I will say it forever: Your generation has been lied to about the visual quality of old Hollywood films (and older films in general). Remastering often just gets a film back to looking a lot like it did when first released to theaters. The cinematography and production design in so many classics were stunners. Remastering often just removes the wear and tear of physical media kept in storage (or replayed and reproduced) for decades. You have been led to believe the digital age was some kind of aesthetic leap forward but the truth is that film's real evolution happened between 1920 and 1980. All of your favorite films, shows and games stand on those 20th century shoulders. You will be surprised at what you find the further you explore classic cinema. With all due respect. Great reaction, btw.
real light captured on and then shown as actual light through film stock has always been superior in QUALITY to digital, digital is just far more CONVENIENT. It's blown me away in the past, pulling out a old Canon AE1 35mm, taking some shots, having them developed, and comparing to my DLSR on the same shots, no comparison. Film has a depth and richness you lose, all in my opinion obviously. It's like the debate between solid state vs vacuum tube amplifiers. When tube equipment WORKS it's superior, it just takes more tuning, maintenance, and the manufacturing cost was higher than integrated circuits. Funny thing is I know exactly how a transistor works, I was a CS major, but how a vacuum tube works I haven't a damn single clue, that's old-school magic lol.
The Wild Bunch is probably my favorite movie of all time. You guys pretty much got it on first viewing so I applaud you for that, because it’s a thick movie. Repeat viewing will give you that xtra point to make it a 10.
Peckinpah was an argumentative fella and made many people not friendly too him. He didn't like studio interference. He did make a slew of interesting films. I would say that any film Peckinpah had a creative role in is worth a watch.
Seconded! Peckinpah definitely marched to the beat of his own drum, and didn't live as long as I wish he had. But all his movies were worth it. Ride the High Country is one of my favorites.
all of the shots of the children watching cruelty, violence and smiling, and in the end, the kid soldiers shooting at the gang was very poetic. A message of how our youth is subjected to glorified violence, and how it ends up. Peckinpah is one of my fav directors, and this is his masterpiece.
That machine gun they pulled out and showed off was a Browning 1917, chambered in 30-06. It had that big jacket around the barrel because it was water cooled. Those things get hot, and start cooking off rounds which is dangerous to the operator, and burn out the barrel too fast if they can't be kept cool.
This film came out at the height of the Vietnam war and was a direct response to it. Peckinpah hated the war and the massacres in this were analogous to the massacres that were happening in Vietnam. The film was also seen as the death of the traditional western.
Most definitely! It helped to open the doors to many Westerns that followed, especially during the 1960's. I was ten years old when it debuted in 1960. An instant classic and all-time favorite of mine.
Check out '12 Angry Men' from 1957. It holds up very well. It's not a western but but it's regarded as one of the best movies of all time. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and all that.
Sam Peckinpaugh, is a legendary Film Director. Tarantino definitely was inspired by him. With this film and Django Unchained you could see the similarities. Also check out Straw Dogs (1971) & The Osterman Weekend which was his last film before he passed away. This is considered to be during this era the most violent western ever in film history.
Another classic Western you would both enjoy is "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". Starring Clint Eastwood, as the Man With No Name. I enjoyed your reaction and can't wait to see more! 🎥🍿👍
It's a so modern movie with violence, nudity...It chocked people in 69. Peckinpah had a very strong personnality, with alcool and cocain. He love shooting in Mexico. He was hated by the studio but he's certainly one of the best dicrector in history. He invented this kind of slow motion with this way to edit. A real genius, dead too soon.
The guy who made this, Sam Peckinpah, is often praised as the "proto-Tarantino." This movie is easily in the top 5 Westerns of all time. It's a rare one that takes place technically in the 20th century, around 1910 or so. A bit before the Mexican Revolution and WW1. The civilians at the beginning singing songs against alcohol are the political movement that a few years later succeeds in passing Prohibition.
The actor (Alfonso Arau) who plays ''Herrera'' is also in John Landis ''¡Three Amigos!'' (1986) one of the greatest comedies ever made, which is set in 1916, time period of ''The Wild Bunch'' is 1912....
