Henry Movies Today
« on: December 31, 2006, 12:41:10 PM »
Sitting here recouping from shoulder surgery, I just watched Willie Nelson as a defrocked preacher kill two bad guys, who were  assailing a lady, with his 1860  Henry.  It os on the Hallmark channel.  The next movie is "The Outsider" where the hero also totes a henry.  Maybe later I will get out lonesome dove <g> and get a Henry fix.  Already watched Unforgivien and got my Spencer fix.

How about the HBO series "DEADWOOD". When Charlie Udder comes across Seth Bullock lying unconsious after his (Bullocks') fight with the renegade Indian. I think it's the fifth episode in the first season. Charlie  dismounts and cocks his '66 and scouts the area.
Worth watchin'.

I think the movie you were watching with Willie as the preacher was "Redheaded Stranger".  Good show.  The girl is Kathrine Ross of Butch Cassity and the Sundance Kid fame.

Yep, not a bad movie.  Better than a lot.

I also like the one where Willie is with Gary Busey - but I don't remember that one's name.

Henry Movies Today?
Well  first movie is ' Last Stand at Saber River' with Tom Selleck
American Outlaws.Where Gabriel MAcht as Frank James shoots with his Henry and eliminate a Gatlin Gun and a canon. ;)
Next, Silverado., where Danny Glover intones 'Have you ever seen what a Henry rifle can do to someone?'
In 'Shenandoah' where James Stewart and his sons are using Henrys.But i think that they where '66 Winchesters without the wooden forearm.They also have all loading gates at there side.When i'm right the first Henry with a loading gate was the Henry Rifle  s/n 13001 mfg 1866 - Experimental Henry w/loading gate.

In The Horse Soldiers, John Wayne's troops were armed with "Henrys."  Actually they were Model '92s, brass plated with the fore stocks removed.  A very early example of Hollywood trying to do it correct with what was available.

If you watch Last stand at Saber River it has both Henrys & Spencers plus a hole heap of guns you don't see in a lot of films.

I Seem to remember Col. Marlow's troops had Trapdoor Springfields & 75 Remingtons....

Perhaps the Butternut guerillas, Hank Worden, Ken Curtis , etal had the 92's you saw....

Dusty ...Barbarosa is correct....

"Saber River"  with Tom Selleck, great movie.  Tom's movies use historical period correct weapons in most of his cowboy period movies.  Nothing finer than a good Henry Rifle! 

"Alvarez Kelly" staring William Holden and Richard Widmark (1966) also used the Herny Rifle.  Set during the "War of Northern Aggression."  Based on an event during the war.  A  herd of yankee beef is recoverd from the yankees by CSA Col Tom Rossiter (Army of Northern Virginia), and the herd is delivered to starving Confederate troops in Richmond. Great movie.

Hey Tuolumne Lawman hows the shoulder doing.  Had two myself second was december 2005.   I takes time to mend so don't push it.

It shows Gus doing a little damage with his Henry in Lonesome Dove.

yes and no... there was a maker Rumored here in the States.... after much searching and contacting...It get hold of one,
 I wound up with a Original w/ the North's improvement, that is what I need for the Mini Series North & South 1.
As I recall, the price first quoted for the replica was around $900... later it seemed to jump to $1100. By then the
Rumor they dried up and went away... I doubt many were ever made.

Yesterday i saw 'Indian Fighter' with Kirk Douglas from 1955 on TV.
I one scene i looks like Kirk Douglas shooting a Henry?
And some of the Lakotas also carring Henrys.But i think that all the Henrys are '94 Winchesters.

I'm looking also for a movie with Brian Keith.I don't remember the name of the movie, but i remember that he had a wagon full of Henrys he wnts to sell.Anybody here who knows the name of that movie?

Nevada Smith comes to mind but I don't remember Henrys... But he was a Gun dealer with a wagon load.

I'll dig a little deeper
