Powerful

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

This silly story of four sexy hookers on western take a ride in "the Quick and the Dead" which had more best reviews,Bad Girls use a sexual oriented direction,but not too seriously,surviving on this sexploitation kind,one best scenes when Drew Barrymore as Lilly try seduce the Deputy to distract him to your mates have enough time to set free Eileen from the jail....best scene of the picture,the bad guy played by James Russo is a crap with all gang members,anyway the movie summarize on sexual appeal from the four bad girls!!Resume:First watch: 1996 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 6.25

It's a western thus the most restricted genre in movie: it's one location at an exact time: the Wild Wild West during the 19th. Technoclogy is lacking, horses are the only way of traveling, the daily life is harsh, homes are rusty, dusty.So it's not vacations and unless a great idea or great talent, when you see 1 western, you have seen all! Here, the surprise would be that the main characters are 4 strong willed women, bound together by their cruel past of male domination. To affirm themselves, they got to beat a vile bandit! But, the trick doesn't work: The bandit is dull and boring and the bad girls are rare: Madeleine Stowe is the only one, having a grumpy face the entire movie! The others are rather kind, especially MacDowell.In conclusion, I prefer "Bandidas»!

....have more fun. Bad Girls is about four "soiled doves," Cody Zamora, (Madeline Stowe,) Anita Crown, (Mary Stuart Masterson,) Eileen Spenser, (Andie McDowell,) and Lily Laronette, (Drew Barrymore. Anita's abused by a client, and her friends promptly shoot him. Cody's almost lynched but they make good their escape, and meet up with Josh, a prospector on his way to Oregon to stake his claim. Meanwhile, the Pinkertons, in the form of detectives O'Brady, and Graves, are hired by Colonel Clayborne's widow to find them because she has a very low opinion of the law in the town. Cody, Anita, Eileen, and Lily, are in another town, where Cody tries to withdraw her money from the bank. Kid Jarret, an outlaw, and his gang, rob the bank, taking Cody's money, which totals over $12,000. Cody goes after Kid and finds his hideout. She meets Kid's father, who stole Josh's father's claim, and whom Josh wants did. Cody's beaten by Kid, and brought back to town. Will, a poor rancher, is deputized, by the town marshal, and is taken in by Eileen, who was left behind by Cody, Anita, and Lily, when she couldn't mount her horse. Lily's taken by Kid and held hostage. Kid plans to steal a shipment of Army rifles, and a Gatling gun. Anita, who's a widow, has a homesteading claim in Oregon, but can't make good on it because her husband's dead. Kid wants to have Lily as the gang's personal whore. Kid and his gang steal the shipment of Army rifles, and the Gatling gun, and Cody, Anita, and Eileen, steal the Army rifles and Gatling gun, from Kid and his gang. They also take Kid's father, whom they plan to trade for Lily. Josh kills Kid's father and they go to Kid's hideout to rescue Lily. Cody, Anita, and Eileen, rescue Lily and shoot up Kid's hideout. Kid's out of ammunition so Cody takes a bullet from her Winchester rifle, gives it to him, and tells him to shoot and die like a man. OUCH! THAT WAS COLD! I've always wanted to say this so here goes, Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Eileen helps Will pitch hay to his stock, and confesses to him that she's not from New Orleans. Her father was a dirt rancher from East Texas and she wanted to marry a rich man but all she ended up with was a broken heart. Cody gives Will some of her money so he can pay the mortgage on the ranch. Then Cody, Anita, and Lily, head for the Klondike. In Oklahoma, Graves asks a homesteader if he's seen her, and he says no. She's probably far away by now. This, as she and her two friends, are riding north. A good movie.

I think I could have enjoyed Bad Girls a little better if I felt that ladies, particularly in the west were pathetic, helpless victims of the boorish, stupid, chauvinistic men.Oh well, I really enjoyed the fairly realistic town scenes and particularly the talent of the ladies....Drew Barrymore was quite fetching if not (like the rest of the movie).. even remotely....believable.I'd watch these ladies do just about anything....but riding horses, shooting guns, in bawdy western wear, corsets.... was pure entertainment "on the hoof".The gritty lines were as good as I've ever heard...even the old widow of the dead officer whore monger...."bag of manure"...good stuff.Beautiful scenery....human AND location.
