WTF Happened to Young Guns?

- Опубліковано 15 сер 2023
- 1988's Young Guns is one of the best westerns of the last 35 years. Sure, there's also Tombstone, Unforgiven and The Quick and the Dead, but Young Guns is just so much fun. Indeed, Christopher Cain’s highly amusing and energetic tale of Billy the Kid and his participation with The Regulators in the Lincoln County War remains such a potent pop-cultural benchmark that, almost four decades later, an official sequel entitled Guns 3: Alias Billy the Kid (too old for it to called Young Guns 3?) is currently in pre-production. Original Young Guns writer John Fusco is back on board the upcoming sequel, with Emilio Estevez taking over the directorial saddle. As we look forward to the riotous return of Billy the Kid and Jose Chavez y Chavez, it’s time to recollect and celebrate the 35th anniversary of Young Guns by breaking down what inspired the movie, how it was developed, what went into the production, how historically accurate the story remains, and perhaps most enlightening, the treasure trove of on-set anecdotes and mischievous tomfoolery that the youthful cast thoroughly enjoyed while making the movie in the winter of 1988. Gear up, kick back, crack a brew, and stuff some chew…it’s time to find out WTF Happened to Young Guns once and for all!

Definitely one of the most underrated western movies of all time, a lot of fun, and Emilio Estévez really steals the show
His best and most charismatic performance. Reminded me of his character in The Outsiders.
Yup it's underrated and is one of my favorites.
Not really. TOMBSTONE is vastly superior
@@CaptainSpalding72dude. Did you read the comment?
Not to mention, Tombstone is a mess of a film. Actors are stellar but the overall production?
@@CaptainSpalding72not to mention. From what i am aware, Tombstone is not underrated.
Dermot Mulroney has to be treasured in this film. His performance is priceless. "Did you see the size of that chicken?"
That God damn cocka god damn doo! Ahhhhhhh ahhhhhhh 🤣🤣🤣 Oscar worthy performance
We’re in the spirit world A$$ hole. They can’t see us 😂😂😂
@@chrisbarnett4492 you forgot "hey Chavez why aren't they killing us?" Cause asshole we're in the spirit world they can't see us 🤣 best western
Yeah dirty steve
Crazy to think out of the whole cast he’s still the one that’s is a prominent actor in modern day.
I remember watching this in the theatre with my dad and mom, and lil sister. When Billy headshot Murphy at the end, the whole theatre just went crazy. It was the first time I saw an audience celebrate together an on-screen villains death, it was amazing to see as a 7 year old kid 😂 My dad and me went to see it again a second time in the theatre, man those were some great memories with my dad 🧡
Those movie experiences (back in the day) I too cherish, and will never forget. When the arms came up though the chair in Ghostbusters, and the whole packed theater screamed, it felt like we, as an audience, we were sharing a defining human experience together.
My cousin and I saw it at the dollar theatre and as the credits rolled the whole audience stood up and applauded.
Ok, you clearly stole this story from my diary. 🤣
I had not thought about how it was the first time I had experienced a collective audience reaction (other than laughter) in a long time. But I do remember the cathartic excitement of that moment. I have since seen the movie several times throughout my life, & I use it as an example of a movie that is far more timeless than people realize. From the cinematography to the balancing of tension, humor, excitement, passion... and that cast, this movie really was so well done. (And now knowing that it was shot in the winter, I am even more impressed with the actors' performances). I have to get off of here now and go watch it again I decided.
@@ilshaguides I watched both parts again, last night after commenting on this video lol both movies, of course, did not disappoint 👍🏾
@@gankuverymuch ok, so I just rewatched it again for probably the 12th, maybe 15th time in my life, & I just noticed something for the 1st time:
At about the 1 hr mark, when the boys are talking to Alex McSween, there is a whole _fully clothed mannequin_ standing in the background, posed with its hand on the edge of the roof. It's standing behind Steve throughout the whole scene. What in the world was that, & how am I just now noticing this for the first time?? Steve even looks back at it a couple of times kind of confused like.
