Appearance in Literature and Cinema
Curry appears as a character in Mr American by George MacDonald Fraser. The novel, set in 1909, uses the controversy surrounding Curry's death to portray him as surviving the shootout near Parachute and later tracking the novel's protagonist, Mark Franklin, to England, where Curry attempts to kill Franklin.
Ted Cassidy played Kid Curry / Harvey Logan in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Ben Murphy portrayed a fictionalized Kid Curry in the 1970s television show Alias Smith and Jones.
The Mythbusters tested the claim that Logan could drop a silver dollar off his hand and then draw and fire five shots from his revolver before it hit the ground. They found the claim to be highly unlikely.
