With nothing to show for the failed robbery, Bishop's gang agrees to steal a shipment of guns for General "Mapache" Juerta, to restore their fortunes. With Thornton closing in, and their association with the evil Juerta trying their conscience, Bishop and co. prepare for their lawless past to catch up with them.

"The wild bunch - An album in montage" - Nominated in 1996 for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject, The Wild Bunch: An Album in Montage is a behind the scenes look at the making of an American classic. In 1995, some 70 minutes of black and white footage of Peckinpah directing The Wild Bunch were discovered on a shelf in the vaults of Warner Bros. Studios. No one knows who shot them or how they got there, but they've sat there for over a quarter of a century. Paul Seydor, a Peckinpah scholar, teamed up with Nick Redman, a music archivist who'd recently restored the soundtrack of The Wild Bunch for compact disc. Combining newly found footage, scenes from the finished movie, and commentary, they have created a remarkably insightful work: a privileged glimpse at a great director working on his masterpiece. With the voices of Ed Harris, Ernest Borgnine, Edmond O'Brian and others.

"Cambridge Film Handbooks: Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch" (1999) by Stephen Price - Demonstrating to filmmakers the power of irony as a narrative voice and its effectiveness as a tool for exploring and portraying brutality, The Wild Bunch fundamentally changed the Western, moving it into a more brutal and psychopathic territory than it had ever inhabited before. This volume includes freshly commissioned essays by several leading scholars of Peckinpah's work. Examining the film's production history from script to screen, its rich and ambivalent vision of American society, and its relationship to the western genre, among other topics, it provides a definitive reinterpretation of an enduring film classic.

"Savage Cinema: Sam Peckinpah and the rise of ultraviolent movies" (1998) by Stephen Prince - More than any other filmmaker, Sam Peckinpah opened the door for graphic violence in movies. In this book, Stephen Prince explains the rise of explicit violence in the American cinema, its social effects, and the relation of contemporary ultraviolence to the radical, humanistic filmmaking that Peckinpah practiced. Prince demonstrates Peckinpah's complex approach to screen violence and shows him as a serious artist whose work was tied to the social and political upheavals of the 1960s. He explains how the director's commitment to showing the horror and pain of violence compelled him to use a complex style that aimed to control the viewer's response. Prince offers an unprecedented portrait of Peckinpah the filmmaker. Drawing on primary research materials--Peckinpah's unpublished correspondence, scripts, production memos, and editing notes--he provides a wealth of new information about the making of the films and Peckinpah's critical shaping of their content and violent imagery. This material shows Peckinpah as a filmmaker of intelligence, a keen observer of American society, and a tragic artist disturbed by the images he created.
