Curiosidades
Alan Rickman decided to take the part because filming was taking place in Australia. He always wanted to visit Australia.

Pifias
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.

Citas
Major Ashley-Pitt: In our experience, Americans are uncouth misfits who should be run out of their own barbaric country.
Matthew Quigley: Well, Lieutenant...
Major Ashley-Pitt: Major.
Matthew Quigley: Major. We already run the misfits outta our country. We sent 'em back to England.

Versiones alternativas
In the version shown on GRIT TV, there are a number of cuts to fit the film into the 2 hour time slot and to accommodate commercials, including the entire sequence where Marston's men attack Quigley in the nearby town and where Major Ashley-Pitt's army confronts Quigley after Marston's death, only to be surrounded by the aborigines.

Quigley or Crazy Cora Down Under?

I loved this movie!

Ex-Confederate officer Matthew Quigley immigrates to Australia to forget the horrors he has recently witnessed. He was hired in advance by the owner of the Marsten Waters Ranch. When he arrives, things are definitely not what he expected due to the fawning treatment he receives from Marsten that comes with the request that he carry out a program of racial purity...

Selleck's performance as Quigley is first rate. I easily believed that although Quigley had watched more than his share of Man's Inhumanity, yet he managed to hang onto his integrity. The character finds himself in a situation where his own actions can transform the circumstances for better. He did not go looking for a fight, but by God, he will finish this one.

Even so, the character of Crazy Cora is my favorite. She is the victim of cruelty also but did not fare as well as Quigley. She is damaged goods, unable to take care of herself in any significant way when the story opens. In the course of the story, she is the one who recovers her Humanity. It is really her story as much as Quigley's.

An excellent movie. Simon Sez check it out.
