Bob Dylan was sought after to sing the iconic song, but declined. • All songs by Burt Bacharach • River jump scene shot at Century Ranch, Malibu, CA • Dustin Hoffman considered for role of Butch • Newman did own bicycling stunts because stunt double kept falling off. • Actual name of Butch and Sundance’s gang was the Wild Bunch, this name coincided with the Brando film so they changed it. • Body count = 30 • Original title was The Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy

  5. Steve McQueen sought after for Sundance role but dropped out. • Warren Beatty also was considered. • On first day of train robbery scene, Ross came to the set. The crew was short a camerman so Ross filled in after being taught by the Cinematographer. • Real “Hole in the Wall Gang” hid near Delta, CO where one of their famous bank robberies occurred. • Won 9 BAFTA awards, the record for any film. • In actuality before they went to Bolivia the two bandits went to Patagonia (Argentina).
