No one is innocent in this gritty tale of of desperation against changing times. Pump shotguns, machine guns and automobiles mix with horses and winchesters in this ultraviolent western. Amazon.com essential video: One of the best action movies ever made, in a cleaned-up print restoring crucial parts of the story. No cavalry ever rode in with more epochal impact than the Wild Bunch in the legendary opening scene. Their steel-eyed leader, Pike (William Holden), and his robbers in stolen army uniforms help an old lady across the street, and then spark a massacre led by Pike's old crony Thornton (Robert Ryan), sprung from jail to hunt down his old gang. In just a few minutes, Sam Peckinpah sets the scene--a dusty Texas town in 1913--sketches a dozen vividly individualized characters, and choreographs one of the most realistic, influential, brilliantly photographed shootouts under the pitiless sun. The cast is superb (even Ernest Borgnine!), the dialog crackling, the bitterly ambiguous moral of the story hard-earned. It's the deeper, dark flip side to 1969's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Consider buying the letterbox Wild Bunch, the review collection Doing It Right, and the Peckinpah bio 'If They Move... Kill 'Em!' --Tim Appelo Amazon.com: One of the best action movies ever made, in a cleaned-up print restoring crucial parts of the story.

Vengeance is the driving force of the story. Good sub plots. Will be or is a western classic. I bought the box set of Sam Peckinpah's western. Was worth the price for 4 movies and free delivery. Rating: - "If They Move, Kill 'Em!" This line, spoken by William Holden's character Pike Bishop, is about the important thing you need to know about "The Wild Bunch"; just as "Bonnie and Clyde" was summed up by the line 'We rob banks', "The Graduate" with 'Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. Aren't you?', and "Cool Hand Luke" with 'What we have here is a failure to communicate' (strangely enough, Holden's line is then followed by the subtitle 'Director by Sam Peckinpah' as if the director saw this as an opportunity for some ... Read More Rating: - Wild Bunch Saw this movie back in the 70's and have loved it ever since. Peckinpah excels here as do the actors and their performances. Holdens character is the most memorable Rating: - Overrated Director Sam Peckinpah's two hour and twenty-five minute long 1969 Western classic, The Wild Bunch, is certainly an influential and important film, but, compared to the other great Western released that year, Sergio Leone's Once Upon A Time In The West, it has not held up nearly as well. There are several reasons for this fact, and by making that statement I am not stating that Peckinpah's film is in any way a bad film. No. It's merely a good film that has been passed by later films, and lacks the ... Read More Rating: - Look At What "Bonnie and Clyde" Did! This Original Director's Cut version of "The Wild Bunch" is a real treat as they did an excellent job with the restoration and especially with the sound quality as the Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround sound is excellent although despite heroic attempts at picture quality restoration, there are many white spots and other imperfections in a number of frames. Hopefully the Blu-ray version took the opportunity to clean these up. This is a good adventure flick although I do call its originality ...
