100 Rifles (1969)

Made at the tail end of the western boom of the late 60s, 100 Rifles (1969) was one of the first American westerns to feature more graphic violence and nudity—sadly only of the female variety. Burt Reynolds and football player turned actor Jim Brown headline this tale as two men on the opposite sides of the law who must team up to stop a crooked Mexican general named Verdugo (Fernando Lamas, dad of Lorenzo). Brown's Arizona sheriff has tracked Reynolds' thief to Mexico, intending to arrest him for a bank robbery, though the sheriff soon learns that the thief used the money to provide the titular firepower to a tribe of Yaqui to defend themselves against Verdugo. When both men are apprehended by Verdugo's men and sentenced to death by firing squad, they realize that the only way out is to team up and help the Yaqui beat back the advances of Verdugo. They are joined in their quest by Sarita (Raquel Welch) a woman out for revenge against Verdugo for murdering her father. The two outlaws and the honest lawman must now fight together for what's right, though little does Reynolds character know that Brown still intends to bring him to justice when this bigger fight is over! American mainstream cinema in the 1960s wasn't all that interested in male nudity, though we do nearly get a look at Burt Reynolds' buns when he gets out of bed after sleeping with a woman! There's also a sexy scene where Jim Brown takes off his shirt to let Welch tend to his wounds!
