the one with Sam elliott, toward the end a guy was shooting a
winchester with a loading gate made to look like a henry, complete
with a henry follower and split mag tube. SAD !!!!

I've got that one on DVD. The rifle is a Win 92. Hollyweird modified many of those to look sorta like Henrys. All they did really was make the rifle look like a Rube Goldberg contraption.

In their defense, there weren't the good replica Henry rifles available at that time...(still despise the Hollywood philosophy). Liberal bastiges!!

In watching old movies I hate to think of the value today of the originals they were using. Of course back then they were just old guns.

I've noticed that goof, too. But mostly I just noticed Kate Capshaw ...

The new version has some nice Italian replicas, and Sharon Stone.

I never heard of that one. I'll have to look it up. Thanks.

I just watched that version and saw that horrible looking '92 made to somewhat look like a Henry. I guess what I don't understand is, why. They had other Henry's. I suppose they where Italian.

IMO, the Sam Elliot version comes a damnsight closer to real life for settlers traveling on the prairie, in spite of Kate wearing that flimsy stuff. The Gene Hackman, Russel Crowe, Sharon Stone version is nothing but a joke. jd45

I watched Rancho Deluxe last night, which I hadn't seen since the flight deck of CV-66 in 1976.
It's a modern cattle-rustling western, where the rustlers are the protagonists and do get their just desserts.
But it's a fun movie and there's a 50-cal Sharps in the plot.

I'm not much of a Sam Elliot fan, but that's probably as good as he gets.

Stone is fine, but the rest of the cast of that particular movie I would be happy to never see again. Hackman and "DiCapitated" particularly.

Brent, have you never seen Elliot in "The Rough Riders"? I thought he was pretty good in that, but if you're not a fan, I guess you might not be impressed. I got all choked up right along with Tom Berenger as Teddy R. at the end when he said "They're no cowards here this day, or something to that effect. jd45

I don't recall that one directly. If it was from his younger days, like the one in discussion, I'd probably like it. I think his style grew a little old on me over time. Everyone has their favorites. I hear there are even people that think John Wayne is great...

I do like Sam Elliott. I have the VHS of his "Quick and the Dead" as well as a tape of "Conagher," another Louis L'Amour he did for Turner, with his wife, Katherine Ross. They have a ranch here in Oregon. Someone spotted him at a Portland doctor's office not long ago. He was taking his mom to her appointment.
Regular guy.
