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 the Doctor. Henry Price saved the worker Tepepa from being shot by soldiers, both embarked fully on 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" such made in Italy. The film was a relative success in the European and international market, 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
In very few scenes, you can see a Colt Single Action Army. 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 10 revolvers, but these are holstered and not used.
Pistols
Mauser C96
Henry Prime (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.
Rifles
Garate El Tigre
Several Tepepa 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 [[Karabiner 98k] is used by the revolutionaries of Tepepa.
Steyr-Mannlicher M1895
What appears to be a Steyr-Mannlicher M1895 rifle 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 rifle at one of his guerrilleros.
Remington Model 721
What appears to be a 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. When Tepepa comes to the rescue of his double and the revolutionaries kidnapped by the Mexican army.
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" rifle, but fails. Several revolutionaries are also armed with Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy".
Machine Guns
Hotchkiss M1914
During the ambush of a group of Mexican soldiers towards Tepepa, one of the soldiers fires a Hotchkiss M1914 machine gun.
Maxim M1895 (Mocked-up as a Browning M1917)
During the climax of the film, some soldiers carry a Maxim M1895 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 machine gun. It is never used against the revolutionaries, since Tepepa (Tomás Millián) manages to throw Vickers Mk. I from the carriage that was transporting him with a whip.
