There's another one made in the 1970s (1973 I think) that's pretty good too. Badlands. They changed the names and the story quite a bit but it has Sissy Spacek and Martin Sheen as the two killers. It's actually part of the Criterion Collection of select movies.

@@gobshite5150 i felt truly sorry for the girl's long sentence.. as a minor,should have gotten a much shorter sentence.. i think it was just the sensationalism of the crime,and prosecutor was under public pressure,, after all-she did write a message- for help while in rest room[which conveniently got lost. what was your opinion.

[@gobshite5150]

@@johnmoran1317 It's hard to say. I do agree she was too young to be tried as an adult, she was an 8th grader wasn't she? I'm not sure if the police ever definitively said whether or not she was in the home when her family was killed or whether or not she actually knew her family was dead. But if you believe a 14 yr old kid's story who had never been in trouble before I would have to say the 17 years they ultimately gave her was a little harsh. On the other hand Starkweather - complete psychotic sociopath killing machine, he deserved the death penalty but 6 months after capture? Whoa, they need to bring that back LOL

[@maryannebustamante6463]

Thank You for sharing this compelling and interesting true story movie about Charlie Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate. Tim Roth playing a psychopathic killer while Fairuza Balk played a young and naive 14year old girlfriend which made the story believable. Enjoyed watching this film from beginning until the end. It's definitely worth watching. G'day from Sydney Australia😌😊

[@sunshineandwarmth]

Hi from the USA. Carol's lawyer never stopped trying to get her out of jail. She was a model prisoner. She did exactly as she was told. Her lawyer said that showed that she wasn't a willing participant. She just always did as she was told. Idk though. There's a lot of psychological problems there, and low IQ. Still, not all members of the poor white trash set become serial killers.

[@DevouredByADream]

The portion of this movie that takes place at the girls parents house was filmed across the street from my grandparents home in McKinney Texas. My grandpa repainted the house for the movie. I've been on that porch a hundred times. I remember watching the film crew daily. I was 5 years old at the time. My grandpa owns the house in the background that can be seen from the porch view as well. Crazy watching this now.

First, thanks for the upload. I was struck again by how good of an actor Randy Quaid is, as he can do both comedy and drama. Ironically, his private life now also seems to be an example of "folie-a - deux." The combination of something in the personalities of two people come together and bring out a mutual insanity or behaviour.

[@sarabower1]

it may just be me, but l would classify the murder of a two year old child as horrendous indeed

I don't like the way that this movie portrays Caril as a victim, I totally believe that she was a willing participant in all of it. She had many chances to get away or get help and she did nothing.

As a fellow harmonica player I love the use of harmonica throughout, Bravo!

[@bandwagonbooks7442]

Thank you for posting this. I'm particularly moved by what you're saying about Caril. (My grandfather was her attorney, and what you're saying was why he believed in her. Also, there are many reasons to believe in her innocence, including the fact that she left clues for the police.) But as for Texas, yeah, they wanted to shoot in Nebraska, but no incentives, and they were concerned about protests. It turned out to be the first movie Renee Zellweger was ever in. (She played Caril's sister.)

[@karielaine]

I guarantee you that LOTS of people (likely including some who were murdered) made fun of him. Of course that doesn't begin to condone what he did... but why do we as a society never want to admit that although we can't control or be to blame for others' actions, we still have to be held accountable for what we do choose to do and say. It isn't about criminalizing victims but about being aware that the words we say do affect people more than we know or want to admit.

[@Rome274]

Kari Skinner . Well said!! . Because there's been so many murderers over the years that have done this due to deep cold rage through being cruelly taunted by many people over a period of time. I'm not condoning the murderers actions either , but long term emotional abuse does have negative effects on people ,,one way or the other .. .

[@markwilliams3250]

@@susanb2015 Most of the people that knew him said he was very nice and and kind until about 1956. When he started to change some, but if he liked you even then he would do anything for you. I understand what he went through in school because i went through the same thing. I had a speech problem that i was able too over come in time, and i also had eye problems that eventually cleared up because i wore glasses. Kids would pick at me constantly about these things and call me all kinds of names. No one likes being called stupid, and when Charlie quit his job at the warehouse, i am sure he knew what people thought of him. His own boss called him stupid. I went through this torment until i started to withdraw and became hateful and bitter. I also had a girl i liked who's parents did not like me at all because i dressed in denim or leather and rode a motorcycle. probably looked like a beat neck too them. She liked me though. I was 17 at the time and she was 13 or 14. Thing came to a head a little later when i decided that my latest tormentors had to go. I had had enough. I took my fathers rifle and hid it in a box that some pool que's had come in, strapped it too my bike and went to school. One of the teachers who was concerned about me and whom i liked ask what was in the box out in the parking lot, and i told him. I thank God often for that teacher being out there that morning, his name was Dave. I do not condone what Charlie did, but i do understand how he felt. He said it was between him and God as too what he done, and what people thought didn't matter anymore. Charlie gave up trying. If he had had the kind of help i had, instead of the ignorance and backwardness he was surrounded with, he would have been alright. I sincerely hope, and i believe he did make his peace with God. I myself might have turned this way had it not been for that teacher, i joined the Army a month later. I eventually learned to forgive my tormentor's and life has not been that bad. Charlies short and troubled life should be used as an example of what not to do to people who are different in some way's. Either help them or be a friend, or leave them alone, i know because i went through it.

Yeah me too but in my own opinion I would make two changes with the ending and they are. 1. Instead of Charles Starkweather driving Chester Lauer Ward's Packard Patrician he took Merle Collison's Buick if he had succeeded in turning off the parking brake. 2. Deputy William Romer arriving at the scene much later and giving Charles Starkweather enough time to kill Joe Sprinkle making him his 12 and last victim. P.S. I would also add another 2 mins and 16 seconds to the first part and then 1 min and 58 seconds to the second part thus making each of the two parts of the TV miniseries 1:30:00

Nothing to gain? He said," if I can't have you no one will." Do you think he'd let her move on and live her life? You know the police told him she was testifying against him.

