Great movie, as always. If you like Redford & Newman, you have to, have to, have to check out “The Sting”. No spoilers but it won many awards, including the Oscar and the music is fantastic!
Yes! And of the two, my favorite of them. I love both of them, but THE STING is next level. Just watched it on a new Blu-ray a few weeks ago, and still holds up.
For me, one issue with The Sting is that once you've seen how it's all done, it loses some of its appeal. Still a beautifully shot and acted movie though, but I still think Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid has more re watchability for that reason.
Harvey Logan, the very tall man with the deep voice challenging Butch is Ted Cassidy. Our generation absolutely adored him as Lurch the butler in the tv series "The Addams Family", where he contributed priceless delivery at basso profundo: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lYQkudsfgwc.html
I also remember him in the half animation/live action series "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn". He played escaped convict Injun Joe. And lets not forget "Ruk" from StarTrek series "What Little Girls are Made of".
The Payroll master is Strother Martin, who acted along side and opposite Paul Newman (Butch) in "Cool Hand Luke", and who gave us what was the equivalent of a meme during that time: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V2f-MZ2HRHQ.html. Martin is another in the long, long line of priceless supporting actors who make the movies as great as they are and who help the stars to shine in their roles.
For the record, this is not a CULT Classic. It is a Classic. A Cult Classic is one carried thru the ages by it's fan base after not achieving great success upon release
Yep, the iconic duo of Newman and Redford paired up again in The Sting which won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Film Editing, and Best Original Screenplay at the Oscars.
You should say it is the other Newman/Redford movie, as they never teamed up again. I imagine it was because no one could afford to pay both their salaries for a single picture.
@@MarcosElMalo2 They were going to do A Walk in the Woods from the Bill Bryson book about a couple older guys hiking the Appalachian trail. But Newman died before they could do it.Nick Nolte ended up doing it with Redford.
You’re right on the Jeremiah Johnson thing. Robert Redford. He started the sundance film festival. Keep up the western. Brilliant stuff. Love all the way from Glasgow!
There are stories that Butch and Sundance didn't die in Bolivia. Butch's relatives say that he visited them in Utah in the 1920's. Forensic people exhumed 2 bodies in Bolivia that were supposed to be Sundance and Butch, but DNA showed that it wasn't them
Butch's sister, Lula Mae Parker, wrote a book called "Butch Cassidy, My Brother". In it, she writes that Butch visited the family long after he was believed to have been killed. (She even visited the set of this movie during production.
The marshal at the beginning who couldn't get together a posse was played by the great Ken Mars, who played Franz Liebkin in _The Producers_ and Inspector Kemp in _Young Frankenstein._ Newman and Redford made only two films together. The other one is _The Sting_ (1973), one of the greatest caper comedies ever made.
It's possible it was two other guys killed in Bolivia and Butch Cassidy lived well into the 1930s. "Etta Place" (an alias, her real identity is unknown) disappeared from history in 1909.
@@rayhume1971 At the same time, there's no proof they did die in Bolivia. No photographs of the bodies, no one positively identified the two as Butch and Sundance before the burial, and the DNA test at the gravesite came up empty. For all the stories about outlaws surviving to an old age, this one has the most credibility.
Yes, it was a very new concept. Now we're so used to it, but before there was a very clear delineation between 'good guys' & 'bad guys', not much grey area. And most previous Westerns didn't use humor and banter like here. Not the strong silent types of classic Westerns, who are very serious people. Plus the modern music.
There were a lot of westerns before this where criminals are presented as antiheros; Jesse James, Billy the Kid, Belle Starr, The Daltons, The Youngers, John Wesley Hardin, Black Bart, even Jack McCall, who's claim to fame was shooting Wild Bill in the back had "Jack McCall: Desperado." Doc Holliday was always presented as morally gray. The simplification of "the good guys and the bad guys" was never the case. Good/Bad men and layered characters were present since the silent era.
Fun story vaguely related. When this movie came out I was just over 2 years old, and being an idiot I stuck my finger in a room fan. Ripped it to shreds. It was a small town, so my Dad took me to the doctor's office which was only a couple blocks away. In the surgery the doctor sewed up my finger, and today it's fine except for a crazy scar. The whole time he worked on me he sang "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head" to keep my calm. I actually remember this. My Dad turned pale watching, and had to leave the room!
