Description

SAM PECKINPAH'S EPIC STORY OF THE SOUTHWEST!Charlton Heston stars as Major Amos Dundee, a vainglorious Union Cavalry officer, who mounts an expedition to hunt down Apache war chief Sierra Charriba. Building his own army of criminals, ex-slaves and Confederate POWs - among them one Captain Ben Tyreen (Richard Harris), whose intense former friendship with Dundee is tainted with a sense of betrayal on both sides - Dundee heads into Mexico, his eye fixed firmly on a last shot at greatness.Legendarily acerbic, Major Dundee would be the first time that Peckinpah had a movie taken away from him. While a director’s cut may be lost to us, this Limited Edition shows us the thrilling, morally complex epic that Peckinpah was aiming for. Beautifully shot and with a stellar supporting cast including James Coburn, Warren Oates, and L.Q. Jones, it remains a stunning achievement and an essential experience for anyone interested in the life and cinema of “Bloody Sam.”TWO-DISC LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY CONTENTSThe 136-minute Extended Version of the film from a 4K scan, as well as the original 122-minute Theatrical Version60-page booklet featuring new writing by Farran Nehme, Roderick Heath and Jeremy Carr plus select archive materialLimited edition packaging featuring newly commissioned artwork by Tony StellaFold out poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Tony StellaDISC ONE - EXTENDED VERSIONHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation from a 4K scan by Sony PicturesDTS-HD MA 5.1 surround audio with new score by Christopher CaliendoLossless original mono audio with original score by Daniele AmfitheatrofOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingAudio commentary with Nick Redman, David Weddle, Garner Simmons, Paul SeydorAudio commentary by critics Glenn Erickson & Alan K.

  • Peckinpah
Peckinpah's 2nd movie. If you feel, as I do, that Sam Peckinpah is the finest Director of movies, then "Major Dundee" provides an excellent Case Study for how a great movie can be destroyed. Peckinpah spoke up about how this movie was taken away from him and ruined, and was blacklisted because of it. Anyone attempting to understand fully the following masterpieces will value from the study of "Major Dundee". The commentary is excellent. Again, I'd only recommend this movie to someone who admires Sam Peckinpah's masterpieces ("Ride the High Country", "The Wild Bunch", "Junior Bonner", "Cable Hogue", "The Getaway"," Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia", "Straw Dog"s, and the Director's Cut of "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid"), and is especially valuable for someone looking for how "The Wild Bunch" emerged. ... show more

  • a Masterpiece!
Ambition, made of sterner stuff, is the solder’s virtue that chooses gain, which darkens him. Bravery, comprised of nobler spirit, is the solder’s honor that elevates the soldier’s merit to the echelon of Homeric virtue of arete, the excellence of man leading to achieving a supernatural feat of heroism. An excellent soldier with arete knows no boundary of political, religious, social, or racial division and transcends the subjectivity of time. Major Dundee (1965), an American western film directed by Sam Peckinpah, cogently translates a balanced, objective equilibrium to test the validity of the soldiers’ virtues on the continuum of the Homeric arete in the background setting of the American Civil War. Major Amos Charles Dundee of the Union Army (played by Charlton Heston) is a man of primitive ambition of glory sent to head a squalid prisoner-of-war camp in the New Mexico Territory. There he meets his former friend turned foe Confederate Captain Benjamin Tyreen (played by Richard Harris), who bears a grudge against Major Dundee for his betrayal of friendship. The notable tension between the two always remains even after their uneasy but necessary collaboration. Still, the esprit de corps consisting of unlikely but able-bodied characters sets to take out the Apache War Party in the new territories. Major Dundee sets out for the campaign not of pure divine patriotism but his glory despite his contentions with Captain Tyreen, who is more morally honorable and culturally sophisticated than himself. It is Captain Tyreen, the renegade leader of the southern rebels who embodies the model of the arete, combined with moral integrity and soldierly fitness fabulously demonstrated in his effortlessly stylish habiliment. He is a dandy gentleman with decency and learning and an exemplary soldier and leader with justice and bravery. The refinement of civility as incarnate in the figure of Captain Tyreen is vividly contrasted with the rough intransigence of Major Dundee through the exterior appearances and actions of the two opposite characters. Even Captain Tyreen’s attitude toward the colored Union soldiers surpasses Major Dundee’s languid attitude toward his colored soldiers fighting for the same cause. “Major Dundee” is a new type of western that abandons its common thematic elements consisting of noble savages, self-righteous lone gunslingers, the arch-villains, and beautiful women in pursuit. It is a new type of western that begins to be aware of the societal changes in the reflection of the nature of humanity with bold actions of likable bravado and admiring characters that are not circumscribed in the extreme ambit of norms and conventions with an artistic touch of vivid realism. Despite the rather unsatisfying commercial success of the film when it first came out, I find this film both entertaining and thoughtful in the historical background of the Civil War, showing true bravery equipped with respectful integrity of a person, friend or foe. There is no better sign of excellence in man than the bare demonstration of the act. ... show more

  • Major Dundee kicks some ass!
"old school" is still cool. Major Dundee is a film "not like they make em anymore". With big stars, lots of action, a little romance, and a rousing score. The opening theme done by the fabulous Mitch Miller singers still gives me chills--you'll want to join the 7th Cavalry right on the spot when you here it. Then you have Charlton Heston at his smarmy, arrogant, bad-ass best as Major Dundee and Richard Harris as his friend/nemesis a Confederate POW and Heston is his jailer. Chuck, needs Richard and his Rebels to track down an Apache Warrior who flees to Mexico after slaughtering some settlers and the hunt is on. Directed by Sam Peckinpah the film ran out of funds to complete all the scenes that were intended but no matter. I couldn't tell the difference between the "Extended Cut" and the original. James Coburn, Ben Jonson, Warren Oates and a slew of other great stars of the 60's, 70's are also along for the journey. Halfway along Senta Berger shows up--drop dead gorgeous as ever and she gets involved with Heston who can handle mules, soldiers and guns a lot better than Women. I've seen this film at least 10 times, it never gets old, its similar in 'theme' to "Alvarez Kelly" which is also never gets old to watch. ... show more

  • OOP
I believe this Sony Italy release is OOP and is identical to an expensive U.S. release. I received a used copy in as new condition. As far as I could tell only two were available worldwide from Amazon or Ebay. There is a version available from Sony Spain and a recent release from Exposure in Germany with improved extras. I have not viewed the Spanish or German releases, HTH, good luck. This a great movie, sadly neglected, enjoy! ... show more

  • Great cast, boring experience!
I've never seen Major Dundee in my 70 years. Oh, I've had plenty of chances. I always found something more important to do. But recently I looked at the cast and the director, Sam Peckinpah, and wondered "am I missing something here?" So I got the DVD. It starts out pretty good with Charleston Heston as the tough Major. Richard Harris is miscast as a southern army prisoner and former military acquaintance. After a threat of the hangman's noose he gets his prisoners to go along with him to chase down some renegade Indians. That's the high point after that it turns into a snooze fest. Even the final battle scene can't resurrect this bore. There are some great actors along with Heston and Harris: James Coburn, Warren Oates, R. G. Armstrong, L. Q. Jones and Jim Hutton among the supporting cast. I was disappointed to say the least and would not recommend this movie even on the strength of the cast. ... show more
