Tepepa (Also known as: Blood and Guns or Viva la revolución, lit: Long Live The Revolution) is a 1969 Italian-Spanish Spaghetti Western directed by Giulio Petroni starring Tomás Milián as the revolutionary (and titular) Tepepa.
After Doctor Henry Price saves the worker Tepepa from being shot by soldiers, both join the Mexican Revolution for purely selfish reasons; Tepepa on a simple whim against Francisco Madero and Price out of revenge. Meanwhile, Colonel Cascorro will not stop pursuing the revolutionaries until he finds Tepepa, the main objective, and in the process subvert the movement before it gains strength throughout the territory.
Tepepa is considered the first "Zapata Western" made in Italy. The film was a relative success in the European and international market, as is considered one of the best Spaghetti/Zapata Westerns.
However, according to the director, Giuliano Petroni, the film's set was in constant chaos due to the tensions that existed between Tomás Milián and Orson Welles, whom Petroni claims was personally disappointing, since he demonstrated bad behavior towards Tomás Milián, even insulting him by calling him "Dirty Cuban" or "That Cuban".
The following weapons were used in the film Tepepa (1969):
Revolvers
Colt 1873 Single Action Army
The Colt Single Action Army is seen in a few scenes. The models used appear to be Uberti replicas due to the brass trigger guard they have.
Smith & Wesson Model 10 (M&P)
Colonel Cascorro (Orson Welles) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 10 as his personal weapon. The vast majority of Mexican Army soldiers also carry Smith & Wesson Model 10s, but these are holstered and not used.
Pistols
Mauser C96
Henry Price (John Steiner) carries a Mauser C96 as his main weapon, however, Tepepa (Tomás Milián) is the one who uses it most frequently, since it was stolen from him. Taking into account that the film was shot in Spain, it is possible that it is an Astra 900.
Submachine Guns
Thompson M1928A1 (Mocked-up as a Hotchkiss M1914)
During the ambush of a group of Mexican soldiers on Tepepa, one of the soldiers fires a Hotchkiss M1914. A closer inspection reveals this weapon is actually a mock-up built from an M1928A1 Thompson.
Rifles
Garate El Tigre
Several of Tepepa's revolutionaries are armed with Garate El Tigre rifles, to a lesser extent than the Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy".
Mauser Model 1893
What appears to be an 1893 Spanish Mauser appears briefly at the Mexican revolutionaries' base, it is also used by the Mexican Army in some scenes.
Karabiner 98k
Although to a lesser extent than the rest of the Mauser rifles, the (anachronistic) Karabiner 98k is used by Tepepa's revolutionaries.
Steyr-Mannlicher M1895
What appears to be a Steyr-Mannlicher M1895 is briefly used by Tepepa (Tomás Milián) when he finds Henry Price with a woman. After Tepepa leaves Henry alone, he throws the Steyr-Mannlicher M1895 at one of his guerrilleros.
Remington Model 721
What appears to be a (also anachronistic) Remington Model 721 is used at several points in the film. Tepepa (Tomás Milián) holds a Remington Model 721 while negotiating with Governor Francisco Madero.
Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy"
When Henry Price (John Steiner) encounters Tepepa (Tomás Milián) again, at the last minute he decides to try to kill him using a Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy", but fails. Several revolutionaries are also armed with a Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy".
Machine Guns
Maxim 1895 (Mocked-up as a Browning M1917)
During the climax of the film, some soldiers carry a Maxim 1895 machine gun mocked-up as a Browning M1917, due to the jacket with brass caps.
Vickers Mk. I
During the climax of the film, the Mexican Army transports a Vickers Mk. I. It is never used against the revolutionaries, since Tepepa (Tomás Millián) manages to throw the Vickers Mk. I from the carriage that was transporting him with a whip.