My grandfather had one of those electric bug killers with that purplish light inside. Now, being little kids, my brother and I mistakenly thought that light is what killed the bugs. We'd hear that little zapping sound when the bugs went in there, and we wanted to hear that ourselves. We got a wooden stick that had fallen off a tree and thought we'd just tap that lamp and here the noise. Well, as I'm sure you know and as we definitely found out, it's that wire cage around the lamp that kills the flying insects. So that stick was making this loud electrical racket as we slid that stick in, and we were so intent on just tapping that lamp that we didn't react at first and pull that stick out. Now our parents and grandparents think we are dying out there because of this and ran out in a panic, and it didn't help that I told them not to worry because wood is an insulator. They obviously couldn't tell we were safe from the living room, they just heard all this racket, so they took my comment as a smart alecky one.
I find it so funny that so many reactors don't know who the hell Robert Redford is. Most feel like they've seen him before in Captain America - The Winter Soldier where he plays Alexander Pierce. In the late 60's & 70's, he was THE heartthrob. He was Brad Pitt before Brad Pitt. You were right with your "Jeremiah Johnson" comment, one of his films in the height of his career. He's 87 years old now, but he'll always be a Hollywood legend. Always love watching movies with you! Thanks!
You would LOVE the film "The Sting." It's a period piece about con men and a crime boss. Has Newman, Redford, and the guy who played Quint in Jaws, Robert Shaw.
Yes, glad you mentioned this. It's a good con film. Another good kind of western like movie is The Shootist with John Wayne. Thematically, it is similar to Gran Torino (ie getting rid of some of the bad guys in town) and that actor who played the undertaker was originally in the silent films, interesting to watch, and the smarmy newspaper guy. Ma'am, we've a touchy situation here. The guy who played Colonal Potter in MASH is in The Shootist as well and the guy who directed Apollo 13 along with Lauren Bacall as his mom. Crothers plays a stable keeper. Pretty good cast all around.
Late 60's early 70's was a time of tremendous upheaval and change especially in the U.S. We young "Baby Boomers" were not ready to obediently be drafted and shipped off to Vietnam to die in a foolish conflict we didn't care about. Our thoughts and beliefs were so different from our parents and it showed in everything from our taste in music and clothes to our attitudes about the world in general. Now young kids look at us as though we are out of touch? They obviously need a history lesson...
"You would not think that it was a sixties movie." There were a lot of new types of films in the 1960s for the time, somewhat experimental and revolutionary, through newer filmmakers and especially in the latter part of the decade with the MPAA coming into being. This paralleled changes in the culture overall in music and society.
It's an absolute classic movie, and it won a ton of awards. The screenplay is by the man who wrote "The Princess Bride," if you've seen that. The music was by Burt Bacharach, who wrote many hit songs. In addition to three Oscars, it won a Grammy and a Golden Globe. If you want to see another classic film with this duo, watch "The Sting."
Several folks have mentioned that Newman and Redford were paired again [as good bad guys] a few years later in the Oscar-winner "The Sting." Same director (George Roy Hill) also. Do check it out.
Coney Island is not too far a car or train ride from my very house, in Brooklyn! And as I am a native Brooklynite, I can vouch that Coney Island is a fun place to be!
They did a western tv series based off this movie called Alias Smith And Jones. In this series instead of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid they were called Hannible Haze and Kid Curry. Imagine if Butch and Sundance were offered an amnesty if they keep themselves clean for a year. No more stealing they have to be honest citizens and stay out of trouble and they will no longer be wanted. However the catch is in the meantime they are still are wanted so they have to stay ahead of the law for a year or face 20 years in prison. It's a good western series and was even popular in Europe back in the 70's.
@@phredphlintstone6455 Yeah but I believe in the series it was called The Devil's Hole Gang. If you are saying there was a real Kid Curry in the actual Hole In The Wall gang in real life, exactly, but there was no Hannibal Haze. As far as I know just a made up name for the series.
