Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaChuck Roberson (John Wayne's longtime stuntman) was meant to double for Jim Brown on some of the riskier stunts, with director Tom Gries planning to put black-face on him. Burt Reynolds would not perform with him, deeming it improper, and stated "Those days are gone, you better get a black stuntman here right now." When the production manager stated it was not in the budget, and "Fox would never go for it," Reynolds paid $500 out of his own pocket to pay for a black stuntman.
- GoofsThe machine gun on the porch would have had to shoot through the supports of the porch railing to hit the people on the ground below, but no damage is seen to the railing or supports.

Featured review
The movie takes place during a bloody time period of Mexico history
At that time, anyone coming to Mexico ought to be speaking Spanish
But Lyedecker (Jim Brown) didn't speak the language
He was a black policeman looking for a valuable man, a bank robber named Joe Herrera (Burt Reynolds), who looks Mexican but doesn't talk Mexican
Herrera is a half-breed, whose mother was a Yaqui Indian and his father was from Alabama
General Verdugo (Fernando Lamas) is sure that the money was not spent on women or on Whisky For him, Joe stole the $6,000 from the Citizen's Bank in Phoenix, Arizona to buy 100 rifles for his people, the Yaqui Indians
Verdugoa murderer and an assassin who runs the State of Sonorahave orders to get rid of the Yaquis any way he could, and he took the easy way by killing everybody He even kidnapped Yaqui children to regain the rifles And now he wants Lyedecker's head on a stick in the middle of the plaza for everyone to see
Lyedecker doesn't care about nothing and nobody He took a job that nobody else wanted His intentions are to take Joe back for the $200 reward and a permanent job The policeman rejected any deal in spite of all the atrocities he witnessed like executing Indians or hanging them up like a side of beef
Steven Grimes (Dan O'Herlihy)who runs the railroad doesn't want his train to be a small sacrifice to the mean general The German military adviser Lt. Von Klemme (Eric Braeden) thinks that the Indians must be finished off as quickly as possible before more guns come through Raquel Welch's most audacious moment comes out when the Indians attack a well-guarded train carrying troops and supplies, and she was openly showering in the flat part, under a water tower
With a very nice score by Jerry Goldsmith, "100 Rifles" is a slam-bang action epic, with loads of explosions and gory fighting, making little sense but a lot of amusing noise
