I'm Sean Cassidy, Ted's son. It warms my heart to hear so many nice comments about Dad. Making this movie was the happiest Dad ever was during his career. Later, Reford and Dad became buddies and hung out.
I grew up in the 60s. Between The Addams Family, Star Trek, and all of the Saturday morning cartoons he lent his voice to, your father was a big part of my childhood. I also remember a later commercial with your father as a bartender and he called Wilt Chamberlain "Shorty". I wish I could have thanked him for all the great memories.
Back in 1969, I attended this movie with a buddy on a Saturday evening. When THIS scene came up, and Butch lashes out with his foot where "It Counts", a lady in the audience screamed out," Oh! THAT POOR MAN!". Well, the audience had a good, roaring laughter for a minute or so and the movie carried on. BUT, over the years whenever I watch this movie, when this scene come up, I remember that lady and start laughing all over again. A fun memory. Cheers!
Ha that is funny! I envy you for being able to have been alive during that time and experienced some things I only read about or see on tv. Not to say I haven't had some good experiences myself but I wish I could of been around in the 50s and 60s.
When I was 12 we had a school project: interview someone you admire. I wrote to Paul Newman because I loved his work as an actor and especially respected his charity work and camps helping sick kids. I was a sick kid most of my childhood and really admired everything he did. One night I came home from dinner and there was a message on my families answering machine. Paul Newman’s secretary had called to tell me that Paul was grateful for my letter and support but he was shooting Road To Perdition with Tom hanks and couldn’t do the interview. One of the greatest actors of all time actually took time out of his schedule to reach out and contact a 12 year old fan, thank him, and encourage him. He was one of the most gracious, kind, generous, and compassionate human beings in addition to massively talented. I’ll never ever forget that night.
You put more effort in than I would have with such an assignment. I would have just interviewed my grandpa. Because he was full of interesting stories.
This movie has held up really well over the years. A lot of westerns really drag on from a modern perspective but Paul Newman and Robert Redford had so much charisma that you're always engaged.
@larry robinson I hear you...I think Wild Bunch is one of the 3 greatest westerns ever, along with High Noon and Once Upon A Time In The West, but for entertainment value in Butch Cassidy they made the Old West a helluva lot better than what it was. Often westerns now are very violent,ugly characters shot in sepia tone...Who the hell wants to watch that?More realism frequently does not make a movie better. I wanna see beautiful women like Katherine Ross, 2 very charismatic stars in their prime,great scenery with Technicolor blue skies, a strong supporting cast with a tight story.
This riveting scene is a master class in movie making. The quick, crisp dialogue and exchanges. The camera movement up close and around. The drama, tension and humor. The facial expressions: Harvey’s easy confidence, Butch peeking over the horse at Harvey, Sundance with his comical smile at Harvey. This is when directors expected their audience to be smart.
The directors weren't expecting their audience to be smart... the directors KNEW their audience was smart. This was back when the world was a good place and common sense was... well... COMMON and people paid attention.
From the screenplay: "As he finishes speaking, Butch delivers the most aesthetically exquisite kick in the balls in the history of modern American cinema."
Watched this movie with my Grandma when I was a kid . Seen it 20 times or more since . Still love it. Wish I could watch it with Grams one more time though
It's unfortunate Ted Cassidy died so young. What a beast of a man with that distinctive voice, would have loved to see him in more roles before his time.
@@nosuchthing8 your correct . He appeared in an episode of star trek , and was a regular in Addams family as " lurch" the butler. He was the narrator in the intro to the incredible hulk TV show. Did a lot of voice over work in many animated series. And so on.........
100% agreed! Ted Cassidy was so talented, aside from having an intimidating physical presence and an amazing balls-deep baritone voice. He was very intelligent and thoughtful, having been an excellent student and writer. Ted was also a talented pianist and an excellent athlete in high school and college. It's so tragic he died young. I really wish he would have lived to a nice old age, which would have allowed him to accomplish more creative projects that would have shown he was so much more than just Lurch.
