My review was written in June 1990 after watching the film on Magnum video cassette. An insipid song-into-film feature, "Big Bad John" arrives nearly 30 years late with a whimper. Released in February in Tennessee, it's a minor video title. Jimmy Dean topped the charts in 1961 with the gold record he penned and sang.
Feb 1, 1990 · For the record, Dean plays a sheriff who reluctantly pursues the fugitive John all over the country. Also in the cast is Ned Beatty, playing an abusive father to end all abusive fathers, and Jack Elam and Bob Hopkins, doing their usual. Big Bad John was directed by Burt Kennedy, an old hand at backwoods melodramas.
