well - my recollection is that both Bonnie and Clyde and The Dirty Dozen had blazed quite a trail of violence the year before Wild Bunch was released- the use of blood squibs on the principles in Bonnie and Clyde was seen as particularly shocking.


but, i still vote the wild bunch

(oh and since i'm in a historical mood - anyone ever notice that peckinpah has a cameo in the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers - he's the 'gas guy' in the basement)
