uebetan12 is right, the Sundance Kid is a real person in American History. His real name is Harry Longabaugh and his biography could be found here: http://americanhistory.about.com/library/weekly/aa061602a.htm

An excerpt:

Quote

Harry A. Longabaugh made a huge mistake: he got caught stealing a horse in Sundance, Wyoming and was thrown in jail. He might have lost his innocence, but he gained a name and a place in history. He became known as 'The Sundance Kid'.

Born in 1867 in Pennsylvania, Longabaugh was not long in making his way West. In fact, he was only 15 when he began his journey on a covered wagon with his cousin George. By 1887, however, things were not going so well for him. He stole a horse, gun, and saddle from a ranch in Sundance, Wyoming and fled. However, he was captured and sentenced to 18 months in jail.

After his release, he went back to working as a ranchhand. Unfortunately, the life of an honest cowboy did not suit him. He was implicated in 1892 in a train robbery, and again in 1897 in a bank robbery along with five other men. Sundance became associated with a group known as the 'Wild Bunch' which included his famous partner Robert Leroy Parker, a.k.a. Butch Cassidy. By 1900, they held up the Winnemucca National Bank in Nevada and then headed for South America with their proceeds, all the while being pursued by Pinkertons.

Hehe... I'm not too sure about being a "geek" but I do like trivia... speaking of which:
The love theme from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) was the Burt Bacharach-Hal David song (performed by BJ Thomas): "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" which won the Best Song Oscar in 1970. The same song was used in the soundtracks of 2 other popular films:
1] Forrest Gump (1995)
2] Spiderman 2 (2004)

lifeboat's hitchcock right? another good catch sir! siguro galing din ang look for this release coz the steelbook's surface seems to look like carbon fiber material (like the ones they use in mountain bikes).
