This is my favorite movie of all time and my family just returned from a trip to Zion and the Grand Canyon. I watched it again when we got back, but your short put everything in perspective. The fade in/outs also provided a nice feeling of how temporary life can be and how much I miss Paul Newman. Thank you for this...very well done!
If I didn’t have to work this is what I’d do, all these film locations. But I couldn’t do as good a job as you have done with this. Sometimes we have to allow ourselves a bit of escapism, and it’s true some of these scenes near brought a tear to my eye. It was just a film, but depending on where you were and where you were at in life when you first saw it, the characters and scenarios get etched so deeply into your mind. Were there ever two cowboys more handsome and cool as this pair? Legends both of them. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to share this with us all.
That's an amazing job, congratulations ! We may almost forget that these scenes were not filmed in 1900, when Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were alive, but only in 1969 (when Paul Newman was). However, 50 years have gone by, and it's moving to see that most barns, houses, rocks and even trees are still there.
Isn't it weird that in the scene where they top out after the climb, the dead tree they hop over is in the exact same spot, but the granite slab they walk by is now broken. Go figure...
this is fantastic, very well constructed, you got the angles and perspectives exactly matched to the movie. That jump by the stunt guys from the crane was done into the same lake where Charlton Heston goes swimming in "Planet of The Apes". !!
Having worked 25 years at 20th Century-Fox as both a writer and studio historian, I truly congratulate you on a first-class presentation... my only criticism is that you didn't make it long and more comprehensive enough! Whilst filming the jump scene by the river, you could've got some great shots of the Durango-Silverton train that was seen in the movie, that runs parallel to the river... that's an iconic ride in itself. Good photography and software editing... expand it out and this should be included on the bonus features on the next DVD Blu-Ray remastering.
Thanks for the kind words Graham. I visited these 3 sites on a family road trip, and I had only so much time at film locations before there would have been a family munity! I would like to extend it out - I've figured out where more of the chase was filmed in Snow Canyon State Park (where Butch cools down in a puddle), so next time I'm in Utah I plan on taking photos there. And you've got me thinking about the railway scenes - it should be fairly easy to figure out where the train explosion was filmed. And I'd love to go to Tlayacapan, Mexico, where the finale was filmed. Just need time and money! I've got some photo comparisons and videos from other projects at www.stoolboom.com if you're interested.
@@stoolboom6158 I well understand about trying to shoot on a family trip, folks can be impatient to move on whilst you're still trying to find the exact spot of a location... Speaking of which where was the exact spot of the "Jump" -was it near Baker or Trimble Bridge? You got a great photo of it. I believe the train hold-up was in a meadow close to Durango... had to be somewhere near a road to truck in all the film equipment. You know when my wife and I rode the Durango Silverton train both ways, it was part of a 4 state, 3,000mile trip from Los Angeles... six months in the planning with first stop Williams, where we rode the Grand Canyon Rails-to-the-Rim train; then Monument Valley staying I night each at Gouldings and the View hotels, hired Navajo guides to go off trail; then Moab -did the horse riding and the jet boat on the Colorado River; after Arizona and Utah it was on to Colorado... You should've checked out the original TRUE GRIT locations like we did, first the iconic shootout meadow, then the town of Ridgeway where the hanging was held, the Matty Ross ranch was nearby, and the courthouse was over in Ouray and it still looked the same, only now they remodeled it. But then we dropped down to Durango via the dangerous Million-Dollar highway... the train ride of course... Then down to Santa Fe, stopping at the Indian pueblo used in TWO FLAGS WEST... then onto my late friends Bonanza Creek Ranch... Yes, the very one Alec Baldwin just made a crime scene out of... Then heading West to Gallup and the famous El Rancho hotel used by numerous western crews... then onto Canyon De Chelly made famous in MCKENNA'S GOLD hired another Navajo guide to go deep in the canyon... after all that magnificent western scenery it was on to Sedona, where I did a tribute presentation on writer/producer/director Delmer Daves who shot three good pictures there BROKEN ARROW, 3:10 TO YUMA and Drum Beat -rode the Pink Jeeps to reach the locations. Yes, I am interested in how well you've put your videos together... we just have to talk I think, so grahamhill007@sbcglobal.net
It seems a lot of these old locations still survive in America, unlike the UK where they destroy them and tear everything down as fast as they can. Fcuked up country. Always enjoy filming locations for great movies. And a lot of work went into this, so thankyou.
This was so kool! My favorite movie. Does anyone know if the boys jump splash was film at the "rock pond" at Malibu creek? I'm curious because I go there occasionally. I'd like to know where the end jump was. Thanks.
Thanks! I took LOTS of photos of each scene location, trying to exactly match the movie camera location. I then did a lot of editing in photo and video editing software to create transition images between the movie and my photo. Think this video took me about 120 hours once I'd taken the photos.
Thanks! The bicycle scene is well known so that one was easy. I read online somewhere that the knife fight scene was at the western edge of Zion National Park, so I zoomed around in Google Earth till I found it. The jump scene - that was trickier. Everyone online says it was filmed at Baker's Bridge on the Animas River near Durango. But the terrain wasn't right. I used a combination of Google Earth and Pictometry (an oblique view photo service) to find it further up river. I've found a couple more scene locations that I'll add to the video next time I have a chance to visit them and take photos (the scene where Butch falls backward into a pool of water, and the traincar explosion scene)
@@stoolboom6158 That's great, thanks. How did you find the location at 6:10? It's such a narrow camera angle that you can't see the surrounding area. Were you able to pinpoint that using Pictometry or did you have to visit the general location and explore until you found it?
That one was pure luck. I knew it must be fairly close to where they top out after their climb. Looked around but couldn't find anything. Was about to give up when I realized I was standing right at that location...
@@stoolboom6158 That's terrific! You must have been very reluctant to give up having devoted so much time and effort to finding the locations and then you have that unexpected bonus! Sometimes, these lucky breaks happen. I live in the UK and I was visiting a particular location from A Clockwork Orange and unintentionally found another location from the film as I was making my way there! I don't know about you but whenever I visit a movie location, I half expect to see the actors there when I arrive... It hasn't happened yet, though!
The bicycle scene was filmed in Grafton, Th (37.167,-113.082). The knife fight was filmed at the western edge of Zion National Park (37.304,-113.095). The jump was filmed on the Animas River in southern Colorado. It involved getting access through private property, and the land owner asked I don't reveal the exact location.
Nope, there’s nothing to show it was filmed there. BTW there are other scenes nearby - when Butch falls backward into the pond was filmed in Snow canyon State Park. I’m going to add that scene and a couple others once I’ve had a chance to visit and take photos
@@stoolboom6158 I had no clue that scene was filmed in Snow Canyon! We are either going there this Saturday or next would you be able to give the location of it? Thanks for the information!! It’s much appreciated
I think the pond is at 37.213902,-113.645606 I don't have access to the screen shots right now, but pretty sure this is the spot. If not, it's really close. I'd be curious to see any photos you take of it. I don't know how often it has water in it

