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.

Expansion[edit]

Does 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)[edit]

The 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)[reply]

Anachronisms?[edit]

I 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)[reply]
