I like Warren Oates and his scream while shooting. Animal, primal stuff, adrenalin rush. Ben Johnson has grin on his face while on machine gun. Violence can be fun although Sam wanted to show that it isn't funny. It's rooted deep inside us and should be OK with us. We cannot negate our nature.
@FilmRomMusDrawingWar Spot on. Best film ever. In addition goes for all us hetero males (protect a friend, even for today) and possibly die screaming :D
Did you know "El Indio" Fernadez, Mapache in this movie... the mexican general, was the model for the Oscar trophy. In his younger days he was in great shape!
I have seen "The Wld Bunch" many times, but it has only just struck me that, at that rate of firing, they probably would have had to replace the cartridge belt on the machine gun at least once if not more. Any experts on antique weapons around? The date of the action must be around 1910. Also if used for a long time, they sometimes had to have water poured over them to cool them down.
@Hendrikdevuile Correct. A belt was 250 rounds. Also the rate of fire was way too high. The barrel is water cooled w/this model, but...it would be steaming! Movie stuff ;)
I hope that little Mexican bastard who killed Pike died a painful death a short time later. I would have taken a shotgun and blown the smirk off of his face.
If you tried to pitch this movie in hollywood today, they would change it to a PG-13 movie staring Will Smith, and directed by Michael Bay. And it would be rewritten 8 different times to bring down the budget and increase "mainstream appeal".
Does anyone know the name of the song used in the now deleted 1st half of this scene when they are walking from the brothel? It's a Spanish or Mexican song about a young woman & her brother.
Youtube is really getting lame with all the censorship. Lots of informative comments get lost when they delete uploads.
Love this movie but this clip is lame. This is only the second half of the final shoot out, champ. Cutting the first half of the scene ruins the clip and the whole point of the movie. Earlier in this scene they take over the whole place. Folks are running scared. They put up their hands! Then Erine Borgnine laughs like a mad man.
@MikeMikey2012 Have you even seen the whole movie. Its definitely one of the best westerns ever made. Movies made these days are nonsence. Movies made these days shouldn't even be considered movies. Their are countless things wrong with fake modern day movies filled with CGI, horrible actors and acting and fake CGI action scenes.
This is one of the greatest films ever made. I remember the original poster "Unchanged men in a changing land. Out of step, out of place and desperately out of time. " To all my fellow dinosaurs may we all go out so well.
Isn't it awesome that Hollywood remade Straw Dogs and now plans to remake this? While they're at it, why don't they remake A Hard Day's Night, 2001, Gone With The Wind, Casablanca, The Sound of Music, The Godfather, The Ten Commandments, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind? That'd be even better! (Yes, I'm being EXTREMELY sarcastic....................)
@alekesam Well, NO cast would come close to rivaling this one. And don't quote me on this, but I've heard Tony Scott is directing it. (That may just be a rumor, though).
@lurch321@lurch321 They did do another Ten Commandments, about 5 years ago. Typical modern cinema, which is to say, don't bother. Ben Hur was another to fall victim. It was a sham. And now you say they're actually doing TWB again? If so, then yet more blasphemy.
Memo to Hollywood: If you inisist on remakes, then shoot remakes of bad movies, not good ones. And especially not great ones.
@Sniperhound4 I hope it is..............I got the info from a fellow youtuber's posting, so I have no idea how reliable a source it is. Supposedly, (if they do a remake), Tony Scott will be directing it, according to this poster. Hope it's a good sign that I read this quite a while back and haven't heard anything since.
@lurch321 I love people like you. Everything can always be done better, yet you bitch and moan is if it would somehow dampen your image of the original. Are you really that stupid?
@Fearless5001 lol whatever. I respect that ur not one of those people that think ur opinion is the fact and is the only thing that's valid, everyone opinion is different. except this time. my opinion is right :P jk.
@iknowwhereyoulive006 non j'ai vu beaucoup de vieux films et des films bien sombres ou avec des mecs qu'avaient pas grand-chose à perdre. D'habitude quand je vois un film je l'aime ou le déteste tout du long de la même façon. Je ne passe de l'amour à la détestation à cause d'un détail que quand je lis un bouquin. Mais dans les films jamais. Je suis emporté par leur cohérence. Là j'ai trollé des extraits pour la 1ere fois :-S. Donc je comprends ce que tu veux dire sur ce film.
@iknowwhereyoulive006 bah non c'était bien vu car j'aime bien Stallone c'est vrai. Et Freddiew je lui ai dit aussi que le début de son duel en hommage à Cowboys vs. Aliens était pas crédible X-). Normalement je ne trolle que les vidéos de ceux qui par le fait d'aimer quelque-chose dénigrent autre chose, ce qui n'est pas le cas du tout pour The Wild Bunch. je devrais m'en tenir à ça. Sans rancune
@iknowwhereyoulive006 I just realized it too. There's useful trolling and there isn't. I must let you enjoy the movies you like, theres' no bad thing in this. I came back here to erase my comments
Strange isn't it that the machine gun featured is the Browning water cooled M1917, a weapon that went into service a few years after this movie's plot was based around, namelly the Mexican revolution of 1910. I don't suppose that the film's prop department could find any other weapon of the period that fired full auto strength blanks (true!)
@gillyh2745 They need a Browning 1895 Colt "Potato Digger" to be 100% accurate. The US was using them at that time. It wouldn't have been easy for the prop armorer to rent a running Digger with correct tripod for anywhere close to the $ a plain 1917 went for back then. Not too many Diggers were made & very few are around now. Very hard to find spare parts, even correct Digger belts are scarce. Would you want to thrash your running Digger to make a movie? That scene had to be reshot many times.
