  1. One of the things I enjoyed about the Wild Bunch, was, as far as I could tell, it was a pretty accurate depiction of a small town, in West Texas, at the end of the American Frontier, at the close of the American West. There are several things that date, that portray exactly when the time, depicted in this movie, was. The gun that Pike carries is an M-1911A1, which was invented in 1911. The Germans Officers, during the First World War, Germany supported the Mexican Revolution. An example of Germany's support for Mexico during this time period, would be the Zimmermann telegram. Actually, just before the United States became involved in WWI, Pershing was leading American Troops, along the Mexican Border in what was known as the Punitive Raids. Pershing and his troops, they were pursuing Pancho Villa. And the machine gun, thats a Browning M1917 water cooled, heavy machine gun. But another thing that really dates this movie, is the meeting of the Temperance League, in opening scenes of this movie. During the First World War, the Temperence League was at it's zenith, resulting in the Volstead Act, or prohibition, soon there after. This small West Texas town, depicted in this movie, it was a town full of scoundrals, but none the less, I'd rather be in that small town now, then here in this world now!

  2. I was a kid when this movie came out and it was so bloody and controversial. I vaguely remember it. "If they move, kill 'em!" is one the hardest lines in cinematic history. William Holden was so tough.

  3. to watch this sequence without the context of the preceding movie is harmful in that the viewer does not have a Clue of what Peckinpah created in this wonderful Movie. Please, those who view this, get the movie and enjoy.

  4. My old man saw this a year after it was released in theaters, the violent ending shocked everyone they all came out the movie house sad but this became one of his favourites. Rip pa you had good taste
