EWB 432 KILL OR BE KILLED 5 PAT GARRETT AND BILLY THE KID

Rennie and I are back another episode or KILL OR BE KILLED, our exploration of the bleak, brutal movies of the 70’ and 80’s.  The seminal masterpiece PAT GARRETT AND BILLY THE KID, directed by Sam Peckinpah, in prime form, is our subject this time around.  There are a multitude of cuts available that have been released over the years so, for the record, we will be used the 1988 Turner Preview Cut for basis. This, 122 minute version is an attempt to combine the theatrical release and some “new” scenes that we edited out of the theatrical version and is widely considered closer to Sam Peckinpah’s intent.