I agree. They remade "Psycho" and "Ben Hur" - both turned out terrible and failed at the box office. The studios should simply re-release these and other classics and let a new generation see them.
I am still miffed that it did not win the Academy Award for best picture for 1969...It lost to Midnight Cowboy. Newman and Redford or Hoffman and Voight? That is what you call a no-brainer...as in the Academy had no brain. Superb film.
@@moncorp1 I usually hate songs with lyrics in westerns, the old Billy thed kid movie is a grand example, just couldn't enjoy it.. But i have to admit that the raindrops scene with the bike was really enjoyable for me, i just felt it fit the scene somehow, but i totally get your point 😅
So many great things about this scene (hell, this entire movie), but I always get a chill at 1:37 when Sundance says he'd "love to" kill Logan. The soft, calm tone in his voice, followed by that blue-eyed gaze--the gaze of a killer. Redford is perfect as Sundance, and Newman as Butch; the two of them together make for one of the best duos in cinema history.
Also, how about right before that, when Butch tells him to bet on Logan. Sundance straight up tells him he would. Just that there'd be no one to take his bet.
In addition, he maintains eye contact with Butch as he says it. They might never say anything to each other without turning it into a joke, but he's making it very clear to Butch in that moment that he's 100% serious.
There is no documented evidence of Sundance Kid ever killing anyone, on the other hand Harvey Logan aka Kid Curry was a prolific killer of lawmen and a noted gunman, Sundance would probably have lost
One of the most realistic Westerns ever made... At the end, it actually showed them reloading their Colts. There's only a few movies that ever show reloads, most of the stars just shoot a dozen bad guys and then holster their six-shooters. Great movie!
@Tbone Unless you go to italy to see the cool and historically accurate and badass spaghetti westerns where they go all out. I'm glad The Wild Bunch and this movie broke out of the soft John Wayne western rules and decided to be itself.
Well, shooting from the hip, like Sundance does, is ridiculously inaccurate. He would not be able to hit anything in real life. Looks great in the movies, but in real life would get you killed.
@@jimmytehgeek "I start fightin' a war, I guarantee you'll see somethin' new." "Hell.....I'll grant you your greatest wish.........a world without sin."
Oh yeaaahhh. No Rules= PRISON RULES. You declare No Rules, you better hope you're quick to his balls. Otherwise he'll be there before you know it. I mean, in a real fight the privates are a low blow at the least. But in a No Rules Match, Balls are fair game.
I went to see this movie in the theatre when it first came out in 1969; the whole place erupted in screaming laughter and applause on this scene. It’s still just as thrilling today, even knowing what’s going to happen.
Ted Cassidy FINALLY getting a chance to show some of his considerable acting chops, not just being required to play off his physicality = 💯 Bonus points for getting to act alongside Newman and Redford.
That smile made a fabulous poster on my bedroom wall. I was so in love with him from 9 years old on. Unfortunately, the poster of Paul Newman wasn’t in the Butch outfit but I made do. 😄
Saw this when it came out, I was 7. Went with 2 sisters and 3 cousins all older than I. I was probably too young considering the content, but made a huge impact on me at that age. Still one of my favorite movies, because of the comedy and drama combined. Newman & Redford were great in this film, their camaraderie, and interaction was stellar.
Sean, as a kid, born in 1960, I loved your dad. Lurch was a big teddy bear and he was my favorite. I saw him in Star Trek and I loved him in Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid. It was obvious that he was very tall but I just loved his deep voice. He passed away shortly after I graduated high school and I was very sad that I would not get to see him. He was always Lurch to me. He was a skilled actor. Thanks for posting. It is nice to see the family members of our favorite actors.
Not only was Ted Cassidy “Lurch” for the Addams Family, but he also did many voices for cartoons, like Frankenstein JR., Galactus (the Fantastic Four) and many, many others. He had such a deep booming voice, it was perfect for cartoon villains.
