[@cjr4286]

Anyone else notice that Ethan starts out the scene with a different rifle than the one he finishes with? The first is an 1892 carbine with a barrel band and the next shots show him with an 1892 short rifle with a forend cap. Of course, if this is "Texas, 1868" like the movie proclaims in the beginning, none of the weapons used in this scene would have even existed. They should have cap and ball revolvers and 1860 Henry/1866 Winchester rifles (and even that is assuming they would have had access to newly designed weapons right away). Despite the anachronisms, though, this scene is classic!

Great scene. I'm SURE the Comanches classic strategy was to ride into a river and then stand around while the invaders picked them off. Only in Hollyweird.

[@travelerx]

The Commanches? It was standard cavalry practise worldwide. Over rivers, along valleys, straight at cannon etc etc

[@BobSmith-dk8nw]

The Indians didn't choose the spot. The Texans did. They chose to defend at that river because they could get down behind cover while the river would slow the Indians charge and they could just pick them off. It was stupid on the Indians part to attack here - but - as John points out - they (and especially their Chief) have to to save face. They've chased these guys, whom they severely outnumber and now - to back down just because they are on the far side of the water - they don't want to do that. Of course - if they'd had a smarter Chief he would have convinced them to find another crossing point. The problem is - there may not have been one. THIS may have been the ford - which was the reason the Texans were there. Other places the river may have been to swift and to deep to cross. .

Wikipedia entry says this is set in 1868. Shouldn't their revolvers be cap and ball rather than the later single action (or are those double action) revolvers that they appear to be sporting?

[@williamkerr2121]

GREAT MOVIE! However, they got the guns wrong. The movie starts in 1868 and ends some five years later. All the handguns through out are either 1873 Colts or Model 1892 Winchesters. But what the hell? It's John Ford and company. I'll live with it.

[@dtnetlurker]

Hollywood often had later models stand in for older guns because those were already antiques by the 30s and 40s. The Colt 1873 for the Remington or Colt percussion, and the 1892, 94, or 73 Winchester for the 1866 or 60. The 1892 Winchester in particular does look rather close to the 1866, so I can see why they often used it.

@@kam_loves_cats This is honestly such a stupid comment. The "natives" themselves warred over territory between themselves long before whites showed up. History didn't begin in 1492. Any people that have a piece of land "stole" it from other people. I don't deny that Indians were sometimes mistreated, but there is nothing exceptional about what the white man did. The only thing that was exceptional was his success at dominating other tribes through know how and technological might.
