An absolute Masterpiece , I had the privilege of seeing The Wild Bunch When it first came out at my local Granada Cinema in 70 mm , Breathtaking a once in a lifetime Cinema Experience certainly one of the greatest westerns ever made , would love to see a full uncut version .
Remember all those years ago on a Sunday afternoon queuing outside The Granada in Bedford waiting to see The Wild Bunch in 70mm , that huge screen did Sams cinema masterpiece TOTAL JUSTICE , A HUGE SCREEN FOR A HUGE WESTERN , the Best Western ever made , I came out that day changed on how I saw westerns for evermore , I have watched this film over & over again & will never get tired of this amazing film , it sets the bench mark forever for the western , The Wild Bunch will never die
Ernest Borgnine proudly said it was the greatest western ever made. I saw it with a buddy when it came out and my main concern was getting in to the Swiss Cottage Odeon aged 15. Changed my life.
The best film ever made, & my all-time # 1 . At 75 y/o, & a lover of cinema all my life, I say it without equivocation : " Sam Peckinpah's , The Wild Bunch " is an out & out masterpiece. ------------------MJL
Hello dear sir, I totally agree with you, masterpiece of American cinema at all levels. We will no longer see cinema like that, disappointed by today's cinema. while waiting for the remake of mel Gibson. rest in peace Sam. you are incomparable. thank you for your work.
"Let's go." "Why not?" Four words have never meant so much. "WHY NOT?" I mean they're going to their deaths! Real men! Love it! And the montage ending of them all laughing is perfect.
Muchas gracias por compartir el documental, soy de Parras Coahuila, y trae muchos recuerdos estás imágenes, todo un orgullo que se conserve mi pueblo a traves de esta obra maestra del cine, también es una lastima que no haya muchos vestigios del rodaje y que algunos edificios luzcan tan deteriorados.
Saludos desde parras coahuila México, cómo imaginar que está película fue grabada aquí en mi tierra, me doy cuenta de como era parras antes,si no es por está película ni me ubieras imaginado como era parras
I really enjoyed the humour and closeness of the characters. This was the first time I saw a lot of well used slow motion. Also liked the times when there is no speaking. You knew what they were thinking. way to go Sam.
I saw it originally when I was in the Army '68, it changed how I saw myself as it showed me the actuality of honorable conduct, I never forgot the lesson!
My maternal grandfather, a big western fan, negotiated with my parents for the better part of a week for them to permit me to see The Wild Bunch (1969) with him. I was 13 years-old. To my 13 year-old psyche the movie was terrific. I learned a few new concepts having seen that movie with Grandfather. What a time that was.
I remember seeing this extraordinary film in 1969, and it was the first time I had experienced "death" arriving in slow motion in any western. It was a watershed in western film making at the time.
I have mixed feelings. The man himself is largely forgotten, due to his volatility, but not his influence on modern action cinema. Filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Martin Scorsese, John Woo, Ridley Scott, Terry Gilliam, Zack Snyder, Kathryn Bigelow, Taylor Sheridan and Michael Mann have been touched by the guy.
THE best movie ever made. I've seen this film at least 100 times, & it never--------ever------fails to move me like no other film before, or since. ----------Truthfully, only " Hell Or High Water" comes close to affecting me as did Sam Peckinpah's " The Wild Bunch". ------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o
In my teenage years i grew up in Hamden CT. There is a little park dedicated to Ernest borgnine. It is at the corner of Putnam Ave & Dixwell Ave. Hamden Connecticut
i love this film.there was a chain-gang scene that ended up on the cutting room floor? what a cool director. kids; watch the coke and liquor or you'll be gone before you're truly appreciated. like Sam.
" Let's Go ! " ----------" Why Not ? " ----------4 words that said it all. Never in film history, have 4 words ever meant so much. it was time to go & get Angel , no matter what. It was time to " man up " -------MJL, 75 y/o
My favorite western period. Complex and a great adventure. I didn't know Germany ' s involvement in Mexico. 100 Rifles touch on Germany involvement in Mexico. I think it was banned from television at one time.
I became a special effects man 35 years ago to do sequences like this.This was at a time when this wasn't seen every day and in every video game and tv show. It was special then, but now not so much.
I understood this film immediately----------& I identified with it, completely. " When you side with a man, you stay with him ! If you can't do that, you're like an animal -----you're finished ! We're finished ! All of us ! " -------------------The Theme of this film, & I understood it the very 1st time. -----------------------------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o
Great film just rewatched it today a masterpiece of a western. So influential in screen violence. Tarantino is probably most influenced by this film and Peckinpah
What was that shot of convicts, was that part of Thornton's time in Yuma, an out-take? It would be so good to see all the out-takes. I believe there was a shot of villagers being hung, that was why Dutch said "We don't hang no one". This film was so real to me, it was like the story actually happened.
There apparently was a shot of convicts cracking a rock wall with sledgehammers. There really needed to be a shot of villagers being hung to illustrate Dutch's outrage at Mapache. I'm afraid Ernie Borgnine's passionate protest wasn't enough.
This _really_ should be titled *_An Excerpt from:_*_ A Simple Adventure Story: Sam Peckinpah, Mexico and The Wild Bunch_ just like the source it was originally culled from; Since Nick Redman's documentary-short _'A Simple Adventure Story...'_ is actually *40 minutes* (total running time) -- This is the 24mn special feature from _TWB_ home video platform. Where it's clearly labeled: _"An Excerpt from A Simple Adventure Story: Sam Peckinpah, Mexico and The Wild Bunch (__23:47__): documentarian Nick Redman compiles behind the scenes shots and raw footage to give us a different look at how the movie was made. There is also a visit to the Mexican locations Redman took in 2004."_ so there
5:28 ... *correction* ... Angel: *"Mexico Lindo"* Lyle: *"I don't see nothin' so 'lindo' about it."* Tector: *"Just looks like more Texas far as I'm concerned"* Angel: *"you have no eyes!"*
Q.L. Jones just died today, 7/8/22, he was one of the actors in the movie. The ending was pretty silly, in real life those four guys would have been shot dead in a few minutes.
The Wild Bunch is, without a doubt, the most magnificent western ever made. The cast was awesome!
An absolute Masterpiece , I had the privilege of seeing The Wild Bunch When it first came out at my local Granada Cinema in 70 mm , Breathtaking a once in a lifetime Cinema Experience certainly one of the greatest westerns ever made , would love to see a full uncut version .
Thanks for bringing it all back home...........for the rest of us.

