'El Dorado' is the second film in a Western trilogy. All three films were directed by Howard Hawks. All three films are variations on the story of a sheriff and his friends defending his office against an agressive outlaw element in the town. The other two films are Rio Bravo (1959) and Rio Lobo (1970). John Wayne starred in all three movies.
The following firearms can be seen in El Dorado (1967):
Revolver
Colt SAA
The Colt SAA "Quick-Draw" is used by numerous characters throughout the movie. Most notably Colt Thornton (John Wayne), Sheriff Harran (Robert Mitchum) and Bart Jason (Ed Asner).
Shotgun
Cut-down Double Barrel 12 Gauge
Whne Alan Bourdillion Traherne aka "Mississippi" (James Caan) proves to more adept with a knife than a handgun Thornton (John Wayne) gets him a cut down double barreled 12 gauge.
Rifles
Winchester Model 1892
Both Cole Thorton (John Wayne) and Sheriff Harran (Robert Mitchum) use the Winchester Model 1892 Saddle-ring Carbine with a large loop lever. Joey MacDonald (Michele Carey) also uses the 1892 throughout the movie as her weapon of choice.
Colt Model 1855
Sheriff Harran's deputy Bull Harris (Arthur Hunnicutt) uses the Colt Model 1855.
Remington-Keene Repeating Rifle
The Remington-Keene Repeating Rifle makes a rare movie appearance in the hands of Mrs. MacDonald (Diane Strom). The version she is carrying appears to be the Remington-Keene Deluxe Sporter based on the design of the rifle stock and the long exposed barrel.
