''3 Bad Men'' is a 1926 silent Western film directed by Creator/JohnFord. It was based on the novel ''Over the Border'' by Herman Whitaker.

----
!!This film has the examples of:

* CaptainObvious: {{Lampshaded}} when Dan comes upon Lee and sees her wagon wheel lying on the ground:
-->'''Dan''': The wheel came off.\\
'''Lee''': Oh, did it?\\
'''Dan''': Something ought to be done about it.\\
'''Lee''': You must have traveled a lot to know all those things.
* SamusIsAGirl: An InternalReveal. The audience already knew Lee was a woman by that point.
* TitleDrop: "Come along, my 3 Bad Men - it's time we were making camp."