Billy the Kid popping out of the chest at the shootout yelling is still one of the baddest scenes in a movie.
I loved how they recreated this in the Righteous Gemstones
I was a young girl CRAZY about Young Guns and Young Guns II. Not just the actors, but the storyline too. And I still know EVERY LINE of Young Guns.
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only action, well done western movie lover!
I'm not big on chick flicks but if you blow something up and kick the bad guy's butt, I'm happy. 😅😉👍
Billy the Kid: “Hey, Peppin!"
Peppin: "I'm hearing ya Bonney"
Billy: "I see you got Charley Crawford down there with ya”
Peppin: “Yeah, we got a whole lot of..."
*BANG*
Peppin: "Oh my god"
Other: "Damn"
Billy: (what does Billy reply?)
@brotherBvideos Damn! I can't remember the line exactly but I THINK it's something like:,"Charlie Crawford ain't with you anymore!" 🤣🤣🤣
@@brotherBvideos Billy: Hey Peppin , Charlie Crawford ain't with you anymore. (laughs )
@@brotherBvideos Billy: Hey Peppin , Charlie Crawford ain't with you anymore. (laughs )
I recommend Young Guns to people who haven't seen westerns.
This is one of those movies that's like a foundation of my childhood. My friends and I wore out that VHS tape!
I have absolutely loved these movies since seeing them as a kid! Been quoting them for 30 years!
Every time I'm in a tough situation, I hear Emilio's voice in my head laughing and saying, "I like these odds..."
I'll make you famous.
"Did you see the size of that chicken?!"
😂😂😂
He ain't all there, is he?
@@badkitty4922 Hey dog..
Young Guns I & II were both great movies and the soundtrack to II still is one of my favorites. Not the most historically accurate but it taught you about loyalty and what it means to have pals
I graduated high school in ‘88. Young Guns was the movie that ushered me in to my love of westerns. Before that, I was totally appreciative. Afterward, I couldn’t get enough
I still love Young Guns 1 and 2. Thank you for covering this!
I don’t know how many times I’ve watch both movies. But I can tell you when I was a teen in the 80s it was one of my favorite movies.
Same here. I was 19 when the first one came out, and LOVED IT. Same with YG2.
Young Guns is right up there with Tombstone, Open Range, Posse and The Wild Bunch. It is such a great film and can be watch a thousand times and STILL feel new.
YES!👏👏👏😉👍
Definitely! It truly is a special film.
Nooo .. young guns is far above any of those
tombstone, young guns 2, good bad the ugly, a few dollars more,
The Outlaw Josey Wales, Unforgiven, Magnificent Seven, Joe Kidd, 3:10 Yuma, True Grit it's a few that were and are bangers.
Love young guns so much. Probably watched it 50 times since childhood
Glad to know I'm not alone.
I absolutely loved this movie as a 7 year old kid watched it constantly.
"Shot down in a blaze of glory!"
"Take me now, but know the truth."
"Cause I'm going down in a blaze of glory"
I was in Santa Fe on vacation the year after this was shot, went to the town where most of it was shot, there was a nice sign over the door of the saloon from the cast and crew thanking the town for their cooperation, very nice
One of my favorite movies ever. Such a great cast! I even loved the sequel as well. And Kiefer Sutherland is one of my favorite actors. Was blessed with the chance to meet him a few years ago.
That’s awesome! ☺️
Niiice! I've always liked his work, even though I never had a chance to watch 24.
There have been plenty of times when he's reminded me of his father, Donald Sutherland. Whom I also admire.
😉👏👏👏👍
@@badkitty4922 yeah his dad is a legend as well. Kiefer was actually in town with his band to perform and he came over to me and said hello and shook my hand. He signed my season one cover of 24 and my conert ticket. He was so nice and we even got a picture together. He's not as tall as I thought he was lol but that's ok. Best celebrity experience ever.
I hope guns 3 happens. Emilio is a good director and this is his defining role. This could work!
I was fourteen or fifteen when the first movie came out. I still love it to this day, and bon Jovi's blaze of Glory from part 2 is one of my all-time favorite songs.