Thanks for reminding me in which cartoon Ted voiced "Galactus". I can still hear Ted's thunderous baritone: "Hear Galactus, and obey". I would have obeyed 😲. I'm guessing The Fantastic Four were less co-operative 🤨.
That movie is chock full of memorable scenes. Like the jump off the cliff into the river - Sundance: "I can't swim." Butch: "The fall will probably kill you". Great movie. "Who are those guys?". It just goes on and on.
"Or if there's a girl, or if I'm gettin' paid......mostly if I'm gettin' paid" NoJusticeNoPeace............ "My time of takin' you seriously is comin' to a middle" "If your hand touches keypad buttons, I swear by pretty floral bonnet, I will end you!" I AIM TO MISBEHAVE! Stay Shiny!
One of the best movies ever made. R.I.P. William Goldman the screenwriter for this movie and The Princess Bride and All the Presidents Men among many other things. A real under-achiever but he had so much promise.
Absolutely - terrific writer. And a best-selling novelist: "Marathon Man" and "Magic" among others. Both became movies and he wrote the scripts for them.
'under' achiever? He wrote a novel in 3 weeks and another in about 1 week. From what height are you calling him an UNDER achiever? Getting any script at all made into a film ranks as astronomically impossible. My favourite piece of writing is his saying, 'nobody knows anything'.
Anyone could walk through this piece of land and admire the scenery, but stick Newman and Redford there and pay attention to your lighting and wow, it almost renders it a place of hallowed ground. Supremely shot movie with two absolute legends. The menace and potential action in Redford's eyes at 0:58 as the situation escalates is just genious.
Have to admit this is my favorite scene in this movie. Always love seeing "David vs Goliath " scenarios played out. Probably because I'm a bit of a runt myself.
Agree. George Clooney said it best, about Newman, 'setting the bar, too high'. Paul, was one of a kind. And, it didn't hurt that he seemed to have a good eye for great scripts and worked with incredible directors like Hill, Ritt, Lumet, Huston... But, yeah, he's always my favorite actor.
I'm only discovering Paul Newman now, and how the hell is this charismatic??? He's the ultimate Hollywood actor. People comparing him to Clooney are fools.
I dated a woman whose mother told us in 1994 that her grandfather was the sherrif in whatever the town was that was closest to Robber's Roost. She told us that it was common knoweldge that Butch and Sundance had a hideout up in that crazy landscape, but nobody, not even the sherrif, wanted to out them beacuse the gang had earned their sympathies somehow, perhaps by bringing down the railroad barons a notch or two.
Nope,Cole younger vs Sam Starr in that Texas saloon in the Long Riders,David Caradine played Younger but I never knew who played the half-breed Sam Starr.
@Robert kriwer: That was James Remar who played Sam Starr in Longriders. He usually played bad guys/villains in his films ("Ganz" in "48 Hours", "Ajax" in "The Warriors", "Dutch Schultz" in "The Cotton Club"). He was a professional bad guy.
This movie and The Long Riders were the few movies that actually got the knife fighting style of that era of time correct. When one's opponent also has a large knife, the edge facing up is the proper way to hold it in order to counter, trap, or damage the opponent's blade.
Let me tell you buddy, there's a faster gun. Comin over yonder when tomorrow comes. Let me tell you buddy, an' it won't be looooong! Til you find herself singin' yer last cowboy song.
I’m 55yrs old and my Dad told me that when you are in a fight do what you got to do to win. He worked in road construction & oil-field construction and he had his share of fights. There are NO RULES in any fighting unless they are licensed or bare-knuckle.
