CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Madness reigns in the Coliseum as Pike Bishop (William Holden) and his bunch massacre General Mapache's troops, and die with their guns blazing.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
"If they move, kill 'em!" Beginning and ending with two of the bloodiest battles in screen history, Sam Peckinpah's classic revisionist Western ruthlessly takes apart the myths of the West. Released in the late '60s discord over Vietnam, in the wake of the controversial Bonnie and Clyde (1967) and the brutal "spaghetti westerns" of Sergio Leone, The Wild Bunch polarized critics and audiences over its ferocious bloodshed. One side hailed it as a classic appropriately pitched to the violence and nihilism of the times, while the other reviled it as depraved. After a failed payroll robbery, the outlaw Bunch, led by aging Pike Bishop (William Holden) and including Dutch (Ernest Borgnine), Angel (Jaime Sanchez), and Lyle and Tector Gorch (Warren Oates and Ben Johnson), heads for Mexico pursued by the gang of Pike's friend-turned-nemesis Deke Thornton (Robert Ryan). Ultimately caught between the corruption of railroad fat cat Harrigan (Albert Dekker) and federale general Mapache (Emilio Fernandez), and without a frontier for escape, the Bunch opts for a final Pyrrhic victory, striding purposefully to confront Mapache and avenge their friend Angel.

Changed cinema forever. The first shootout was somewhat classic old-school western. This last battle introduced a whole new style of action movie making. Out with the old, in with the new. It's influence has yet to cease. An Undisputed Masterpiece.

[@battaglino77]

It's such a stark difference between a sanitized John Wayne depiction of the Old West, and the brutal reality of what those ex bandits and bounty hunters were actually up to.

[@Grandmastergav86]

@@battaglino77 The trouble I find with Westerns made these days is the politicisation of the content on a social level which I find distracting to the point where I can no longer enjoy the films. I'd rather witness uncomfortable history on screen, at the end of the day people can't learn from the past if it's obscured from view. Socially America (and much of the world) wasn't where we are now in terms of equality etc The second issue is that actors these days (in general) don't have the requisite life experience to convince the audience that they've been struggling in the Old West (you could level that accusation at Yul Brynner but he was such a great actor that it was never really an issue for me). Look at the faces of Eastwood, Bronson et al they've lived, the lines/creases etc tell their own story. The final major issue is pacing, filmmakers these days are far too self-indulgent and the pacing of films suffer as a result. Leone's films were long but they still packed "bite" and were engaging throughout. Look at the opening of Once Upon A Time In The West ,when viewed on paper, it would appear to be an entirely superfluous scene (excluding the shootout) and yet in film, it's glorious.

What is startling about this scene is that even at this extremely fast rate of cutting, everything matches. Which means Peckinpah kept every single scene and shot in his head as he was shooting it. And he then edited it together with electric force. IMO, this is the greatest violent sequence since the Odessa Steps. And although many directors have tried to duplicate this sequence, no one has. Because not only is there the kinetic force and beauty, but also the intricate characterization and the great irony.

When it was re-released in the early 1990s, the MPAA put an NC-17 on this movie. The studio appealed and it went out under an "R." The Wild Bunch was a 180 proof hard core masterpiece in 1969 and it has aged very, very well. The greatest of westerns and one of the top five best achievements of cinema.

[@8301TheJMan]

Despite th fact that pretty much everything you said about it is true, it is a brilliant film no doubt, but as a whole it's simply not the best western. Hell, "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", (made about the same "Hole In The Wall" gang), is at least as good or maybe even a little better. The best westerns imo are "Tombstone," "The Assignation of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford," the remake of "The Magnificent Seven," "3:10 To Yuma," and "Outlaw Josey Wales." Of course, most people would put "The Unforgiven in that list if not at the top, but as good as that movie definitely is, it's easily the most overrated western imo, it's just not close to being number one, and without doubt it's below "The Wild Bunch." The reason i don't have "The Wild Bunch" above any of the other ones is due to the fact that despite it being as good as it is, if you take out this phenomenal final battle scene, it's at best a little above average for westerns. As a whole it's a phenomenal film, and definitely groundbreaking for it's time, it's just not the best ever made imo.

He found that sweet spot of not sanitizing/romantizing the violence, but also also not going into cheap exploitation. He just does it direct and honest in what happens when tender bodies get caught in a storm of flying lead. Pain, rage, confusion and adrenaline.

[@JimmySteller]

Peckinpah wanted to break all the rules when it came to this big scene. He didn't want to glorify the violence at all, or the people who commit it. The 'heroes' are ruthless killers who use women for human shields, nobody is spared from agonizing bullet wounds, and even children partake in the gunfight, whether they're shooting or just being caught up in the maelstrom. Watching such brutal violence was meant to shock audiences back then, and frankly I think it would still shock audiences today.

Granted the state of mainstream commercialization in Hollywood has gotten worse and worse, with artistic ambition and achievement becoming rarer and rarer (relegated to the more obscure indie and international scenes), so the contrast between the state of Hollywood now and a top masterpiece of Hollywood from then is even more extreme. Given how far things have degraded, it's almost shocking to realize that there used to be supreme artistic masterpieces occasionally produced in mainstream American cinema that only the most daringly experimental underground films of recent years can even begin to remotely compare to.

This bloody shootout is one of the greatest scenes ever filmed in motion picture history. Film director Sam Peckinpah’s epic western, “The Wild Bunch”, is a tour de force.

[@eronifitiao6660]

Why didn’t they all just flee when more and more soldiers come running in?

[@johnhunt5181]

The wild bunch is possibly the greatest western ever made... It's a brilliant beautiful depiction of the old West coming to its end.... William Holden should have won an oscar

[@arashd5012]

No western can top this. The best ever made.

[@Rickwmc]

Pike is dispatched by a little ten year old Mexican boy who can barely hold up his rifle. Only Sam Peckinpah could have done a scene like that.

[@dojufitz]

+Spartaculus Jones The little boy is the future........the Wild Bunch's time is over..........

[@SpeedyDePalma]

+Spartaculus Jones The whole scene was affectionately known as the "martini shot" because Pecinpah would drink a martini after the scene was shot to commemorate it in his own way.

Masterpiece of a movie. The only other director that i can think of that was able to recreate this kind of shootouts/heroic bloodshed in the movies is John Woo, who was inspired himself by Sam Peckinpah. Beautifully directed 🙂

I've read they want to do a remake with Will Smith producing it are you f****** kidding?

This is a masterpiece you don't remake a masterpiece.

You've got to be kidding. That's like remaking "2001 A Space Odyssey" or "Vertigo" or "Citizen Kane". I googled it and apparently what you're talking about was a real thing... back in 2013. Luckily it never actually got made. How disgusting

All though the movie he kept muttering "I can't believe this". I don't believe he ever went to the movies again and stuck with old movies on TV. I thought it was awesome.
