Butch's (Paul) laugh when he finds out that Kid can't swim.


Isn't it so funny and cute? It's my favorite scene and Paul is so sweet when he is laughing..

The stunt men who actually jumped off the cliff were smart. One of.them checked before the leap. Spring floods had shifted a rock into the landing spot. If they jumped without checking, they would have been injured or killed. The.stunt safety team shifted the boulder aside and they made the jump safely. Two lives saved.





Great white sharks are attracted to death metal music.

Wow, imagine that - stuntmen who are going to jump a long distance actually checking the landing site. (Rolling eyes.)

I dunno.

This is probably my favourite film of all time (and I don't say that lightly), and the two main performances are terrific. But that one moment, of the laugh,seems slightly forced to me. I love the scene and the film to bits, but that laugh?

I'm only saying as, when I read the thread title, I thought that might be what you were saying yourself.

But maybe its just for me.

The screenwriter William Goldman deserves credit for so much of what make Butch Cassidy... as enjoyable as it is.
