Rickety spaghetti western with cartoonish violence and all the standard clichés..., 17 August 2005
5/10
Author: moonspinner55 from redlands, ca

Jim Brown isn't bad as a sheriff who chases bank robber Burt Reynolds to Mexico, where both are captured by the vicious Mexican Army, but Raquel Welch is surprisingly underused as a guerrilla fighter. All the clichéd western-genre moments you can think of are on display here: the cliff-side brawl, the train-wreck, the dirt-town shoot-out, the wild drunken party, the surprise fire, and on and on. Welch is quite lovely but way over-the-top while warming up to manly-but-wooden Brown (when she tells him, "I am your woman", she's suddenly so serious you can almost believe it); she's also very sexy showering under a water-tower (as a ruse to get a train to stop), but 80% of the picture is given over to the men, and their squabbles are completely routine and dull. "100 Rifles" could use less rifles and more human interaction. ** from ****
