up his leading lady in the fifth episode of the first season of Saturday Night Live. Peckinpah's use of violence was parodied by Monty Python in Sam Peckinpah's "Salad Days", in which a lovely day out for an upper-class English family turns into a blood-soaked orgy of severed limbs and gushing wounds. Peckinpah reportedly liked the sketch and enjoyed showing it to friends and family. Peckinpah's penchant for filming action scenes in slow motion was satirized by UK comedian Benny Hill, playing a milkman in a Western skit called "The Deputy" that first aired on his March 29, 1973, special. In one scene, Hill's titular character shoots one of the villains (Bob Todd), who then proceeds to pirouette in extremely slow motion before collapsing. In the 1973 Sergio Leone/Tonino Valerii Spaghetti Western, My Name is Nobody, the characters Jack Beauregard (Henry Fonda) and "Nobody" (Terence Hill) meet at a cemetery. Nobody walks past the tombstones reading the names and comes across one labeled "Sam Peckimpah". He says "Sam Peckimpah. That's a beautiful name in Navajo." Leone named the gang in the film 'The Wild Bunch'. Various Peckinpah films are parodied in Jim Reardon's student film Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown. In the John Waters film Cecil B. Demented (2000), several characters have the names of legendary film directors tattooed on their bodies. One of the characters has "Sam Peckinpah" tattooed on his arm. Kris Kristofferson recorded "Sam's Song (Ask Any Working Girl)", a brief tribute to the director, for his 1995 release A Moment of Forever.
