The only thing missing that I’d planned for this presentation is an interview with Jerry Fielding, who was about the same age as Peckinpah, died about as young, and apparently was almost as crazy. Fielding said that Sam didn’t know anything about music, but that didn’t stop him from criticizing whatever Fielding had just composed for whatever picture he was working on for him. Fielding said the only solution to Peckinpah’s criticisms was to punch his lights out.
I guess the KK caught up with that clip.
The Wild Bunch (1969) 50th Anniversary with L.Q. Jones and Bo Hopkins A Word on Westerns
“2019 marks the 50th anniversary of director Sam Peckinpah’s THE WILD BUNCH. Many consider it the greatest western film of all time. To celebrate the occasion A WORD ON WESTERNS goes behind-the-scenes combining past interviews with the film’s actors, L.Q. Jones & Bo Hopkins, stuntman Gary Combs and wardrobe supervisor Gordon Dawson.”

Ernest Borgnine on The Wild Bunch
Re-posted by Nicholas Stix
Spoiler alert: The late Ernie Borgnine (1917-2012), may he rest in peace, was a lousy interview. Everyone, in his memory, was (with the possible exception of ex-wife Ethel Merman) “wonderful.” If you’re any good as an interviewer, your attitude needs to be that of T.R.’s only daughter, Alice Roosevelt Longworth (1984-1980), who used to invite select guests at formal dinners, “If you haven't anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me.”

“Ernest Borgnine talks about the critics first screening of THE WILD BUNCH, and Sam Peckinpah's reaction to the response. THE WILD BUNCH ranks #69 on AFI's List, 100 Years...100 Thrills.”

Gringo bandito shoots down the Mexican in enormous numbers. I like. We need it today.
ReplyDeleteThey have a modern pistolero competition called the "Wild Bunch" shoot. You use handgun, shotgun, rifle, and shoot down as many targets as you can in as short a time possible. You are suggested to dress in period type costume.
