Talk about an explosive climax... I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that Tarentino watched this movie on repeat before he penned some of his films.
See this in letterbox. The pan and scan nearly kills the incredible opening sequence (which has beautifully designed titles). Some of the more symbolic moments feel heavy-handed (burning the ants), but overall this is an excellent film.
I was disappointed by this movie. I found it really really boring, Straw Dogs by Peckinpah is much better.
This movie is a masterpiece from Sam Peckinpah. The gunfight finale is spectacular. A must see in a theater.
Peckinpaugh's violent ballet about the arrival of modernity in the West.
Sam Peckinpah did violent movies before people knew what violent movies were. Great, bloody, epic western classic.
An excellent western from Peckinpah, altough I probably prefer the Ballad of Cable Hogue for reasons that are proably entirely sentimental.
great western , changed the way violent shoot outs were portrayed on screen
This classic western still stands the test of time. Not only is it violent, but it's actually quite funny in some parts. I even recognized a couple character actors who were in "Three Amigos" as well. One of the best westerns ever made.
Sykes: What are your plans, now?
Deke Thornton: Drift around down here. Try to stay out of jail.
Sykes: Well, me and the boys got some work to do. You want to come with us? It ain't like it used to be; but it'll do.

a technological marvel that retells one of the most superb stories ever used in all of fimmaking, peckinpah uses full potential of his actors and sets and blends them in a beautiful tragedy, a near-flawless effort
A solid western with a very cool opening that makes you almost feel the dust.
I can't say enough about this movie. A masterpiece from my favorite director; Sam Peckinpah. Who can forget the amazing ending? One shock and just when you're about to recover, another big shock. Peckinpah really didn't deserve all the bad criticism he got from some idiots for th...( read more)

Det vilda gänget utspelar sig 1913, altså i slutet av den så kallade Vilda västerntiden, en helt klart sevärd film.
possibly one of the greatest Westerns with director Peckinpah at his peak form. Considered ultra-violent for it's time (late 60's)
Un groupe de hors-la-loi tentent de s'emparer d'une cargaison d'armes alors que leur tęte a été mise ā prix.
Excellent film, darkly funny, almost a more violent version of "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" in some ways, The final walk is very powerful and the finale is breathtaking, truly recomended to fans of both Westerns and Hong Kong Director John Woo (A stylistic descendant of P...( read more)
Definitely DID NOT live up to my expectations. The film is a western about a wild bunch of cowboys that are hunted by Mexicans and angry townsfolk, and just isn't as good as most say. Remember the action scenes that are always highly praised? They are too quick and poorly edited...( read more)
The greatest western ever made. And the ultimate "mans" film. Peckinpah created a film were theres no hope for the outlaw....so why not go out in a hail of bullets!
This a really good movie bloody and violent. It had some good ahoot out especially the ending. CRAZY
