Reception
Like many American films of the time, Bears and Bad Men was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Chicago Board of Censors required a cut, in Reel 1, of a scene with a man looking at a goat and putting it off of his lap after water is seen pouring from a bucket.[2]

gollark: Also also also, speed hardly matters for a prototype esolang.
gollark: Also, development speed is likely to be worse, and also also other languages exist.
gollark: C++ is not necessarily faster or slower.
gollark: You probably can.
