...landscape. And this is violence unlike that of any other film. Instead of the crisp theatricality and well-timed effects of a movie like The Dirty Dozen, Penn forces on us the relentless destruction of the human body. Even as the audience laughs at one of the gang's hilariously bungled getaways, a bank clerk jumps on the running board of the car and has his face blown off by a shot through the car window. The camera remains fixed on the bloody head as the car squeals around corners and the body refuses to disengage itself from the door...
Between the violence of murder and the bleak landscape, the private domestic struggles of the gang exist in a kind of limbo. They argue about money, get on each other's nerves, read about themselves in the paper and worry about being ambushed. Bonnie and Clyde indulge in a Robin Hood fantasy about their escapades.

To dramatize the car's jumbo gas tank (19 gallons v. the Mustang's 16), one television commercial shows a gang of toughs-"Hey hood, look at the hood!" their leader shouts-siphoning petrol from a parked Javelin. A magazine ad goes even further in highlighting the Javelin's supposed advantages by picturing it side by side with a Mustang-even though the latter is a '67 model, while...