While that's true, fists are still the prime weapon. I am currently under arrest for assault, thankfully CCTV says I didn't start it, but I finished it. He got hit in the nose and that was him done, as with 90% who you hit in the nose, the punch to the cheekbone which fractured it, also helped, but I still don't understand how I missed his jaw .... Am waiting for his letter of 'complaint rescind' or we are both going to see a cell for a few days. So nose or jaw, depending on which angle you can get in. All the fancy karate/kung fu guys are easy to beat, simple rule, every time they even flinch, take half a step back and they will miss you completely and usually leave themselves massively open.
would have been cool to see yer ol man in action : saw mine fight once ; was winning, but opponent got in good gut hook to finish it ☹️ still proud tho
My Folks got to meet Ted Cassidy and his family in the 70’s . He was a very nice man. He took time out of his own dinner to toast my Parents when he heard it was their Anniversary!
This has literally been one of the funniest things I've ever seen my entire life. Honorable mention, "The fall will probably kill us." Gotta wonder what happened when Lurch recovered.
My maiden name is Cassidy. When this movie was in the theaters, my dad took me and my brother to see it over and over and over. We loved it, and it bonded us.
Awesome my friend. Those were the years when going to see a show with your family was really a special time. My father took us to every James Bond movie... many times we'd see them more than once.
Towards the end of of the movie, the scene where they have to kill the bandits when they were hired as security guards Sundance says "Well, we tried going straight, what do we do now." Love it.
Fun fact: Shatner actually trained in karate specifically to make Captain Kirk look better in a fight, one of the early users of martial arts in TV/film. Of course we had the Green Lantern (Kato/Bruce Lee) and Billy Jack as well.
When I saw this was on netflix I thought I'd just watch it to feel a bit cultured. "It's an old movie" I figured, "can't actually be that good", but I was so wrong! Great movie! I recommend you watch it! (even if you are a teenager like me. It will entertain your 10-second attention span with great characters, action & scenery)
@@adventuressurvivalinthailand Go easy on the kid. I applaud him for giving something out of his comfort zone a chance. And look what he got in return. A great film, that takes away the notion of old means bad. A film that he will probably enjoy countless times. Another benefit is the kid will now give 'old' movies a chance. and approach them with a more open mind.
One of the great classics. I remember it like it was yesterday. With all the crap hollywood is making now, don't see fit to waste my money watching movies now.
Harvey was played by Ted Cassidy who is known as Lurch in The Addams Family and he does the narration for the intro and provided the Hulk's roars from The Incredible Hulk 1978 TV series with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno

He was not just a tremendous physical presence, but a skilled actor who did both drama and comedy so well- in this scene, there was some of both.

The first rule of a fair fight is that there is no such thing as a fair fight.
And that, children, is how a cowboy fights with knives.
mm hmm!
children don't learn anything we adults don't teach them
In the movies
Indeed
They cheat?
One of the best movies ever made. R.I.P. William Goldman the screenwriter for this movie and The Princess Bride and All the Presidents Men among many other things. A real under-achiever but he had so much promise.
Absolutely - terrific writer. And a best-selling novelist: "Marathon Man" and "Magic" among others. Both became movies and he wrote the scripts for them.
'under' achiever? He wrote a novel in 3 weeks and another in about 1 week. From what height are you calling him an UNDER achiever? Getting any script at all made into a film ranks as astronomically impossible. My favourite piece of writing is his saying, 'nobody knows anything'.
@@elinannestad5320 It was a joke.
@@elinannestad5320 Swooooooosh !
One of my favorite movies of all time. I know I’m getting old when I say...” They just don’t make them like they used to.”
Anyone could walk through this piece of land and admire the scenery, but stick Newman and Redford there and pay attention to your lighting and wow, it almost renders it a place of hallowed ground. Supremely shot movie with two absolute legends. The menace and potential action in Redford's eyes at 0:58 as the situation escalates is just genious.
beautifully noted.
Have to admit this is my favorite scene in this movie. Always love seeing "David vs Goliath " scenarios played out. Probably because I'm a bit of a runt myself.
That smile from Sundance as he waves to Logan is classic - it just oozes, "...you son of a b*@#$"
MMT Sr q
MMT Sr I think so too, Brad Pitt uses that same smirk in movies
Randy Ayo always thought Brad Pitt looks like Robert Redford
Been great if he had jumped off the horse and drew on Harvey.
