Goofs
One of the characters refers to the ten of spades as the death card. Most card readers/ fortune tellers refer to the ace of spades as the death card. The ten of spades is most often interpreted as indicating a journey (though, to be fair, death could be seen as a journey).

Western stories are one of my best enjoyments, however, Bad Lands 1939 just did not hold my attention at all, the only two actors in this film who carried the picture on their backs were, Noah Beery Jr.,(Chick Layman) "Riverboat" '59 TV Series, who was the son of veteran actor Wallace Berry. The other actor, John Payne (Apache Jack) "Tin Pan Alley '40 who was a singer in many film musicals in the 20's. John Payne and Noah Beery were just starting out in their film career's and if you like these actors, the film is worth watching.
