Just stumbled across this tonight. Guns from one of the best westerns of all time (jmo).

Watched Shanghi Noon with Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson again tonight. Action comedy western...
I usually go to IMDB.COM and read the Trivia /goofs first, if I've already seen the movie.

They say to watch for Chan's indian wife incorrectly loading her Henry lever action, dropping the rounds "bullet down" into the tubular mag just before she rescues them by shooting thru a rope at the hanging scene. Sure enough... loads the shells backwards into the classic Henry.

I watch a bunch... and of course you'll see them in true westerns, but I saw Henrys in a number of others in just the past couple weeks. Two stand out. The first was kind of a western... Tremors 4. Bert Gummer comes riding back into "Frontier Perfection" just in time to save the town with a wagon load of firepower including a huge punt gun, and an 1860s Henry which he hands to one of the women. "The cartridge is a bit weak," he says " but it holds a lot of them. " or something to that effect.

The second was a post apocalypse thing where different groups battle to survive, called the "Domestics," which wasn't great, but a fun romp.
The final big shootout has the heroine shooting bad guys (and gals) with a Big Boy Carbine.

Doing a fine job of it, I might add, even shows her reloading the tubular mag.

Yellow Boy or 1866 with forearm removed. Hence the side loading gate.

Actually I hadn't even realized this myself until very recently and I came across someone on another forum pointing this out. Then again it wasn't until I started looking at getting a reproduction that I paid such close attention to it in the first place. It's funny too, because earlier in this thread the same picture is used as an example that a Henry is being used. Hard to tell from this picture but it does kind of look like the magazine and barrel are not one piece of metal which is what you would expect from a 1866 and not a Henry. No visible magazine follower as well, but then again this is not the best picture.

No visible magazine follower as well,

There will not be a mag follower with a side gate loader.
In the 'early days' mod 73s were commonly used as prop guns with the foreshocks removed to resemble Henry's.
I was at a gun show a few years ago and a dealer had a couple modified 73s for sale that had a movie production company name stamped on them.

Understand, and I was just trying to point out the various things that were either not present or present that would make it something other than a Henry.

Watched the Man from Laramie the other night and there's a lady in a wagon the breaks up a fight early in the movie with her Henry rifle. An actual Henry, no side load gate and the mag tube follower.

One of the old Gunsmoke movies, I think it was The Long Ride James Arness uses a real Henry. I just watched it last night. They are playing all James Arness movies and shows all this month on INSP.

Watching the last season of Longmire a short while ago.
His daughter was given one as a present, then ends up using it to safe herself and another girl.
She has trouble loading it, looking for the loading gate

but finally figures it out.
