this is one of best western i ever seen ....took my first date to this movie when it opened at eric theatre mcdade mall in holmes /glenolden pa ,,,the soundtrack is also great ,,,probobly seen it 10 times since then ,,,and will see it more too !!!
@joeyabz66 You should find "Butch Cassidy My Brother" Lula Parker Betenson. There's a National Geographic with good info......I collect things Mormon. Butch is one of the rare fun stories. but still has tragedy. ... Modelo in a can sucks but Tecate is the worst.
one of the best movies ever made, westerns or otherwise.. I went to the ghost town grafton, ut. many times when i was a kid/teenager before i saw this movie.. and i immediately recognized the town in the bicycle scene in this movie.. grafton is an erie magical place and this movie is magical as well
made me laugh everytime the director said "fu*k" cos usually they dont show all that in behind the scenes but all directors say it or think it. Last bit is legend "if it doesnt get well recived ill go out my fu*king mind" lol
Unbelievable that at 32:52 they talk about using tripwires on horses, which he admits is illegal in the states. I guess because I sometimes work on 'behind the scenes' content, and the studio legal departments have absolute aneurysms over anything even remotely inappropriate, it's amazing that this remains in the piece. Thanks so much for the post on this. Great to hear comments for the late George Roy Hill.
I seem to recall another making of in which Bacharach, Newman, Redford and Ross also speak. I think that became available in a more recent release of the video. Does anyone know where to find it -- maybe on youtube?
During the take for the first shot at the restaurant, where they bolt from the table, I would have to say, "can we see a rehersal of it?", and the 1st AD would say, "you mean with the bullet hits and everything?"
Well yeah, that's what's happening in the movie, right?
The Director would then bark, "We ARE rehearsing it, shut up..."
I had imagined how the crew had to shoot the "rescuing the ammo packs" from the horse sequence near the film's climax. They had a roof angle, horse's POV during the short trotting, and both sides of the horse- from the police shooting angle and from the audience's POV. That must have taken a week to shoot at least...they'd need banks of lights on each side for fill so that you'd not see just a sillouette of a horse moving.
I've watched a bunch of modern making of's but recently I saw this one and there is something different and more compelling about it compared to the usual DVD making of. I don't know if its the fact that the director is doing voice over himself, and that its shot more like a documentary. There is also a lack of direct interviews, all you have is the voice over to guide you through it and its somehow more effective than modern making of's. You really get a sense of being on set more.
I'm completely serious but I have jumped in to the same place where they jump into the river. That is near Baker Bridge on the Animas River near Durango, Colorado where I grew up.
about fourty feet... but it's totally possible to jump it when theres enough water.. Redford and Newman didn't finish the jump in Durango because there wasn't enough water to ensure safety. it was the biggest rush in my life... and alot of people do it as a rite of passage here
i have fond memories of my mother taking my sister and me to the movies to see this incredible film . . .listening to "rain drops . ." takes me right back to my childhood and floods of nostalgia!!
i do recall....enjoying this terrific movie, at a theatre ha, quite fantastic, just before, omg, yea, then I saw the exorcist, shit, crappy time to be akid
Genius !!