Really well executed, this must have been a lot of work. Great job on tracing those locations, take my hat off to that.
your work and effort cannot be praised enough, Thank you very much! from Roma, Cinecittà
This was absolutely fabulous. Thank you for all the work you put into this.
One of my favorite western movies. thanks from germany
Wonderful editing. Most entertaining. Thank you.
My favourite film of all time - thank you so much for this wonderful presentation. 👏🏼👏🏼
Unbelievably terrific! Stupendous!

That was amazing, I love these 'Now & Then' location clips. Thank you so much sir for all your hard work. :) Lee.UK :)
Incredible. They should create an Oscar just for this type of stuff!
This excellent work should get an award. I mean right on the button and nothing has changed really. Incredible.
Isn't it weird that in the scene where they top out after the climb, the dead tree they hop over is in the exact same spot, but the granite slab they walk by is now broken. Go figure...
This was really, really well done, and thanks for including the wonderful music from the movie.
Thanks! It's a lot of work but I love doing it. Working on a Walking Dead one right now.
Freaking awesome.
beautiful job for an amazing film
Outstanding video! Love the “then and now” locations. Props to you! Keep up the great work!
I find these sorts of videos fascinating. Very well done!

Wow love how you showed the then and now - very cleaver
Incredibly well done! Your editing is unparalleled - thank you!
So beautifully put together thank you so much I really appreciate. What I’d do to visit these places.
Really, really great video!! Please keep them coming.

Brilliant. When was this done if I could ask?
Thanks. I took the photos in late June 2019, and posted the video in March 2020.
Fun!!!
One of my favorite movie but I never understood the raindrops scenes, what do they have to do with the movie.
. . . It's all about the affection that
Butch and Etta shared ... try to keep up .
Once, I missed a landing
Astonishing!

One of the few movies that should NEVER be remade….who could ever fill the shoes of Newman and Redford
Well done really enjoyed this wanted to go to hole in the wall to look about but I cant go to the USA cause I went to prison 10 year ago for fighting

Hello, I live 20 minutes from Zion, I would love to see the knife fight location in person, could you tell me exactly where it is in Zion?
Sure, it's on the west side of the park, off Kolob Terrace Rd accessed near Virgin. 37°18'15.32"N, 113° 5'43.67"W
