So Rockstar must have pulled a ton of inspo from this when they made the Red Dead games. 😅 I think it's clear how I'll feel about this movie. I hope you enjoy the reaction! I'm looking forward to your comments. 🥰

I'm going to sleep so this will have to wait until tomorrow, but: same screenwriter as The Princess Bride, William Goldman (also the author of the source novel The Princess Bride). Generally considered one of the greatest screenwriters who ever lived.

You must watch "The Sting" if you haven't already with Redford and Newman. It won seven Oscars, including best picture, with a nomination for Redford for Best Actor. It also stars Robert Shaw from "Jaws". On a side note, the freeze frame ending in the "Severance" season 2 finale looks like it could be an homage to the end of "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" in my opinion, at least that's what came to my mind as soon as I saw it.

Thanks for the recommendation! And you're right, that freeze-frame ending was fun and does feel like this!

Since he already mentioned that Newman and Redford are in The Sting, I will also add that it is a reunion for all of them, with George Roy Hill also returning as director. Redford and Newman had always hoped to make a third film together, with the book A Walk in the Woods first being optioned in 1998 for that purpose, but Newman retired and then ultimately passed away in 2008 before they could make it. The film was eventually made and released in 2015.

"Think ya used enough dynamite there, Butch?"

One of my favourite movies, on one of my favourite reaction channels. Life is sweet.

I haven't looked it up but the two guys who ride away in the end of the little film during the opening credits are not Redford and Newman, so I assume that film clip is either an authentic or imitation of a silent film about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. You would've seen a much older Paul Newman as the scheming second-in-command Sidney J. Mussberger in the Coen Brothers' Hudsucker Proxy. You also would have seen Katherine Ross as Dr. Lillian Thurman, psychiatrist to Jake Gyllenhaal in Donnie Darko (2001). Fun fact, she's also been married to Sam Elliott (who apparently has a tiny part in this movie, although I never caught him) since 1984. Lastly, I was curious if you'd recognize Kenneth Mars as the marshal unsuccessfully trying to rouse the townspeople to action. You'd know him as the insufferable plagiarist Hugh Simon, competitor for the Larrabee Grant in What's Up, Doc?. Glancing at your Letterboxd, I see you have the Austin Powers movies logged. I don't remember if he's in all three of them but famous musician and composer of this film, Burt Bacharach, makes cameos in at least the first two. Here's the scene from the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM9nA8OQIPc "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" was written by Bacharach for this movie. Cinematographer Conrad Hall is generally considered one of the greatest to ever do it. Butch Cassidy won him his first Oscar, and then he wouldn't win again until 1999's American Beauty. He capped his hat trick in 2002, shortly before his death, with Road to Perdition. In the film, Butch and Sundance's lawman nemesis LeFors is identified by his white straw hat. Kevin Smith borrowed the name (although he changed it to LaFours) and the hat when writing the security guard chasing Jay and Silent Bob in Mallrats. One thing that may not have been totally clear: when Butch and Sundance rob trains, they use explosives, not guns, even though Sundance is good with them. So it's honestly not so surprising when Butch reveals in Bolivia that he's never shot anyone. The deaths of the Bolivian bandits is portrayed as particularly intense; I think it's likely that Sundance, while good with a gun and happy to shoot in his own defense, isn't much of a killer either. The film ended up winning four Oscars: Goldman won for his screenplay, Bacharach won for the score and "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head," and Hall won for his cinematography. Here's to more Westerns in the future. Still crossing my fingers for True Grit (2010)...

Such a charismatic duo (and trio).
