They all start out as prostitutes, as Cody (Stowe) shoots a drunken colonel who attempts to molest Anita (Masterson). She is about to be lynched for defending her friend when the other "bad girls" ride in and rescue her, pursued by detectives. The rest of the film follows their adventures as they get caught up in hostage situations, bank robberies, shootouts, and romantic interludes with handsome young cowboys with never a hair out of place or an unsightly smudge of Western dust. Amazingly, all four former prostitutes are able to ride, shoot, rope, and fight as well. Bad Girls is not likely to be thought of as a realistic view of how women lived in the Old West. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
It's the usual combo of high concept and low execution, and not even Jonathan Kaplan's background as an exploitation director can bail him out.
-
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
A tale about women in the West is a good idea for a genre that's been male-dominated, but not in Kaplan's shallow picture that looks like a fashion spread.
-
Scott Weinberg, DVDTalk.com
Frankly, if this flick is somebody's idea of "pro-woman," my guess is that that certain "somebody" probably doesn't know all that many women.

James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette
Great-looking leads in a silly showcase

Fred Topel, About.com
Boring Western. Could be empowering, but it's not.
