Story Synopsis:
Controversial at the time of its release for its graphic and copious depiction of violence, The Wild Bunch is a classic Western by the unparalleled master of the genre, Sam Peckinpah. While credited as the “Original Director’s Cut,” in fact, a fully restored version should be 180 minutes.
DVD Picture:
First reviewed in Issue 17, the LaserDisc features a new digital transfer that is sharp and detailed with deep, solid blacks and natural fleshtones that perfectly impart a rugged visual character. The DVD spreads the film to two sides, but there is no anamorphic enhancement mode for improved vertical resolution on widescreen 1.78:1 anamorphic-equipped TVs. The DVD is slightly sharper and more detailed making the DVD the preferred picture.
Soundtrack:
The DVD and LaserDisc Dolby® Digital soundtracks are identical. While the sound is dated there is a terrific music score which embellishes the surrounds with subtle envelopment. Otherwise, the sound is mono with discrete surrounds enlisted from the mag original.
