Fanfan la Tulipe is a 2003 French swashbuckler comedy, a remake of famous 1952 film directed by Gérard Krawczyk and starring Vincent Perez and Penélope Cruz.
The following weapons were used in the film Fanfan la Tulipe:
Flintlock Pistol
Flintlock Pistols are seen in hands of Fanfan (Vincent Perez), Adeline (Penélope Cruz), Corsini (Gérald Laroche), Adjudant (Sgt. Maj.) Fier-à-Bras (Philippe Dormoy), French gendarmes and highwaymen. Several different models are used.
Charleville Model 1777 Cavalry Officer Flintlock- .69 cal
British 1756 Light Dragoon Pistol - .68 caliber
Gendarmes carry pistols and muskets when they arrest Fanfan. The gendarmes' pistols have short handguards and resemble Mle 1777 Officer model.
A gendarme carries a pistol tucked into his belt.
A highwayman aims at Fanfan.
The pistol "fires" very plausible, with sparks from the lock and muzzle fire.
Fanfan holds a pistol when he breaks into the castle to save abducted Adeline. This is a cavalry model with full-length handguard, more in British style.

Brown Bess Flintlock Musket
French and British soldiers also carry Brown Bess Flintlock Muskets, identified by the different barrel bands and muzzle caps. In reality these guns were never adopted in France.

Cannons
Field cannons of 18th to early 19th century patterns are seen on the battlefield. These are definitely modern replicas.
