This chapter examines the conflict between Hal Ashby and Producers Sales Organization (PSO) over the film 8 Million Ways to Die. It discusses the PSO's confiscation of the footage from Bob Lawrence and Ashby to have the editing done by new editors. It also describes the legal battle that followed after PSO decided to dismiss Ashby from the editing job. It also highlights some of the misguided editorial choices that could have been improved by Ashby.
