Synopsis One of the most popular screen westerns ever made, this Academy Award winning classic blends adventure, romance and comedy to tell the true story of the West's most likeable outlaws. No one is quicker than Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman) when it comes to get rich quick schemes, and his sidekick Sundance (Robert Redford) is a wizard with a gun. When these two bungling bank and train robbers tire of running from the law, they set out for Bolivia with Sundance's girlfriend (Katharine Ross). Though they can barely speak enough Spanish to communicate 'This is a stick-up', that's only a minor detail to the two nicest "bad-guys" who ever rode the West.

Empire Review A rooting tootin western! - 4.25 out of 5  (5/16/2000) Twentieth Century Fox has once again proven that they are fast becoming the masters of the Special Edition. Hot on the heels of "The Abyss" comes this remastered release of "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." The film is treated with the utmost respect and it is given a gorgeous 2.35:1 widescreen anamorphic transfer with a Dolby digital 5.1 mono soundtrack. The film also has several special features including a 45-minute documentary, which is almost as interesting as the film itself.

For some reason I saw parallels between the ending in this film to the ending in The Wild Bunch, only a lot less bloody. The presentation looks great and does not disappoint.   more >> Customer Review Superbly brushed-up classic. - 4.25 out of 5  (6/3/2000) For a film as old as this one, it is so good to see Fox presenting the best picture possible. The glorious 2.35:1 ratio is used to it's max, and the makers really had a sense of visual style. As far as audio goes, it's only mono, but the film doesn't suffer for it. What impressed me was the movie itself - as William Gildman says in the bonus interviews, '..people don't shoot films anymore. They shoot scedules and bonuses and egos..' This is so true. What maked this a classic is that it was mad   more >>
