 100 Rifles October 11, 2009
James P. Roberts
Raquel Welch, Jim Brown, Burt Reynolds, etc... made a great movie together. And Raquel only got more beautiful over the years. Well acted! Beautiful scenery throughout.
 The film makes a little sense but a lot of amusing noise... January 13, 2009

The movie takes place during a bloody time period of Mexico history... At that time, anyone coming to Mexico ought to be speaking Spanish... But Lyedecker (Jim Brown) didn't speak the language... He was a black policeman looking for a valuable man, a bank robber named Joe Herrera (Burt Reynolds), who looks Mexican but doesn't talk Mexican... Herrera is a half-breed, whose mother was a Yaqui Indian and his father was from Alabama...
General Verdugo (Fernando Lamas) is sure that the money was not spent on women or on Whisky... For him, Joe stole the $6,000 from the Citizen's Bank in Phoenix, Arizona to buy 100 rifles for his people, the Yaqui Indians...
Verdugo--a murderer and an assassin who runs the State of Sonora--have orders to get rid of the Yaquis any way he could, and he took the easy way by killing everybody... He even kidnapped Yaqui children to regain the rifles... And now he wants Lyedecker's head on a stick in the middle of the plaza for everyone to see...
Lyedecker doesn't care about nothing and nobody... He took a job that nobody else wanted... His intentions are to take Joe back for the $200 reward and a permanent job... The policeman rejected any deal in spite of all the atrocities he witnessed like executing Indians or hanging them up like a side of beef...
Steven Grimes (Dan O'Herlihy)--who runs the railroad-- doesn't want his train to be a small sacrifice to the mean general... The German military adviser Lt. Von Klemme (Eric Braeden) thinks that the Indians must be finished off as quickly as possible before more guns come through... Raquel Welch's most audacious moment comes out when the Indians attack a well-guarded train carrying troops and supplies, and she was openly showering in the flat part, under a water tower...
With a very nice score by Jerry Goldsmith, "100 Rifles" is a slam-bang action epic, with loads of explosions and gory fighting, making little sense but a lot of amusing noise...
Worth adding to your collection February 8, 2008

Stars you wouldn't necessarily put together. Big stars in the era 1960's - 70's. Entertaining and spectacular. Overall a good movie for your collection.
Another Raquel Welch Classic January 29, 2008

Another Raquel Welch masterpiece! The movie 100 Rifles open in theaters on March 26 1969 starring Jim Brown as Lyle Decker, Raquel Welch as Sarita and Burt Reynolds as Yaqui Joe Herrera. The picture opens with Sarita sitting by a fire with her father in the middle of nowhere. Entering the picture General Versugo who runs the Mexico solders and he's there to hang Sarita father. The General takes Sarita as a prisoner and takes her to his town. Entering the picture is Yaqui Joe Herrera who just robbed six thousand dollars from a bank in Phoenix and spent the night in town drinking and sleeping with Mexico woman. Entering the picture is Lyle Decker who is a sheriff from Phoenix looking for Joe Herrera to take him back to Phoenix. When Joe wakes up, he sees three Yaqui Indians tied and hung on telephone poles. General Versugo has his soldiers kill six more. Lyle Decker tells the General who he is and why he has come to his town. The General takes both Lyle Decker and Joe to his train where Lyle Decker tells the General that Joe stole 6 thousand dollars and American Law wanted him for 200 hundred dollars. The General wants to know what he did with all the money and Joe tells him that he spent it on whiskey and woman. However, Joe spent the money on guns to help the Yaqui Indians. Joe, Lyle Decker, and Sarita all escape from the General who sends out soldiers to fine them. Joe and Decker are capture and right before they're shot by a firing squad, Sarita returns with help to rescue them and now control of Mexico is on. 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 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.
Fernando Lamas a good bad guy January 2, 2007

I admit - Raquel Welch, what a woman! I liked the acters in this flick. It wasn't bad. Burt Reynolds played a good wastrel. Fernando Lamas was the best though as the evil Mexican Commandant with his Colonel Klink sidekick/advisor (Victor Newman from the 'Young & the Restless'). Actually, Victor Newman, is an excellent cool actor. He should have been in more leading roles. I like his cool Prussian demeanor and would make a great stock bad guy. I was surprised that Jim Brown was able to pull it off not too bad.
One of those good 70s westerns, I recommend it.
