Scary movies usually have little effect on me. I see monsters and things as sympathetic creatures. That being said, Flatliners scared me on a primal level because it dealt with the monsters within.

You were right to be confused. The ending narration in the first film is read by Doc and he's talking about Billy's death, but here he's killed before Billy. What happened was, Kiefer Sutherland was only going to be available for a limited time for this shoot because of another project, and insisted he wasn't going to bother doing it unless his character could go out in a blazing gunfight. The writer and producer eventually had to yield to his request. It's historically inaccurate, but still a great scene. Chavez, likewise, survived past Billy's death, wandering the West for a while. He almost killed Bob Ford, the man who gunned down ANOTHER Wild West legend, Jesse James, but Ford ran away. Chavez was a deputy for a while but fell back into criminal activity and died in prison. Tom the orphan actually was one of the original Regulators but wasn't in the first film. They gave him a different story here (he was much closer to Billy's age). Tom's name is inscribed on the same headstone as Billy (along with Charlie Bowdre, who was gunned down at the end of the first movie). Arkansas Dave Rudabaugh was kind of the Forrest Gump of the Wild West, running into a huge number of more famous or infamous names in Western history - Doc Holliday, the three Earp brothers (Wyatt, Virgil, Morgan), Bat Masterson, Curly Bill Brocius, Mysterious Dave Mather, Hoodoo Brown, and of course Billy the Kid himself. He was a bank robber, a train robber, a stagecoach robber, a gambler, a hired gun for the railroads, and was a member of several notorious Wild West gangs - the Trio, the Dodge City Gang, the Cowboys, and the Rustlers. The movie is half-right - he was killed in a gunfight in Mexico and his corpse was beheaded and his head mounted on a pike. Brushy Bill Roberts...well, there's probably no way we'll ever know the truth of that one. Attempts to exhume the Kid's remains for DNA testing have been blocked by the courts. Photographic analysis of surviving photos of Roberts with the famous tintype of Billy holding his rifle - it's the photo used in his Wikipedia entry and the ONLY image every historian agrees was definitely Billy the Kid - seem to indicate a strong likelihood of a match. On the other hand, some acquaintances of Roberts have suggested that Roberts had first claimed he rode with Jesse James before "deciding" on the Billy the Kid story. So it will probably remain a mystery, at least until someone invents a time machine.

"Brushy Bill" Roberts was almost certainly not Billy the Kid but sure, until and unless verified DNA tests occur I guess there's room to speculate. Excluding dubious witness testimony either from parties with an interest in proving Roberts was the Kid or from old men 70 years after the fact, most of the evidence we _do_ have (including from Roberts' _own family_ !?) suggests he was a different person, almost certainly born 20 years too late to be Billy. (even if we take the currently unreplicated photographic analysis entirely at face value - heh :) - it's only evidence that the two men looked alike as teenagers. Plenty of people look alike and a physical resemblance may even have inspired Roberts to make the claim. After, of course, he'd given up on his earlier claim that he rode with Jesse James !)

historically -both Doc and Chavez survived these events. The scene where Doc died really did happen, but it was Charlie Bowdre who was killed - not Doc. Charlie - as we know - was killed at the end of the first movie the real Arkansas Dave (Christian slater) actually road with the cowboys in Tombstone during their battles with the Earps. He's the only known person to have crossed paths with both Wyatt Earp and Billy The Kid. Lou Diamond Phillips got severely injured during the pit rescue scene at the beginning when his skittish horse freaked out, bucked him off and dragged him through the streets... he broke his arm and shattered his knee cap. That's why he got the knife through the arm - to hide his broken arm.

My excitement was through the roof when this sequel was released. Both films are incredible and Blaze Of Glory is a song that will never get old.

But I think an underrated aspect is the cinematography by Dean Semler (Young Guns 1, Mad Max 2 & 3, Dances with Wolves, etc...). Shots like the one at 14:18 w/ the sunlight slowly coming in really make the film look more epic.

The outhouse and escape happened. Nobody knows how he got the gun or out of his handcuffs. That’s where the idea of him having small wrists came from. He also shot the sheriff with his own shotgun through the window after saying “hi Bob”. Though coins weren’t used as buckshot.

