The Wild Bunch: Restored Version

I don't know exactly when I saw this restored edition of The Wild Bunch. This edition debuted in the US in March 2005, so that's the date I included. I don't recall a lot about the movie, except for its violence, and the use of the "paint" blood, that especially phony blood substitute which was used by special effects artists in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Other famous movies to use this phony-looking blood include The Godfather (when Don Corleone is shot) and The French Connection (when Popeye shoots the Frenchie on the subway stairs).
