Summary: Everyone will hack on you if you do not buy this DVD
Review: Young Guns is definitely one of the best Westerns ever made. It is the story of how Billy the Kid and his legend was created. John Tunstall an English merchant takes in runaways and those on a downward spiral in life and in return for protecting his ranch from poachers gives them (his regulators) an education and board. After he is murdered by L.G. Murphy's men, Tunstall's regulators are deputised and set out to bring in those responsible. The Lincoln War is on and William H. Bony and the other regulators have prices on their heads.The Young Guns DVD also contains a featurette, which was made in 1988. It's kind of a behind the scenes, interview with the actors type thing. It's quite interesting and a flash back to 1988 with mentions of Tom's Cruise latest movie being Cocktail re-enforcing this was made in 1988. Seeing Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez, Keifer Sutherland and Lou Diamond Phillips over fifteen years younger than today and hearing them talk about their careers to that point is also rather interesting. I don't really like Westerns but I loved Young Guns. Check out the sequel Young Guns II as well.

Summary: A Great Movie All Around
Review: Young Guns is one of the best movies I've ever seen, with a cast of six hotties that really know how to put up a fight, this movie is a classic that will be around for many years to come.

Summary: Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys.
Review: YOUNG GUNS isn't a typical "classical" Western that were massed produced in the 1950s and 1960s. Nor is it like the darkly tragic Westerns of the 1970s. In fact, about the only thing that YOUNG GUNS shares with Westerns of the past is that just about all of them like to mess around with and screw up historical accuracy. The movie also has a terrible soundtrack (usual for movies in the 80s) which distracts from one's interest in the film. However, despite it's flaws, YOUNG GUNS remains one of the best Westerns from the "modern" era (after Star Wars) and is still entertaining to this day. The movie does portray events in Billy the Kid's life that have been overlooked in many movies about his life, e.g. the murder of Tunstall and the Linoln County Wars. It also stars a cast of actors that at the time of filming were considered by many women to be "hotties". Despite their sex appeal, these actors were able to bring to life some difficult characters in a totally believable and memorable fashion. The film moves at a believable pace and is full of action and gunfights. Athough the film is full of cheesy dialogue, the movie does have some great one-liners and memorable scenes (e.g. killing the man in the outhouse and the draw with the man in the bar). I hadn't seen the film in over ten years and after watching it recently, I was impressed by how entertaining and interesting the movie is. Of course, it may also remind mothers of all the reasons why they shouldn't let their babies to grow up to be cowboys.

Summary: The Forgotten One
Review: Young Guns was a film that wasn't appreciated at its time. Sure it made 45 million dollars in 1988, but sometimes profit is overlooked by the quality of the film. Every time I watch Young Guns it makes me smile. The excellent cast (except Charlie Sheen) was outstanding. But the performance by Emilio Estevez was one step higher. His portrayal as "Billy the Kid" was phenomenal. The scene where Billy taunts the man in the bar, and then shoots him, was hilarious. Even though Young Guns was overlooked, in my eyes it will never be forgotten.

Summary: Young Guns was a good movie, not great, but worth seeing.
Review: Young Guns wasn't original enough to be classified as a great show, but it's worth(at least) a rental. It was better than most people gave it credit for, and it had enough action to keep me interested. A number of actors turn in great performances in this one. As I said above, it's worth a look.
