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. Aside from Cora, one of my favorite performances by Laura San Giacomo was in the role of Nadine Cross in the 1994 television miniseries adaptation of Stephen King's The Stand.

My two favorite scenes were where Martson was gushing over his Colt revolvers, whereupon Quigley says, "I never had much use for them," which Martson interpreted as Quigley not being familiar or proficient with them. In the later scene where Martson gives Quigley one of his revolvers thinking he was going to "educate" him , only to be shot himself., is where Quigley delivers the most BADASS line of the movie. "Said I never had much use for them. Never said I didn't know how to use it."

Quigley turning his horse around to take one last look at Cora was a touching moment. He obviously remembered what she had told him about Roy.

A Cry in the Dark (1988) is the movie where americans learned about the dingo story. Meryl Streep played Lindy.

Yes! Team Quigley. Mary, here's the thing with Reactions. People tend to go for what's popular but SOMETIMES, sometimes stepping out of the box gets things going. Besides, we're badasses who do our own thang. 😎❤

It's definitely a more gritty watch, but you should watch The Proposition (2005), another underrated Aussie western. Another is The Tracker (2002).

Thank you for watching this movie. It such a great movie. When you truly find out what happened to Cora and Matthew realizing why she is the way she is he falls for her and she still loves him.

I’m so happy someone is reacting to Quigley! I watched this movie so much growing up so it has a special place in my heart. Thank you for reacting to it!

Seriously, is no one going to broach the subject that Mary Cherry and crazy Cora are almost identical twins?!?!?

An Australian movie for ANZAC Day (April 25): "The Lighthorsemen" (1987) true story about the Australian Light Horse Regiment in 1918. Australian production w/ Australian actors

If you enjoyed this, you should watch Dances With Wolves. Somewhat similar plot, and equally powerful.

Glad you reacted to this movie, a real underrated gem.

You blurred out Quigley's rifle??? Why even review the movie?

This is an excellent film that unfortunately as flown under most people’s radar.

Paint Your Wagon, a western musical with Clint Eastwood that every woman who watches it loves it. I so don't want to spoil the story.

“If he’s encircled by a bunch of dingos…good luck!” That phrase in your accent is hilarious for some reason. I loved this movie growing up.

Quigley down under without showing the rifle? Ok I don't get it, I see guns on youtube all the time.

Tom Selleck starred in several westerns. The Sacketts (1979), The Shadow Riders (1982), Quigley Down Under (1990), Last Stand at Saber River (1997), Crossfire Trail (2001), Monte Walsh (2003). He stars in the tv show Blue Bloods.

It's a fun movie. Glad to see your reaction to it, and happy you enjoyed it. I watched this movie so much growing up. Definitely one of the best Westerns and underrated.

"Lonesome Dove" by the same director would be right up your alley. It's got an absolutely stacked cast, a great story and even some of the music is similar to that in Quigley.

Little Big Man is a western worth watching. Thanks for reacting to this.

Another great Australian western is The Man from Snowy River.

This has always been one of my favorite movies. Thanks for helping me see it again for the first time.

"The Man from Snowy River" will always hold the top spot in my heart for any Australian movie ('Mad Max' take your just-deserved 2nd place, but that's not really a 'Western'). THIS movie, however? As an American, I ADORE EET! (And Tom Selleck tickles many fancies, too!) :-)

F' yeah! Been waiting for this for a long time!

1983. "The Thorn Birds". TV mini series based on a book by Colleen McCullough. Set in Australia. Stars two Australian actors, Rachel Ward and Bryan Brown. Very good watch. I read the book and watched the mini series.

about an hour north of mackay in queensland, there is a small town called the leap. where an aboriginal woman carrying her baby, was apparently forced to jump off a cliff rather than being caught by the government back in the 1800s. they have a 10 meter statue of her outside the pub.

Lonesome Dove is the greatest television mini series of all time. Alan Rickman was a good guy in Galaxy Quest and Dogma. Another great Tom Selleck film is Three Men and a Baby. Loved this reaction to an underrated film

This is one of my favourite westerns.

I love this movie. It's legit an underrated western.

Mary dropping the Dad Jokes. Can it possibly get any better than that? (was funny as hell girl you had me laughing like crazy) Well done. 😁

My father would rent movies for us as kids, we had to rent the vcr player and everything. We had a family movie and when my mother and sister went to bed, dad and me would watch a war movie, James bond, or a western. This was one of them and he always enjoyed it. Thanks for reminding me of that memory.

