Movie Night - 100 Rifles

Jim Brown, Burt Reynolds (with a horrible fake moustache)
and Raquel Welch in 100 Rifles

Opening with the prelude to an execution and ending with a battle involving Yaqui Indians, WWI-era German officers and Jim Brown (former Cleveland Brown and all-around Renaissance Man), the film 100 Rifles involves stolen money, illicitly purchased firearms and a counter-culture sensibility that bleeds through.

Brown stars as Lyedecker, a sheriff from Arizona sent to track down Yaqui Joe (Reynolds), who has stolen $6000 from a bank in Phoenix in order to procure guns for the native Mexicans fighting against the "federales".  Welch portrays Sarita, a local who cares about the native cause and fights with everything she has.

Not a great film, but not a bad one either, you should....

Check it out!  (WP)(AMG)(IMDB)
