Wild Rovers is a 1971 film by Blake Edwards.

Originally intended as a three-hour epic, it was heavily edited and changed by the studio without Edwards' knowledge, including a reversal of the ending from a negative one to a positive. Edwards disowned the finished film as released, and later satirised his battle with the studio in his comedy "S.O.B.". Most of the deleted footage was restored for the film's 1986 home video release by MGM/UA. The film has yet to receive a DVD release.
