Trivia:

The car that the real Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow met their fate in is currently on display (along with Barrow's bullet-riddled shirt) in Primm Valley Hotel and Casino in Primm, NV, 20 miles outside of Las Vegas near the California border. The prop car used in the film was displayed as part of a "Bonnie and Clyde" diorama at Planet Hollywood Dallas, in Dallas, TX. The Planet Hollywood in Dallas closed in 2001 and the car is now owned by a private collector.

Goofs:

Continuity: During the frustrated love scene on the bed, after he kisses Bonnie, Clyde turns to his back and puts his left hand on his chest. Next shot he takes his left hand from her breast.

Quotes:

Clyde Barrow: I don't think he's lost. I think the bank's been offerin' extra reward money for us. I think Frank just figured on some easy pickin's, didn't ya Frank? You're no Texas Ranger. You're hardly doin' your job. You ought to be home protectin' the rights of poor folk, not out chasin' after us!

An Extremely Great Movie! A Classic!

The life and times of Clyde Barrow (Warren Beatty) Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway) and their gang (Michael J. Pollard, Gene Hackman, Estelle Parsons), the people who rob banks.

Hot damn! What a movie. I don't know where to start. Of course, the acting is top-notch, and the directing is too.

It's a roller-coaster of emotions. You get sad, happy, thrilled, excited, romanced, and than start over in a wonderful whirlwind of greatness.

It's a movie almost anyone can enjoy. There's romance, action, violence, some comedy (Gene Wilder's in this!) so there's something for everybody.

I'm telling you, you will enjoy this!
