I watched The Wild Bunch for the first time ever last night and JESUS loving CHRIST.

I mean I've seen Peckinpah movies before and I know his ultra-violent for the time style. I saw this Python sketch years ago and laughed my rear end off, but I have a fresh understanding of it now.

Watching this nearly 50 years after it's release shocked the hell out of me, especially that opening robbery. I'll need some more time to process it, but for a movie about a bunch of fairly horrible people doing horrible things, I was transfixed the entire way and the ending was the only ending it could be. "We want Angel" indeed. I also appreciated how sympathetic the film was to the Mexican Revolution, I wasn't expecting that going in.