Mine too!
YG one and two were both EXTREMELY fun movies to watch,and even still to this day. I hope part three will do them justice in greatness.
I loved Both of these movies. It was so much fun watching them in theaters.
I actually used to hate westerns. It was these movies that got me to liking them.
This was my introduction to one of the greatest actors of all time.......he was in Back to the Future......this...and perhapes another great cult classic you need to talk about.... 3 o'clock High!!!!! Mr. Casey Siemaszko. I love 3 oclock High. Buddy vs Dont Fuck this up Mitchell!!!!
This was the first time I learned it was shot in the winter. I always had that impression watching it, contrasting to YGII which seemed "warm". I was in the theatre business when they both came out and enjoyed them both. Emilio was simply wonderful, with a spirit of both intelligence and irreverence that was electric to watch. Loved the Silvestri score in the second film, and the beautiful cinematography which captured the southwest landscape better than the first film. Good cast, and a good telling of the story.
Considering how hot the springs and summers are, winter shooting may have been a blessing.
i had this on vhs. whenever there was nothing on tv on a saturday or sunday afternoon. we popped in Young Guns.
One of my dad’s favorite Western movies
I love these movies. I was 10 in 1988 and remember seeing this for the first time. I hope you're going to cover part 2!
Loved this movie. Nearly as many great one-liners as Tombstone.
"Reap the Whirlwind Murphy, REAP IT". Still one of the best lines in cinema. Gives me chills everytime.
Thank you for this tribute! This movie and its sequel are staples of my youth. The action and human drama really hold up. And Emilio’s laugh is iconic.
I really love these Movies. If I'm having a sucky day. I still go home and watch these movies. Always great fun.
I must have seen this movie 10 times at the drive-in when it came out I loved it so much... Truly iconic
Ah, heck yeah! I love both Young Guns movies. Emilio is so chaotic here, I love it!! Certified my love for him. Tremendous casting all around tbh.
I'm watching this again tonight.
One of my favorite westerns of all time.
I was late 20’s when the movies first came out, they were cool af at the time including in the UK where I was
talk about a film that sooo many people haven't heard of and Emilio was great in: "that was then this is now" highly recommended.
This is a blast from the past, i haven't seen nor heard of this since I first saw it as a child.
Oh I am terrified to learn they are doing a third in the series. Young Guns remains one of the few franchises not yet ruined by Hollyweird's DEI bullshit.
Old Drag Guns😂👀
My favourite western since the day I first saw it.
This is truly one of the most iconic westerns of the 1980's. I hope that when they do get on track with making the third movie, that the studio gets the film rights to the previous films, and gives them a proper re-issue on physical media; including but not limited to:
- 4K UHD
- Blu-ray/DVD
- Digital Code
I saw a display at a local Wal-Mart where they listed Young Guns alongside other westerns like The Hateful Eight and the remake of 3:10 to Yuma. Those westerns had a 4K release with digital code, while Young Guns had the standard blu-ray.
I pray they make the upgrade....
"Regulators.....Mount up."
I'd love to see a box set after YG3 comes out for purchase. In all formats of course.
Regulators, mount up
Yet another fantastic video, thanks so much!! I hadn't seen this somehow
Absolutely recommended watch. Amazing cast. Classic film.
Love these 2 movies! "Yoo hoo, I'll make you famous." One of the best quotes from a movie
Even as a kid it seemed to me those guys were having fun making that movie. Really solid movies.
Not only one of the greatest Western movies (in my humble opinion) of all time, it's one of the greatest movies of all time period!!! The chemistry between the lead actors is brilliant and the depiction here of Billy the Kid and the Regulators story is just simply epic.
Blaze of Glory, one of the greatest movie song ever
Wrong movie
Used to watch the first and second Young Guns movies everyday
I remember going to the Theatres to see both of them. Great movies. I watch Them all the time on DVD
The Young Guns movies were some of the best westerns ever made.
I would absolutely watch a Part 3! These movies are gold!
