The Legendary Bromances of Young Guns 2

TONIGHT’S MOVIE? Young Guns 2

Billy the kid emerges from The New Mexican desert trying to clear his name for his part in the Lincoln County Wars in his youth, the authorities believe Billy the Kid was shot dead by his friend, Pat Garrett, and so Billy The Kid corrects the narrative and this movie jumps in as the surviving members of the Regulators reunite and get some new recruits as the governor sends a posse after them...Direct sequel to Part 1 and there are so many callbacks to Part 1, you should really watch them as a double feature.

Young Guns was a western starring the 80s brat pack and made for the MTV Generation.

It had Emilio Estevez as William H. "Billy the Kid" Bonney

• Kiefer Sutherland as Josiah Gordon "Doc" Scurlock
• Lou Diamond Phillips as Jose Chavez y Chavez
• Charlie Sheen as Richard "Dick" Brewer
• Dermot Mulroney as "Dirty Steve" Stephens
• Jack Palance as the cattle baron

The sequel brings back Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, and Lou Diamond Phillips adds Alan Ruck, Balthazar Getty, and Christian Slater.

Also western legend James Coburn in a bit part, he was the original Pat Garret actor in Pat Garett and Billy The Kid, 70s movie with Kris Kristopersion by Sam Peckinpah.

The movies take a lot of liberties with history. One character who died in Part 1 was alive at a famous shootout depicted in Part 2 and they attribute his death to another character in Part 2 who survived the shooting.

But the soundtrack got an original song out Of Bon Jovi, an award winning billboard chart topping song and if I could afford the rights I would have played it here … “Blaze of Glory,” This is actually on my favorite Bon Jovi album, which is inspired by the movie. I guess Emilio went to Bon Jovi and asked him to make music.
