Buffalo Creek Law Dog Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I was watching an episode from the newly released 10th season of Bonanza, in which the Ben Johnson character (an army deserter) was holding Little Joe, at bay with a Henry '60 rifle however, you could tell by the location of the button that it was empty. He kept Little Joe approx 5' apart at bay for quite a while with this empty Henry. Ben's wife was carrying a Winchester '66 with the fore stock removed. In one scene she was carrying the empty Henry then back with the '66 in another scene. I was thinking that before I got involved with cowboy shooting, I would have never noticed any of this. I have watched the Duke in the Searchers several times, but it wasn't until after I got into cowboy shooting that I noticed that when they were chased across the river by the Indians and then set up a defensive position on the other side, that Duke was firing a '94 carbine and in the next scene he was firing a '94 short rifle, then back to the '94 carbine.

Alpo Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 While the rifle in that scene in The Searchers did change back and forth from a SRC to a Short Rifle, it never was a 94. It was a 92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 "Ben's wife"? Oooh. You meant "Ben Johnson's character's wife". Talking about Bonanza, and say "Ben's wife", and I'm thinking, "Wait a minute now. All three of Ben's wives were dead". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And didn't John Wayne use a "92 in all of his movies. Pretty sure I saw one in The Conqueror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Only gun people would notice that sort of detail or continuity error. Of course car guys are the same way, as are airplane enthusiasts. I try my best to just relax and enjoy the movie, but when I watch it mostly for the guns it makes it kinda hard.

When I mentioned to the wife about the Henry being unloaded and the "66 had the fore stock removed to make it look like a Henry, her comment was, "I don't care, I just want to watch the show."
