“3 Bad Men”(1926) is considered an influence on Japanese director Akira Kurosawa’s “Three Bad Men in a Hidden Fortress”(1958)🇯🇵which in turn inspired George Lucas’s “Star Wars” series

Olive Borden AKA “The Joy Girl” began her career as a one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars of 1925. She would go on to act in approximately 65 films over the course of her 10yr film career.

Yeah… sorry about the use of racial slurs and cross burning and such in this. For all of the very good and cool things about this being a western from 1925, it’s still a western from 1925.

Compared to a lot of other John Ford westerns, this one really stands out to me b/c of the humorous parts

“3 Bad Men” (1926) would be John Ford’s final #SilentFilm western of the silent era. He wouldn’t direct another western until over a decade later with “Stagecoach” (1939)
