The Untold History of The Highwaymen | Netflix

What was inaccurate?

[@sukritaggarwal6518]

Plen122 The version of events showed in 1967 film!

[@shooterqqqq]

@Rusty Shackleford While the car was stopped, Oakley shot Barrow in the head. Clyde's foot fell off the clutch and the car slowly moved forward. In earlier incidences, Barrow and Parker were given multiple chances to surrender but the earlier weapons by the officers couldn't penetrate the automobile's thick metal.

[@lamborghinihoverboard337]

[@tommy1138]

Great movie! Better than most theatrical releases I've seen in the past year. I like how Bonnie & Clyde were barely shown in the movie and they were referenced as the true murderers that they were. Stellar cast and a great period accurate production. More movies like this please!

[@kennethfharkin]

That was a great move on the part of the film makers. It was mentioned several times how lawmen would hesitate based on how young and innocent they looked only to be murdered. More than once you had it stated or shown how young/small they were, most prominently when the rangers found their clothes. When you finally see their faces the audience has the same shock as all the lawmen they had killed before; "they are just kids." Great piece of film making.

[@kbanghart]

Honestly though, by the end I still didn't hate B&C.

Netflix, please make more movies like this please! Loved how it did not glorify the bad guy.

[@Squarehead45]

Good luck with that,,remember who they just hired to the Board and that they gave AOC $10mil for a book that makes as much sense as HER, a bartender, being in OUR congress.

[@TralfazConstruction]

True. They barely showed the pair outside of context. When the Warner Bros. movie premiered in the late-'60s my great grand mother and my maternal grandparents were firm in their criticism for how the film glorified the Depression-era bandits as it'd only been thirty-three years since they were hunted down.

[@kbanghart]

@@Squarehead45 In my opinion, she is awesome. A much better choice than, for example Trump.

[@kbanghart]

I think they did this movie that way in order to let the audience draw their own conclusions. This is how the public would have seen them back then as well, without any media other than the newspaper, and occasional radio broadcasts.

[@Jackholiday1025]

Do you think movies where the bad guy is the main character is glorifying?

[@cattysplat]

Loved the depiction of the 30's, they got the look down great from the cars, storefronts and poor neighbourhoods, could tell they had very high production values and a load of extras to make everywhere look busy and real, with the performance of Woody Harrelson and Kevin Costner being exceptional without being over dramatic. Definitely want more high quality movies like this from Netflix.

[@jhensley71]

Great movie! Watched it this past weekend. Interesting to see the law enforcement side of the story, and how they viewed Bonnie and Clyde compared to the civilian public.

[@michaelhammond7980]

I haven't watched the movie, just saw these little short takes. But, they don't appear to be historically accurate. They took Henry Methvin out of the car in the scene with the motorcycle cops. They portray Frank Hammer as nice and morally righteous man not the sadistic "shoot and ask questions later" man he was. He killed way more people than Clyde Barrow as a judge, jury & executioner. Bonnie & Clyde weren't big time bank robbers. They robbed Piggly Wiggly grocery stores, gas stations and an occasional bank. Their largest haul was only a couple thousand dollars. They weren't nationally know until the bushwhacking by Frank Hammer & crew.

[@wmsbike]

Michael Hammond grow up and do something.

[@shooterqqqq]

@@michaelhammond7980 Just after the Sweetwater ambush, one of the brothers leveled off at the running ambusher and Frank Hamer stopped him from shooting the retreating man. That was Frank Hamer. Not a executioner. The reason the false scene is in the movie is because that is what was known at the time. That Clyde and Bonnie gunned down two police officers and Bonnie shot the still breathing officer in the face and laughed about it. Later in history, we know that is probably not true.

[@meitis8963]

[@johngrauman4208]

Law enforcement overhyped crimes and accused certain people of crimes they didn't commit to sensationalize their capture. It was a common tactic the FBI blatantly used under Hoover

Mr. Hancock did a simply outstanding job directing this Texas Tale of Law and Order. Every item was period correct and the Truest Report that has ever been shown. Bravo, Well Done, Carry On!

[@montieluckett7036]

You know, the worst part about the mayhem and slaughter perpetrated by Bonnie and Clyde was that they never were all that big of a deal. They really never made much more than eating money and getaway money. They weren't much more than two-bit spree killers romanticized by the press for just carrying on for an incredible length of time without getting caught . The Depression Era had as much to do with their infamy as anything else.

