Summary: Thats a fargon lie and you KNOW IT!
Review: This is the best movie ever. If you enjoy movies that you can watch over and over then this is one for you. If you like to watch movies with a perfect mix of bad [guy] lines and funny lines then yep, this movie is for you. William H. Bonnie aka "Billy the Kid" is played by Emilio Estevez who was made for this role. Almost everything in the movie can be related to what actually happened. The sequel is neither true nor that good. It has Christian Slater playing a cowboy...enough said.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Billy, Billy the kid
Review: this movie has great gunplay and a great cast. but Jack Palance as the badguy seems miscast and theres someparts that sorta take it down a notch. but the cast work well. Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Dermot Mulroney , Lou Diamond Phillips, Casey Siemazko and Charlie Sheen. hang on for some good old western gunplay

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: William H. Bonney,alias William antrim, alias "kid"
Review: This Movie is my favorite movie.(among all other billy the kid movies) I think Marshall Fine needs to get educated on good movies. The storyline followed closer in this movie than in most, so it is,to me, the closest to a biography fo billy the kid that ive seen, of movies. I have studied william bonney all my life and have seen all movies. This is the best. And the sequel is awesome too. Give it a chance. Billy the Kid is alive

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Movie!
Review: This movie was the biggest surprise to me. I had thought it looked like a bad movie, I watched it and changed my mind. For years I have loved watching it. It's one of the ten best westerns ever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Ya Gotta Be Handy With the Steel, if Ya Know What I Mean"
Review: This Western haas everything. A good story, great acting, and lots of action! Emilio Estevez plays William Bonnie (a.k.a. Billy the Kid) After being taken in by a wealthy Englishman and given a second chance, Billy gets a first hand look at what political corruption can do. After his benefactor is killed over a cattle contract Billy sets out for revenge. At first his companions are reluctant to use Billy's unlawful means, but quickly learn that blood must be answered with blood. With Jack Palance as the villain you know it's gotta be good. Keep an eye out for Tom Cruise (he gets a knife in the back). One of the best Westerns ever, essential for any fan of the genre!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Young Guns
Review: Typical bubble-gum meets "old western" hollywood. I wouldn't have been suprised if the chracters starting calling each other 'dude' in this spoof. However, there are a few moments when this film really delivers.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Young Guns
Review: Young GUnd is another Brat Pack type movie with lots of action. It is great for mindless entertainment, a light snack of a movie. The story and situations seem a bit contrived and ridiculous, the acting sometimes wooden, but overall, a nice movie to vegge out to.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best western I've ever seen!
Review: Young Guns and Young Guns 2 are the coolest westerns on the planet. Full of breathtaking action scenes and witty humor, Young Guns is a treat for an western or even non-western fan. After seeing this video, I actually went out and bought a set of cap guns.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: "I Ain't Left Handed!"
Review: Young Guns could be seen as the one that started it all. This great western adventure has inspired over a decade of imitators on the big and small screen, but none of them nearly as successful or as fun as this one.

Young Guns, of course, tells the story of William H. Bonney, the young New Mexico outlaw better known to history as Billy the Kid. Billy is taken in by the kind-hearted English merchant John Tunstall, who is invloved in a trade dispute with local Irish mob boss John Murphey, a powerful member of a circle of corrupt New Mexico politicians known as the Santa Fe Ring. After Murphey's Boys assasinate Tunstall, The Kid and his Regulators are deputized to bring in the perpatrators. But instead of issuing the warrants as ordered, Billy goes on the war path, knocking off Tunstall's killers, becoming outlaws in the process, and escalating the war, intending to ultimately bring down Murphey and the Ring. What ensues is action adventure history as Billy and his Regulators ride across the New Mexico desert with guns blazing.

Despite it's Hollywood overtones, this a great western adventure that unlike many earlier Billy the Kid films, shows time went into researching the actual history of the events that shaped Billy's short but famous life. Emilio Estevez, as Billy, plays a darkly likable outlaw leader alongside his brother Charlie Sheen as Dick Brewer, the foreman of the Regulators. A fantastic supporting cast including Keiffer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Jack Palance, Terrence Stamp, and many others bring this classic 80s western to life . Young Guns inspired in me an intense interest in the history of the West as well as a love of great western movies like this one. Check it out.
