I remember really loving it when I was young.

I just started watching it now. Charlie Sheen calling Emilio Estevez "Billy" (pronounced Bill-ay, of course) is making me cringe. Don't know if I can take much more.

Then again, a young cowboy Jack Bauer.... hmmm...

My cousin Mikey(24 yo) still loves it. He hated Kill Bill.

Redeems himself with his love for Jerry Sienfield and Office Space.

I'm watching it too. It was pretty cool when Emilio blew that guys brains all over Kiefer's face. I've only seen part two before this.

I enjoyed Young Guns when it came out, dunno if I'd still feel the same today.

When Young Guns came out (1988), westerns were a dead genre. I don't think there had been a decent one in a decade previous. So everyone went "OMG this rocks!".


Then Tombstone(1993), Unforgiven(1992), Wyatt Earp(1994), Dances With Wolves (1990), Maverick were released in a 6 year period after that movie. People said, "Wow, thats a fucking western. Young Guns is a pile of fluff crap." Then the release of Young Guns 2 just reaffirmed that.


But there is alot of good in Young Guns 1. The whole "origin" sets up pretty nice. Keifer Sutherland is awesome as usual, and Estevez probably has his best role as crazy/funny Billy the Kid. The ending was a nice touch also. That being said ... the other movies I mentioned all take a big shit on that movie.

I always considered the Young Gun movies to just be fun-filled flicks with a lot of shit talking from the gang. In essence they're not in the same timezone as the classic Man With No Name trilogy, but on their own I thought they were pretty enjoyable. That said it's been a while since I've watched 'em, so who knows how I'd feel now.

Hell yes Young Guns is good. Perhaps Lou Diamond Phillips's finest performance. I'd go so far as to say that Young Guns 2 is also good.

Edit: fixed the spelling of Lou Diamond Phillips (as far as I know)

Thats how I felt when I watched part 2. Still love the first one though.
