R.I.P. L.Q. Jones, Bo Hopkins & Gordon Dawson They remember THE WILD BUNCH Plus stuntman Gary Combs!

Bo Hopkins (2/2/42 - 5/28/22) made his feature film debut in THE WILD BUNCH. He had never been squibed before, but Bloody Sam was making a name for himself and Bo was ready for anything; even a trip to the hospital! Bo was "Crazy Lee" and lived to not only make dozens of other features and TV shows, but he worked for Sam several more times. Veteran character actor, and Peckinpah favorite, L.Q. Jones (8/19/1927 - 7/9/2022) also shares memories of what it was like working for Bloody Sam. He worked with the cinema legend five times. There are revealing behind-the-scenes conversations with producer and host, Rob Word, in this interview, taped April 16, 2014 at the Autry Museum. Bo and L.Q. share some hysterical stories about working on THE WILD BUNCH. Many consider director Sam Peckinpah’s THE WILD BUNCH (1969) to be the greatest western film of all time. To celebrate the movie, A WORD ON WESTERNS went behind-the-scenes on THE WILD BUNCH combining interviews with Bo Hopkins, L.Q. Jones, stuntman Gary Combs and wardrobe supervisor Gordon Dawson (4/20/1938 - 3/6/2023). Bo and L.Q. had an amazing careers and were always ready to delight fans with tall tales of their Hollywood adventures. R.I.P.
