Although knives aren’t featured throughout it, I can’t resist mentioning [Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Garrett_and_Billy_the_Kid), [Sam Peckinpah](http://badassdigest.com/2013/03/10/the-badass-hall-of-fame-sam-peckinpah/)’s last film (and almost forgotten which is a shame). This gives me a chance to turn people on to it (the full version, not the butchered one). Where else can you [see Bob Dylan use a knife](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gILYTdqqCo0) the way you imagined you could when you were a kid? Or a teen. Or a juvenile delinquent. In the ‘Old West’. You tell me, eh? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movies-where-knives-are-prominently-featured/694792.md?page=2)
