An excellent dramatization of the Mexican Revolution and the role of Pancho Villa and his place in Mexican history and folklore. It is interesting that Rodolfo Fierro was as tough and mean as he is so well portrayed by Charles Bronson in the movie. One of the best westerns ever - ranks right with The Magnificent 7, The Wild Bunch, etc.
Villa was a man of the people. In 1916, the U.S. Army sent a regiment into Mexico looking for Viila. It was led "then" Col Pershing and Lt. Patton, two highly decorated West Point grads. They brought rolling stock, and never did set eyes on Pancho. Villa outsmarted them at every turn...a man who never attended a day of schooling in his life. I feel we could use men like him here in America today.
i am a french man (excuse my poor english) my grandfather brought to see this film... i was 10 years old!! for me it was the encounter with the cinema!!
Like the 1969 Western movie, "The Wild Bunch" and 1989 movie, "Old Gringo" this movie depicts the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920). The 7mm Mauser (7x57) bolt action rifle played a prominent role and was utilized by both sides of this murderous conflict! Note my posted comments below. This in response to an online video: "Winchester 70 7x57 Mauser." The 7mm Mauser (7x57) was developed originally in 1892 as a military caliber, primarily for Spain, Mexico, Central America, and half of South American governments. Their Armies (soldiers) utilized it extensively. In addition to being chambered in Mauser bolt action rifles, the 7mm Mauser was even chambered in machine guns. In fact, in 1913 during the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) a version of the Japanese Arisaka bolt action rifle was produced for the Government of Mexico. This caliber also saw extensive use during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) by both Fascist and Republican factions. No doubt the 7mm Mauser even saw some, but limited use, during both World War 1 (1914-1918) and World War II (1939-1945). Not to mention the Spanish American War (1898), and South Africa's Boer War (1899-1902). So much for the military history on the 7mm Mauser. Sporting use: The 7mm Mauser (7x57),along with the .30-06 Springfield and .375 Holland and Holland Magnum historically, is a world caliber. Africa, India, Europe, North America, and elsewhere it's seen over a century of use hunting big game of the world. Even today (2015) the 7mm Mauser would be an ideal classic dual purpose "deer/elk" caliber for the average North American hunter who wishes to fill the family freezer with fresh venison and elk meat. A quality bolt action sporter such as this gorgeous Winchester Model 70 chambered in 7mm Mauser, topped with a good 4x scope, and carry sling would give an entire lifetime of service to it's owner. This is one caliber that deserves to be far more popular than it is. It's also highly useful to both sexes, including youth who desire a rifle with lethal killing power on big game, yet has noticeably less recoil than a .30-06 and .270. ---James A.

I bought a new French made 7mm Mauser. It was wrapped in original wax paper and box. Bought it at gun show. It was around 2000-2013...Not sure of year. A nice rifle!
Pancho Villa actually was the meanest man who ever wore a pair of boots, and Fiero actually did all those things. This was not sadism just the way things were in those days. in Chihuahua and Sonora they still pretty much are.

The world could use a few of these men now.
I rode with Villa. Well, Cris Villa, I rode with him in the back of a pickup truck.
Maurice Jarre.. french musician... father of Jean michel..
Really?
@@lopeem45 absolutely
Charles Bronson was the perfect choice for Ferio..
Yes, even today he would know how to handle bad politicians.
Películas the poncho Villa
