    100 Rifles is listed as a PG movie in the western genre. It is really a film about the conflict between the Mexican Army and the Yaqui Indians around 1905. With brief nudity, executions, hangings and the slaughter of entire villages I personally believe the movie should continue to have it's original R rating. This was a well done action movie from the late 1960's. Fernando Lamas was excellent as the sleazy Mexican General. Jim Brown and Bert Reynolds did the best they could with a poor script and there are some super close ups of the beautiful Raquel Welch. That woman sure knows how to stop a train. This was a very contraversal movie in it's day. It is not a good as The Wild Bunch or The Professionals but it is a similar type picture and is worth a rental.

    Pretty basic Western. Not bad, but not that great. Not a very PC flick by any means.