Redford...sigh
One of the best all time movies ever.
One of the greatest films ever made
Nothing like seeing that in a full theater and hearing everyone go completely nuts when Butch delivered the goods.
Was that when he kicked him in the balls or when he Captain Kirk'ed him in the face?
Lurch - "You raaaaaang"
Harvey - get his bells rung by Butch's swift kick
One of those times in my life I walked out of a move theatre and knew I'd seen something truly a cut above the normal films of the era.
Born in 93’ and this is still my most iconic movie scene I’ve ever seen!!
Everyone has a plan, until they get kicked in the Jacob's.
Every man has a Jacobs, till they kick another man in the Jacobs.
Agreed Ben, an accurate kick in the Town Halls has defeated many a goliath..
@@rebelwithoutapplause5629 Town halls is a great phrase. I'm going to use that from now on. Haha. Peace.
@@benjic80Cheers Ben. You can also refer to them as the "Niagras"..!
@@rebelwithoutapplause5629 Love that one too my friend.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ❤️ MR.TED CASSIDY..
THIS WHOLE-ENTIRE MOVIE IS 🎬 ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC...
I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT TED CASSIDY..A REAL TALENT..
I love this scene. Come to watch this scene every now and then.
Love this scene, lol. R.I.P. Paul Newman and Ted Cassidy.
Today's Hollywood does not seem to have actors with the talent and class that Paul Newman had.
Agree. George Clooney said it best, about Newman, 'setting the bar, too high'.
Paul, was one of a kind. And, it didn't hurt that he seemed to have a good eye for great scripts and worked with incredible directors like Hill, Ritt, Lumet, Huston...
But, yeah, he's always my favorite actor.
He's got a great spaghetti sauce too!
@@dave-yj9mc He HAD a great spaghetti sauce. He's dead.
@@toshikotanaka3249 Good point thanks... RIP Paul
This is a classic movie. 1 of the best ever ❤
Such an iconic scene from an absolutely iconic film.
Paul is missed
Great Actor
So's Ted. He went way before his time. From what I have read, he was indeed a nice guy.
Joseph Nichols ... Tremendous talent. His voice acting exceeded his on camera time.
Absolutely. Robert Redford was powerful in his prime too. Both legends.
But his SALAD DRESSING still remains!!!!!!!
His widow Joanne Woodward is beset with dementia and doesn't remember him. Quite tragic.
Every line is just superb.
i pretty much use the quote "1 2 3 go!" in just normal everyday casual life.
I use tons of lines from this epic film. It's my favorite #1 no questions. "You just keep thinking Butch..that's what yer good at."
Charlie Beaumont But do you go o three or go or right after go? Just to cite another movie line.
" I can't swim..."
Who are those guys ??? My personal fave :)
The most perfectly landed nut-kick in movie history!
Makes me wonder how many takes were required to get it right, and if Ted Cassidy got tired of it after a few takes!
I'm only discovering Paul Newman now, and how the hell is this charismatic??? He's the ultimate Hollywood actor. People comparing him to Clooney are fools.
Great script, great scene.
I remember watching this movie when it first came out...as a kid at the drive-in with my family... Good memory.👍
Tall guy is Lurch from The Adams Family.
+Boos Myller You are one human excrement.
*****
I'm from Ohio. This is a civilized area.
His real name is Ted Cassidy and he's Lurch alright.
for a second I thought it was Richhard kiel....(jaws in James Bond)
The late Ted Cassidy.
I dated a woman whose mother told us in 1994 that her grandfather was the sherrif in whatever the town was that was closest to Robber's Roost. She told us that it was common knoweldge that Butch and Sundance had a hideout up in that crazy landscape, but nobody, not even the sherrif, wanted to out them beacuse the gang had earned their sympathies somehow, perhaps by bringing down the railroad barons a notch or two.
Superb film never get bored watching this brilliant actors
Newman and Redford were just about the best pair in movies of that time....What a great scene....I still LMAO and I know what's coming!