@ClarenceBoddicker87 Yes, you are absolutely correct, the "potato digger" by Colt would have been more appropriate, but it didn't really have the visual appeal of the M1917 did it!. Anyway, there are many examples in Hollywood, and for that matter, Spaghetti westerns, where a historically inaccurate gun was used. Do you remember the film "Fistful of dynamite", where James Coburn uses a nazi MG42 without the shoulder stock? (remember the film is also set in the Mexican revolution!).
@gillyh2745 Maybe Hollywood will remember this movie & do the now standard lame remake, with the normal bad acting. Use a plastic Digger model & CGI it into life. Use lame giant muzzle flashes & blood sprays. Up the body count by a few hundred more & show scenes of the evil Gringos killing Mexican babies & children. Just think of all the PC crap they could inject to ruin one of Peckinpah's masterpieces. Product placement would be a challenge.
The anachronisms are there, true enough. I'm just a bit disappointed. But, for me, this is still one of the top films. I bet there are no anachronisms in Unforgiven, and yet despite the all the awards and praise..........
@RocknRollman1995 - Good guess, considering their ordnance! This was in 1913 - 1911 45 cal. autos (not yet legal for civilian ownership); 1897 Winchester 12-guage shotguns; etc. What a great final scene! Check out the "Police car" scene in Peckinpah's "The Getaway." Take care! :)
Movie is great, including some unforgetable scenes. But there is one question I do not fully understand - why did Pike kill that German? Because he was the only serious threat for them if they got away after killing Mapache? Any ideas or is it so simple that is shame to ask about it?
@itsconnorstime I guess you're right or pretty close (at least about Pike). I do not agree with quite common here opinion that they want to die. I think so among others because when they killed Mapache and situation seemed under control they were surprised and obviously happy. Perhaps they thought they still had a chance. And than - BANG - everything collapsed (very spectacularly though)...
@koruptos i think he just thought he was a smarmy bastard. and there was no way in hell any of them were going to walk away after killing Mapache. they knew they were going to die. so no, there was no shame in asking. have a good one!
Sam Peckinpah was absolute genius. The film is classic. The final shootout is beautiful. it moves me to tears whenever I watch it. You couldn't depict honor and friendship any better.
This is without a doubt one of the finest, well made, crafted, powerful acted film in the history of not just the western genre but of any films ever made in the history of cinema!!!!
It has william holden's best performance i've seen since "Sunset Blvd", it also has an icon like the scene-stealing Robert Ryan as Deke Thorton and Edmond O' Brien as Freddie Sykes!!!!
Truly one of the best of the best of the best, one of my f..king Favourites ever, i salute you sam peckinpah!!!!
The reason they started even massacring the Mexicans was because the General of that army they were killing slit the throat of one of their comrades, Angel......a Mexican,who they came back to rescue and who they eventually died for.
Idi Amin Dada renown gastronome of human livers, played this film for his troops. Unfortunately Israeli defense forces spoiled the picnic at Entebbe as non-Kosher. Still inspirational though, thank you Mr. Peckinpah.
Idi Amin didn't know the difference between Hollywood movies and real life. His troops had been "battle hardened" by shooting at unarmed peasants who never made any resistance. When he tried to invade Tanzania, his troops got easily defeated by the Tanzanian army.
Hm, I've heard that Idi Amin being a cannibal was mostly due to him being further demonized as a cruel, African, tyrant who ate his enemies (like supposedly people in Africa do) in sensationalist books.
This movie was a big disappointment for me. Three quarters of pure boredom with unlikeable characters, and then one great action scene where I wanted the "heroes" to fucking die. I'll stick with the Magnificent Seven.
great western of men who have out lived there time.the film is set around 1912 2 years before the first world war watch the film then you will no were they got the wea ponry from. look out for other sam peckinpah films he had a eye for the human condition,straw dogs,killer elite,pat garrett and billy the kid,cros of iron.
@strazzy3 it's just at the end of the western period right before world war 1 and that was a new weapon just made but they had the gatling gun before, there were no hand held automatic weapons though
I've never liked westerns. This is the only western movie I'd watch. It's a great ending! Any movie ending with a bunch of mexicans getting machine gunned by the hundreds is a five star film on my book!
This all could have all been prevented if Pike would have said ,"Please may we Angel back" The General was just a little offended he didn't becaus he didn't say please or por favor. But then again, we would not have had the greatest and most violent last stands in the history of Hollywood..
you can't just watch the ending..they came back to get their friend..he was being dragged around and beat up..they were all bad guys but they did have some kind of code of honor they were not going to leave without their friend..
A lot of us have potential to harm another and have fun of it. You don't have to be psycho, because it's in you. Sam had it and bunch is overwhelmed with adrenaline, they smile! Psycho is in this for the kicks, bunch for the higher purpose, and we are in between, enjoying art but feeling some strange animal rush. In real life Sam was problematic and romantic. There is no mentioning of his nostalgia and romanticism in his movies. ''Stick together''... Passion is the reservoire for all.
It begins and ends with shootouts that give no quarter. In between is a real story with real characters. And that story makes you care about these guys,'cause though the Bunch are bad guys, General Mapache,Coffer,T.C.,Harrigan--are worse guys. The Bunch at least have a sense of loyalty and morality compared to the worse guys. They knew it was futile to try to get Angel back,but he was their comrade,and if they were going down,it was gonna be on their own terms. And that's what they did. Royally.
this must've been revolutionary in '69. cuz I'm 20 and this is the SHIT

