I'll probably get some flak on this, but my favorite version of the Wild Bunch is the edited for TV version usually seen late at night on broadcast TV. All of the goofy slow motion bloody stuff is edited out, and you can see just how tightly edited the movie really is. When Peckinpah slowed the blood splaters down to very slow motion, the blood just looked like red jello to me, and I never believed any of it. In particular, the scene where the stolen locomotive is put into reverse, and runs backwards to collide with the train while the cavalry is unloading their horses, stands out much more than it did with all of the flying jello. The basic premise of the movie was some situation that developed inevitably to some disastererous conclusion, hapening over and over. The scene where the bridge is blown out under the posse and their horses could'nt be filmed today except as special effects animation.
Just my take on it.