About 20 years ago, I was part of a team that studied the house outside of which he supposedly was killed by Garret. My role was in reviewing the newspaper accounts. The first report from a town near Fort Sumner was that a Mexican was killed with a shotgun. By a few days time, the report was that Billy had stained his skin so as to look Mexican. One problem with that theory is the guy who was buried had a full beard, and whether because of age or whatever, Billy supposedly couldn't grow a beard. This was part of an investigation, run by the sheriff of Lincoln County at the time (20 years ago; not from the 1800s), which turned up other oddities as well. So the question of whether or not Billy died that night really isn't answered. Of course the locals now all say he did, but that could be because they don't want to lose their only tourist attraction.

You may not remember but Pat Garret was also in the first movie but was portrayed by Patrick Wayne ( son of John Wayne).

This movie was the first time I saw James Coburn, the actor who plays John Chisum. He was a great choice to take up Jack Palance's place as the man hunting Billy and the others. John Wayne actually played the same character in a movie called "Chisum", with Glenn Corbett playing Pat Garrett and Geoffrey Deuel playing Billy the Kid.

I remember when this first came out, there was a lot of hype. Living in a tiny town in Norway, I did not catch it at the cinema and had to wait for the VHS to come out. It was a grueling wait. Jon Bon Jovi had a smash hit with the album Blaze of Glory. All the songs on that album was based on the movie script and before some of the songs there were snippets of dialogue from the movie, which was a novelty for the time. I remember listening that album to death and imagining how cool that movie would be. The local video store only got a few copies and I had to sign up for a waiting list, so even though it finally had come out there was even more waiting. When the big day arrived my expectation was through the roof. Alas, as such things goes, the movie left me cold. It could not meet the impossible expectations of a thirteen year old who loved the first one and who's imagination had run wild listening to the movie album. My biggest gripe was the lack of continuity from the first one. Anyway, now you should see Pat Garret and Billy the Kid, with Kris Kristofferson as the Kid and James Coburn as Pat Garret. (with Bob Dylan both acting a part and contributing to the sound track (knocking on heavens door). In fact, you should consider the director Sam Peckinpah's body of work. He was a legend. Try Pat Garret and Billy the Kid, The Wild Bunch, The Getaway, Convoy, Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia, Cross of Iron. There are more, but I think those are very good jumping of points. Along with Sergio Leone, I believe Sam Peckinpah was one of the most stylistically influential directors when it comes to the modern action genre. Since you like both Sergio Leone's and Clint Eastwood's movies, Sam Peckinpah should be a good match. Apropos, Sergio Leone. You really should visit his next movies: Once upon a time in the west, Duck you sucker/A fistful of Dynamite and Once upon a time in America. Both Once upon a time in America/the West are masterpieces, but I've seen very few who ha reacted to America. America follows a group of Jewish gangsters in the 20s and 30s. I rate it alongside The Godfather. You have a lot to look forward to:-)

Thanks I love your story it's very inspiring to hear how much of an impact the films have had on your life.

Great reactions! You have an awesome channel. I read "The Authentic Life of Billy the Kid" by Pat Garrett years ago. Both Young Guns films are very accurate to his writing, and history. That includes those involved.

As others have pointed out, there are numerous historical discrepancies in the Billy the Kid story as depicted by the Young Guns series. Things were changed for dramatic effect and to tell the story they wanted to tell. I've been a hobbyist of Billy the Kid's story in my life, so it's always been funny when seeing what the films got right and wrong. Billy The Kid's life can be broken into two parts (like the films) with the Lincoln County War as Young Guns and his criminal activities as depicted in Young Guns II. Brushy Bill Roberts was a real person, but as the movie states, no one is sure if he really was Billy the Kid. In RL both Chavez and Doc survived the war and left for greener pastures dying of old age. The sequence of the shootout at Stinking Springs (where Doc was killed) was a real event, however Charlie Bowdre (from Young Guns) was killed in the manner as depicted in the second film. Charlie didn't die at Five-Day Battle in Lincoln as seen in the first film. Tom O'Folliard was considered by many to be the best friend Billy the Kid and was around for the events of the first film. He was not an orphan, but he did get shot by Garrett under similar cirumstances. Just the location was wrong. Hendry William French is believed to be partially based on Jim French, a Regulator who fought in the Lincoln County War and would have been there during the events of Young Guns, rather than II. After the war French left New Mexico. John Chisum was indeed a wealthy cattle baron and associate of Alexander McSween and John Tunstall. As depicted in the movie, he turned on Billy and helped persuade Garrett to hunt him down. What they got wrong was in RL, Billy and his gang did in fact steal some of his stock. All in all, I've always enjoyed these films, but I had a sense of melancholy from II, due to the fact it's not really a happy ending. And you pretty much know it going into the film. An interesting side note of the first film- Young Guns ignores James Dolan, business partner of Lawrence Murphy, (the "Dolan" of the Dolan-Murphy faction) even though he played a major role and even survived the war. Dolan died in 1898. Murphy himself (ironically) died of cancer shortly before the Lincoln County War really began, though he was also a chief instigator. Young Guns utilized him as the main villain even though he would have died before the majority of the action. Another side note- as part of my job I have driven through Fort Sumner, New Mexico several times and that's where Billy the Kid was buried. I have never stopped to visit, but it's an interesting place to visit, even if only passing through.

