Another Raquel Welch Classic

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

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. January 2, 2007

OK movie, some good parts

Overall, the movie is an OK western. Very watchable, but not great by any definition of the word. But it has some memorable scenes, like the Raquel Welch scene at the water tower. July 8, 2006
