Are they just ignoring the fact that Cassidy died?

oh one of those...



"It's for the pain. Rarely touch the stuff...Can I have another?"

Actuually, since it was never conclusively proved that those outlaws were Butch and Sundance it's a lot less ridiculous than Young Guns II. There was far more evidence for Billy the Kid's death than there ever was for Butch and Sundance. The basic evidence is that they never showed up again. But then again they were in hiding. That was the whole point of hiding, to not show up again. Unlike Billy who quite clearly wouldn't stop making trouble until he died.

FABRICATE DIEM, PVNC

i rented it off of amazon. it is a good movie. they do address it but you might not like what i have to tell you.

SPOILERS AHEAD........... he was shot twice in this, and still survived, the 2nd time being in the middle of a desert. Now ain't that some sh-t.

Original? This is not a sequel to anything. It is a standalone film. It is based on the real life Butch Cassidy, who supposedly died in Bolivia 20 years before the start of the movie. But they address that well, I think.

>> Many people get shot and survive.

Especially in the movies. They get shot and die, and get up again, and get shot again, and again sometimes! ;-)

Also keep in mind "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" dipicted the Bolivia "showdown" pretty inaccurately. There was no army there just local police. Also from what i've read the standoff lasted into the next morning. Who's really to say Butch...if it really was him didn't manage to escape. All we have is the Bolivian account of the event.

I am the Lizard King...i can do anything.

Yes, and John Wilkes Booth and John Dillinger.
Unfortunately, the sources of history are memory and hearsay. And who sourced the "truth" about their deaths?

What I had in mind was boxing the compass.

What spoilers did the OP reveal? It amazes me when i see posts like this. Why do people read forum boards about movies they haven't seen if they care about spoilers? Does it upset you when you see trailers for movies that you haven't seen also?

A "spoiler" for something that happened in 1908? He's talking about actual history, not the plot of the film.

Butch Cassidy is an uncle somewhere along the line, and I'm intrigued by his stories as much as anyone. His sister Lula Betenson claims he died somewhere in the Northwest in 1937. When word got around about her alleged meeting with Butch in 1925, numerous letters were supposedly written to her by people who had seen and/or worked with her brother. But where are these letters? Nobody ever laid eyes on them.

In addition, she claims that a Bolivian by the name of Percy Seibert falsely identified the bodies as Butch and Sundance, in order to repay a debt owed to Butch for saving he and his wife's life on a previous occasion. He allegedly was a friend of the two outlaws.

As far as smfilm's comment about the Bolivian cemetery, I don't know that anything has been conclusively proved. Teams of scientists have tested some of the bodies exhumed from the cemetery, but the problem lies in the fact they don't know how many bodies are actually in the cemetery, because it has been said that the majority of the graves are unmarked.

He is rumored to be buried in Oregon, Wyoming, California, Utah, and Bolivia. In fact, I just visited his supposed grave in the avenues of Salt Lake City, but there is zero evidence to backup that long-standing rumor.

I'd like to think he returned to Wyoming to live out his years, but my guess is that he died in Bolivia as reported. I doubt we will ever know for sure.
