Unlike many Westerns, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is not overly violent. There are some shooting scenes, but the movie is mostly focused on the debacles that Butch Cassidy and Sundance get themselves into. In the beginning of the film Butch and Sundance encounter many situations that could have turned into a big shooting scene but they don’t.
