Extreme Prejudice is an American action film originally released in 1987.
The movie was directed by Walter Hill; it was written by John Milius, Fred Rexer and Deric Washburn. (The latter collaborated with Michael Cimino on Silent Running and The Deer Hunter.) Extreme Prejudice stars Nick Nolte and Powers Boothe as two former friends on opposing sides of the law forced to confrontation. The film is an homage, of sorts, to The Wild Bunch, a western directed by Sam Peckinpah and with whom Hill worked on the The Getaway (1972 film). Both films end with a massive gun fight in a Mexican town.
The title originates from "terminate with extreme prejudice", a phrase popularized by the 1979 film Apocalypse Now, also written by John Milius.
