Thanks a lot! I just watched 'Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia'. A movie I had for more than a decade on DVD and never found the time to watch it until today. I've been a huge Kitano fanboy since the late 1990's and I have all his films on DVD and Peckinpah's 'Alfredo Garcia' catched me immediately. It's kinda funny that there had been some kind of supplementation between US and Japanese directors. The plot of 'Seven Samurai' by Akira Kurasawa had been transferred to a Western (Magnificent Seven). 'Yojimbo' is the blueprint for 'Last Man Standing' and another movie I cannot remember at the moment. 'Lady Snowblood' is the blueprint for 'Kill Bill'. I am German and I may have to appologize for my bad English.

Interesting to note, the first movie in the dollars trilogy is based on Yojimbo.

Great stuff! Although credited with inventing slo-mo action sequences, the rapid stacato editing (which sped them up!) during those sequences had as big an impact on me! Modern film action owes Sam and his editors a lot!!

I don't understand the critique of the people you mentioned because this particular scene and especially its action shootout part are beautifully choreographed. Despite different angles the geography of characters and directions in the frame is well established and logical, you have that cinestetic feeling when Robert Webber falls in slow motion, before that Oates' maneuver to trick him into changing position is also completely logical. That goes for every detail in this scene where everything fits perfectly and again you say to yourself ''this is logical'' - logical in sense of film language, i.e. the way it was shot and edited, and logical in the sense of what's happening in the scene, i.e. inner logic of the action. Only greatest director can make it all believable and organic. By the way Peckinpah is my favorite director, he excites me to this day. I am in my late 30's and when I watched ''Wild Bunch'' as a 16 year old, my first Peckinpah film ever, I was so mesmerized and deeply touched that to this day I cannot shake off of that initial feeling, feeling that this man was interested in truth, truth with capital T, that he is not bullshitting me. I have also special ''relation'' to violence, one smaller segment of it is my growing up in war area some 25 km from the front line, another one is the brutality and alcoholism of my father. In that time I watched on TV ''Wild Bunch''. Directors who I also cherish and who are similar to Peckinpah in their deep hurtfulness with the state of humanity, where you sense that their opus is deeply personal and statement on human condition - are Masaki Kobayashi (especially in ''Harakiri'' and ''Samurai Rebellion'') and Aleksei German (the elder). If you have time and inclination read this from my blog about those two auteurs: serbfromsocialisrepubliccroatiaandkrajina.wordpress.com/2016/02/05/few-thoughts-about-aleksey-german-the-elder-and-masaki-kobayashi/

Il cinema di Peckinpah è virile bellezza pura. Non ho mai visto niente di più bello dei suoi film; alla pari con i quadri di Caravaggio e le canzoni di Springsteen!

I hadn't considered the females as life force and the command to kill at the end. Very good.

I can't agree with your conclusion, Bennie slowly, almost subconsciouly realises the reason behind everything, El Jefe pride, and when Teresa tell him to kill her father, the pause is more of a revelation. His last words, reveal it as well - 'You take care of the son, I'll take care of the father.'