@@phredphlintstone6455 Really? I've been all over the internet and haven't found it anywhere. You say it's on RU-vid, thank you for letting me know, really really apprciate that. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It'll warm your heart Dawn to know these 2 guys did so much to "pay it forward " and did so by referencing this film. Paul Newman had his charitable food products as well as The Hole in the Wall Gang camp for kids with serious illnesses. Nobody has done more for independent film makers than Robert Redford and his Sundance Institute and the Sundance Film Festival. Read up on their endeavors and you'll definitely go "Awwwe...
And Sundance, Utah, the Sundance Festival, the Sundance Institute and the Sundance Resort. All of these places and the Kid's nickname came from the Sun Dance sacred ceremonies conducted by the Plains Tribes in North America.
Talk about movie stars. Paul Newman, Robert Redford are unique, and then Katherine Ross comes and shines - plus the Music by Burt Bacharach. One of the Best Movies Ever!
This is a great movie with a stellar cast. Redford and Newman are both "A-List" actors, Newman started a food company (Spaghetti Sauce, Salad Dressing ect...) that all proceeds are donated to Charity. Kathrine Ross married another "Cowboy" actor named Sam Elliott ("Roadhouse" with Patrick Swayze.)
🤠👍 That incongruous scat-singing at 19:56 really surprised audiences back in 1969. Needless to say, it's not the sort of music that normally accompanies a chase scene in a western, but director George Roy Hill really liked it when Burt Bacharach first demonstrated it for him. He thought it perfectly matched the absurdist nature of the film.
This is the movie that broke the mold and a new modern western was born. Movies like "Little Big Man" - "A Man Called Horse" - " The Wild Bunch"- "McCabe and Mrs. Miller"- "Jeremiah Johnson" - "Blazing Saddles" to name a few. IF you like this then you should watch "The Sting", starring the same leads with the same director and won 7 academy awards, highly recommend.
Just to be precise, "The Wild Bunch" was released in June 1969, while "Butch Cassidy..." was released in September 1969. So, "The Wild Bunch" preceded "Butch Cassidy..." by three months. BTW, "True Grit" came out before both of them. It was also released in June 1969, a week before "The Wild Bunch." Interestingly, Strother Martin was in all three of them.
An early American Hard Rock/Metal band formed around the time of this movie and their manager convinced them to name their group Sir Lord Baltimore. They have been called, like UK contemporaries Black Sabbath, the Fathers of Stoner Rock. They were a power trio at first and their lead singer was the drummer - still not very common. Here's a video of their song 1970 song "Kingdom Come". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zs4Gw69GJ0I.htmlsi=WvqFsCwcIrRVwsKi
According to film critics and others "back in the day": Butch and Sundance (Newman and Redford) were the epitome of an OLD Married Couple while Sundance and Etta (and Butch and Agnes) were the epitome of a YOUNG Married Couple [Agnes was portrayed by actress Cloris Leachman - later gaining fame for many other film and TV roles (my favorite is: Frau Blucher, in the Mel Brooks film "Young Frankenstein")].
Background : The gang was called "The Hole in the Wall Gang", after a place where they supposedly hid out; There's general agreement that two men were killed in Bolivia, but there are persistent rumors that it wasn't Butch and Sundance, or at least not Butch. People reported seeing him alive and well, decades after he was reported killed.
And in another time, place and movie many years later....The Whole in the Wall Gang was given to the gang that ripped off jewelry stores in Las Vegas led by Frank Cullota with backing of Anthony Spilotro who was the mob's protector of Lefty Rosenthal who was in charge of mob casinos....The story was made into the book and subsequent Martin Scorsese film...Casino.
Yeah sure, just like Elvis. Its all nonsense. Had he lived after Bolivia, he would've been killed or captured elsewhere. Sorry, but the rumors are just nonsense.
Hole In The Wall is in western Wyoming, and it's definitey not the bluff area along a river shown in the movie. The ranch might be, though, because it's a plateau surrounded on all sides by a barren sloped grade. There might be a notch in that grade, making it the hole in the wall. The perfect hideout because it is open and easy to protect.
@@bobholtzmannthe hole in the wall is in north central Wyoming at the base of the Big Horn Mountains. Kaycee and Story Wyoming are the closest towns. The actual hole in the wall is on private ranch land but you can take a guided tour.
