[Deke Thornton: [addressing his posse] You think Pike and old Sykes haven't been watchin' us. They know what this is all about - and what do I have? Nothin' but you egg-suckin', chicken stealing gutter trash with not even sixty rounds between you. We're after men - and I wish to God I was with them. The next time you make a mistake, I'm going to ride off and let you die]
An epic movie quote from IMDB entry on "The Wild Bunch".
I love that movie.
One of the best westerns ever....and it’s set in 1912 no less!
Have no idea what the music was on that YouTube video. Couldn’t understand a word. But there they were Pike, Dutch, the Gorch boys....excellent
A Real Classic
Oh, the Wild Bunch.
My buds and I relate our lives to that movie.
We are ready for the final chapter because we have lived the book.
If you like this film try an earlier film “The Professionals” staring Lee Marvin, Burt Lancaster, Claudia Cardinale, Robert Ryan, Woody Strode, Jack Palance, Ralph Bellamy. Another adventure into early 20th century Mexico.
And heck if you watch these....dig out your copy of The Magnificent 7.....yeah I know it’s a North American version of 7 Samurai by Kurosawa...but it is all American. Another great film
I gave it a 10 out of 10 rating on IMDB. Cant get better than this in the Western genre.
Some great quotes besides the one you chose. Here is one of my favorites from Old Sykes:
“They”? Why, they is the plain and fancy they, that’s who “they” is! Caught you, didn’t they? Tied a tin can to your tail. Led you in and waltzed you out again. Oh my, what a bunch! Big tough ones, hunh? Here you are with a handful of holes, a thumb up your ass, and a big grin to pass the time of day with. They? Who the hell is “they?”
