Gunslingerettes line up for the atrocity exhibition.

Bad Girls is directed by Jonathan Kaplan from a screenplay by Ken Friedman and Yolande Turner. It stars Madeleine Stowe, Mary Stuart Masterson, Andie MacDowell and Drew Barrymore. The plot sees the four girl actors playing prostitutes on the run following a justifiable homicide and a hanging escape. Suffice to say that they get into scrapes & double crosses whilst being pursued by the Pinkertons.

Being asked to suspend disbelief is one thing, being force fed drivel masquerading as pro-feminism is entirely another. Bad Girls is a mess of a movie, an insult to the Western genre, to the fans of the lady actors, to the lady actors themselves, who simply deserve much much better and arguably worst of all – to women in general. The script is laughable, serving only as an excuse for the gals to sling those guns and hips when possible, whilst being abused and saved by “men”, while the plotting is by the numbers as everything falls into place readily. There’s even slow-mo shots where they serve no purpose of enhancement. Throw into the mix that three of the ladies look nothing like on the run outlaws, all shine and span and make up with nice hair (Masterson the exception as she has a modicum of believability about her), well it’s rather a depressing experience all told. Sure, as a red blooded guy I’m not going to be turned off by Barrymore’s shapely thighs adorned in white stockings, or Stowe’s truly gorgeous face, but when the highlights of a “girl” Western is something that’s only aesthetically sexy for men, then they clearly have got it wrong.

So what’s the justification for it being so bad? Well the back story offers up the answer. Film was meant to be directed by a woman, Tamra Davis (erm-Billy Madison & Crossroads), but she was jettisoned a couple of weeks into production. The plan with Davis at the helm was for it to be a Western told from a female point of view. However, Kaplan (The Accused/Unlawful Entry) was brought in quickly and the screenplay rewritten in a hurry. And boy does it show. Technically it’s a duffer too, Jerry Goldsmith’s score is cheap in texture and Jane Kurson’s editing is choppy to say the least. There’s no eye catching cinematography (Ralf D. Bode), while the acting away from the script hindered girls (ie: the men), is either a waste of time them being in it (Nick Chinlund) or badly directed (James Russo). While Dermot Mulroney seems only to exist as being a link to Young Guns – the “boy” version that this is clearly trying to ride the coat tails in on. If you want a good Western about the girls fighting the good fight then seek out George Marshall’s 1957 film The Guns Of Fort Petticoat. It’s a fun movie that at least has believable women fighting back under duress. Bad Girls, tho, is just bad in every department. 2/10

_**Not so bad cowgirls**_

In 1891, four prostitutes in Echo City, Colorado (Madeleine Stowe, Andie MacDowell, Mary Stuart Masterson and Drew Barrymore), flee the law with Pinkertons hot on their trail. Eventually they have to tangle with a band of Hispanic outlaws to retrieve some money.

“Bad Girls” (1994) is a Western with cowgirls as the protagonists rather than cowboys. It combines the tone of “Silverado” (1985) and the later “The Mask of Zorro” (1998) so anyone who likes those flicks will probably like this one even if it’s arguably the least of ’em.

The Western staples are checked with a saloon brouhaha, a lynch mob, a posse, Pinkerton detectives, a swimmin’ hole scene, steam locomotives, a handsome hero (Dermot Mulroney), magnificent Western vistas, a bank robbery, a mirthful Latino bandit (James Russo) and the four heroes grimly walking side-by-side to the showdown. Yet there are a few original elements as well if you look closely.

While all four of the stars are beautiful in their unique way, young Drew stands out and is just stunning. Speaking of the females, occupations & freedom were limited to women in the Old West, and the movie effectively drives this home.

People usually cite the available professions as marriage, school-marming, prostitution and old biddy-hood. But what about clerking of one manner or another? What about entertainment, like at local saloons, traveling troupes and Old West Shows? What about writing, like Harriet Beecher Stowe? What about ranch-owning? In other words, there were more options, but women had to use their imagination and take a bold step. The four heroines in “Bad Girls” are up to the task.

Like the two Westerns noted above, this one takes the larger-than-life, mythmaking approach rather than shoot for anything very believable. If you can roll with that, it fills the bill, just not as well as “The Mask of Zorro” or “American Outlaws” (2001).

The opening act wrongly paints the Christians marching in Echo City as enemies when, in real life, they would be the very people trying to help the protagonists out of the miserable bondage of prostitution, which all four wanted free from in the first place. While I understand people’s issues with life-stifling legalists, depicting the trampling of the Bible is gross ignorance.

The movie runs 1 hour, 39 minutes, and was shot at Alamo Village, Brackettville, Texas , and nearby Del Rio, as well as Red Hills Ranch, Sonora, California, and nearby Sierra Railroad, Jamestown.

GRADE: C+

“I’ve shown you mine, you show me yours”.
My summary line sounds a lot more risqué than it actually is. Turns out Kid Jarrett (James Russo) was talking about his hostage McCoy (Dermot Mulroney), while Cody Zamora’s (Madeleine Stowe) offer in trade was a new fangled Gatling gun. So all you readers with a dirty mind, you don’t have to go back and look it up.

Quite out of habit now, I enable captioning while watching movies because even though I got hearing aids recently, I’ve realized that sometimes the person doing the captioning will go out on a limb and have some fun at the expense of his employer. (See my review for “The Telegraph Trail”). In this picture, there was a scene in which the Pinkerton Detectives were questioning Josh McCoy, and the term was used twice, but captioning had it as ‘Peckerton Ditinctives’. Once might have been a goof, but someone, somewhere had to work at being consistent. If you’re watching this flick on Encore Westerns, check it out for yourself before someone is called to task for it.

Tell you what, I like it when a story line has their principals stay in character at the expense of personal safety. This one had two neat touches, the first was when McCoy shot Frank Jarrett (Robert Loggia) for bad mouthing McCoy’s mother; the other was when Lilly (Drew Barrymore) shot scumbag Ned (Neil Summers) for being just that, a scumbag. Both instances were problematic for completing the mission, but turned out well enough for the good guys, should say gals, to come out on top.

So maybe not the most credible of Western movies, but kind of entertaining in it’s own way. The female leads are in it for their eye candy appeal, with Drew Barrymore taking top honors in that particular department. That they started out as harlots working an Echo City ‘parlor house’ didn’t seem all that credible once the action started, since virtually every close-up of the girls was carefully framed to highlight their glamorous looks. In Barrymore’s case, the camera guy probably needed a cold shower between takes.
