Opinion: Extreme Prejudice was a box-office failure and suffers from some pacing and editing issues. The movie is a wonderful homage to The Wild Bunch (1969) and a spiritual predecessor to The Way of the Gun (2000).

Trivia: It is rumored that almost forty minutes of footage was removed from the final cut including a subplot with Andrew Robinson (Hellraiser, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) as a government agent.
