I was 13 in '69 and thoroughly obsessed with this film. Having four younger Brothers and numerous friends we'd stage the shootout in our backyard using the clothesline with tarps draped over it and various outbuildings for cover. We all had those red-plastic cap repeaters and had to stop and reload often. High drama for a bunch of prepubescent young 'uns. 'Body' counts would range into double digits by the time we'd shot-up our cap budget for the week.

Its not as great movie as it could have been. However, Redford is really great and the premise is very sad, time passing you by. However, it has too much humour and so lost a chance for real greatness.
"Think ya used enough dynamite there Butch?" Back when a simple story and 2 great actors who played so perfectly off one another was all it took to make an outstanding film! They "are" and "always will be" Butch and Sundance. We will miss you Mr. Newman, the world is truely a better place because of you. Thanks Paul.. just Thanks!
i love this final scene it always makes me cry because they know they cant make it out alive but they are already taking about planning another robbery in australia while they are pinned down in bolivia they both go out like legends in a blaze of glory
This was Redford's breakthrough role. He is at the height of his looks here. I rewatched it recently and it hasn't really held up all that well in my opinion. However there is a chemistry between Butch and Sundance that still shines.
Thanks much, gray2603. I knew it was BB, but didn't know the name of that particular tune at all. Was really wondering if it existed here on YouTube or online sans the over-dialog. (I'll get the soundtrack eventually for sure, but til then I'd just really enjoy hearing that specific tune -- over and over again)!
@devastador The 1960s-70's were still a time before movies became obseesed with special effects. They had to have an actually good creative story. Now, even the James Bond movies have become junk. Our society had not lost so much restraint yet.
@evamarlow The film is not truly a western. It is an outlaw film based on folk lore characters, like Bonnie and Clyde--it's just set in the western time period. In true westerns, the heroes are good guys who hold their ground in the town they are in. In Butch Cassidy, the heroes are outlaws who are always on the run.
The sound track from this movie is one of my favorite. Thank you for using it with these great clips from one of the all time best movies. Is this a Burt Bacharach sound track? If so, do you know where I can buy it????
This music interlude dates this great film...I hate it.

At 3:13 - call me crazy, but this hill looks like the exact shot from Back to the Future III when Marty is chased from the bear.

Como bien dices, Devas, "la imagen de (yo agregaría, de toda ) una generación con la música de Burt Bacharach"!!!
Bellos recuerdos de 1970 y el cine Hollywood Insurgentes que entonces estaba nuevecito!
El "soundtrack" es sin duda, formidable!!!
Muchas gracias por subirlo!!!
Va un saludo cordial de otra defeña que solía ir mucho al buen cine!

Nice cheery Burt music to add to the final scene where Butch and Sundance get shot up and are going to bite the dust.
Shoulda played "Knocking on Heaven's Door" instead.
Are you George Roy Hill?
No, didn't think so.

I've always loved that background choral music since I first saw this in film school. Is it anywhere else in its entirety?
Slohci 3 years ago
The music is called The South American Getaway and its by Burt Bacharach and can be found on a couple of his albums or evev the soundtrack album.

The music is strange because the 70´s was a very unusual and special time.
Thanks for the comments.

Burt Bacharach wrote this song as well as Raindrops.

Yeah, I could listen to "South American Getaway" everyday. I love vocal jazz choir songs.
Mr. Bacharach has composed many many memorable songs. =)
