After years of robbing and scheming, a feud between Butch and Sundance leads to mistrust and betrayal, jeopardizing the largest heist of the century.
Directed and co-written (with Geoffrey Mead, who plays Kid Curry) by Anthony C. Ferrante, Butch vs. Sundance is the sequel to another Tubi Original, Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch. This time, Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid become enemies when Sundance is offered a deal to betray Cassidy in order to have his crimes erased.
Bruce Dern returns as Mike Cassidy and -- the highlight for me -- is the returning villain Pinkerton Detective Charles Siringo, who is played by Jeffrey Combs. The woman who is coming between the former partners, Etta Place, is played by Nikki Leigh.
Shot in New Mexico at the same time as the first film, this certainly won't replace any of the Sergio Leone or Sergio Corbucci movies in my heart, but it certainly moves quickly and has some thrilling train-based robbery scenes. There are also enough double, triple and maybe even quadruple crosses in this to keep you guessing right until the end.
