Hannie Caulder is a 1971 Western starring Raquel Welch as the title character, a woman who wants to exact revenge on the gang of outlaw brothers who terrorized her and killed her husband. Robert Culp co-stars as a bounty hunter whom Hannie asks to train her in the ways of the gun. The film was directed by Burt Kennedy (The War Wagon) and the cast also included Ernest Borgnine, Strother Martin, Jack Elam, and Christopher Lee. Though directed by an American and starring well known american actors "Hannie Caulder" is actually a British movie. Tigon British Film Productions made the film. Famous for such B grade horror movies as Witchfinder General (1968) The Blood on Satan's Claw (1971) and The Creeping Flesh(1972). "Hannie Caulder" came about because Michael Tenser, head of Tigon, had always wanted to make a Western and Raquel Welch was willing to make a western. The movie was filmed in Spain during the winter of 1971. In an interview with Gerald Peary Quentin Tarantino (famous for his love of cult and grindhouse movies) has said the film was one of his inspirations for Kill Bill. "Why I love Hannie Caulder so much is Robert Culp. He is so magnificent in that movie. I actually think there's a bit of similarity between Sonny Chiba and Uma Thurman (in Kill Bill) and Raquel Welch and Robert Culp in Hannie Caulder."
Tranter Revolver
Hannie Caulder (Raquel Welch) carries an English Tranter self-cocking revolver. Based on the size, this is likely a 54-bore (.442 calibre) model. In the film, this revolver is scratch-made by a gunsmith named Bailey (Christopher Lee).
Remington 1875
Emmett Clemens (Ernest Borgnine) uses a Remington 1875 throughout the film.
Colt Single Action Army
Both Frank Clemens (Jack Elam) and the mysterious stranger (Stephen Boyd) in black use Colt Single Action Army Revolvers as their main weapons.
Smith & Wesson New Model No.3
Thomas Luther Price (Robert Culp) carries two revolvers one in a side holster and one in a cross draw holster. One of these weapons which Hannie takes in order to practice shooting appears to be a Smith & Wesson New Model No.3 with the 7.5" barrel.
Adams Revolver
Tom Price (Robert Culp) also carries an Adams Revolver on his strong side. He uses it to shoot the bottles that Hannie is missing with his Smith & Wesson and also in the gun fight with a group of bandits. When they arrive at Bailey's home (Christopher Lee) Bailey asks Price if that old Adams has blown up yet. Price replies that it's still holding true. This isn't an implausible scenario. The Confederacy imported approximately 1,000 Adams revolvers and there was a company in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts that made a copy of the Adams. The Union purchased several hundred of the American Adams during the civil war as well.
