Watch 100 Rifles For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Perfect cast and a good story

The acting in this movie is really good.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

"100 Rifles" is a pretty good western, all things considered. Although shot in Spain, as many "spaghetti westerns" of the day were, this actually isn't a cheap spaghetti western but a well-made, impressively mounted American-made "epic" with some terrific action scenes, a good story that manages to work in comments about racism and genocide, and showcases Burt Reynolds at his most charming and roguish. Jim Brown, who often comes across a bit stiff as an actor, acquits himself quite well, Fernando Lamas has a showy role as a murderous Mexican general and is very effective in it. The film's biggest flaw is Raquel Welch. She looks great, of course, but she is monumentally untalented as an actress. She uses the worst Mexican "accent" I can ever remember hearing--apparently she thinks that rolling her "R's" is all that's needed, and she doesn't even do that very well. Other than to show off her spectacular body--which you really don't get to see all that much of--there's no reason for her to be in this, and her feeble attempts at playing a fiery Indian revolutionary are more embarrassing than anything else.Overall, though, it's a pretty good movie. As I said, the action scenes are very good, climaxed by an attack on a "federale" garrison by Reynolds' and Brown's Indian guerrillas. The movie is definitely worth a look, and is, all things considered, one of Reynolds' better pictures and probably the best western he ever made.

This film had a lot of potential, and had a lot of things going for it (great scenery, good story, big name actors), yet it still falls a little flat. In my opinion, a lot of the reason for this is that the actors, although very good in other roles, were just not well suited for this story. The one exception was Fernando "Dahhlings" Lamas, who really did a great job playing a Mexican general. Jim Brown, who has been good in other movies (i.e. The Dirty Dozen), really wasn't convincing as a sheriff (were there any African-American sheriffs in the Southern USA at this point in time?), and his acting is quite wooden throughout. Raquel Welch, although quite stunning to look at, really was never a great actress, and isn't all that believable as a Mexican guerrilla fighter. And seeing Burt Reynolds in a role as a half Mexican, half American thief is quite unusual and not very authentic either. The story itself is pretty good and briskly paced, and the locations are quite beautiful to look at. Despite the poor casting choices, this is a decent film, and well worth a look. 6 rifles out of 10......

I admit that I liked the film, rather more than I expected to. Jim Brown, while not a professional actor held his own for the most part, although his scenes with Raquel Welch seemed a little forced. This makes me think that acting is not really that hard to do acceptably, since so many non-actors have done OK at it. Welch does her part and looked wonderful. Burt Reynolds was at the top of his game here, before he became a world-wide phenomenon, still had to make his way ACTING. Fernando Lamas was suitably evil as the native general/governor trying to commit genocide on the poor, misunderstood, peaceful Indians. And I have to mention the beauty of the late Soledad Miranda. She brightened the screen in the short time she was on it.

Sheriff Lyedecker (Jim Brown) comes to Mexiko as he chases the bank robber Yaqui Joe (Burt Reynolds). As a victim of circumstance, Lyedecker becomes the number 1 enemy of a Mexican general who wants to kill the Yaqui Indians. The sheriff has no other choice than to fight side by side with the bank robber and the Indians now...The years 1969-1971 mark the beginning of the modern western with the irony of „Little Big Man", the cruelty of „Soldier Blue", the myth awareness of „Butch Cassidy And the Sundance Kid", the depression of „McCabe & Mrs Miller" and many more. „100 Rifles" is a kind of missing link between 1960s westerns and the new approach as from 1970 onwards. It makes deliberate, obvious attempts to break taboos, telling the love story between a black guy and a white woman, pushes violence to the level of an Italian western of that time, includes nudity not only in Raquel Welch's famous shower scene, but also in Soledad Miranda's hotel scene at the beginning, and the screenplay adds a left-wing political, anti-racist theme. „100 Rifles" gets carried away by its own enthusiasm sometimes, putting forward its messages a bit clumsily compared to the elegance of „The Professionals", a movie which took much more careful steps into the revolution movie direction 2 years earlier. Nevertheless, I enjoyed watching the picture for being a (wild) child of its time, speedy narration and a gorgeous Raquel Welch.