BTW, This is Morgan Creek’s first film, Who go on to produce Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and Ace Ventura movies.
I can't be the the only one with an older sister who REALLY liked this movie. 😂
There's more eye candy in this than all three Magic Mike movies.
Kiefer Sutherland has great range. He was lovable and cuddly in this but films like Freeway or Eye For an Eye hes an absolute monster
I met and worked with the traitor McCloskey in the movie that Billy kills by the river. I worked on the tv show Leverage with him for a few days. This movie is a classic and even tom cruise goes bye bye in this movie. Can't wait for Guns 3 and it seems like Chavez ended up surviving the sequel because Lou Diamond Phillips has read and enjoyed the new screenplay, he mentioned it in a recent interview. "Charlie Crawford ain't with ya anymore!" classic Billy line and scene. cheers from Australia 🍺😺🐴
Before this movie I had never heard of Billy The Kid. But after watching the movie I became obsessed(for lack of better words) about Billy The Kid and watched documentaries and read all of books
Loved this movie. Its a fun action western flick!
Great movie always watched both parts as a kid. Young Guns 1 had a different feel than Young Guns 2 but both stand on their own as classic westerns. The music was great for both of them too with the first one having an 80s sound. I always let the credits play at the end of Young Guns 1 to listen to the theme music.
wow, I can t wait to see all those guys together again!
it will be a blast to check all the movies back to back afterwards.
good show team.
"Mistah muuhfy say im not a necessary"
Great movie. I remember recording this off TV years ago. 😊
I grew up with these movies, and still love them
My favorite western and also can you believe the cast of this movie, a who's who of actors big and small at the time, and some who became huge later! WOW!
I love Young Guns. My great grandma and family in general are all from NM. My great G told us that her grandfather actually knew BTK. Whether its true or not - I dont know, but have always been infatuated with his legend.
Young Guns 2 is on My top 10 favorite movies of all time. I went to the theaters as a kid twice to see it.
I need to rewatch this movie and the sequel! My wife wasnt too impressed with Silverado when we watched it recently. So hoping she'll give it a chance. I loved it.
That's a bit of a surprise?
Silverado & Tombstone are probably the best introduction into the genera of Westerns.
My all time favorite western! Seen it in the theater at 8 or 9 years old and it’s still a timeless classic. Emilio doesn’t get enough credit and praise for his iconic performance of Billy The Kid
My dad loved this movie, I always planned on carving “Pals” into his tombstone, he would’ve loved that, if he didn’t marry a women who had him cremated, even though her stepsons told her we would pay for the burial and the tombstone, she said “she didn’t want to have to go to a cemetery to see him, she could just keep him home, but his sons are welcome to come to her house and visit him,”
Unrelated but my stepmom never ceases to stupefy me…..
Grew up watching this movie. I can still remember all the previews they had on the VHS
Awesome! I learned some stuff about that movie I had no idea about, Thank you!
I was out in Lincoln County NM a few years ago. Toured the courthouse Billy escaped from. It was a cool little place to see.
The Young Guns Franchise takes me back to early teens everytime I watch it.
I remember seeing Young Guns at the theater in high school, bought the VHS as soon as it came out, it and YGII are my favorite all time movies...we must've watched them 1000's of times, in fact I still periodically watch them now, as they take me back to the good ole days...I sure hope they in fact, make the Young Guns III..great take on the flick bro.
I've seen this movie a million times...maybe two million.
Great movie, great cast. 👏🏼
I love how you were able to bring up interesting facts I didnt know about a movie I love. This is after watching so many youtube clips comparing the movie to the real story and comic con reunions as well. For instance, I had no idea Tom Cruise was an extra.
Excellent effort. Just facts and good narration. No schtick- Thank you
I had never watched a Western Film untill Young Guns came out and I only watched it since I was interested in the History of Billy the Kid and of course the Mystery of did he die by Pat Garrett or did he live to a ripe old age. I love both Young Guns and Young Guns 2.
I actually like the sequel more than the original, and the original rules.
>”HI, BOB!!!”
>(both barrels)
>”Goodbye, Bob!”
