The Wild Bunch -- Mapache fires his .30 cal

[@SeanDahle]

Broke all 4 basic rules of gun safety without even trying lol

[@Bayan1905]

Emilio Fernandez, who played General Mapache was the real deal. In 1923 he quit his studies and joined Huerista rebellion in 1923. He fought in the very rebellions they were portraying on screen.

[@petermortimer6303]

At the risk of being labelled a nit picker that's not exactly correct. There were a lot of revolutions in Mexico and the one that features in the Wild Bunch was in 1911-1913 and involved José Victoriano Huerta Márquez. The revolution which Emilio Fernandez joined was in 1923 and was led by Felipe Adolfo de la Huerta Marcor, no relation to Victoriano. But you're right that he was the real deal and would have been able to advise Peckinpah about the realities of a Mexican revolution. I believe his father was a Mexican revolutionary general but I haven't been able to find out more about that if it's true.

What an absolutely amazing performance by Emilio Fernandez as the drunken General Mapache. A brilliant screenwriter, actor and director from Mexico's golden age of movies, he's the most famous person in the history of Mexican cinema, a cultural icon know for his strong machismo. He should have won an Oscar for best supporting role. The Wild Bunch had everything. What a movie.

He was beloved by the Mexican movie goers that's for certain.

[@covertops19Z]

I totally agree💯👍

[@miguelangelherrerasantilla8580]

El indio Fernández una pieza fundamental para el cine de la época de oro mexicano ! Fue un excelente director de cine!

[@garrison6863]

This is the best Western ever made. And the fact that Fernandez plays Mapache shows how well cast the picture is, and how smart Peckinpah was. That gatling gun will be very important at the end of the film.

[@Kyle-sr6jm]

Not a gatling gun. Jeez, we live in the information age, and people spew nothing but ignorance

[@towerjunikeka-tet1979]

​@@Kyle-sr6jm I don't know why people keep confused with this, Gatling gun is way older and basically doesn't even look like Max gun,but I'm sure poor guy didn't want to be ignorant,the thing is,our fascination with weaponary is little bit scary,in my case wild west stuff and first War

I love how the music starts up again after the first round of shooting, like nothing happened

[@KowalskyLeon]

General Mapache is one of the best roles and characters in this movie. Great actor.

[@jameslee1376]

The general is like a kid in a candy store.

Mapache was probably Danny Trejo's "Machete" grandfather!!! Awesome movie!!!

Sam Peckinpah told Emilio Fernandez (Mapache) that in order to interpret his character, he “needs to be a son of a bitch, but a beautiful son of a bitch, you are Gary Cooper” Those were the instructions given by Sam Peckinpah to Emilio Fernandez!

Tanta bala voando nesta cena e não morre ninguém? Ninguém sequer fica arranhado. Ficou parecendo comédia. O que tem de espetacular nisso?