[@BradBrassman]

Yes, John Dillinger is said to have called them "amateurs".

[@ridgerunner5772]

[@scoopmanjuke]

Yes that maybe true but they were darn good at it.

[@Publicenemy85]

Yeah most members of the gang did admit that it was far from glorious. They were always short on money, they were always nursing injuries and most of the time all they did was split up, get to rendez vous point, plan a job which ALWAYS ended up in disappointment as there was less money than they thought (it was the depression after all), split, reunite, plan a robbery, not enough cash rinse and repeat.

[@jelongva]

One of the best pieces of story telling film I've watched and two excellent actors at work.

[@johnfrank6112]

Incredible, just incredible. Google map the original ambush site and compare it to the site used in the movie, particularly the long screen shot of how the road twisted leading up to the ambush site. No wonder Speilberg didn't want Netflix shows at the Oscars.

[@johnfrank6112]

@Racespec I watched an interview, with Costner and Harrelson, where Costner had suggested, that they had filmed at the actual site but I don't see how that's possible. In 1934, the ambush road would have been gravel and that's what the ambush scene depicts. The movie was filmed , in 2018, and, in the 2019 Google Maps view, the ambush road is now clearly paved with asphalt and the brush has been cut back to allow right of way clearance for the power poles. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3u6gH-gmbCXfc0 At the 59 second mark, you get a real good look at the road. That road is gravel and the brush line is next to the road and no power poles. I would bet that that filming location is actually a service road inside of a timber growing tract of land.

[@kennethfharkin]

@@JohnMcCrimmon-bc4ei You cannot judge the behavior of men in their time based on the morality of your own. Don't be an asshole. If you have such big problems with America then feel free to leave as is your right because of the men who founded this nation.

[@kennethfharkin]

That behavior is no different than today. The Boston Marathon Bomber had women sending him proposals in jail as did the Menendez brothers. There is an aspect of humanity which is attracted to young dangerous people, making them out to be stars. It is not right, but it happens. The issue gets even worse when some members of the media portray them as Robin Hood type criminals, stealing from the banks which were foreclosing on properties and giving to the poor. The movie did a great job of showing this repulsive attraction and then countering it. Ma telling the press that they had "killed a gas station attendant for $4", Hammer relating how they had executed lawmen leaving his family to go hungry and homeless to the gas station attendant who wouldn't talk. If you look back you will find this behavior throughout human history.

[@blastedcontroller]

@@kennethfharkin truly a detail reply and I know what you saying I have read books about them and I m really happy that this movie came out in the time people now can know before reading about Bonnie and Clyde they would know they were no rock stars they were just heartless killer and still to this day Bonnie is consider to just be in love and victim of circumstances which she wasnt well not in my mind

[@kurtvonfricken6829]

Kenneth Harkin I couldn't agree more. Racism and exploitation was just the way it was back then. You can't hold people from hundreds of years ago to our standards it is pure folly. All of our ancestors were probably bad people by today's standards.

Why were they glamorous in the first place???They were killers right???? Or was it that the people thought that the COPS!! were the killers???? Alot of holes in this story!!!! Hard to tell who the GOOD guys were. Maybe the people knew all along. And that made Bonnie and Clyde glamorous. Hamer could have brought them in alive. He chose not to,and killed them with overkill. Maybe because it was Hamer that killed the patrol officers and he couldn't alow bonnie or clyde to talk!!!!

[@kurtvonfricken6829]

Eugene Schulte You don't know your history. Clyde was raped in prison and was never going back. He wasn't going to be taken alive.

@@eugeneschulte4950 As much as I hate to use this example... in current times, the Kardashians are famous folks, right? The masses have always been generally sheeple.

[@Cha-y412]

Yes he did. Then Clyde shortened the stock and sawed down the barrel, to suit his size and needs. Barrow knew two things: The Ford V-8 was superior to any mass produced automobiles of the time AND The Browning Automatic Rifle had much more power and accuracy then the Thompson Sub machine gun.

Was that a Colt Monitor firing at the No Trespassing sign?

Yes but a BAR was used by Ted HInton at the ambush site.

Visually, the Monitors differ from the Browning Automatic Rifle with its use of a pistol grip, different compensator and different handguard. Internally, the Monitors are identical to the standard BAR.
