Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid (Final Scene)

A recut of the final scene.
(For academic purposes)

[@butchie3025]

The fact that we were all rooting for two murdering thieves to escape is a testament to the spectacular, legendary performances by Newman and Redford and the amazing writing.

[@peterzang]

Charm and charisma off the charts

[@darbyheavey406]

Two individuals fighting the repressive state.

[@grantgarrod2232]

Butch & Sundance were thieves, yes, but murderers, no. There's no evidence that Butch Cassidy ever killed anyone, & Sundance is known to have killed only one man, a police officer, in a shootout in Chile in 1905. The duo were likely the most non-violent men of the whole Wild Bunch.

The classic definition of "overkill".

[@connorblake7487]

The second they land that fall 1:23, they knew it was over. All their levity and banter after the fact is refusal to give into the authorities and beg. unwilling to take the danger seriously is their final act of defiance against authority. Even certain death won't change them. They'd rather die as they lived; in a blaze, not a flicker.

[@bobbydazzler8684]

Clinging on the past and not bending to change is the theme of the film, but it's strange to me that you see anything honorable in the portrayal of their death. It's nothing like the real incident and ultimately they're thieves and killers - no matter how appealing Newman and Redford make them.

You'd have to give the director, George Roy Hill a good bit of the credit too. 33.33% amongst Hill, Newman and Redford and then, of course, the crew and screenwriter William Goldman. I'm not knocking your observations in any way rather I feel it's to give credit where credit is due.

You do understand this is a film and not reality, right? Parker and Longabaugh died inside the cantina, shot to pieces, and it is believed Parker shot Longabaugh in the head to relieve his suffering from his wounds and then put one in his own brain. Thieves and robbers glamourised by Hollywood are not the measure of historical truth.

[@22espec]

They died in Bolivia

[@zhehaosaw5666]

[@gregthomson7889]

One of my favorite movies.I knew Donnelly Rhodes {from Vancouver)that was in the film.He said the cast talked about that many people don't think Butch and Sundance died this way.But this way was more glamorous .

[@mikeberg5003]

There's been rumours since the movie came out that they never died in Bolivia. I don't believe them and this is a good documentary about it. It's very possible Butch put the Kid out of his misery and then killed himself in that hut. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2nIiqKVea-Bhrssi=3g5ednbeS3Hj83By

[@gregthomson7889]

@@mikeberg5003 Never thought of that it's possible I just don't think the ending in the movie is true.There are other rumors that one of them died much later of an std but that doesn't make for a good movie ending.But someone claims as a child being introduced in Oregon by his father as his friend and it was one of them.I'm curious what their age gap was as Newman and Redford had an age gap I think Newman was 10 years older or more.It would be ironic if Sundance lived much longer just as Redford is.

[@danchamness6813]

If this was today, they would somehow say that Butch and Sundance made it. They would do it simply do it to make more money and they would squeeze every dollar out of it they possibly could. Some movies are best left with one installment. They remain classics, plain and simple.

[@malafakka8530]

They did sweeten the endings already before this movie. That's nothing new. They knew that more positive endings sold more tickets on average. Sometimes because of the money. Sometimes because some code or law demanded it. An example for the latter would be The Lost Weekend.

[@erickthefantabulous1]

Hollywood is boring now with actors that don't match the charisma of these guys.

[@malbourne805]

They went out in a blaze of glory. They knew this was endgame for both of them, but went out with a bang. Four years later, Redford and Newman would reunite in THE STING, and in-universe, Butch Cassidy and Sundance would be reincarnated as a pair of 1930's hustlers in Joliet, Illinois. Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross got married 15 years after this film came out, and as of this writing (July 29, 2024), they're still together.

[@ghostintheshadowofthecity5702]

Breaks my heart that two generations are pretty much unfamiliar with a movie that was a staple of my childhood. Please, rent or buy it, and play it for anyone who hasn't seen it.

I remember a drunk man in a pub trying to convince me that Butch and Sundance could have fought it out and survived. Said he’d counted the soldiers and he reckoned that they could have shot them all in two reloaded of their six-shooters. His scheme also involved them capturing and using the fallen soldiers rifles. Suffice to say he was confident the boys would live to fight another day. Ah drunk people 😂😂😂

the only thing I hate about this great movie...that sequence where Paul Newman's stunt double rides between the ponies, is good to a point, but the style of trip wire they use to bring the horses down is illegal in the USA as it is considered too dangerous for the horse, this being shot in Mexico circumvents that issue, but it is still a USA movie, the way the white horse is tripped and goes right over on its head could easily break the animals neck, it looks horrible in the uncut scene , in this clip believe me the scene has been trimmed down quite a bit just to show the end of the fall as the horse hits the ground. The horses were mistreated in this sequence, no doubt about that, which is the only disappointing aspect of this movie.