Brushy Bill Roberts, was not in fact, NOT Billy The Kid, he just wanted to be noticed by spreading tall tales about being the famous outlaw.

Great movie. I also like this one better than the first. Full of memorable lines and moments, looks great and love the Alan Silvestry score.

Love these films! especially the second one its a really amazing exploration into the saviour mentality. Thanks for watching and bringing more eyes to them!

You've GOT to watch the movie "Stake Out" with Emilio Estevez and Richard Dreyfes. I'm positive you'll love it!

I dunno which movie (that you've not watched yet) gets closest to being similar to this but off top of my head, I'd say 'Silverado', another 80's western, the 80's was possibly the most sparse decade for Westerns but that and Pale Rider (and maybe The Long Riders) are ones from that period I hope you check out one day. Thank you so much for being a channel that shows love to the sequels and for doing this highly loved sequel.

I can't remember if you've done it already, but you'd definitely enjoy The quick and the dead. Sharon Stone, Russell crow, Gene Hackman and Leonardo dicaprio.

The Young Guns series is a very interesting look at figures of the 'Wild West', elevated to folk hero status by the pop culture of the times and now revered with a mix of fact and fiction. A more accurate biopic on another famous outlaw I think you two would enjoy - The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford, with Brad Pitt.

Hey yo it's mostaccioli again here's a fun fact about the movie you may not know the band Bon Jovi did the theme song in this movie but Jon Bon Jovi got a cameo in this movie he was the guy who get shot and falls into the pit and flips over backwards..forgetboutit lol the screenwriter who wrote Young Guns 2 said he was inspired to write this movie after listening to Jon Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead or Alive

I did like this sequel when it came out and still do. However, you are entirely correct about what you remember from the end of Young Guns. Continuity in stories, whether it was TV, movies or some book series ceased to matter in the 1980's. All because of the TV show "Dallas". They killed off "Bobby" played by Patrick Duffy in at the beginning of one season. Huge uproar and outrage from the fans. Beginning of the next season, Bobby was back. His death ( and the entire last season) was a dream his wife had. Outrageous, right? But, as they say now, it started a trend.

Fun fact: Tom is played by Balthazar Getty. He made his acting debut earlier that year in Lord of the Flies, and is part of the famous Getty family (Getty Oils / Getty Images).

James Coburn, who played the powerful John Chisum, also appeared in The Great Escape, which you watched recently. He was Sedgwick, the Aussie POW who made it to Spain with the help of the French Resistance.

"D'you see the siiiiiize of that chicken !?!?!" I was saying this almost every day as a kid haha

AM coffee gang checking in. Excited for this one! See ya in a bit!

Emilio Estevez does it again another spectacular performance for one of the most legendary American outlaws. Honestly he just killed it completely. Of course let's not Kiefer Sutherland and Lou Diamond Phillips. We got the whole gang back in the saddle again. Sorry I couldn't resist I had to go there. Let me recommend a another great classic outlaw movie Dillinger (1973).

Kiefer and Lou also made the underrated Renegades (1989), buddy action movie at the time touted as a YG sequel of sorts which of course was nonsense.

@@LarryFleetwood8675 You're right of course Renegades was very much a low budget action movie. Robert Knepper who played Deputy James Carlyle. Also was in Renegades as the main villain.

