The Ambush over Ord Mantell took place during the Clone Wars above the Galactic Republic supply storage planet of Ord Mantell when Anakin Skywalker's fleet was ambushed attempting to resupply his fleet.[1]
This western contains no well known actors but is none the worse for that; when you have a star you know they will make it to the end but unknown actors can die at any time! The story follows four men who have just been released from Yuma jail. After five years inside the criminals are keen to meet up with their partner and get their hands on the money; they have a few of problems though; the money is hidden in the town of Tomahawk Gap which has since been abandoned deep inside Apache territory, their partner is dead and one of the four wasn't actually involved in the crime; he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time but still expects a cut as he served the time. The three criminals head off towards Tomahawk Gap but are ambushed by a group of Apache; they manage to beat them but one of them is then shot by a Navaho woman. By this time this happens the fourth man has caught up with them and all of them; including the woman head into town where they discover the money wasn't where they expected it to be... if they want to get rich they will have to find it before they are found by the Apaches or the US Cavalry.At only seventy three minutes the story doesn't have time to drag and there is plenty of action crammed in; when they aren't fighting the Apaches they are fighting each other. The action is well choreographed with plenty of dramatic falls as Indians fall from cliff-tops and rooftops when shot; the stunt men certainly earned their pay! The actors did a good job although Mexican actress María Elena Marqués, who played the Navaho girl didn't really look like a Native American. While it is essentially an action film a little bit of light relief is provided by the town's sole inhabitant who has stayed behind to look after the graveyard. If you are a fan of less well known westerns you could do a lot worse than this; I'd certainly recommend it.
Ambush torrent
Her scarred face was dimly lit in the small hut that was provided by the United Nations. She was anxious to tell her story. It came out of her in an impassioned torrent that could not be slowed. I sat there, stunned, wishing I could tell her something to ease her anguish; something to make her forget.
Umme and her father told me their family was running from their village, which the Myanmar military was in the process of setting on fire. The family was attempting to exit by the main egress from their village, a dirt road surrounded by dense vegetation. Once they were outside the village the soldiers suddenly appeared from behind trees and bushes and started firing rifles. The family was caught in an ambush, an ambush meant to kill unarmed men, women and children.
22 Abimelech ruled over Israel three years. 23 nAnd God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the leaders of Shechem, and the leaders of Shechem odealt treacherously with Abimelech, 24 pthat the violence done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid on Abimelech their brother, who killed them, and on the men of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to kill his brothers. 25 And the leaders of Shechem put men in ambush against him on the mountaintops, and they robbed all who passed by them along that way. And it was told to Abimelech.
42 On the following day, the people went out into the field, and Abimelech was told. 43 He took his people and divided them into three companies and set an ambush in the fields. And he looked and saw the people coming out of the city. So he rose against them and killed them. 44 Abimelech and the company that was with him wrushed forward and stood at the entrance of the gate of the city, while the two companies rushed upon all who were in the field and killed them. 45 And Abimelech fought against the city all that day. He captured the city and killed the people who were in it, and xhe razed the city and ysowed it with salt.
Dreams of making history with back-to-back Grand Slams were in tatters last night, as France responded to a torrent of misfortune and criticism by grinding Warren Gatland's stunned team into the Parisian dirt.
Moments later, Leigh Halfpenny dropped a steepling kick in his 22 and the French pack swarmed towards the left corner. But the attack fell apart when Benoit Baby's ill-judged short pass led Cedric Heymans into a Welsh ambush in front of the posts. 2ff7e9595c
