Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

The amount of straw that hits 'Butch Cassidy (II)' (qv) while he is riding the bicycle.

In the opening sequence when Sundance shoots the gun belt off the card player, the film was cut to make the quick draw appear faster.

You can see 'Butch Cassidy (II)' (qv)'s image jump across the screen in the background.

The "foot pegs" through the front axle of the bicycle that Etta uses disappear during 'Butch Cassidy (II)' (qv)'s stunt performance and reappear afterwards.

In the final shootout in San Vicente, there are trees all around the town and one in the plaza.

The real San Vicente, Bolivia is at 4800 meters altitude (over 15,000 ft.

), so is well above the tree line.

During the climactic gun battle, Sundance fires his two six-guns at least 16 times without reloading.

Obviously the guns would have to be reloaded after only 12 shots.

When they're eating at Etta's house, before and after 'Butch Cassidy (II)' (qv) shouts, "You probably inherited every penny you got!" you can see Butch's shadow on the set.

While the second train robbery is taking place, the Pinkertons arrive on the special train.

The shot of the special train engine coming to a stop right in front of the camera was obviously filmed with the engine starting close to the camera and backing up, then the shot was run in reverse.

Notice the steam is returning to the engine instead of coming out of it.

All the "Bolivian" people have Mexican accents.

At the climactic shootout, the shoulder insignia of the Bolivian army officers are wronginstead of stripes, the shoulder boards should have six-pointed stars.

After Percy Garris is shot, he is seen lying with a branch across his face.

In the next scene, the branch is gone.

Percy Garris uses the phrase "Bingo" emphasize a point.

"Beano" didn't reach North America until 1929.

By the time it was renamed Bingo and made its way to South America it would have been well into the 1930s at least.

- PLOTAfter binding and gagging their sheriff friend, 'Butch Cassidy (II)' (qv) and Sundance Kid don't bother to take any rifles (which they had complained about not having) nor any fresh horses.

They ride off double on the same tired mount they rode in on.

When Sundance jumps onto the train near the beginning of the film, and makes his way towards the locomotive, it is obvious that a stunt double jumps into the coal car and 'Robert Redford (I)' (qv) emerges - not enough time elapses from the point at which the double disappears behind the coal until the point that Redford rises up from the coal at a different position.

In the river, Butch says to Sundance, "You're choking me! You're choking me!" although they're apart at this point.

The Sundance Kid claims to have been born in New Jersey.

The real Sundance Kid was born in born in Mont Clare, Pennsylvania, although his family did move to Atlantic City at some point.

The locomotives on the trains are class K-28s, which were not produced until 1923, for exclusive use by the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad on their narrow gauge track in Colorado and New Mexico.

(SOURCEModel Railroader Cyclopedia Volume 1Steam Locomotives, p.

) The climactic gun battle at the end of the movie was historically inaccurate.

There were only a few uniformed police officers/officials present during the shootout (the rural town of San Vicente in southern Bolivia, where 'Butch Cassidy (II)' (qv) and Sundance Kid were supposedly killed, was a very small place back in November 1908, and didn't have many police officers).

Plus, there were only three Bolivian soldiers who actually took part in the fight alongside the local police, not the hundreds shown in the film.

In addition, the casualty count among the Bolivian policemen was nowhere near as enormous as shown (only one soldier and one police official were actually killed, plus another soldier and an unknown number of policemen and some local posse members were wounded), and most of the gun battle took place in the evening and at night, not in broad daylight as shown in the movie.

These were the main reasons why the Bolivian government at first banned the film from being shown in that country.

When Percy is lying dead he is breathing and his eyes flutter several times.

When Etta lights the lamp on the table in her cabin, light fills the room, however the shadow of the fixture on the wall behind her is parallel to the floor, not angled upward as it would be if the light source was really the lamp on the table.

Few films,I would say, are as well made as Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid I might even dare to say it's one of the ten best films ever made and the best western of all time.Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman) along with his partner The Sundance Kid (Robert Redford) and his Hole In The Wall Gang, are the rulers of Wymoning and much of the west....

Newman and Redford are two giant names in film, they came together and made one of the most popular western. They took two stars added some historical accuracy and some solid cinematography and made a all around clean and entertaining film.

This is definitely a classic and must see movie. The story of Butch and Sundance is filled with thrilling action, romance, loyalty and the life of outlaws.

I waited so long to see this...why?

Contained within the running time of George Roy Hill's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is one of the greatest classic moments in the Western movie genre. The two titular characters (Paul Newman and Robert Redford) are trapped between a sheer drop into a river and a 'super-posse' of the best trackers, sharpshooters, and lawmen money can hire.

This is very different.In your stereotypical Western,the hero or heroes almost never run from a fight.

Paul Newman & Robert Redford play Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid in director George Roy Hill's take on the historical pair of western outlaws who amiably(!) rob banks and trains with their hole-in-the-wall-gang, who soon find themselves wanted men who must flee across the west, taking refuge where they can, and especially with their lady friend Etta Place(Katherine Ross) before they make that fateful trip to Bolivia...

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid are best friends and always searching for fortune. They always find a solution and a way to outrun their opponents.

Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid is a 1969 western directed by George Roy and starring Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Katharine Ross. This is probably one of the most famous films of the genre in fact it's one of the highest grossing westerns of all time and it's easy to see why as it's one of the most entertaining films I have ever seen.