Best knife fight ever!
By the voice.
Agreed.
Nope,Cole younger vs Sam Starr in that Texas saloon in the Long Riders,David Caradine played Younger but I never knew who played the half-breed Sam Starr.
No
@Robert kriwer: That was James Remar who played Sam Starr in Longriders. He usually played bad guys/villains in his films ("Ganz" in "48 Hours", "Ajax" in "The Warriors", "Dutch Schultz" in "The Cotton Club"). He was a professional bad guy.
"That's what sustained me in my time of trouble..." One of the funniest scenes....
I love how Ted is actually holding his knife correctly......
This movie and The Long Riders were the few movies that actually got the knife fighting style of that era of time correct.
When one's opponent also has a large knife, the edge facing up is the proper way to hold it in order to counter, trap, or damage the opponent's blade.
"Do ya need a count?"
"No sir."
BANG!
"Well that ain't good."

Let me tell you buddy, there's a faster gun.
Comin over yonder when tomorrow comes.
Let me tell you buddy, an' it won't be looooong!
Til you find herself singin' yer last cowboy song.
Always cracks me up. RULES??!! In a knife fight? Thud. Whap. Fight over.
luv the way dust flies from his trou as his balls bust
Yep. Just watched it!
"1, 2 3, GO"!
Snort! That is me laughing!
I’m 55yrs old and my Dad told me that when you are in a fight do what you got to do to win. He worked in road construction & oil-field construction and he had his share of fights. There are NO RULES in any fighting unless they are licensed or bare-knuckle.
If you can't win a fair fight, don't fight fair.
While that's true, fists are still the prime weapon. I am currently under arrest for assault, thankfully CCTV says I didn't start it, but I finished it. He got hit in the nose and that was him done, as with 90% who you hit in the nose, the punch to the cheekbone which fractured it, also helped, but I still don't understand how I missed his jaw .... Am waiting for his letter of 'complaint rescind' or we are both going to see a cell for a few days.
So nose or jaw, depending on which angle you can get in.
All the fancy karate/kung fu guys are easy to beat, simple rule, every time they even flinch, take half a step back and they will miss you completely and usually leave themselves massively open.
would have been cool to see yer ol man in action : saw mine fight once ; was winning, but opponent got in good gut hook to finish it ☹️
still proud tho
I swear I've watched this scene hundreds of times! I think it's my favorite comedic scene in not just this but all movies!
I always loved to watch Ted's work in television and movies.
Sad that he passed away so young. My Our Lord forever bless him and his family.
Flatnose also appears with Newman and Redford in The Sting as Robert Shaw's personal bodyguard. What a fine actor!
Still one o' my favourite movies...
Redford and Newman were real movie stars.
Who knew
@Stop the BS
Not really....he's officially retired now from acting.
as opposed to fake movie stars???
Newman was an actor, Redford was basically for decoration.
I loved the papier mache stars
My Folks got to meet Ted Cassidy and his family in the 70’s . He was a very nice man. He took time out of his own dinner to toast my Parents when he heard it was their Anniversary!
Wow, how cool!
The actor playing News Carver was Pea Eye Parker in Lonesome Dove
This has literally been one of the funniest things I've ever seen my entire life. Honorable mention, "The fall will probably kill us." Gotta wonder what happened when Lurch recovered.
If you watch the movie, Logan was with them the next day on the train robbery.
@@gz9520 You wouldn't have thought he'd have been able to get back in the saddle so soon after!
One of the best western movies. God bless Paul Newman.
Two of the best looking men I've ever seen. Loved all of their movies.
Ted Cassidy (Logan) is a looker...
Ur proly 60 yrs old lol
Flatnose ?
and u are 6. lol-lol-lollipop
Connie Barnes you apparently haven't seen me, dear.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting best 2 movies ever made.
What a classic film...
Loved this scene with Ted Cassidy ( very attractive guy) & Paul Newman.....
All of young here......