This movie came out when I was 15 years old, and I was so amazed by it, I went back to see it 14 times that year! For a long time, it was my favorite movie ever. As I grew older, I saw a lot of other great films that I decided were even better, but Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid still holds a very special place in my heart. Thanks for reacting to it!
"THE STING" (1973) movie with these 2 wonderful actors is also WONDERFUL!!!! I hope you will put it on your list, (if it isn't there already). I think you would LOVE THESE 2 in that movie as well. (There are many great actors in The Sting too)
Soo many amazing things going on in cinema and music during this time period. While I was living through it, it was just life but looking back it was an amazing time to be alive! Two of my favorite actors and Katherine Ross and the movie's direction was perfect as well. I'm pretty sure there were multiple Oscars for this movie. Now with the benefit of hindsight I feel very fortunate to have lived through such an amazing time.
@DawnMarie The dude with the deep voice who has the knife fight with Butch (Paul Newman) is Ted Cassidy. Cassidy is best well known for playing Lurch on The Addams Family TV series, as well as lending his voice to many classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons. He played and voiced some aliens on Star Trek: The Original Series, he played Bigfoot on an episode of The Six Million Dollar Man, and provided the voice and opening narration for The Incredible Hulk TV series.
He also wrote the sex drama "The Harrad Experiment" starring James Whitmore (The Shawshank Redemption) and a young Don Johnson (Miami Vice, Nash Bridges).
You wisely noted it feels modern because it was the first pop culture western - the script sold for $350,000 in 1969 which was massive. It's William Goldman's script that make it pop and this film inspired the next gen of buddy/action films.
note: redford & newman were approached by director john ford to play daniel and peachy in the kipling story "the man who would be king" ; they suggested getting actual britons to play the part of soldiers in india... so he got michael caine & sean connery... wow wow wow... (it is not a 'western' but is one hell of an adventure/buddy film)
my understanding is that it is hard to get ahold of The Man Who Would Be King, or at least a good print of it. still, that and The Great Train Robbery ((Connery & Sutherland) would be great to review.
Butch Cassidy grew up in Western Colorado and went to work on the largest cattle ranch in Colorado at the age of 16. When the owner was killed in a card game he teamed up with the Sundance kid. and their first job was the bank in telluride Colorado a mining town now a swanky ski resort. Their refuge was a rocky mountain called "robbers roost" located in Western Utah. The part where they used too much dynamite and blew the train to bits was in parachute Colorado about a half hour away from us. Robert Redford created one of the most famous film festivals in Sundance Utah. The ending of the movie was controversial as Butches current relatives say they escaped to Utah and lived to an old age eventually succumbed to pneumonia in his eighties.
The mine manager who gets shot was played by Strother Martin, who also played the laughing henchman in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. (The other henchman was Lee Van Cleef, who appeared in For A Few Dollars More and The Good the Bad and the Ugly.)
The big guy, Harvey, in the knife fight was Ted Cassidy. He played Lurch on the original Addams Family. Think you used enough dynamite there, Butch? On of the best lines in cinema. Such a great movie. Newman and Redford also starred together in The Sting. Katherine Ross was in The Graduate, with Dustin Hoffman.
The guy who wrote it was William Goldman, one of the best screenwriters of the 20th century. Also wrote The Princess Bride, Marathon Man and a bunch of others.
When I was a kid, we lived cross the corner from an old guy that long ago ran a coal mine. He hid Butch Cassidy out for several days when he was on the run.
Dawn, you warmed my (our) hearts by loving this movie. I saw this movie as a boy on TV, and it immediately became my favorite movie. You kept saying it felt like some sort of new Western. You weren't wrong. Westerns changed in the 60's- reflecting the more sophisticated tastes of the audiences and societal changes in general.
There is a sort of sequel to this movie with Katharine Ross as Etta Place, called _Wanted: The Sundance Woman._ Elizabeth Montgomery also played the role in _Mrs. Sundance_ and played another famous criminal, Belle Starr, in another movie.
@@jayeisenhardt1337 Yep. I remember when I was a kid, there was a TV show called "In Search Of..." starring Lennard Nemoy where they explored unexplained/urban legends. They did a whole episode on this topic because there were so many people who thought they were still alive.
