I'd love to see the scene in normal speed and without your commentary.

Ever think about the similarity between Clu Gulager's voice and Kris Kristofferson's? Me neither until exactly this moment. I'm betting that it had occurred, though, to Peckinpah, who worked in television westerns during the time of "The Tall Man," the 1960 series about Garrett and Bonney with Gulager as Billy the Kid. I always enjoyed Gulager's rendition the most and would like to see it again. And I'd love to behold Wallace Beery as Pat Garrett in the 1930 version of "Billy the Kid."

unfortunently, its very difficult to understand what you say since there is the audio track you have running in the background is too loud.

such a wonderful film and your commentary is quite reflective and I think you capture it..

[zackepple]

you can tell by L.Q. Jones' last line that this is the 1988 preview version.

where can you see the long edit?

"There's no need for clarification or elucidation .." You said it.

Would the cynic in me make me think the end scene was contrived to allow Dylan's famous song in somewhere? I saw the movie years ago and thought that then too.

Thanks for your perceptive comments! Truly one of Peckinpah's finest moments ~ though I prefer the long edit where Slim wades into the river and drifts away like the boat he'd been building...

peckinpah sucked!!!!!

he was a drunken weirdo and he barely did anything in this movie except stink up the set with vodka
