Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored.

Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry The real name of Butch Cassidy's gang was The Wild Bunch. The name in the film was changed to The Hole in the Wall Gang, to avoid any confusion with the film "The Wild Bunch" which was released only months earlier. [Not true. "Hole in the Wall" was name of the town where Butch and Sundance made their base of operations. Contemporaneous news sources referred to them as both "the Wild Bunch" and also the "Hole in the Wall gang", in fact, there are some that even bill them as "the Wild Bunch Hole in the Wall Gang".]
Time
Entry Robert Redford was originally cast as Butch and Paul Newman as Sundance. Shortly before principal photography began, a crew member suggested they switch roles. [This is directly refuted by screenwriter William Goldman's book "Adventures in Screen Trade" which states that Newman was always Butch, the question was whether Sundance would be played by Redford or Steve McQueen.]
Time
Entry At one point, Butch Cassidy loads two six shooters, and fires more than twelve shots. [Butch Cassidy only fires repeatedly in one scene, the first time he kills anyone, and in that scene he does not fire more than 12 shots.]
Time
Entry Butch Cassidy's real name was Robert Leroy Parker and The Sundance Kid's real name was Harry Longabaugh (both are mentioned in the film). [Then they don't need to be mentioned here, do they.]