Fun fact, this is one of quentin tarantinos favorite films, and peckinpah the director one of his favorite directors. U can see the influence in the shootout camera angles, pacing, and blood
@@kristahartmann6712 When I was young in college, I watched movies on VHS and saw "Straw Dogs." As a young unsure man "Straw Dogs," made me uncomfortable. As an old man I would have punished the perpetrators with malice and violence.
Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia is another great collaboration between the two. Just wish that movie was easy to find on streaming because it’s underrated as hell.
Grew up watching this on vhs, great film. If i could recommend a relatively more forgotten about western thats primo , HOMBRE. One of paul Newmans best and starring the goat of villains Richard Boone.
Once FRR start watching Film Noire, they will go down a rabbit hole. The films we think of as Film Noire, were actually considered B movies from the studio's perspective. The studios only wanted the film to come in on time and on budget for block booking purposes. If the director proved he could do that the studio left him alone.
A great oportunity to see fantastic performances Robert Ryan,William Holden,Ernest Borgnine,Edmond O’brien, Ben Johnson,Warren Oates,Emilio Fernandez…the best
Dope, simply dope ! Great reaction to a great movie, guys ! From an old western fan, very happy to see you both plunge into the genre. My favorite western is Once upon a Time in the West by sergio leone. I know for A fact you'd love it and that i would love watching you enjoy it ( Patreon earsdropping moment ) Anyways, keep filling the Book with beautiful pictures, I'm here for it.
if you wanna check out young Clint Western Movies , go for The Good, the Bad & the Ugly (1966) or The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976). but the greatest Western of all time is Blazing Saddles!
It s so good to hear smart comments and guys who appreciate the cinematography. Watch "once upon a time in the west" (1968), it's pure art, amazing cinematography, music, acting (charles Bronson, Henri fonda, Claudia Cardinale)? dialogs.... Even Stanley Kubrick called Sergio Leone, the director, to understand how he shot spme scenes !
Ooh, I think I may be the first to mention this, but this movie was a major influence on Red Dead Redemption, especially #1. No spoilers, not like it’s a ripoff. Just going to throw a few suggestions out there. Gotta check out The Good, Bad and the Ugly and then Unforgiven - Both Eastwood and kinda represent the spectrum of the genre. Also, you’d guys would LOVE Deadwood. And lastly, the Coen brothers’ True Grit. I know you dig the Coen bros, it’s a damn good one and far better than the original. As usual, thanks for the reaction. Always a pleasure. Some oldie suggestions: One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest For cinematography WAY ahead of its time - Metroplois And for insane stunts, pull up a Buster Keaton compilation.
55:53 "Mad Monster Party?" 1967 That was my holy grail as a kid! Just saw the trail end of it when I was in 4th grade. When I was around 40 years old, I finally got to watch the whole movie. Have you done a review on this?
40:39 1933 was when the US went off the Gold Standard. Before that all paper money was backed by gold or silver. If you had a twenty dollar bill you could go into a bank and get a twenty-dollar gold coin.
So many great westerns to check out guys! Here just a few "Outlaw Joesy Wales" "The Good The Bad The Ugly" "Hombre" "The Searchers" "Tombstone". Also another more recent one it’s a mini series 1883 definitely worth a watch. Think it came out 2022-23 like 8 episodes but top notch
I always liked the byline of this one: "Nine men who came too late and stayed too long." Gun slinging outlaws at the end of the gun-slinging-outlaw era. Like the last dying members of a species.
I wanna recommend two incredible gangster movies, made by the legendary director of ''The Wild Bunch'' Sam Peckinpah: ''The Getaway'' (1972) & ''Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia'' (1974), seeing the type of movies y'all like and the good sense of humor, y'all gonna love these movies (btw, he also made a great ''siege'' movie ''Straw Dogs'' and a war movie ''Cross of Iron'')! P.E.ace from overseas, The Netherlands.
28:02 "The Wild Bunch," is an odd movie. Even though we know and witness that they are cold-blooded killers we have sympathy for them. That sympathy we feel comes from the director. Peckinpah also co-wrote the screenplay.
That is a real good movie. The thing about most all western movies is they are as true to life as they portray. Open range is the last real western movie in my opinion. But lonesome dove is by far the best Western ever made.
Your first Western? GOOD CHOICE. You're gonna have a hard time finding a better one. I'd try The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Unforgiven, Once Upon A Time In The West, The Searchers, Young Guns, True Grit (either version) and The Quick & The Dead.
