Summary: Two thumbs up !
Review: It's not often that sequels manage to emulate the success of the original (let alone surpass it). I can think of only two offhand, one of which is this movie (the other one being ALIENS).What can I say? I loved this film when it first came out, and after seeing the DVD my overall "admiration" didn't change. This is a more serious and tragic tale and the characters are much better developed (particularly William H. Bonny) vis-a-vis Young Guns 1, ergo more "realistic". The entire premise of the film, that Billy the Kid might have survived to a ripe old age rather than having been shot by Pat Garrett is though-provoking indeed. Great score by Bon Jovi along with add-ons such as the featurette makes this disc an essential!

Summary: A great western!
Review: My friends and i watched part of this on a ski trip to white pass and loved it. when we got abck i bought it and have not regretted it one bit. it combines action, suspense, comedy, and most of all, entertainment. this is a great movie to watch at home on a rainy evening. overall, this is just a really good sequal.

Summary: Yoohoo! I'll make you buy this!
Review: Not many sequels surpass their original sibling but this DVD does. Billy's back, so is Pat Garrrett (although he is played by a different actor) and this is the showdown. This movie is the story of an old man claiming to be Billy who is after the pardon he was promised almost a lifetime ago. This movie picks up pretty much a year after Young Guns left off with the surviving regulators being round up and set for a hanging. Meanwhile Billy is being promised a pardon by the governor in return for testimony against his old enemies who killed John Tunstall. Of course there is no pardon and Billy must escape and rescue his pals. Pat Garrett is of course paid a lot of money to turn on Billy, track him down and bring him to justice.
Out of the two Young Guns movies this is the more well known story of the life of Billy the Kid. You don't actually need to have seen the original to enjoy this movie but the original is pretty good too so you might as well.
The trailer for the movie is also included which is pretty interesting to see how it was marketed in the USA. There's also a featurette which is a sort of behind the scenes, interview with the actors type thing. It's pretty interesting. You can also just watch the credits if you want to listen to Jon Bon Jovi's Blaze of Glory and Billy get Your Guns songs.
Like Young Guns this movie has an excellent cast with Keifer Sutherland, Emilio Estevez, Christian Slater and Lou Diamond Phillips being the most famous ones. My only criticism is that they used William Petersen a different actor to play Pat Garrett than Patrick Wayne who played him in Young Guns. Once you get used to this it doesn't matter. This is a sensational DVD you should buy it as well as Young Guns. If you love the movie consider buying Blaze of Glory the solo album inspired by the film by Jon Bon Jovi as it'll take you back memory wise to the film each time you play it.

Summary: Great movie
Review: The comedy is top notch, and the characters are great. I saw this before Young Guns I (go figure) and I thought it was the best ever. Now I'm not sure... "Young Guns I" might have been better (especially the plot). Either way, you should own both of movies, I and II. Get them. NOW.

Summary: The adventures of Billy the Kid
Review: This may be a forgotten western, but it is one of the best ones, it tells the story of Billy the Kid, the notorius outlaw that ran amock in old New Mexico in 1879, the film starts off in a theory that suggest Billy the Kid might have lived, we see a very old man who meets with a lawyer to discuss a pardon promised long ago, the film is told in flashbacks as the old man reminices about his adventures, Emilio Estevez is perfect as the Kid, he is cocky & downright likable, & William L. Peterson (C.S.I.) is great as Pat Garrett, Billy's friend turned enemy, Garrett's pursuit of Billy & his outlaws are basically the plot point, but along the way we learn about them as people, Keifer Sutherland,Lou Diamond Phillips, & Christian Slater give good performances as Billy's fellow outlaws, although they are hunted & killed, the showdown between Billy & Garrett is the high point of this film, the viewer wonders: did Garrett let Billy live & keep it secret?, historians might say no, but this film challenges that theory, "Unsolved Mysteries" did a segment on it, & it has become one of the greatest mysteries of our nation, we may never know, but one thing is for certain, this film makes you wonder, despite this, it is a solid western that is good & will please those who like westerns.
