Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlan Rickman decided to take the part because filming was taking place in Australia. He always wanted to visit Australia.
- GoofsSomeone 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.
- Quotes
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.
- Alternate versionsIn 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.
