"He hurt me badly" means "he tried to hurt me, but wasn't very good at it".

MrTrilby, no, it means that he hurt me in such a way that I have scars and bruises on my body.

Well, what does 'badly' mean here, 'poorly,' 'extensively,' 'severely,' etc.?

It has to be Badly because Word Perfect says 'Normally an adjective like bad doesn't modify a verb.'