Caril seemed a bit mature for fourteen. How did she know to put her baby sister's name in the note she wrote and the police would figure out her baby sister can't write because she was two and her last name was different from hers. That is thinking of a wise 14 year old.

Actually that was the biggest issue with Caril Ann's mother and stepfather. At the time they met, Charlie was 18 and Caril Ann was 13.

[@paulalowery7411]

Wasn't the movie Natural Born Killers loosely based on these two?

[@warborn_inc.]

NBK was a combo of a lot of different murderer couples mixed with Charles Manson etc. There is an Oliver Stone interview where he goes in depth about what influenced him when he directed it and Tarantino who wrote the screenplay

[@StarAnnasDream]

Kiki The Chiwah Divah NBKillers was a mixture of young love gone wild couples...Bonnie& Clyde & Romeo & Juliet, Samson & Delilah being examples of some one of them,

[@m.e.d.7997]

I'll bet she was turned on by his behavior. Doubt she was afraid.

[@somegirla3974]

i watch a criminal psychologist say some of the crimes were definitely done by female. Like that young boy and girl where the female was attacked it wouldn't have been done by him it would have been done by a female. But no one knows for sure but them and God and their victims.

[@santinowilliams693]

@Margaret Wilson she was a willing participant in what was going on, her age made no difference she could of broke away and told someone or called the police because even at her age she knew murder was wrong especially her own parents too so yes 14 year olds know right from wrong and this girl was just twisted in the head and had issues of her own

[@FaeryTraditionBitch]

Priscilla Crow from the shows and crime scene pics I saw they even used the same kinda car Charlie had and the ones he stole (49 and 50 Fords, 56 Packard) . Most would never notice, but it looks like this was accurately done.

[@vampL3r]

This version is soooo much better than the 2004 version, and way more historically accurate than that version too. I couldn't find the 2004 movie online so I actually bought the DVD.l, what a waste of money that was.

Idk. Haven't seen it, but I've seen this one and know the story well. Still, I feel like every nerve in my body is vibrating and if I hear a sudden noise I'm going to explode!🫨

sounds like great guy ! Yah . Are you really surprised that the killer killed the 2 year old sister? How weird that a MURDERER would MURDER someone.

[@pamelapaikopoulos2320]

How weird that a murder would murder someone? That's why they are called murderers , because they killed/ murdered someone!

Stark-weather. What a good name for a bad character...

Amber Branks it’s based on a true story

So true

[@billiedeffenbaugh7450]

He did say before he died that now people will remember my name. Charles Starkweather is a catch name.

[@billiedeffenbaugh7450]

He even killed two poor dogs. He diffently was HEARTLESS to kill animals too.

[@billiedeffenbaugh7450]

@Carl's Brother Charles was a HEARTLESS soul! He had no trouble killing any living thing-child, man, woman, and animals.

[@billiedeffenbaugh7450]

That's what I meant to say, but got my words twisted around. Charles had no problem killing any living thing. He was a socialpath!

[@Fromtodaytiltomorrow]

He probably killed the baby because the mother said she had her and she didn't want to be a grandmother and raise his child. So he put blame on the child..

[@Stephanie.11.]

Damn Tim Roth is such a good actor!

[@killerbutle]

Back then and especially in that area in a small town it was typical to see people with guns. People took guns everywhere so seeing somebody on the side of the road with a gun wasn't much to be nervous about or you'd be a nervous wreck living back then and there.

[@MegaCrazycatt]

I was reading about them on wikipedia and its so wierd to think Carol got out of jail in 1976 and is married and living in Michigan.

[@samanthab1923]

The original Badlands with Martin Sheen & Sissy Spacek is a classic.

[@sunshineandwarmth]

Never saw it. Love both of them. Martin Sheen is a natural tear jerk maker and Sissy Spacek is pure vulnerability. Have to look that up. Thanks.

[@lauraheart5246]

this is a good movie, saw it when it first came out 20 years ago...true story , I think she was in on it... I also saw this story on bio-story...

That crazy-ass home invasion scene (after he murders the old man) where he poses with 2 guns and a cowboy hat is FUCKING PRICELESS... Did anybody else also catch that one? >; D

in real life , I seriously think she assisted with the murders and enjoyed it , she acted like she was just an innocent victim but I don't know

[@justinmyslive4108]

WeirdZombiechick19 agreed. if they portrayed Carol Fugate like the accomplice of Charles Starkweather the feminists would be throwing a fit saying it portrays women in a negative manner. she was just as ruthless and cold blooded as Charles

[@vickitaylor8158]

She killed no one and at 14 her reasoning abilities were very immature. She was a child being mentally manipulated by a psychopath, and she feared him.

[@vickitaylor8158]

Sweelen Simpson she served her time and was a model prisoner and has not been in any trouble at all since her release. Prison didn’t rehabilitate her...they never do...she didn’t need rehabilitation she wasn’t the psychopath.

[@StarAnnasDream]

WeirdZombiechick19 NO. She didn't. She was manipulated & brainwashed by the DEVIL himself 👹

[@MusicandDancing4Ever]

@@vickitaylor8158 exactly, if she was so bad and a criminal, how could she become so good overnight. She was such a model inmate, she was allowed to go into town unaccompanied cause they knew she come back. Even before she dated him, she had no juvenile delinquencies. She hasn’t done any criminal activity since she been out. So if she was a criminal mastermind and a psychopath. She would’ve found some way to continue doing wrong cause those types don’t change. If she did anything it was cause he held a 🔫 on her.
