Knife
Cuchillo (1978)
This Mexican film was riding the last wave of Westerns, which by the end of the decade, had become a shell of their former self.
This film deals with a lone Apache (played capably by Andrés García, the muscular Latin lead of his generation) and his encounters with the intrusive world of the white man.
Great battle scenes make us root for 'Cuchillo", which means 'knife' in Spanish, as he fights off marauding cavalry troops. One by one he traps them and annihilates them.
Not a bad little film if you want to see the Mexican-era of Westerns.
If you liked movies like Apache (1954) with Burt Lancaster, Chato's Land (1972) with Charles Bronson, Navajo Joe (1966) with Burt Reynolds, and Cry Blood, Apache (1970), then you will probably enjoy this as well.
