I liked the film but, I can't see having a stupid bar fight added that just took too long and didn't seem to add to anything to the rest of the film. Every scene just seemed to have one takes.

What happened to "Arizona Morning" when the opening credits roll? When they change music like that its like a completely different movie! This song sucks compared to the original song. Leave things alone!

Love that pedal steel guitar...

This is one of my favorite Peckinpah films and it has some of Steve McQueen's best acting, IMO. I never get tired of watching the opening credit sequence of "Junior Bonner." Thanks for uploading it! I wish I could find the song that plays during the opening credits. ("Bound To Be Back Again" by Alex Taylor) It's pretty hard to find and has never been issued on CD at all, as far as I know.

amazing that Sam outlived Steve!

[blue32ism]

i always felt the opening credits to this movie were really unique and beautifully done.

SAM PECKINPAH IS AMERICA LIKE I THINK IT.INTELLIGENCE,REBELLION TO THE CAPITALISTIC SYSTEM,GREAT HEART.

[ittidnev]

Peckinpah/Mc Queen....two legends!

[Schpash1]

jim hill is the rodeo clown during opening scenes. i got to meet him tonight. what a great guy. he got 3 ribs broken when the bull kicked him during opening credits.

Didja know Altman and Sam were born but 1 day apart??

also my birthday.

I wish Sam had used Gene Clark's RODEO RIDER in this movie---he used a dillard & clark song in GETAWAY

My favourite McQueen film, thank you for sharing, Posting on Facebook. Hugs, Amigo:-)

[lipiarskisteve]

like the intro the sound of the cow bell etc ... This an incredible suspens because during all the movie you have this scene in mind with the hand of steeve prisonner of the rope and at the end when he win he will have to get down of the bull ! this is not finish !!!!!!

[scottmanduzy]

Terrific subtle nuanced performance by McQueen. A sleeper among all of Sam's violent films. McQueen at his most vulnerable soft-spoken roles as a rodeo cowboy kicking around the Southwest. Filmed in northern Az.

couldn't sleep last night. caught this movie at 4 am. good stuff!!

[mrvladtepes]

love this film

[TheYummerz]

Probably one of the most underrated films in the past 35 years or so.

Mc Queen puts in a great performance...in my opinion one of the signs of a truly great actor is when even with a big notable name you still forget his big name and actually believe this guy is the character he is playing. This film is something you rarely even see in a Hollywood production, especially today, subtlety and a decent storyline .

5 stars. You don't have to like bull riding to enjoy it either.

[jmay2002]

This could be the most under rated film of Steve McQueen career.

[5wmh37]

A beautiful performance by Steve Mcqueen showing a softer more caring side.

One of his best performances in my opinion.

Gotta love Steve.

I love this movie to by Sam Peckinpah and fell in love with Barbara Leigh who played the Love interest in this  movie.

Years later after seeing this movie I had the honour to met and work with Robert Preston and for the past year or so have been good friends with Barbara Leigh who is such a lovely women in Heart and Soul !

Love you Barbara !

I am always telling people who know The Wild Bunch or Bring the Head of Alfredo Garcia, do you know Junior Bonner?

Peckinpah is famous for his marvelous treatment of violence, but here he returns to his favorite themes (the spiritual beauty of an anarchic life, the encroachment of "modern civilization" -- really barbarism, the stoical code, natural life versus the vulgar new consumerist crappiness, etc.) and look what get -- another gem!

[michaelsacoma]

I agree. It's such an overlooked film. Thanks for your comment.

[cremeofthereich]

@mwoldin He still managed to throw in an utterly ridiculous bar room fight, just couldn't stop himself.

[rhonakay]

Steve McQueen and Jeb Rosebrook. Two "authentic" American studs! Thanks, Jeb for creating this masterpiece.
