Original cut - How long was it and what was cut for R rating

From what i read during my research of Peckinpah films,original rough cut of Wild Bunch was either 4 hours,190 minutes,185 minutes or 151 minutes long.

I heard that it was originally rated X and that MPAA demanded heavy cuts to be made. But i also heard that due to the bad reactions of preview audience on violence in the movie,or by decision made by Peckinpah himself,violence was already cut short before the movie was submitted to MPAA.

While i don't know much about what plot/character/dialogue scenes were deleted, i did read that there was a scene included in earlier cuts where Don Jose admits to the bunch that he ran like a coward when Mapache and his soldiers came to his village. Also theatrical trailer shows one scene that's not in the movie where Sykes tells Dutch that they have to get Angel back and Dutch asks how.

As for violence,i read that opening shootout was longer with more town people getting shot in crossfire and that some death scenes were originally gorier and actually shown onscreen. Example; Crazy Lee shooting bank hostages and then gets shot and killed in slow motion...

I read somewhere that final shootout was never cut,but that Angel's death scene originally had more blood coming from his neck after Mapache cuts him.

I know that death scene of three bounty hunters was filmed and shown onscreen with them getting shot in slow-mo. But this was not deleted because of the violence but because someone suggested to Peckinpah that he should cut that scene out. Which personally i think,works a lot better cause final action scene should include the bunch,and not those who were hunting them.

So,that was all that i know about original cut of The Wild Bunch. If anyone knows more about MPAA cuts and what scenes were cut because of the violence,or just how long was original version,let me know.

Btw,great western movie and probaly my favorite one.