Paul Newman (Butch) is one of my absolute favorite actors, everyone knows he's a legend. I'd love it you react to his movie "Cool Hand Luke". Every time I go to my cabin with my dad, brothers, and uncle, we watch it. ❤
Hey, Dawn Marie. You love the old man that hired Butch and Sundance. His name is Strother Martin and you saw him jn TRUE GRIT bargaining with the young Maddie early in the movie. He also stars with Paul Newman in a classic film called COOL HAND LUKE. Paul also turns in great performances in THE VERDICT, ABSENCE OF MALICE, CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF THE STING, and THE HUSTLER. Robert Redford plays a fading cowboy star in THE ELECTRIC HORSEMAN. And his movies THE CANDIDATE, THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR, THE NATURAL ate some of his best work. This week of western movies has been great. At some point I hope you react to CHISUM with John Wayne. And a favorite of mine with Dean Martin , Jimmy Stewart, George Kennedy, and Raquel Welch. Best channel ever!! Keep going.
It's about the passing of the Old West symbolised by the introduction of the bicycle that Butch tosses away cursing it, he just wants things, banks, to stay the same but change is coming....great great movie...
Harry Longabaugh was called "The Sundance Kid" because he wore a holster with large gold rowels all across it. Kind of a "jeweled belt" that reflected the sun a lot, i.e., The Sundance Kid
They went to Argentina first and built a ranch and made a lot of money. She was with them for a few years and there are pictures. The ranch is still there. Sundance took her back to San Fransico and then returned and they started robbing again...it was then they were chased out of Argentina to Bolivia and the shoot-out. No-one knows why they started robbing again...the ranch was very profitable...but it may have been that American authorities started bugging the Argentian government about arresting and returning them. They are buried somewhere in that tiny mining town...the graves that are there are for the tourists.
This was the quintessential 70's buddy movie. And it was so popular in it's unique tongue in cheek comedy style that it sort of made a new genre that you can still see the evolution of today in movies like the Lethal Weapon Series. Same formula.
The love triangle and friendship is based on the French new wave movie Jules & Jim. Also fun note, Jules in Pulp Fiction is named after the same movie. The hook nosed member of the gang, Charlie Dierkop, was an acquaintance of mine and a very fine actor. More important he was a very kind person. He is also in the Sting in a key role. He recently passed away and the world has his work but will miss him.
Robert Redford did this movie and Jeremiah Johnson almost back to back...both of them filmed primarily in Utah...hence he moved there and the rest is history...ie, the Sundance Film Institute and Sundance ski resort Love your reactions Dawn Marie. When I saw this title, instant click BTW, the payroll boss who called them "morons" you adored as the horse trader in True Grit. He is in many other westerns and dissapears into his roles. Unsung genius. Please consider Red River with John Wayne. Absolute classic :)
Yes, that is Jeremiah Johnson. He did tons of movies because people adored him. He's got screen charisma for both genders. My favorites include this one, Jeremiah Johnson, 3 days of the Condor, and Sneakers. And The Sting.
We live 5 miles from the place they jump into the river. The real river is the Animas. The place is called Bakers Bridge. The nearby town is Durango, Colorado. Much of this movie was filmed in our area. The train is the Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, a world famous train that is currently running several trips each day.
Just putting my two cents in. My great, great, grandmother on my mothers side was a Parker and sister to Butch. She did say that he did return for a very short time and left. She kept that time to herself and didn't talk about anything beyond that.
Another western with Newman is Judge Roy Bean . Screenplay by Milius who did the screenplay for Apocalypse Now and, reportedly, the Coan Brothers based the Walter Shobak character in the Big Lebowski on Milius.
The Sundance Kid real name was Harry Longabaugh. He picked up the nickname Sundance Kid from the town of Sundance, which was the only place he was ever jailed. The Hole in the wall gang came from the name of their hideout. It was deep in a canyon with a choke point where if a posse tried to force entry they would be sitting ducks to be picked off. FYI this film picked up the most Academy awards in 1969 but it did not win best picture and it was the highest grossing film of 69 if I recall correctly
The Sundance Film Festival (in the US) is named for the Sundance Kid. In Bolivia they were going under the names of Smith and Jones. (Recall the Sundance Kid asked Butch if he was Smith or Jones.) The movie was so successful that a TV show was developed on a similar premise and called Alias Smith and Jones. Also, if you have not checked out Silverado or Unforgiven, those are pretty good (ok... excellent) westerns as well.
