Did You Know?
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.

User Review
TWO LEGS BAD!!!!!!
Rating:
Agreed, the acting could have been a bit less melodramatic but the actresses
concerned did a good job when they weren't looking like supermodels.
The trick about it was "they had to look good" and they did look good.
Madeleine Stowe's "Cool Cody", Andie McDowell's Elegant Eileen, Mary Stuart
Masterson's "Arch Anita", and Drew Barrymore's tomboyish "Li'l Lilly", were
fetching and gave rise to Girl Power credence.
I couldn't take my eyes off Barrymore who had come a long since E.T. and her
drug/alcohol fuelled periods of teen angst/pain.
The fight at the end in the corral blew me away, those girls proved they
could outshoot anything on two legs!!!
