When Quigley shoots the log, he does not reload his gun before he shoots at the next man just before his capture. [After he shoots the rope to release the log, we see several seconds of the log striking the man and him then rolling down the hill. Quigley had more than enough time to reload.]
In the scene with Alan Rickman just before the final gunfight, Tom Selleck's hands are tied in front of him. The henchmen cut the rope with a knife, leaving the knotted rope around both wrists. As the pistol is placed in his belt for the gunfight, there are no ropes around his wrists. [If you watch, just after the ropes are cut and before the weapon is placed in Quigley's belt, you can see Quigley, untie first his right hand and then throw of the rope from his left, just before the cut.]
Quigley leaves crazy Cora in the cave to go the closest town. The bad guy told him the town was to the southwest. As Quigley is riding, the sun is setting on his left, which should be east if he was riding to the southwest. [Depending on the time of year and the route of travel to head to the town, Quigley is still heading in the general direction of the setting sun.]
Right at the start of the movie they show a map illustrating Quigley's travel from San Francisco to Fremantle. As the camera pans across Australia we see a large portion of the north east of the country labelled as North Australia. Quigley is a civil war veteran which means the film must be set after 1865, by which time the Australian state of Queensland had been created. The map is incorrect for the time of the movie. [I have a copy of the screenplay signed by Simon Wincer. It says that the map is 'old, frayed at the edges, practically a sepia antique'. They deliberately chose a very old map for the shot.]
