Trivia:

Tamra Davis started as director of this film, with a script written by Yolande Turner and Becky Johnston. A few weeks into filming, the production company became unhappy with the direction the film was taking. They shut down production, replaced Davis with Jonathan Kaplan, had the script rewritten and sent the four main actresses off to "cowboy camp" to learn how to shoot, rope and ride.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: After Kid takes Cody's money out of the bust of her dress, it can still be seen coming out of the bust line of her dress when she is getting onto the horse after Kid has left.

Quotes:

Eileen: [Anita rides off] Where's she going?
Cody Zamorra: Probably just riding off the anger.
Eileen: She picked a fine time to have a fit, if it were she in trouble, Lily would be the first one to help her.

fun entertainment...beautiful ladies

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.
