The Wild Bunch - Iconic Scene

I believe Sam Peckinpah's 1969 western, "The Wild Bunch", is one of the top ten American Films of all time.  Certainly it is one of the great titles of its genre.  Here is a sequence towards the end of the film where the four remaining outlaws from the Bunch decide to walk into almost certain death to rescue one of their own who might already be dead.  Director Peckinpah was originally not going to shoot this scene.  It was not in the script, but he suddenly saw the possibilities, re-arranged the schedule and spent the rest of the day staging and then shooting this classic "last walk to the final showdown,"  A point of interest: the leader of the Bunch is played by William Holden twenty years after his starring role in "Sunset Blvd."

The quality on this clip is quite good, so be sure and blow it up to "full screen."