I was born in 1958.....back in the 70's the final shoot out from the "The Wild Bunch" was legend......Great reactions, your on a good road now...don't know if you've seen "Tombstone"? it's from the 90's but it's a shoot em up...true story too
You point out the number of shoulder wounds---It's less a practical consideration and more a case of Peckinpah showing how messy and unpredictable violence is. The gunmen who can't hit anything is a common action movie trope, but the notion of the dead-eye who always hits moving human targets in a gun battle square in either the forehead or the heart is just as silly and unlikely. In real life, you're going to get a lot more glancing blows and defensive wounds, and Peckinpah was among the first directors to depict this. Another director who did that very effectively: Michael Cimino, Oscar winner for THE DEER HUNTER (1978). His 1985 film YEAR OF THE DRAGON is full of people taking stray bullets in the hands, the feet, the collarbone, through the (facial) cheek, etc. It's one of those things you never really consider until you see it done well, and realise how effective it is.
The cast of the Wild Bunch were all big or up and coming Hollywood stars of the day. Holden, Earnst Bourigne. Etc. Sam Peckinpah movie are all classics. Try The Getaway with Steve McQueen. The final shootout is considered one all time greatest in cinema.
8:27 Ryan plays Ike Clanton in one of my favorite film interpretations of the aftermath of the gunfight at the O.K. corral, "Hour of the Gun." 1967 Tombstone borrows a lot from this movie.
Try, Cross Of Iron. The next movie by the director here (Sam Peckinpah). Bloody war film, from the German perspective, about Germans on the Russian front. Good story as well, treachery and double cross.
Okay, on the subject of older movies: Okay, on the subject of older movies: "A Fistful of Dollars" (1964), "For a Few Dollars More" (1965) and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" (1966) comprise a trilogy of celebrated westerns that essentially launched the career of Clint Eastwood. After watching those three films, it's probably worth it to check out Eastwood's 1992 film "Unforgiven". It's narratively unrelated, but it's a deconstructionist Western that plays on the cinematic persona he established in those three films. A series of film noir movies that are worth checking out are "The Maltese Falcon (1941)", "Casablanca (1942)", "Chinatown (1974)" and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)". The first three films are unrelated to each other, but they each served to inspire the satire of "Rabbit." "The Hidden Fortress (1958)" would make an interesting double feature with the original "Star Wars (1977)". "The Hidden Fortress" is a Japanese film that (depending on who you ask) either inspired Geroge Lucas in the creation of the original Star Wars, or was ripped off by him whole-sale. Another double feature that's worth having is the Japanese film "The Seven Samurai (1954)" paired with its American remake "The Magnificent Seven (1960)". It's worth noting that Antione Fuqua later teamed with Denzel Washington to remake "The Magnificent Seven" in 2016. "The Great Escape (1963)" is a war movie set in a German P. O. W. camp. It's the film Rick Dalton is said to have almost appeared in in "Ounce Upon a Time in Hollywood". "The Dirty Dozen (1967)", another celebrated war movie. "Wait Until Dark (1967)", a thriller.
I have some western suggestions for you. Clint Eastwood Outlaw Josey Wales, The good the bad and the ugly, and Pale Rider. One of my all time favorites about Jessie James and the James Younger gang The Long Riders. Check the original Rooster Cogburn for John Wayne. They Call me Trinity for true spaghetti western gold. And for an hbo series Tombstone. You would at least scratch the surface of great westerns with that list. Just discovered your channel. Grand Torino was my introduction and i really think you do a great and enjoyable job.
Django Unchained is a good revisionist western, but you gotta see the original Django from 1966, which is necked necked for the best spaghetti western (Eastwood territory) of all time with Leone's Once Upon a Time in The West. those two movies right there is a lot of insight into where Tarantinos been coming from all this time
The f1rst time I saw it, I juz' said: *WOH DɅH FUCK?!?!?!?...* Totally unexpected. Shoot the boss while there are three hundred soldiers around? *NOT TODɅY-ɅY!* Blood-based honor took its toll on everyone there. Even from survivors. Brands that last forever. *GREɅT CɅST. GREɅT MOVIE.* A curiosity. In Brazil, this masterpiece had one of the happiest title adaptations, as we only realize that it anticipates the entire tragedy when the last shots are fired against the band of bounty hunters that took away the bodies of the *WILD BUNCH.* Here it was called *MY HɅTE WILL BE YOUR HERITɅGE.* Stronger and truer, rarely seen. A solid *NIN9 IN NIN9,* for sure, dudes!!!... Ʌlex Rossimartin, Sete (7L) Lagoas, MINɅS GER🔺ES, Dyst(r)opic Bra(s)zil(ness), on ɅPRIL LɅVIGNE 27, 2024.

