The Wild Bunch
Aging outlaws ride into a Texas border town in stolen army uniforms for a railroad payroll and walk into an ambush laid on the rooftops, with a temperance parade crossing the street between them. What is left of the gang crosses into Mexico and hires out to a general who wants a wagonload of rifles. Peckinpah cut the gunfights from six cameras at different speeds, and set off a decade of argument about screen violence.
