[That's what I get for missing staff meetings!] I just finished reading the novel of STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK and an incredibly minor detail is driving me crazy (maybe its just a short walk). When the ENTERPRISE is making its break from Starbase, Uhura stays behind to jam all the communication channels. This is what prevents other starships from intercepting Kirk and crew. One of the things she does is to mix in TV shows, old movies, and other entertainment into Starfleet communications. One of the lines we hear is from an "old movie": "Who ARE those guys?!?" Is this just some trivial line or does it have some significance? I seem to remember it from somewhere but I can't place it. Anyone got any ideas?

#R:abnjh:-72700:uokvax:5800029:000:427 uokvax!dewey Jul 8 11:54:00 1984 I believe the line: "Who are those Guys" comes from "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" This was repeated in the scenes where Paul Newman Robert Redford were being chased by the posse that jumped out of the train following the one that they blew up......Significance of this statement, well the Enterprise got blown up, and maybe the posse is on the way......

As I recall, the line "Who ARE those guys?" appears in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Of course, for all I know, they got it from somewhere else. Paul Hilfinger Hilfinger@Berkeley ucbvax!hilfingr

"When the ENTERPRISE is making its break from Starbase, Uhura
stays behind to jam all the communication channels. This is
what prevents other starships from intercepting Kirk and crew.
One of the things she does is to mix in TV shows, old movies,
and other entertainment into Starfleet communications. One of
the lines we hear is from an "old movie":
"Who ARE those guys?!?"
"Is this just some trivial line or does it have some
significance? I seem to remember it from somewhere but I can't
place it. Anyone got any ideas?"
The line is from the movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." It is
spoken several times while the title characters are trying to elude a
posse that they just can't seem to shake.

The line "Who *are* those guys?" was uttered more than once by Redford and/or Newman in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". It referred to the posse tracking them. It was better than Gene Wilder's "son of a bitch!" in "Silver Streak". -- Roger Noe ihnp4!ihlts!rjnoe

"Who are those guys?" is a quote from the movie Butch
Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. "Those guys" refers to a posse
which Butch and Sundance were having difficulty eluding.

I think the reference is to the comments between Butch and Sundance during their run from the posse. John Testa UCSD Chem sdccs6!ix241

"Who ARE those guys?!?" Why, none other than the posse tracking Paul Newman and Robert Redford in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". - Ralph Droms
tbare@tsca.UUCP (07/10/84)
the line, "who ARE those guys?" came from butch cassidy and the sundance kid, starring robert redford and paul newman. they had robbed a train, and were being tracked down by the greatest posse of lawmen every assembled. no matter watch butch and sundance tried to do, they couldn't seem to shake the posse, which prompted them to say more than once, "who ARE those guys?" barry tbare@sri-nic.arpa

Darn it! Now its driving me crazy!!!!
It's from a recent movie....Ghostbusters comes to mind, but I don't
think that's it.

It's probably from the "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" movie. Butch
and Sundance kept saying "Who ARE those guys?" about the Pinkerton detectives
who were following them who they just could not seem to get rid of.

#R:abnjh:-72700:uiucuxc:19800022:000:260 uiucuxc!rcook Aug 4 11:04:00 1984 does anybody ever think to read responses before they reply with an answer?? I have now heard 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' 6 times. Can you people first check if a question has been answered before cluttering up the net with redundant answers???????
