★★★★★ · Johnny Mack Brown in Good Form in "Bar-Z Bad Men" · porterville · 2011-05-08
Lois January again plays the romantic female lead in a very good "B" western. The plot is standard, but progresses nicely to a satisfactory conclusion. Johnny Mack Brown continues to do well in these westerns. The high rating is based on the year it was released and in comparison with lesser westerns of the middle and late 1930's.
★★ · Johnny Mack Brown Conquers the Bar-Z Bad Men · Poohbah70 · 2019-11-19
An average western with a typical plot staring that fun-loving cowboy Johnny Mack Brown (Jim Waters). As usual in westerns, the star falls in love with the cutie Lois January (Beth Harvey) right away, although it takes her a little time to fall for him. Frank LaRue (Hamp Harvey) is okay as January's framed father. Perennial westerns' bad guys Tom London (Sig Bostell), henchman Ernie Adams (Pete) and Dick Curtis (Henderson) sort of go through the motions here - okay, but not up to par. Its a 57 minute film according to IMDb - we get 51 minutes here.
