Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973) VHS Big Box - Sam Peckinpah - MGM/UA 1982 - Bob Dylan - Used

Used / Pre-owned — condition as shown in images. Please refer to all photos carefully before purchasing.

A rare early pressing of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973) on VHS in the original MGM/UA Home Video large format big box clamshell — the early 1980s big box format that is now highly sought after by VHS collectors. Directed by Sam Peckinpah, with an iconic soundtrack by Bob Dylan.

Importantly, the interior cast sheet confirms this is presented as the original motion picture version — significant because the theatrical release was re-edited without Peckinpah’s consent. This early MGM/UA pressing of the original cut is a genuine collector’s piece.
