 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid
Joe LaForce. They recognize LaForce (sometimes spelled LaFors or LeFors) because he always wears a white straw hat.
Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head. The song won an Oscar for Burt Bacharach and Hal David, who wrote the lyrics. Bacharach also won for Original Score.
Bolivia. They learn enough Spanish so they can rob a bank there.
Etta Place. In real life her name is something of a mystery. I think Sundance's mother's maiden name was Place.
Prayer. His unexpected answer sets a comedic tone in the movie.
Harvey Logan. Logan challenges Butch with this question: 'Guns or knives, Butch?'
Newman and Redford. Steve McQueen was considered for the role as Butch, with Newman playing Sundance. But McQueen dropped out, Paul took the role of Butch, and brought on Redford to play Sundance.
Union Pacific. Butch preferred to rob banks rather than trains, because -- 'Banks don't move.'
Hole-in-the-Wall. The real life gang was named 'The Wild Bunch'. A movie by that name was made starring William Holden and Ernest Borgnine.
Butch Cassidy. For me the movie was filled with memorable dialogue.
'I can't swim.'. I enjoyed the subtle humor or comedy throughout the film.
'The Sting'. Personally, for me, 'The Sting' never captured the same on-screen chemistry as B and S did. The writing and the dialogue was not equal.
Strother Martin. Strother Martin also played in another Newman film, 'Cool Hand Luke'. He spoke the line, 'What we have here is a failure to communicate.'

| Wounded and trapped in a building, Butch and Sundance prepared to make a run for it, not knowing that what appeared to be a whole company of Bolivian soldiers had set up on rooftops overlooking the building in which they took cover. What was Butch's great idea of where they should go next? | Butch and Sundance's Excellent Adventure
|
Australia. Butch told Sundance the banks, and the women, were easy in Australia. And they spoke English, too. They emerged shooting, to be met by a hail of gunfire from the soldiers.
They were recognized by the brand on a mule they had stolen.. A young boy saw the brand on a mule Butch and Sundance took when they robbed a payroll mule train and told the Captain of the local police.
| After thinking he saw Joe Lefors in a Bolivian town, Butch decided again that they should go straight. They applied for jobs at a mine, owned by Percy Garris, an inveterate tobacco chewer. When Garris spit tobacco and it landed where he wanted, what did he say? | Butch and Sundance's Excellent Adventure
|
"Bingo!". Garris called himself "colorful", saying after you lived alone in Bolivia for ten years you got colorful. Bolivian bandits shot him a second later.
Bandidos Yanquis. To make sure everybody looked for the right Yankee bandits, the posters had "Bandidos de los Estados Unidos" printed underneath.
a specialized vocabulary. Etta was a former schoolteacher and put them through some language drills. Butch still needed a cheat sheet for the bank robbing commands.
| Butch convinced Sundance to move to Bolivia, taking Sundance's girlfriend, Etta Place, with them. As they got off a train in a remote village, what place did Sundance say it might be compared to? | Butch and Sundance's Excellent Adventure

Atlantic City, New Jersey. Sundance thought the desolate little village might be the garden spot of Bolivia, the Atlantic City of the country.

Clare, Pennsylvania.
join the army. According to Butch: "They don't even have to make us officers!" The sheriff told them the hard facts of life. "It's over. Don't you get that? Your times is over, and you're gonna die bloody, and all you can do is choose where."

Lord Baltimore. Lord Baltimore was a real scout and tracker for the U.S. Army, but there is no evidence that he ever tracked Butch and Sundance. In the film, he was said to usually stay in Oklahoma, the implication being that the Union Pacific owner wanted these outlaws so badly that money was no object in obtaining the people to find and kill them.
| The Hole in the Wall Gang, led by Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman), had robbed Union Pacific Railroad trains several times. While they were robbing the "Flyer" one more time, a second train approached and a mounted posse leapt from a box car and started chasing the gang.
