    • Quotes

      Belle Starr: Coleman Younger! Seems like you folks are havin' a real nice party in there.

      Cole Younger: I expect so, with free food and drink and all.

      Belle Starr: How come I wasn't invited?

      Cole Younger: 'Cause you're a whore, Belle.

      Belle Starr: I might be; but at least I ain't a cheap one.

    • Alternate versions
      UK video and DVD versions were cut by 4 secs by the BBFC to edit a horse-fall. Although the BBFC's website states that the 1986 video version was cut by 1 minute 35 secs, this seems to be erroneous.

    A Very Different Western
    In the Missouri, after the civil war, the James & Younger gang steals banks and trains, and are chased by the Pinkertons. This movie is a very different western, showing the outlaws as human beings, having families, raising children. Walter Hill uses the Carredine, Quaid and Keach brothers in real life to perform the former bandits and it is a great attraction in this film. The music, arranged and composed by Ry Cooder, fits perfectly to the story. However, the characters are not well developed, maybe because of the quantity of lead actors versus the running time, and the story loses the explanation of the motives for the behavior of the bandits, being cruel while robbing and very close to their families, being good sons, husbands and friends. Anyway, the performance of the cast is excellent and the movie does not disappoint. My vote is seven.

    Title ('Brazil'): 'Cavalgada dos Proscritos' (Ride of the Proscribes')
