The Young Guns Series : Two Classic Westerns That Need More Love

  • Back in the 1980s, the Brat Pack was riding high, and one of their charter members was Emilio Estevez. The son of Martin Sheen and brother of Charlie Sheen, for a long time he was the biggest star to emerge from the group. Probably his two biggest films were the Young Guns movies. The first film, which came out in 1988, paired Estevez with his brother and an all-star cast, including Lou Diamond Phillips and Kiefer Sutherland. The movie was a big hit and led to a sequel which was meant to end the saga of Estevez’s William Bonney, aka Billy The Kid. Yet, more than thirty years later, Estevez is considering revisiting the character, so now’s a good time to revisit these two classic westerns, which hold up really well all these years later.

    This movie has a lot of sentimental value to me, not only are both movies great , but YG2 was the first movie that my mom and I went to together. Mom is no longer here anymore, so this movie reminds me of a better time

      ​@@hyperchordBecause these movies are westerns like The Good The Bad And The Ugly and Tarantino's The Hateful Eight these movies need more recognition Silverado is one of most underrated westerns from the 1980s and Young Guns 1 and 2 are the best because these movies really need a audience because they are westerns have you seen The Hateful Eight?

    These films were my north star as a young kid growing up in rural southwest Montana, still watch both at least once a year. They definitely take some liberties but in a lot of ways they stay closer to the true story than many other Hollywood westerns dealing with historical events. And while not perfect, Billy the Kid seems to have been more of a good guy than a lot of other western outlaws.

  • @mcnultyssobercompanion6372
    @mcnultyssobercompanion6372 Місяць тому +6

    Estevez is an underrated filmmaker. Over the years he's quietly amassed a respectable filmography of small, character-driven films, usually buoyed by a social conscience. They're not bombastic, they're not going to blow your hair back, but the ones I've seen are solid films. A few are even pretty moving.
    What also stands out in my memory is they're all prototypical films-directed-by-an-actor, visually unremarkable but jammed with excellent performances. Like many actor/filmmakers, Estevez seemingly has no problem directing his colleagues.
    Paired with the right DP, a "Young Guns" film directed by Estevez could be really interesting.

    Young Guns is a movie on my watch list now! I feel like when I was a kid I may of seen it, but it sure as hell wasn't no kids movie. I know that I've at least heard of it. A third movie sounds like it's way overdue and after all this time that would be really amazing to see happen!

    First saw this at an outdoor theater in Bahrain leading up to Desert Storm. EVERYONE, from privates to pilots, was reenacting the pose where they point their guns at the camera (you know the one) but with 1911s and Berettas in place of Peacemakers. I know because I was usually the poor guy asked to take the picture....

    There are two confirmed photos of Billy the Kid, but the second is taken at a distance of a group of people playing a game. These two are my favorite westerns of all time. And the made for TV movie from TNT A dollar for the dead is also in the top five. If you want a young guns 3. Go see Dollar for the Dead. It's Emilio in another western.

    If there was a movie to warm the market for westerns, Young Guns was it. Not many westerns in the 80’s, Silverado bombed and The Man From/Return To Snowy River movies seemed under promoted but earning more than expected. Young Guns 2 is good but contrasting it to the first respectfully puts it at ok. There’s so much more being stuffed in and not to its disadvantage, but Young Guns kept a fast pace and 2 seemed to drag a little.