@koruptos i think he just thought he was a smarmy bastard. and there was no way in hell any of them were going to walk away after killing Mapache. they knew they were going to die. so no, there was no shame in asking. have a good one!

Sam Peckinpah was absolute genius. The film is classic. The final shootout is beautiful. it moves me to tears whenever I watch it. You couldn't depict honor and friendship any better.

This is without a doubt one of the finest, well made, crafted, powerful acted film in the history of not just the western genre but of any films ever made in the history of cinema!!!!
It has william holden's best performance i've seen since "Sunset Blvd", it also has an icon like the scene-stealing Robert Ryan as Deke Thorton and Edmond O' Brien as Freddie Sykes!!!!
Truly one of the best of the best of the best, one of my f..king Favourites ever, i salute you sam peckinpah!!!!

The reason they started even massacring the Mexicans was because the General of that army they were killing slit the throat of one of their comrades, Angel......a Mexican,who they came back to rescue and who they eventually died for.

Ride The High Country , The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and The Wild Bunch - the 3 greatest western movies of the 60's - in my opinion

Peckinpah was the greatest western director ever. We need more movies like this.
I am also a big fan of his movies; Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid and Ride The High Country.

Idi Amin Dada renown gastronome of human livers, played this film for his troops. Unfortunately Israeli defense forces spoiled the picnic at Entebbe as non-Kosher. Still inspirational though, thank you Mr. Peckinpah.

@zeuqzavaj
Idi Amin didn't know the difference between Hollywood movies and real life. His troops had been "battle hardened" by shooting at unarmed peasants who never made any resistance. When he tried to invade Tanzania, his troops got easily defeated by the Tanzanian army.
Hm, I've heard that Idi Amin being a cannibal was mostly due to him being further demonized as a cruel, African, tyrant who ate his enemies (like supposedly people in Africa do) in sensationalist books.

This movie was a big disappointment for me. Three quarters of pure boredom with unlikeable characters, and then one great action scene where I wanted the "heroes" to fucking die. I'll stick with the Magnificent Seven.

I've never liked westerns. This is the only western movie I'd watch. It's a great ending! Any movie ending with a bunch of mexicans getting machine gunned by the hundreds is a five star film on my book!

This all could have all been prevented if Pike would have said ,"Please may we Angel back" The General was just a little offended he didn't becaus he didn't say please or por favor. But then again, we would not have had the greatest and most violent last stands in the history of Hollywood..

A lot of us have potential to harm another and have fun of it. You don't have to be psycho, because it's in you. Sam had it and bunch is overwhelmed with adrenaline, they smile! Psycho is in this for the kicks, bunch for the higher purpose, and we are in between, enjoying art but feeling some strange animal rush. In real life Sam was problematic and romantic. There is no mentioning of his nostalgia and romanticism in his movies. ''Stick together''... Passion is the reservoire for all.

It begins and ends with shootouts that give no quarter. In between is a real story with real characters. And that story makes you care about these guys,'cause though the Bunch are bad guys, General Mapache,Coffer,T.C.,Harrigan--are worse guys. The Bunch at least have a sense of loyalty and morality compared to the worse guys. They knew it was futile to try to get Angel back,but he was their comrade,and if they were going down,it was gonna be on their own terms. And that's what they did. Royally.
