@sonic2277 Yep! It's 35mm motion-picture film - film - not video. It has only been in the last couple of years that the best, most expensive, professional-grade video cameras have just begun to approach matching the resolution of motion-picture film. It's going to be quite a while yet before anything consumer grade comes close to it.
lol supposedly eli had no idea what to do with a gun, so he just fiddled with the ones on set in this scene. kind of hard to believe, seems like he knows what he's doing lol
What I love about this scene isn't about the guns, but what it says about Tuco. He's been on foot for god knows how many days, without food or water, and the first thing he does when he gets to town is steal a gun. And it also shows his skill; he's only been in town for ten minutes and he can fire 6 perfect shots. He may not be as fast as blindly, but he's just as accurate.
@TheLordTantalus "he's only been in town for ten minutes and he can fire 6 perfect shots." - Yeah! Usually people have to be in town a good half-hour or so at least before they can pull off 6 perfect shots!
"In the gun store, everything Eli Wallach does with the guns is completely unscripted. Eli knew little about the guns, so he was instructed to do whatever he wanted."
I found this info on IMDB. I did some research after I read your comment actually. LOL!!
Poor guy just wanted to close up shop and have a drink. Hehe not on Tuco's watch. You can totally tell the shop keeper is Italian by the way he says "revolvers" shrugging his shoulders.
Regarding the continuity error I mentioned earlier about Tuco's conversion of his 1851 Navy from percussion to cartridge in this Gun shop, he is again seen possessing a percussion Navy at the final Trio sequence (Spot the percussion nipples lacking the caps which Eastwood removed the previous night). These and any other errors detected (like Van Cleef's cartridge belt for his percussion 1858 Remington) are really minor errors. Every period movie has them. None is ever detail perfect.
@kallo182 I think it's possible but it really depends on what guns and what parts. However back then it would have been harder because the parts of guns were harder to crank out at exactly the same size and weight. Even switching barrels of the same gun, made by the same people might not work.
But the scene gets away with this because it is cool and it might not have been impossible. Maybe Tuco is that good.
Hendo56. There is also a continuity mistake at 2.10. When Tuco interchanges the Navy's percussion cylinder for a metallic cartridge one at 1.48 (not yet in existence in the early 1860s), he's seen rotating the cylinder between his hands while looking through the six chambers. But at 2.10, just before he says "Cartridges", you can clearly see the Navy with a percussion cylinder again(note the cap nipples) instead of the bored through metallic cartridge cylinder he'd just fitted at 1.55!
@DarthJac0bus If they were the same make and model you could. Parts were interchangeable between models, but not between different manufacturers (Remington v Colt, for example). All of the parts Tuco uses come from Colt 1851 Navy models, with some dramatic license, since the gun uses cartridges and not blackpowder and caps. Cartridge conversions did not appear until after the Civil War.
Did you guys know that Charles Bronson was offered the role of Tucu but wanted Eastwoods role instead. Eli was a second or maybe even third option! I could never imagine this movie without Eli or Lee! Thanks for not accepting the role Charles you did this great classic a favor.
I personally believe that if there just so happened to be a remake, I hope that all 3 of the "Man With No Name" Trilogy would be just as epic, would have the emotional attention to detail and have an actor at least comarable to Clint Eastwood. Becauase lets face it.. Clint Eastwood is a cinematic legend. I would want a legend to play a legend

@Numboss I did notice that... Seemed a bit off. Firstly that the loading gate was on the wrong side of the revolver, then I realized the closed sign was backwards.
