Return of the Badmen is a crazy but a fun B western. It is a bit clichéd as Randolph Scott plays Vance Cordell a retired Texas Ranger hoping to settle down in Oklahoma which is just ripe for a land rush.
The very best of outlaws are planning to just exactly that, a land grab as they converge to cause havoc. Led by the mean Sundance Kid (Robert Ryan) a world away from Robert Redford's portrayal. The outlaws also include Billy the Kid, the Younger Brothers, the Daltons, Wild Bill Yeager, Wild Bill Doolin. Vance manages to get one of the female outlaws to mend her ways and it also leads him to fight off two female admirers.
Vance becomes a Marshall in order to take down the brutish Sundance Kid with a one on one fist fight.
A likable, undemanding western.
