Trivia

Paul Newman's charity for children with serious medical conditions is named Hole in the Wall Camp after Butch's gang.

The song "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" was written after the rough cut was completed, and when Robert Redford first saw it in the movie, he thought it was terrible. The agents for singer B.J. Thomas regretted letting him do it, and thought it would ruin his career.

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." This was after she had been scolded and banned from the set by Hill for operating a camera, even though cinematographer Conrad Hall, who Ross was dating, invited her to do it. Hall wasn't punished by Hill for letting her.

In order to get the shot of the "super posse" jumping out of the train on their horses, the door on the opposite side of the train car was left open and a ramp placed out of view on that side of the train. In real life, the horses would not have had room in the train car to make such a dramatic leap.

Paul Newman sawed George Roy Hill's desk in half "because he wouldn't pay his bill for liquor which he borrowed from my office."
