Cultural Impact
Webley Mark VI .455 revolvers (as stated above, not adopted until 1915) often serve as a stereotypical British revolver in film and television; their appearance in the film Zulu, for example, is incorrect. Lt. Chard, the officer in command at Rorke's Drift, carried a Webley .450 RIC solid frame revolver.

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or impact:
“If we can learn ... to look at the ways in which various groups appropriate and use the mass-produced art of our culture ... we may well begin to understand that although the ideological power of contemporary cultural forms is enormous, indeed sometimes even frightening, that power is not yet all-pervasive, totally vigilant, or complete.”
—Janice A. Radway (b. 1949)
“Too many existing classrooms for young children have this overriding goal: To get the children ready for first grade. This goal is unworthy. It is hurtful. This goal has had the most distorting impact on five-year-olds. It causes kindergartens to be merely the handmaidens of first grade.... Kindergarten teachers cannot look at their own children and plan for their present needs as five-year-olds.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