We need see this master piece in the cinema again…the colours,sound,image,the history,locations ..all
old men riding with their own rules,their own style,to the end,and no regrets
A classic western. Peckinpah was the first director to show intense and realistic violence in movies.
@@robertglass1352 Not true Arthur Penn’s Bonnie and Clyde had come out 2 years before but did not cause change
This is the movie that changed violence in movies. It came out in 1969.
13:12 it’s funny you mention Red Dead Redemption since that old man was what inspired Uncle’s character.
I feel like you have a patron that is literally scanning my DVD and Blu-Ray shelf!
You GOTTA watch The Magnificent 7 with Steve McQueen, Yule Brenner, Charles Bronson and all the rest. True Clasic!
Most definitely! It helped to open the doors to many Westerns that followed, especially during the 1960's. I was ten years old when it debuted in 1960. An instant classic and all-time favorite of mine.

Straw Dogs is intense. Still shocking to me 35 years later.
A plethora of hollywood stars and character actors in this, including old man Sykes - Edmond O'Brien, whose film career spanned 40 years.

Unforgiven is Clint Eastwoods best western. Think y’all would enjoy that one. Acting, themes and dialogue on point

So many recent directors took inspiration from his films, and especially his action scenes.
That's an insult to Peckinpah.
Beside "The great Silence " and "Keoma " my alltime fave in Western Genre.
The actor (Alfonso Arau) who plays ''Herrera'' is also in John Landis ''¡Three Amigos!'' (1986) one of the greatest comedies ever made, which is set in 1916, time period of ''The Wild Bunch'' is 1912....
Do you know what a plethora is?
Fun fact, this is one of quentin tarantinos favorite films, and peckinpah the director one of his favorite directors. U can see the influence in the shootout camera angles, pacing, and blood
Peckinpah's most controversial film is "Straw Dogs." 1971 Dustin Hoffman and Susan George.
"Straw Dogs"... The memory still makes me extremely uncomfortable.

Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia is another great collaboration between the two.
Just wish that movie was easy to find on streaming because it’s underrated as hell.
Grew up watching this on vhs, great film. If i could recommend a relatively more forgotten about western thats primo , HOMBRE. One of paul Newmans best and starring the goat of villains Richard Boone.

Peckinpah is known for slow motion violence.
TCM is my shit. One of the few channels that stayed what they are for decades. I fall asleep to it and wake up to all types of crazy ,obscure shit

As usual, thanks for the reaction. Always a pleasure.
Some oldie suggestions:
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
For cinematography WAY ahead of its time - Metroplois
And for insane stunts, pull up a Buster Keaton compilation.
The movie that got me hooked intellectually on pre 1950 films was "Bringing Up Baby." 1938. Howard Hawkes directing. Comedy.
I grew up watching westerns, this is a favourite. It was banned in the UK because of the end scene.
That end scene was epic!!! 🤯 Especially for 1969
Rayford Barnes is in this movie, but I've never spotted him. Barnes was a method actor. He studied at Stella Adler's school of acting.
Just think FRR, when start watching enough older movies you will recognize the actors even the character actors.
55:53 "Mad Monster Party?" 1967 That was my holy grail as a kid! Just saw the trail end of it when I was in 4th grade. When I was around 40 years old, I finally got to watch the whole movie. Have you done a review on this?

40:39 1933 was when the US went off the Gold Standard. Before that all paper money was backed by gold or silver. If you had a twenty dollar bill you could go into a bank and get a twenty-dollar gold coin.
So many great westerns to check out guys! Here just a few "Outlaw Joesy Wales" "The Good The Bad The Ugly" "Hombre" "The Searchers" "Tombstone". Also another more recent one it’s a mini series 1883 definitely worth a watch. Think it came out 2022-23 like 8 episodes but top notch

37:20 You are correct cinematography. Lucien Ballard was the Cinematographer. He was married to Merle Oberon! Merle Oberon was a beautiful woman.
36:29 In all likelihood it's a Maxim gun invented in 1884.
28:02 "The Wild Bunch," is an odd movie. Even though we know and witness that they are cold-blooded killers we have sympathy for them. That sympathy we feel comes from the director. Peckinpah also co-wrote the screenplay.