Thanks for sharing this....
My maiden name is Cassidy. When this movie was in the theaters, my dad took me and my brother to see it over and over and over. We loved it, and it bonded us.
Awesome my friend. Those were the years when going to see a show with your family was really a special time. My father took us to every James Bond movie... many times we'd see them more than once.
My dad took me to see this movie 3 times in the 1 week, 😀. Good memories indeed.
One of the best Westerns ever!
I remember seeing this as a child. It made such an impression on me. Great, great scene.
It would've made an "impression" on ANY guy getting kicked like that!
"Well thank you flat nose! That's what sustained me in my time of trouble."
Remember Flatnose from the Sting, again with Newman & Redford, & Police 👮 Woman with Angie Dickenson. 😊
Yep. Just watched it!
I was 9 when this came out and my dad took me to see it with him. We were best friends and I miss him everyday.
Towards the end of of the movie, the scene where they have to kill the bandits when they were hired as security guards Sundance says "Well, we tried going straight, what do we do now." Love it.
Hey Butch used the patented Captain Kirk double fist punch. :)
I actually tried that punch once as a kid on a punching bag almost busted my hand
Spock used that technique on the salt lady/creature in the first episode of the original series, didn't work out well. 😆
@@bodeine454 LOL! You are correct sir.
Fun fact: Shatner actually trained in karate specifically to make Captain Kirk look better in a fight, one of the early users of martial arts in TV/film. Of course we had the Green Lantern (Kato/Bruce Lee) and Billy Jack as well.
Guess it's the other way around, you know, 2260 is close to the original series in-universe date 🤣
When I saw this was on netflix I thought I'd just watch it to feel a bit cultured. "It's an old movie" I figured, "can't actually be that good", but I was so wrong!
Great movie! I recommend you watch it!
(even if you are a teenager like me. It will entertain your 10-second attention span with great characters, action & scenery)
Lol yeah old movies CAN'T be good because they're so old.
It's so sad to realise that people even think the way you do
The Adventuring & Camping School, Thailand Right? Like why would one even think old means bad?
@@adventuressurvivalinthailand Go easy on the kid. I applaud him for giving something out of his comfort zone a chance. And look what he got in return. A great film, that takes away the notion of old means bad.
A film that he will probably enjoy countless times. Another benefit is the kid will now give 'old' movies a chance. and approach them with a more open mind.
bigpapasmurf Z Exactly 👌
One of the best scenes ever from a movie !!!
One of the great classics. I remember it like it was yesterday. With all the crap hollywood is making now, don't see fit to waste my money watching movies now.
It’s amazing that Paul played such scoundrel yet was a man who did incredible work
He pulled out the Captain Kirk two-handed spin punch. There’s no defense for the that. It was over before it even started. RIP
ya, totally. Good one.
Interesting ... especially since Ted Cassidy was on a few of the original Star Trek episodes!
LMAO
This should have about 10,000 upvotes
“Ah me back! U done Busted me back Jimmy Boy!” Finnegan.
*i believe this is the only defense for the Captain Kirk double fisted spin punch.
This Butch was some guy ! The movie was an absolute classic ! No one's gonna mess
with Butch and Sundance !!
HOLY TED CASSIDY BATMAN, he's got a voice from heaven and deeper than the ocean! I'd never seen him as anything but Lurch till now!
Malkie s He was a great actor actually. Had a pretty good career.
He was in Star Trek also.
varškėsapkepas "What are little girls made of" Great episode and he was awesome in it.
Too bad he didn't make it as a serious actor as that was his dream.
Voice of The Hulk, 2nd Bigfoot in Six Million Dollar Man
My Dad took me to see this when I was a kid, great scene. Love watching this 😄 !!
Harvey was played by Ted Cassidy who is known as Lurch in The Addams Family and he does the narration for the intro and provided the Hulk's roars from The Incredible Hulk 1978 TV series with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno
One of the best movies ever!!! Although, cool hand luke wasn't too bad either.
