This might be the most violent Western there is, but it's one with a beating heart.
Few movies have been a landmark for multiple genres and changed the medium of movies like the groundbreaking, blood-soaked The Wild Bunch. The film came out at a time in which shootouts and action scenes meant throwing some thrills on the screen, but they never pushed the envelope quite like this. Hardly ever had films splattered this much blood on screen and managed to be released to a wide audience.
How Spaghetti Westerns Influenced ‘The Wild Bunch' Leading up to the 1960s, Westerns had become Hollywood's biggest money machine. Faces like John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, and Gary Cooper could always be relied upon to call the cows home for an exciting night out at the movies, with a new Western seemingly coming out every five minutes. These early classics were American productions that pictured their cowboys in a much cleaner and more digestible manner than what was to come.
Director Sam Peckinpah Creates Likable Killers As the movie goes on, you start to get to know the Wild Bunch. They're led by Pike Bishop , an aging cowboy who has seen a lot of action and is almost ready to hang up his hat. His company is kept by Dutch Engstrom , Lyle and Tector Gorch , and the much younger Angel . Aside from Angel, the others wrestle with getting older and the regrets that they have about their pasts.