The old man, Edmond O'Brien, was a famous movie leading man in his day. He was the original protagonist in the movie "1984".
Your first Western? GOOD CHOICE. You're gonna have a hard time finding a better one. I'd try The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Unforgiven, Once Upon A Time In The West, The Searchers, Young Guns, True Grit (either version) and The Quick & The Dead.
I was born in 1958.....back in the 70's the final shoot out from the "The Wild Bunch" was legend......Great reactions, your on a good road now...don't know if you've seen "Tombstone"? it's from the 90's but it's a shoot em up...true story too

His 1985 film YEAR OF THE DRAGON is full of people taking stray bullets in the hands, the feet, the collarbone, through the (facial) cheek, etc. It's one of those things you never really consider until you see it done well, and realise how effective it is.
12:05 That's Edmond O'Brien another very good actor. Like Ryan he was in some Film Noire, my favorite being "The Killers." 1946.
The cast of the Wild Bunch were all big or up and coming Hollywood stars of the day. Holden, Earnst Bourigne. Etc.
Sam Peckinpah movie are all classics. Try The Getaway with Steve McQueen. The final shootout is considered one all time greatest in cinema.
Man I would've never thought I'd see anyone reacting to this movie on yt. Thought I'd never meet anyone that even heard of this movie.

A series of film noir movies that are worth checking out are "The Maltese Falcon (1941)", "Casablanca (1942)", "Chinatown (1974)" and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)". The first three films are unrelated to each other, but they each served to inspire the satire of "Rabbit."
"The Hidden Fortress (1958)" would make an interesting double feature with the original "Star Wars (1977)". "The Hidden Fortress" is a Japanese film that (depending on who you ask) either inspired Geroge Lucas in the creation of the original Star Wars, or was ripped off by him whole-sale.
Another double feature that's worth having is the Japanese film "The Seven Samurai (1954)" paired with its American remake "The Magnificent Seven (1960)". It's worth noting that Antione Fuqua later teamed with Denzel Washington to remake "The Magnificent Seven" in 2016.
"The Great Escape (1963)" is a war movie set in a German P. O. W. camp. It's the film Rick Dalton is said to have almost appeared in in "Ounce Upon a Time in Hollywood".
"The Dirty Dozen (1967)", another celebrated war movie.
"Wait Until Dark (1967)", a thriller.
The GOAT.
Great reaction! This was very violent for 1960s cinema damn
Awesome movie reaction
46:49 nah, those are just kids. We start out evil.
Typically American laughing out loud at people getting shot, falling from a roof?
'MERICA!
Hey! Try "THE PROFESSIONALS". Movie set in the same time period with Woodie Strode, Robert Ryan, Bert Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Jack Palance.
I have some western suggestions for you. Clint Eastwood Outlaw Josey Wales, The good the bad and the ugly, and Pale Rider. One of my all time favorites about Jessie James and the James Younger gang The Long Riders. Check the original Rooster Cogburn for John Wayne. They Call me Trinity for true spaghetti western gold. And for an hbo series Tombstone. You would at least scratch the surface of great westerns with that list. Just discovered your channel. Grand Torino was my introduction and i really think you do a great and enjoyable job.
Great reaction fellas, you'd like Way of the Gun (2000), Edge of Darkness (2010) and Hombre (1967)
Hey, if you guys want to watch a good Sam Peckinpah movie, check out Cross of Iron. It's kind of The wild bunch goes to the WWII Russian front.
Django Unchained is a good revisionist western, but you gotta see the original Django from 1966, which is necked necked for the best spaghetti western (Eastwood territory) of all time with Leone's Once Upon a Time in The West. those two movies right there is a lot of insight into where Tarantinos been coming from all this time
Anybody know the bodycount in The Wild Bunch?
HIGH NOON OLDER BUT PRETTY GOOD WESTERN
That was like the last hurrah for the spaghetti western genre, and they damn sure went out with a bang
Can you stop saying Duh-jango? He clearly says in the movie that the D is silent.
this is what you chose to cry about today? We got you though, the next time we do The Wild Bunch, we won't say it.
@@FriendRequestReviews Sorry Buh-ralik and Fuh-ormal, it's just the man's name.
Not a word about the fabulous actors?
first
u 2 could't think your way out of a closet (or THE closet, which I suspect)
ooooohhhhhyes
The f1rst time I saw it, I juz' said:
*WOH DɅH FUCK?!?!?!?...*
Totally unexpected. Shoot the boss while there are three hundred soldiers around?
*NOT TODɅY-ɅY!*
Blood-based honor took its toll on everyone there. Even from survivors. Brands that last forever.
*GREɅT CɅST. GREɅT MOVIE.*
A curiosity. In Brazil, this masterpiece had one of the happiest title adaptations, as we only realize that it anticipates the entire tragedy when the last shots are fired against the band of bounty hunters that took away the bodies of the *WILD BUNCH.* Here it was called *MY HɅTE WILL BE YOUR HERITɅGE.* Stronger and truer, rarely seen.
A solid *NIN9 IN NIN9,* for sure, dudes!!!...