@@LarryFleetwood8675 Robert Knepper is one of my favorite actors. He does villains very well.

Young Guns II is the superior film in my opinion as well. Even though it's tragic, it's also very entertaining and thoroughly intriguing. Was Brushy Bill Roberts actually Billy? We'll never know. For the record, that was Emilio with age makeup. Fooled me the first time I saw it. Jon Bon Jovi was separated from his band at the point this film was made, and recorded an album of songs for it. Give them a listen. They're good.

Solid review. Thank you for presenting YOUNG GUNS II in the correct Panavision widescreen aspect ratio.

We're in the shpirit wurld, *******! I gotta rewatch this entirely since I don't recall it all. Two great actors I just realized: William Petersen of CSI and the late great Scott Wilson!

Young guns two is my favorite and then young guns won is my second favorite and then my favorite favorite favorite favorite line I'll make you famous in that damn laugh that he does in the movies in both awesome these are the movies that got me hooked on Westerns

Awesome that you guys watched this. Hell yeah. The Chavez Spirit Horse scene always gets me. Love this movie.

Hey🙋🏽‍♂and hello🙋🏽‍♀. Viggo is awesome. I like him in G.I. Jane and Green Book, especially.

If you happen to watch it again. Fun fact. The prisoner that tries to escape in the beginning and is shot and falls back in the hole is Jon Bon Jovi. After the sequence was filmed, everyone sang shot through the heart and you're to blame. LOL. He did the entire soundtrack for this movie.

I love these reactions to western movies. You 2 are the first that i have seen who reacties to both young guns Movies. I hope you 2 will consider reacting to the westerns Maverick (1994) They call me Trinity (1970) Trinity is still my name (1971) My name is nobody (1973) For the last 3 you can find information on KZread.

Fun fact: the guy with long hair that Bob shoots back into the pit, during the pit breakout, is a Jon Bon Jovi cameo.

Billy Boyd: "We've had one breakfast, yes. What about Second breakfast?" Viggo Mortenson: "Encumbered by igits, we pressed on."

9:20, Doc needed time ,all right, when he saw that mob coming towards him. Lol!!

Governor Lew Wallace of New Mexico territory and of Civil War and Lincoln County War fame was the man who wrote the book " Ben Hur" which Hollywood made into two major motion pictures; one in the silent era, and of course the movie in 1959 starring Charelton Heston.

To be clear: Yes, the vast majority of this is either fiction or simply the narration of an old, confused man. Doc and Chavez both lived long lives. Dave Rudabaugh was in fact beheaded, but was actually shot and killed beforehand over an argument in a card game. Interestingly enough, Dave also knew Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday in his time. If I recall correctly, the way Bill Roberts explained his survival was that Pat actually shot a different gunslinger named Billy. Given the fact that Pat was the only person present that knew Billy the Kid, he quickly grabbed a local and asked if the man’s name was Billy. The local confirmed it and Pat collected the reward. Billy the Kid, (Bill Roberts) then used the opportunity to disappear. All that said, essentially the entire movie is told by Bill Roberts, who, as it says, was an unreliable narrator. I’m wicked glad you guys got around to seeing this and as always, love you guys and love your reactions!

Christian slater is absolutely great in "MOBSTERS"!!! ITs a great movie

Fun reaction to this movie. Both movies definitely veer away from historical fact, they took a lot of liberties to tell their story. They mix and matched how different people died. A side note, the governor that reneged on the pardon, he wrote the book Ben-Hur. He was writing it during his time in Sante Fe. And if you remember in the first Young Guns, Billy the Kid meets Pat Garrett twice. He meets him at the New Year's Eve party at the beginning, when Pat Garrett says he and his wife have a request for the band. And the second time, he was the one that warned Billy about the ambush at the McSween house that was the climax of the first Young Guns.

Glad you're enjoying the Western genre. Have you ever seen Silverado (1985)? Totally fun movie.

This is true. A guy named Brushy Bill Roberts came forward as he was approaching the end of his life, claiming to be Billy The Kid. Google it that name to see the stories on it and the research. He came forward because he wanted to be pardoned by the Governor before he died. It was all in the news at the time. I believe that this is his story as to what happened.

As someone who lives in the rural southwest. Ask anyone who lives here on either side of the boarder. This is still the wild West.