Best dollar eighty I ever spent!
Historians today have said that YOUNG GUNS is the most accurate portrayal of Billy The Kid.
Maybe his personality but the events of the two movies are not very accurate
Actually a lot of it is. The buckshot Robert's situation did happen accept in real life he injured 5 regulators while killing Dick. Charlie Bowdrie's death was how they killed Doc in part 2. Pat Garret & Billy the kid weren't friends but knew of each other. The house he found Billy in when he actually killed him was a mutual friend of There's. Also there was really a Brushy Bill Robert's who said he was Billy the kid though most historians don't believe that
Also the regulators really were trapped in a house however instead of a shootout they miraculously escaped and to this day no one can explain how
70% but yes quite accurate, aside from a few Minor details the big ones are Doc is ALREADY married to a girl BEFORE he met billy and actually got a happy ending never came back (Shavez coming back is actually more plausible due to records saying he relapsed back into crime) other then to that yes definitely, many of his confrontations and the words they say can actually be found and actually happened, and Emelios take on the character: "In his darkest of dangerous moods, his face always wore a smile. He ate, laughed, drank, laughed, rode, laughed, fought, then laughed; he would kill; then laugh."- an eye witness testimony. Sound familiar? 😂
It's the most accurate, because there aren't many adaptations of the Lincoln County War. I'd say the writers knew their history good, and most changes were just for the sake of a good flowing movie, but there are still many not so small diffferences to the real history.
WAIT! Crossroads and The Principal are connected to Young Guns?! Oh! It's a week late, but what a heckuva birthday present!!
The Principal is a gem
The Young Guns series is another one of those movies where my daughter chose to watch that with her other little friends instead of some Disney/Pixar/kid movie. I love it!
My favourite western of all time
One of my favorites as a kid. It inspired me to get into the old west at that time. I remember getting books from the library to learn more about Billy The Kid.
The 80s were an awesome time for many reasons, including music and the actors in the industry at that time. So many young, seemingly authentic and charismatic actors back then that hasn't really been seen since, or before (at this scale) for that matter. Try getting a group together today. You can't because they are all to haughty and self-important.
Yes!!!
I introduced my kids to Young Guns, and it became one of their favorites! One & two!!!
Super excited to hear that they are doing a number three! It’s almost time to introduce my grandson 😊
i loved those movies, my dvd's are to scratched up to play anymore i guess i need to buy them again..and i am so looking forward to the next movie !!!.
I was ten when this movie come out and let me tell ya i wore that vhs tape out 😂 it’s one of my most favorite movies 🤙🏽 always a classic
Always loved these movies. Had no idea of the camios
One of the top 3 westerns, IMO.
First one was good but the second was my very earliest memory of western cinema and bonjovi its just a great classic for me
Emilio hasn't been in anything for a long time. This will be fun to see. I hope it makes it to release.
Have been a YG’s fan since first watch’ been enamored with everything Lincoln County War and the West ever since’ thanks Mr Fusco and cast! Can’t wait for the 3rd installment to drop!
"did you see the size of that chicken?"
bro, this is a really great video, better than those '10 things you didn't know about' videos, first time here but ya'll got me hooked =)
Young guns, tombstone, unforgiven, the quick and the dead. All great movies
I love young guns to me. It's one of the more underrated westerns I've ever seen. It's a little hokey in areas but I think the cast that their best to try to make it as entertaining as possible.
Would watch a guns 3. No doubt. 1st 2 were just so much fun and just good.
I watched those movies a few months ago on the recommendation of my dad, and I am opsessed with them! They do have their fair shair of flaws, but they are just so much fun like no other movie! I love them for what they are, and could easely talk hours about them ❤️
One of my all time favorite movies, seems like Emelio disappeared after young guns 2. He's a great actor
The sound track too young guns 2 is absolutely amazing. Billy get your guns..
It took me growing up, being an adult to realize, they just killed General Zod!!! This and the 2nd one are great. I have the soundtrack for the 2nd one on cassette tape, What can i say, that was the best 1.82 i ever spent.
