Tuco at the Gun Shop

To me, this was the first scene that shows off what Tuco's really made of. Underneath the jokes and bluster and his unrefined, abrasive nature you have a gunslinger every bit as capable and cunning as The Man With No Name. A masterclass scene in a masterclass film. 🤌

Just seen John wick 3 ...they kinda remake this scene with a little bit of the "some come thru the window " mixed in.

Anyone know what he put together?

not to mention the emotions !
only a proffesianol KNOWS.

this exact scene always comes back to me more than five times check the bridges site bad times also.

de l'eau 😱🤣🤣🤣

Tuco fires 5 bullets on target. He fires the 6th one. Looks like he missed. I like the fact that the shop keeper nods in disapproval.

a stupid one like him who didnt have a shotgun to defend himself , what a stupid and naif oldman , he could kill that tuco in 1 second if he had only a small gun like angel eyes (the bad) in few dollars more when he killed juan wild the man from el indio team .

TUCO: I am inspired to tune a Colt single six race.. Great movie..

Here after watching the John Wick revolver building scene and being told it was paying homage to this.

Gun safety, like the movie RUST, was not a top priority in the film.

Even Jhon Wick respects Tuco 😂

COLEY FOLEY SAYS: "IF YOU WORK FOR A LIVING, WHY DO YOU KILL YOURSELF WORKING"...? HAHAHA! ON "SINNNNA-MAXXXX" AGAIN RIGHT NOW.

The irony of this scene.
A gun store owner, surrounded by weapons of which he could actively defend himself with, takes no precautions in a harsh new world thus enabling bad men like tuco to take advantage of this knowing full well that a gun store owner would likely have no thought that a man would come in and let himself be robbed with one of his very own guns.

Inprov on Wallach's part, who nothing about guns, especially the Colt Navys. Director Leone just told him to act like he knew what he was doing and that's what he did. Utterly impossible as especially the cylinders had to be hand matched to the frames and actions, but with the Italian Westerns, especially Sergio Leone's, you just accept them as Opera Dramatic License, but (thankfully) without singing, You just take it for granted Tucco is actually very competent in this mater, and knows how to match the best barrel, the best trigger, and the best cylinder action in the lot of Colt Navys in the case.

I miss spaghetti westerns

A revolver's cylinder is matched to its barrel at the factory. Tuco switching these components out shows how little he understands about revolvers. He got lucky that his Franken-gun didn't blow up on his face.

The O.G. Tuco!

Correct me if I’m wrong here but Tuco was taking different parts specifically from Colt revolvers to construct his own revolver?
Or was he using parts from different manufacturers to assemble his own revolver? I doubt different manufacturers parts would fit together. I always wondered about this part.

Van cleef was good but eli was epic , the reason i watch gbu over and over again is tuco ramirez

I feel so bad for this old guy

Lesson in life don’t be the hero. Treat everyone as if it were your last day. 😊

To me, this is the American (or Italian depending how you look at it) equivalent of Zatoichi cutting the sake bottle

That was such a nice old man. He let him come in after close, through his revolvers on the ground and still was gonna sell him a pistol that he just threw together! Then Rob that poor man! At least he left the bottle... he knew he'd need a drink after that lol.

Pore man

I love the scene where he disassembles 3 guns. It's a piece that he thinks is good. and reassembled 3 gun parts into the highest quality gun 🔫🤯

After watching the scene Tuco wasn’t robbing owner
HE DIDNT WANT TO PAY THE 20$ he thought it was too much
Owner got scared and thought he was robbing him
But tried to not too loose it all Tuco being a thug said if your giving it up I WILL TAKE.

How much?
$20
No, how much? 🔫

Ha ha 😂

Great film.

RIP Enzo Petito ❤

I love that he robs the guy but leaves him the drink as if to say “I need this shirt t right now but you’ll get over it, drown your sorrows”

Always hear about Navy Colts in Westerns.

Never ONCE seen the Navy of the 19th century depicted onscreen! 🤣

How Tuco invent asmr

That's bad.

this scene alone is worth a thousand oscars.

From what I understand, Tuco is building his own gun from a series of Colt Navy revolvers. He likes the frame of one but opts for a cylinder of another, and a barrel of yet another. And with him using cartridges, these were converted Colt Navy's from Cap and Ball to cartridges.

Is no one else curious how a gun store owner was robbed so easily?

my favorite scene of the whole film! Tuco was such a badass from surviving the desert to going straight to strapping up once he hits civilization, and the gun modding made my day. imo it really makes the character seem like a pro killer and yet he leaves the poor shop owner his bottle to lick his wounds, absolutely excellent!

I love that cute little range out back. The old west is the bomb.

Okay so why did he kitbash his own revolver? Genuine question. And when he is listening to it, what exactly is he hearing for?

My favorite scene in the movie and the store owner, great acting upon his part.

Would that work? Putting a revolver together from different gun parts

Is there a technical name for that wrap thing tuco has on his left hand when he fans the hammer

Of course the shooting targets are caricatures of Native Americans LOL
