This time around, the Brat Packers (Emilio Estevez, Christian Slater, Lou Diamond Phillips, Kiefer Sutherland) are on the run from the law and making a break for the border. Sutherland is yanked from his school-teaching job back East and extradited for trial, until he's liberated by the other members of the gang. There's a memorable scrap between Phillips and Slater, and a couple of pretty decent firefights, but all in all this is rather forgettable fare. It taps into the futility and camaraderie of classics like The Wild Bunch and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but Sam Peckinpah or George Roy Hill it ain't. Jon Bon Jovi adds to the Rock-Stars-in-the-Old-West feel of this one, rife as it is with non-period dialogue and long, blowy hair. Still, fans of the original movie may find plenty to like in this sequel, even if it comes across as being a bit tired and turgid (notice there never was a Young Guns III). --Jerry Renshaw

This is just an entertaining, put your mind in neutral, and enjoy the Jon Bon Jovi soundtrack movie. I enjoyed the first movie a great deal and felt the laughs, action, and setting was quite fun. The second installment is also a decent addition and fills the entertainment purpose.

The DVD arrived fast and in good condition, except someone had written on the front of it with marker. Not a huge deal because it works fine, but it would have been nice not to have someone else's names written on my DVD.

Great sequel to the original Young Guns (Special Edition), if you have seen the original film then your going to love this. Young Guns 2 came blazing on to the screen to deal with the parts of the William H. Bonnie a.k.a. Billy the Kid legend that Young Guns didn't tackle. This film is even further from the true story than Young Guns but just as much fun. The film is told through the eyes of an old cowboy claiming to be Billy the Kid speaking to a reporter and uses the old myth that The Kid's death at the hands of Pat Garrett never took place. This was a great sequel but it doesn't beat the original, however we still get the same level of excitement that the first film had. The cast is at the top of its game, especially Esteves as the Kid, Sutherland as Doc and Diamond Phillips as Chavez. Christian Slater and Alan Ruck also lend their support as Arkansas Dave Rudabaugh and Buckshot George (You might recognise Ruck from Ferris Bueller's Day Off Bueller...Bueller... Edition (Special Collector's Edition), another awesome 80's film gotta love it!). The addition of Christian Slater to the cast was just brilliant, his rivalry with Chavez and their fight really adds to an already good film. Doc as usual is torn about what to do and really doesn't want to follow Billy as he has more responsibilities as a teacher and a father to a young son he left behind in New York. Billy's speech about finishing the game is my favorite part in the film especially when Doc says "lets finish the game Billy".
This motley group make up the "Young Guns" and their quest to get to the Mexican border and escape from former gang member Pat Garret played by William Petersen. The film follows the standard Billy the Kid story with only slight moderations, but this is the only film in which the spirit of Billy the Kid is alive and you truly feel like this character is what he thinks he is which is some kind of god. This was exactly what the story needed and it works for the same reason films like Braveheart (Special Collector's Edition) worked. They don't try to do an accurate historical retelling but they pay tribute to the legends centered around the character and like I said before in my Young Guns 1 review it isn't exactly Unforgiven but it's still a fun and entertaining western/action flick. I must admit even though I despise Bon Jovi I have to say that he did a great job with the soundtrack and Blaze of Glory is probably the only song that I like of his, it really captures the spirit of the film. As with the first film its funny in parts, serious in others and always has plenty of action. I can't get bored watching these films, when Billy makes a fake lynch mob to get Chavez and Doc out of prison is truly funny especially when the real lynch mob turn up. It was probably one of the best and memorable scenes in the film. I highly recommend this even though some points in the film were slightly off it was still a brilliant sequel and was very entertaining.
