It was with some sadness I heard of Mr. Borgnines' passing. Lots of talk on the net about his starring role in McHales' Navy, but the show that really intro'd me to the man was The Wild Bunch film. Dutch Engstrom was a totally different guy from Cdr. Quinton Mchale.
The Wild Bunch are all but gone. Only Angel (Jaime Sanchez), & ironically enough, Crazy Lee (Bo Hopkins) are left.

Best Quote:
Pike: What would you do in his place? He gave his word.
Dutch: He gave his word to a railroad.
Pike: It's his word.
Dutch: That ain't what counts! It's who you give it to!
Recurring Quote:
Pike: Get moving you lazy bastard!
Dutch: I'm coming ... damnit!