Where I live in Fort Worth, Texas Butch Cassidy and The Wild Bunch had a stay here in 1900. In downtown there is an area called Sundance Square which has a live music stage, fountains and restaurants surrounding it. Also the very famous portrait of Cassidy, Sundance and the rest of the gang was photographed here. There’s a part of old Fort Worth back in that was known as Hell’s Half Acre which was the red light district of that time. All the infamous outlaws of that time frequented the area which was known for its lawlessness and violence. There is a graveyard where it once existed that has the final resting place for many of the notorious criminals of that time period. You can easily find the old portrait of the gang with a quick google.
Going on the wiki pages for the real Butch & Sundance, there are actual photographs of them, one is a terrific group shot of the Wild Bunch gang and I could stare at it for hours. They were real people who lived this life, it's just odd seeing them staring into the lens of a camera, without any idea that we'd still be talking about them 120 years later. Great content, rare choice, you're fun to rewatch flicks with
Excellent reaction. So glad you like well made Westerns. Great pick up that this movie seemed different to the other Westerns . The production code that governed Hollywood movies, 1934-1967, was over. The movies changed quickly in content, tone, and style. This was considered one of the first buddy movies. The concept was the leading men that the audience just enjoyed being with and that the plot/ story was secondary. What happens exactly is quickly forgotten but the audience remembers being entertained by the interactions of Butch and Sundance.Nothing very serious just an entertaining 2 hours and it’s a lark. That was the feeling in 1969 even though people get killed, the leads are robbers, and they get killed at the end. But somehow we felt upbeat and started whistling that silly song, Raindrops… , for weeks after. This was star power and a movie that would not work with most anyone but Newman and Redford.
The dynamite guy plays Pea Eye in Lonesome Dove, the big guy played Lurch in Addams Family tv show, and the sheriff at the beginning is the, well, sheriff in Youn Frankenstein. All worthy. The other sheriff they tie up is in Little Big Man, all worthy.
This is written for a new generation of people who are born at the end of an era & have difficulty fast changing with the times. Tons of people trained for manufacturing & guys coming back from Vietnam, which they took shit for, were suddenly facing massive job shortages going into the computer age as they watched several major manufacturers close down & many thriving mom-and-pop stores close in the ripple effect of those closures at the end of the Post-WW2 Economic Boom. The worst part was watching once proud hard-working people unable to find a job or find a job with decent pay. Also, There's a documentary about the Old West & it is mentioned that the telephone had a huge impact on bank robberies. I was born in 1968 & grew up in North-East Los Angeles, CA. I remember going anywhere more than an hour away from the city seemed like a step back in time. I can imagine in Bolivia that phone service might be spotty at best & back then probably felt like stepping back in time. They were done in The US so going to Bolivia let them step back in time for a moment & prolong the inevitable. Watching them struggle must have felt personal to young adults back then. So watching them go down guns blazing with an "EFF the System" attitude really hit hard for average peeps when it came out.
The ultimate buddy film of all-time. DynamicDuo Newman & Redford actually became BFFs IRL and were planning on a third venture but Newman sadly passed away.
Some years ago you could have bought The Hole in the Wall. The Wyoming ranch it's on was for sale. If you head up U.S. Highway 20 there's a sign pointing off to the north, "Hole in the Wall, X miles."
The sister of Butch later said that he was not killed in that shootout. Redford and Newman are Hollywood legends and humanitarians. In 1981, Redford founded a film festival. The name was blah blah blah or whatever, but it was later renamed - SUNDANCE! Newman produced and distributed 'Newman's Own' (pasta sauces). They are the ONLY pasta sauces I buy because 100% of the proceeds have always gone to charities.
At 3:37 HARVEY LOGAN (Ted Cassidy) is Lurch from the Adams Family, he was 2.06M tall... In Australia in my day (i'am 50+) i was swimming i 5m+ waves (body surfing) by myself...
The Sundance Kid got his name by spending time in the jail in Sundance, Wyo. which got its name because the Sioux did their Sundance at the base of the mountain there.
