The Bicycle Scene from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
from "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969) with paul newman as butch cassidy, katharine ross as etta place & robert redford as the sundance kid for a few seconds at the beginning & end "raindrops keep falling on my head" written by burt bacharach for this film specifically Paul Newman did his own bicycle stunts, after his stunt man was unable to stay on the bike, except for the scene where Butch crashes backwards into the fence, which was performed by cinematographer Conrad L. Hall. /IMdB/ Katharine Ross enjoyed shooting the silent, bicycle riding sequence best, because it was handled by the film crew's second unit rather than the director. She said, "Any day away from George Roy Hill was a good one." /IMdB/

Butch Cassidy and his girlfriend ride on a bicycle while you play unfitting music.

I just love this scene <3 It is by far one of the most beautiful and memorable scenes in cinema history
Bravo!
the instrumental break at the end is etched into my brain from whence i was small tyke…….. i find myself whistling this when im running around work…….sometimes people pick up on the tune
@animatedevey12 I’d love to have a woman ride on my bike, especially Katherine Ross
@animatedevey12 Perhaps he’ll read your comment and return from the grave to give you a bicycle ride.
@mitchybalboa2 cool story bro tell another
名作中の名作の一番の名シーンですね。
名曲「雨に濡れても」が効果的に使われています。
大好きな映画のなかの一番印象に残るシーンですね。
Está cena marcou minha infância. Buth Cassidy, é um dos filmes que me inspiraram a ser escritor. Obrigado por postar.
Great movie. One of my favorites!
Cheers from Sweden!
NAO TEM CENA MAIS LINDA DO Q. ESSA ! INESQUECÍVEL !
But it is not raining in this clip of the movie! I did wish that the bull would have gotten those two at the end.
2:35 now thats how you do PLANKING!
sorry if someone’s mentioned this but they did this scene in the Simpsons with Homer and Marge….. I finally got the reference….. lol
classic!
I love what Newman said about his Bitch, ‘Why have endless braindead whores every night who could suck a basketball through a straw when I have a hot ass bitch at home who cooks me a fine steak when I demand it?’ The guy was a friggin’ legend I tells ya.
Thanks Whyis6 for one of the best scene of cinema history! Great moment! The bicycle scene gives me the smile all long during these 5 minutes! It’s only of happiness! Thank you again!
Why the heck?… Why’d they kill them-off at the end. I wish they were still alive..
“Hey… Wha are you doing?”
“Stealing your woman.”
*scratches his arse*
“Take her.”
animatedevey12….Paul Newman…my name is Paul, but I’m no Newman!!!! I just like what you wrote…..a romantic woman is very,very rare!!!!!
what a beautiful movie!
Early television comedy..Who Knew…
The thing that I can’t figure out is…WTF is Allen doing with the jacket? Did he piss himself? Have half a woody…or what?
hes really not funny. hes quite a dickhead. i bet zappa was like take this bitch! in your faace! when he became highly noticed.
alot of talent in that duet!
Frank Zappa was a very eccentric musician and outspoken individual. The Steve Allen Show was great for early rock musicians – before Ed Sullivan, etc.
Steve Allen was smart and funny and knew how to share the brilliant Frank Zappa with the American audience. This was before people knew Zappa – and the fact that Allen even had him on the show is a testament to how interested he was Zappa’s creativity. Steve Allen’s style and the expectation of what he’d deliver was about commentary and punch lines. Zappa’s just getting started! You can hear his wit in understatement. Zappa had so many gifts.
Science!
It is a combination of comic and musical genius. Allen never once actually mocked Zappa and graciously complimented his vision when they were done. Compare this to any bit on the modern day late night shows and you will notice that Allen gives this 3 times the segment that any artist would get today. This is pretty cool.
@timmy54416trey …….Allen was anything.but an asshole(as you say). The premise was totally stupid, yet Allen played right along. Steve Allen was a very, bright, intelligent, quick and funny guy. He helped make the absurd premise actually funny and fit into the concept of the show. If, Zappa was their by himself banging on the bicycle, nobody would think it’s a funny bit!!!
Allen was brilliant–a really quick mind. Who else could make such cacophony funny?
THIS IS REALLY WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GENIOUS MEETS GENIOUS.
@kenwahman well i mean…to be honest elvis was a talentless hack, the blacks the decade before elvis hit it big where already doing what he was doing. Elvis was the king of Copy not the king of rock, shit half his music isnt even rock its rock-a-billy or country…
“You can’t write a chord ugly enough to say what you want to say sometimes, so you have to rely on a giraffe filled with whipped cream.” -fz
Great googly moogly!
allen was a good sport also gave zappa exposure
haha steve allen was such an empty suit…he had no idea that he was mocking one of the great musical minds of the 20th century
I’m sure if you’d asked him what he thought would become of “the kid who played the bike” he’d laugh at you…and I’m sure that opinion changed dramatically later in his life
I love how they constantly pronounce Zappa wrong
Hello there music appreciator. I know this looks like spam But PLEASE HEAR ME OUT
-Do bluesy bands likes Zeppelin, Floyd, Joplin, Doors, Hendrix, and The Who give you chills? Are you physically attracted to seeking truth in music? Well I am formally inviting you to take a listen to my channel, Using your open mind take the time to hear my tunes.. your subscribtion to my channel will help me show the world my music. Much Love.
@rogo2043 i’m glad somebody mentioned Partch……hey, when ya think about it, this wouldn’t have sounded out-of-place at a Tom Waits concert!!
“How long you been playin’ bike?” “Two weeks”
Perfect.
I like 2:45 when FZ hints you’ll know of me from next week!!! Too true, he only turned out to be one of the biggest musical genius’s to date.. Go Frank!
in Spite of Allens drawbacks (and is it really that different than the current crop of late nite hosts?) he always pushed the envelope as far as guests; Lenny, Dylan etc etc… Steve delivered what was then the weirdest most bohemian stuff available… one of the regulars on the show was an LA street guy named Gypsy Boots who looked like Charlie Manson
Frank proved then, he could get more sound out of a bicycle than most new bands today
@citizenterryk Who is Steverino and FZ? Do they sell their own tit glue too?
@ShitFromShinolla well, that’s as good an explanation as any!!……oh, the enlightenment i receive by being a YouTube addict!!…….a story like that may well have made you a candidate to be one of Steverino’s guests way back when(or for that matter, to tour with FZ)……..peace!!
