Connagher

[nobody1369]

Anybody familiar with the movie " Connagher" ? Based on Louis L'Amour's novel. Anyway Mr. Teale rides off to buy cattle and causes his horse to fall and break his leg. He then has to shoot his horse. His pistol starts out with a brass frame, round barrel, but in the parting shot same pistol now has a steel frame and an octagon barrel!
Otherwise this is the best "based on " ever made. As far as his novels are concerned. Read the book and recorded TNT's premier in 1992.

Sometime they shoot scenes at different day's they probably forgot what pistol they used last month.I watched a movie the other day it was supposed to be 1848 and they were carrying 1851 navy and 1860 Army pistols.

I have always wondered why the scene from the book where Conagher finds the skeletal remains and the gold never made it onto the screen. It would have pulled the dialogue in the closing scenes together. The scene was filmed because a still shot is included on the DVD cover montage.

one of the best parts of the book.

There's a "pistol swap" in Dances With Wolves, too. Keep your eyes open during the scene where Dunbar attempts to escape the wagon in mid-river- one of his captors starts the fight with a Colt and ends it with a Remington (or maybe vice versa.)

...and then that idiot, played by Costner, throws his empty Navy Colt in the river during the fight..I wonder if they ever recovered the gun?

Rarely does "Hollywood" consider weapons as an important and near precise gauge of history timeline. "Hollywood" generally does not consider people like us as a major source of their income. Consider the eyepatch controversy of the "True Grit" remake only people like us would notice and take exception.

Jeff Bridges stated he wore it over the opposite eye as a tribute to, and in deference to, the Duke. If it matters, in the book Rooster had a bad eye but no patch.
