Young Guns II really surprised me. ALL the actors were GREAT in this movie. I especially loved Lou Diamond Phillips and Kiefer Sutherland (of course). Emilio Estevez was wonderful and for once I didn't hate Christian Slater.
I saw the first movie, and it was okay, but I seem to get into and feel for the characters much more in the sequel--they have more depth and there's not as many, so you can focus more on the important relationships. Not to mention a core musical identity of my era named Jon Bon Jovi, who did the theme song (which had some awesome lyrics).

Young Guns 2 came blazing on to the screen to deal with the parts of the Billy the Kid legend that Young Guns didn't tackle.

This film is even further from the true story than Young Guns but just as much fun.

The film is told through the eyes of an old cowboy claiming to be Billy the Kid speaking to a reporter and uses the old myth that The Kid's death at the hands of Pat Garrett never took place.

It is a brilliant sequel to Young Guns and brings back old cast members Emilio Estevez, Lou Diamond Phillips and Kiether Sutherland and throws them together with another great actor Cristian Slater giving a fine performance as Arkansas Dave Rudabaugh.

Another great slice of Western farce there purely to entertain and entertain it does and a sequel that works well with its predecessor.

This is my favourite film. It is even better than the orignal in my opinion and that is saying something.

Emilio Estevez is magnificent as Billy but I think Christian Slater really steals the show as Arkansa Dave.

A must watch.

If you have seen the first young guns movie you will have been, laughing, crying, sitting on the edge of your seat.
The sequel, Young Guns 2 does not have much new to offer, the main difference is that theres no Charlie Sheen (because he got shot), and Christian Slater has been added. Slater's role is good but the film lacks new content.
Worth a watch though, emelio estevez is great. :)

Great film, great soundtrack. It asks the question did Pat Garret really kill Billy the Kid? which I like. The song blood money by Jon Bon Jovi really sums up the emotion of Pat and Billy's relationship. As with the first film its funny in parts, serious in others and always has plenty of action. I can't get bored watching these films. When Billy makes a fake lynch mob to get Chavez and Doc out of prison is truely funny especially when the real lynch mob turn up. When the "Cincinati Kid" dies, Emilio does some great acting saying to Pat " you killed the boy Pat". The addition of Christian Slater to the cast was masterful, his rivalry with Chavez and their fight really adds to an already good film. Doc as usual is torn about what to do and really doesn't want to follow Billy. Billy's speech about finishing the game is my favourite part in the film especially when Doc says "lets finish the game Billy".
If you haven't seen it you won't be disappointed and if you have seen it you don't need to read reviews to know you need to buy it.
