ONE OF THE BEST WESTERN MOVIES
In India we have a fascination for good western movies simply because we adore the likes of 'Sholay' and other such 'Chambal Dacoit Movies' of the 1970s. Hollywood was lucky in getting a Superstar of the calibre of John Wayne who atually laid the foundation for some magnificient western movies with hs larger than life persona.Wild Bunch remains an evergreen classic that that takes us back 50 years, when Clint Eastwood was slowly emerging as the king of Spagetti westerns and Sam Peckinpah was devising new tactics to counter the likes of Sergio Leone.

One of the great Western movie
Great movie, great cast well acted but very violent specially at the end, bridge blowing up scene is one the enthralling scene ever, cinematography is great, Great movie to watch if you love action.

A classic,40 years on,still looks great.
This film was made 40 years ago and has stood up to changing tastes and styles well. From the opening scene of a group of children taunting a scorpion, you know that you are in for an unusual and original cinematic experience. The much talked about violence is extremely brutal,but the film offers so much more than gratuitous violence. The times depicted were violent times,and the director has not avoided showing that. The cast are outstanding. Ernest Borgnine,William Holden,Robert Ryan,Edmond O'Brien,Strother Martin,& Warren Oates are in top form here. The film is a tribute to a vanished age,and vividly shows the desperation with which these men try to hold on to their threatened way of life.The second disc is filled with interesting documentaries on Sam Peckinpah,and the making of The Wild Bunch. The word "classic" tends to get overused now,but this film absolutely deserves that title.

Yippee my son has become a Wild Bunch fan!
It was a gift for my son, who now lives in Berlin, as he had never seen the film and I am pleased to say we now have another member of The Wild Bunch fan club! Undoubtedly one of the best films ever made and the final walk by the four remaining members of the Bunch must go down as one of the greatest scenes in cinema history.

Brilliant
This is still one of the greatest westerns ever made. A simply stunning film in every respect. Really is a tale of violent men who had outlived their time

My first X film
This was my very first rated X film I ever saw , entering the cinema as a nervous kid in 1970. How the world has changed & our sensibilities since then . But I left that cinema having gone down "side by side" with the Wild Bunch in their last blase of comradeship , & the film joined my personal list of life-long loved films . When I first saw it way back it was damaged & scratched from the start & so to see this Dvd unfold across my 55 inch flawlessly is a personal joy .Intend to get the blue ray at some point whether there's any gain I don,t know . So..as Pike says....as I slip in the Dvd yet again...." lets go "

This is the masterpiece of Peckinpah with a wonderful William Holden and a very impressive Borgnine
This is the masterpiece of Peckinpah with a wonderful William Holden and a very impressive Borgnine. It is the last western movie, only Clint Eastwood with Pale Rider and Unforgiven will match this movie story.

Classic!
This is a seminal entry in the western ouevre. Nowadays relatively tame, but in the concept of the days in which it was made, you can see the influence of Peckinpah in many modern day films. People laud Leone, but Peckinpah had just as sure a grip on filmaking as Leone. One to be watched!

Great film if you can stand the carnage
Arrived early. Great film if you can stand the carnage.

They really are a Wild bunch
Great film in the tradition of the old west. If you like shoot ups ,bank robberies , train robberies and bad guys with a heart of gold buried in blackness it has it all . If you are at all politically correct it probably isn't for you .

Ryan and Borgnine does not get better and great performances by the stock western character actors
superlative Holden, Ryan and Borgnine does not get better and great performances by the stock western character actors. Also recommend Major Dundee set 50 years earlier when the French occupied Mexico.

2disc dvd obviously better than double sided featured in many of the reviews ...
2disc dvd obviously better than double sided featured in many of the reviews here. The Wild Bunch is my all time favourite Western, right from the time of original release, and in my top three films. Peckinpah rocks here.