Fricking Wonderful! - This makes me so happy to find... My favorite western... Period...
Wouldn't it be great to sit through all the rushes, and the various cuts... changed my life too.
"Let's go."
"Why not?"
Four words have never meant so much.
"WHY NOT?" I mean they're going to their deaths! Real men! Love it!
And the montage ending of them all laughing is perfect.
That was an era when men were men..... and cows were scared shitless!
The loyalty these guys have is strong

I thought the film premiered in 1969.
@@Madbandit77 it did
@@boshwaggleboskolsson7905 I know that. I was just noting that the original poster was mistaken.😊
at 5:38 the line is "that's Mexico? it just looks like more of Texas to me!" by the late great Ben Johnson
Ah Mehico Lindo
you have no eyes.
"Ah, you have no eyes!"
The wild bunch the man who would be king only movies i ever thought were worth staying awake to watch

Loved the Mexican music in this film wish u could buy it

!!!!Que genio ,q fue Sam Pequimpa ,q supo marcar el fin de una época ,del Western y el comienzo de otra época como la de Dellinger en EEUU !!!!!

Along with the scene where Pike and Dutch argue, "What would you do in his place? He gave his word. " Gave his word to a railroad." "IT'S HIS WORD"
Great film just rewatched it today a masterpiece of a western. So influential in screen violence. Tarantino is probably most influenced by this film and Peckinpah
seen this film at least 20 times in my life
My all-times all genres favorite...
Great picture
My all time favorite movie
What was that shot of convicts, was that part of Thornton's time in Yuma, an out-take? It would be so good to see all the out-takes. I believe there was a shot of villagers being hung, that was why Dutch said "We don't hang no one".
This film was so real to me, it was like the story actually happened.
There apparently was a shot of convicts cracking a rock wall
with sledgehammers.
There really needed to be a shot of villagers being hung to illustrate Dutch's outrage at Mapache.
I'm afraid Ernie Borgnine's passionate protest wasn't enough.
Don Jose, the old man who's the informal mayor of the village, mentioned to Pike that Mapache and his men hung some of the villagers who defied them.
Helluva director and Helluva actors and actresses 😮
Excellent. Thanks.
Wow you found it amazing place legendary film the final shootout
the four horseman of the apocalypse bringing death and asking for an angel genius
Such a damn.good film...
no cgi fantastic movie
You don't need CGI when you have genius.
whats amazing is its a real place not created for the movie. and its still there wonderful.
This _really_ should be titled *_An Excerpt from:_*_ A Simple Adventure Story: Sam Peckinpah, Mexico and The Wild Bunch_ just like the source it was originally culled from;
Since Nick Redman's documentary-short _'A Simple Adventure Story...'_ is actually *40 minutes* (total running time) -- This is the 24mn special feature from _TWB_ home video platform. Where it's clearly labeled:
_"An Excerpt from A Simple Adventure Story: Sam Peckinpah, Mexico and The Wild Bunch (__23:47__): documentarian Nick Redman compiles behind the scenes shots and raw footage to give us a different look at how the movie was made. There is also a visit to the Mexican locations Redman took in 2004."_
so there
5:28 ... *correction* ...
Angel:
*"Mexico Lindo"*
Lyle:
*"I don't see nothin' so 'lindo' about it."*
Tector:
*"Just looks like more Texas far as I'm concerned"*
Angel:
*"you have no eyes!"*
Where can we see the full version
One of my fave moments : Ah !...Los gringos otra vez .....Wha ' you wan '...? !
PECKINPAH was a flawed genius. My favourite was Straw Dogs. Even though it was overshadowed by his other better known films
Does someone know where the opening shots with the Bunch and the children were filmed? In Parras as well?
This place still there ❓not change,if let be the tournament,make some money 💵 那個地方還有在嗎？何不拿來當旅遊景點👍
"Let's go"
"Why not?"
Q.L. Jones just died today, 7/8/22, he was one of the actors in the movie. The ending was pretty silly, in real life those four guys would have been shot dead in a few minutes.
The Vietnam war inspired this film
More british narration.
drugstore cowboys.
modern Hollywood is full of them.
