This is an iconic, artistic, though largely historically inaccurate, film by one of our best, though sometimes controversial, directors. Included in this set is, not only the originally-released theater version, but also the "director's cut," which is a preview version used by the studio to evaluate how they would like to treat the film before release. This version includes additional scenes not included in the final, release version. The set also includes informative documentaries which give insights into some of the personalities and situations involved in the making of this film. Not only is it a very good piece of cinema, it also includes a unique soundtrack, written and performed by one of our most iconic composer/performers (his only soundtrack if memory serves me), who also has a major role in the film. One particular song had such commercial success on the pop music charts that it has been recorded by a number of top artists. Its crowning feature, however, is probably the appearances of almost every major character actor to appear in modern Western films. An iconic film by an iconic director, with an iconic cast and iconic soundtrack. It doesn't get much better than that.Read full review

This is James Coiburn at his best. And Kristofferson is surprisingly good as Billy. Bob Dylan, while not giving an award-worthy performance was a nice touch. This movie flows well and is sprinkled here and there with subtle humor. At least, I thought so. I did not become enamored with any of the characters. They all had their dark sides. I respected that because I'm thinking the real people potrayed in this film were similarly not likeable.

This is my favorite "Billy the Kid" movie of all time and is on my all time best movie list. One of the best soundtracks ever, with Bob Dylan doing the music, he also made his acting debut in this film.

Great cast. Bunch of old time cowboy stars, contemporaries from the 70’s, plus Dylan & Kristofferson. Musical score is a keeper.
