- Actually, 1 of those tags was an error. The need for more references is still valid (one is good, more would be better), but the intro length tag was a mistake. I meant the nofootnotes tag, which was valid at the time, but isn't anymore. The one reference is cited within the article, which is good.
Thanks; will do.
DVD Releases
editMore information referencing DVD for this film to follow; please hold challenges. trezjr (talk) 22:18, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
Expansion
editDoes anyone have the time to expand this article, especially the synopsis?
I created it in rather a hurry and the film sure deserves more type.
Similarity to "Bad Company" (1972)
editThe movie "The Spikes Gang" bears a striking similarity to the movie "Bad Company" (1972) with Jeff Bridges and Barry Brown in which a group of youngsters goes West looking for adventure and they get in trouble. Rip-off or "coincidence"? 209.77.230.59 (talk) 05:38, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
Anachronisms?
editI don't know what is the year in the movie, but let us suppose it is around 1880.
One of the boys says that he would not to take a tooth removal without nitrous oxide (laughing gas). Nitrous oxide has been used in dentistry and surgery, as an anaesthetic and analgesic, since 1844. But the boys live near a very small town in the west. How likely it is that they have ever heard about laughing gas?
They try to rob a bnak but the vault has a time lock. It was in 1873, using parts from locks and two kitchen clocks, James Sargent created the first time lock to be installed on a bank vault door. He personally connected the time lock to the vault door of the First National Bank in Morrison, Illinois, on May 26, 1874. How likely it is that a bank in a very small town in the west has a time lock? Vikitaattori (talk) 07:02, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
