The Wild Bunch/YMMV

""You was matching whores, in tandem!" "What's that mean?" "That's one behind the other." "Yup, that what we was doing!""
 * Alternate Character Interpretation: I have always had a thought that Dutch (Ernest Borgnine) was gay and in love with Pike. Notice the scene towards the end where the rest of the Bunch is in the brothel. Where is Dutch? Outside, whittling. That always made me think of what whittling might be a metaphor of masturbation. Notice also how Dutch almost always supports Pike in front of the rest of the group, the only notable exception is the "he gave his word", "To a railroad" scene. I think he tries to cover it with his dancing with the woman from Angel's village. Then at the climax, notice how he keeps repeating Pike's name when Pike has been shot while at the gatling gun. I'll freely admit it might take some "interpretation" and it doesn't take away from one darn fine movie. Just something to think about the next time you watch it.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny:


 * Tear Jerker: After the final shootout is over, Thornton and his band of bounty hunters come across the wreckage. As his subordinates are gleefully looting the dead, Thornton stops in his tracks when he comes across.
