topbreaks featured in movies
« on: October 16, 2010, 04:05:51 AM »
I started this thread to find some I haven't yet seen as I always like to see 'em.
I also like to see how they affect the owner character. 
Is it used to define him/her as an outsider, a misfit, a loner, or someone who marches to a different drummer.

Plenty of low slow ones over the plate, so knock 'em out o' the park, folks.

For starters, I think there was "The Schofield Kid" in the movie "Unforgiven".

But to me, the BEST use of Schofields in a movie has to be "3:10 to Yuma" (the recent remake) -- with the nice pair carried (to great effect) by Charlie Prince.

Here's a link to his gear on YouTube:

If you like Webleys there's "Zulu", and "The Good, The Bad, and The Weird". just off the top of my head.  Of course my favorite has always been the Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver" in "The Maltese Falcon".

Sam Elliott, carries one in "Conagher".  Which is one of my favorites.

Warren Beatty carried some sort of European topbreak in "McCabe and Mrs. Miller." Sean Connery carried a Webley-Fosberry automatic revolver in "Zardoz." Brian Keith trained Steve McQueen on a S&W in "Nevada Smith."

No offense meant but that was a Smith and Wesson no. 3 Russian.

There is a rather sucky Frank and Jesse James movie called "American Bandits" where both carry Schofields. A Lou Diamond Phillips movie called "The Trail to Hope Rose". I am sure I know of more but those are 2 and another not mentioned was "Tombstone" where Virgil Earp (Sam Elliot) carried a Schofield.

Randy Quaid as John Wesley Hardin used a nickel plated top break in Streets of Laredo.
A work in progress.
