Raquel Welch fantastic again

100 Rifles was release in Australia at the beginning of March and wasn't release in New York City until March 26, 1969. 100 Rifles is a 1969 western directed by Tom Gries. The film stars Jim Brown, Burt Reynolds, Raquel Welch, and Fernando Lamas. Jerry Goldsmith composed the original music.

Summary: In the early 1900's, Yaqui Joe, a half-breed Indian, robs an Arizona bank and flees across the border into the Mexican town of Nogales where the governor, General Verdugo, aided by a German military adviser, Von Klemme, is waging a war of annihilation against the Yaqui Indians. Verdugo captures Joe and orders him shot, whereupon Lyedecker, a black American deputy assigned to bring the half-breed back to the States, intervenes, and is himself arrested. The two men escape to the hills where Sarita, a beautiful Indian revolutionary, joins them. After Joe has revealed that he used the bank loot to purchase 100 rifles for the Indians, General Verdugo once more captures the two men and orders them shot. Determined to see that the rifles reach her people, Sarita leads an attack on the General's hacienda and frees the two men as well as the rifles. Enraged, Lyedecker, finally on over to both Sarita and the Indian cause, rescues the children, and vows to destroy Verdugo.

Question: What did Verdugo storm Yaqui village. Who finally won over both Sarita and the Indians? Who took over the leadership of the Yaquis? Why did Lyedecker ambushes Verdugo's train? Who distracted the attention of the soldiers? Why was the railroad manager, Grimes, captured by the Indians? Who outwitted the General?

Now a few thoughts about this picture. I thought Jim brown was excellent in his role as Lyle Decker. Not only were Brown and excellent football player he was a good actor. What can you say about Burt Reynolds that hasn't already been said. He was usually his funny self with ways of getting out of trouble like any actor I know. Finally Raquel Welch! Her role as Sarita was fantastic the way she handle herself in the entire picture. The part where she's changing he clothes in the tent and the shower part under the watering tank was the best part of the movie. I give this picture 10 star for two reasons. The first and the most important was Raquel Welch as the leading woman with her beautiful body and her fantastic mine. The second reason because if you like action this movie had it and plenty of it.

Some Trivia about this movie: Though this movie has often been called a "spaghetti western," it actually isn't. That term is applied to westerns that were filmed by European companies (usually Italian), with a European (usually Italian) cast and crew and shot in Spain, because its terrain closely resembles the northeast Mexico/southwest US area. Although this film was shot in Spain, an American studio (20th Century-Fox) filmed it with an American director, producer, writers, and mostly American crew. Star Burt Reynolds' previous film, Navajo Joe, would be properly regarded as a "spaghetti western," but not this one.
