Does anybody remember what I am guessing could have been a remake of this film from the 1980s? If not a remake, then it was certainly based on the Starkweather/Fugate story. I seem to recall the film being told from the perspective of the Starkweather character, and it beginning with him about to face the electric chair. I forget the name of the Starkweather character, although I remember the Fugate character was named Laura Ferguson (something that sticks in my mind because I had recently left school and there had been a Laura Ferguson in my class). I also remember the song 'In the Still of the Night' by the Five Satins being played at one point during the film.
My reason for saying all this is that if there was a remake, then something about that should be included the article. And what was the film's title? Was it also called Badlands? Or did it have another name?

Image:Badlands movie poster.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Just for the sake of trivia. It's strongly suggested that the 'a citizen' in the 1974 'citizen card' could have been Zodiac, based on handwriting etc. A lot of film articles seem to have little facts like this, I don't think it would hurt the article, just add interest. 81.129.143.107 ( talk) 19:51, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Shouldnt the article mention that True romance from 1993 is a remake? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.150.21.45 ( talk) 06:50, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
where is the 500,000 estimate for the budget coming from? we have malick on record in the article itself quoting 300,000, "excluding deferments" . when looking for an outside source, i found a reference to the budget at 350,000 in this google books scan of a copy of "America's Film Legacy: The Authoritative Guide to the Landmark Movies in the National Film Registry". i'm going to change this to 300,000 for now.

There is a suggestion in the Wiki entry for the 1963 John Landis film mentioned above that it served as a possible inspiration for Badlands. Not sure if it's worth mentioning. Hanoi Road ( talk) 17:54, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
@ User:Fred Gandt I'm confused by your last edit, since this is the plot of the film?? I wouldn't change it if it wasn't Stephanie921 ( talk) 12:47, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

15:57, 25 August 2022 (UTC)The Further reading section has a different citation style than the footnotes, which generally use Citation Style 1 (CS1) templates. As per WP:CITEVAR under the Generally considered helpful section, to summarize two bullet items:
imposing one style on an article with inconsistent citation styles
improving existing citations by adding missing information
I intend to add the appropriate citation templates for books & journal articles along with linking information such as a URL when available, ISBN, OCLC #, ISSN, DOI, or a combination as appropriate. Peaceray ( talk) 04:19, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