A shame youtube had to blurr the rifle everytime. It's such a beautiful piece of work!

Lonesome Dove....one of the greatest mini series of all time ... I am sure the book is great also...but you need to watch Lonesome Dove... Tommy Lee Jones, Robert DuVal, Diane Lane, Danny Glover, and tons of other incredible actors...worth the many hours...

Thank you for reacting ti QDU. It is a gem of the 90s that has never gotten the respect it deserves. You are the first person I have seen react to this movie. Well done.

The ticket agent was only aware that "Roy" had an American accent, so was preparing if he should say he was Quigley.

Finally, Finally, FINALLY! Someone's watching one of my favorite westerns from down under (probably only). And it happens to be from one of my favorite RU-vidrs from down under, Mary Cherry. Thank you for watching this. Now you have to watch this 1985 Western called Silverado. You will recognize a large amount of the cast in this one. It's another one of my favorites.

Unnecessary censor on the rifle. Unnecessary censoring on every gun. RU-vid is RU-vid, but don’t be absurd.

Can i just say i really love your vibe and smile. Just the best 🔥 ❤

This is one of my dad's favorite movies. His favorite line is towards the end "I said I never had much use for one. Never said I didn't know how to use it."

“The Silver Brumby” starring a fairly young Russell Crowe is also a really good movie, as well as “The Light Horsemen”.

8:41 Despite the stories we've heard about Tom Selleck, that's a rifle.

After shooting Sharps rifles for 40 years that if a person knows their rifle, shots like this are very possible. The bucket shot was determined to be around 750 yards, so yes.

The sound track for this movie is incredible. it was created by the same guy who did the music for Conan the Barbarian.

*_A Cry in the Dark_** (1988.)* Meryl Streep was nominated for an Oscar for her portrayal of Lindy. And _"the dingo's got my baby"_ was quoted for a decade afterwards.

It sounds like we were right, when we said it was suitable for a reaction? As a fan of Westerns, I love this for how Matthew Quigley is written as an archetypal cowboy more in the history of the literature than a lot of films. He's not loud, he doesn't brag, he's got a clear moral code that he adheres to in the face of adversity. He's very much in charge of himself.

This is one of my all time favorite movies. Never understood why it was not more popular. It was a family tradition in my household. If this was on the entire family was watching, no matter how many times we saw it.

"I'm not aware of Tom Selleck's work either" Tom Selleck is most famous for his role as Magnum, P.I. More recently, he's been the police commissioner in the series Blue Bloods.

One of my favorite movies! I visited Freemantle and Perth in my younger days while in the Navy. I got to go duck hunting in the outback. Australia is a beautiful place.

I laugh at the "blurring out" of the Sharp's Big-Fifty as it is an iconic rifle and deserves more love.

1:49 - LONESOME DOVE. The way you say 'DOVE, makes 'lonesome dove' sound like the past action of a solitary high diver. However, if you make DOVE rhyme with GLOVE then we'd be talking about a 'solitary bird' or the name of a fictional, small, dusty Texas border town. ADDITIONAL - Tom Selleck portrayed 'Thomas Magnum', a private investigtor on the island of Hawaii from Dec 11, 1980, to May 1, 1988. Selleck was the original choice to portray Indiana Jones, however filming schedules forced him to have to choose to work on Magnum P.I. It later transpired that filming schedules were altered yet again which meant Selleck coud have, in fact, had time to film, 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' too. Selleck's debut movie appearance was in the Michael Douglas movie, 'Coma', also starring Geneviève Bujold (original choice for Captain Janeway, Star Trek Voyager).

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Tom Selleck has said that it is the role that he is most proud of doing. Thanks!!

A reaction tailor-made for a British audience: blur out the firearms, but keep the knives and the stabbing in full HD. 😂

THANK YOU for reacting to this movie. It is an old favorite of mine. It always weirds me out because Tom Selleck looks a lot alike and sounds EXACTLY like my Father in this movie. And his vocal inflections and speech patterns are so similar. When the old aborigeni man knocked out Quigley, near the beginning, he wasn't indoctrinated. He was saving his life. As good as Quigley was, he was outgunned right there. By knocking him out, he knew that Marston would make his death slow, giving a better chance of getting away.

I watch this movie every time I see it come up! My all-time favorite movie!
