- Young Guns was one of the best westerns of the 1980's, featuring a perfect performance from Emilio Estevez as Billy The Kid alongside his fellow Regulators, all born from an idea from screenwriter John Fusco, who was inspired to bring a historically accurate, action-packed slice of the wild west to the big screen.
So this documentary will break down twenty things you probably never knew about Young Guns (1988), covering all the most interesting easter eggs, references and behind the scenes stories from the making of this nostalgic western, including what was really in the Peyote, the Tom Cruise cameo that you never noticed and what Emilio Estevez really thought of Young Guns being a lifelong fan of Sergio Leone.

No one could have played that part better than Estevez.
That's one of my favorite movies . I've seen it countless times . In fact I'm watching it after this video .
With the span of 34 years between the last movie released in this one what is it going to ride a wheelchair
Emilio Estevez apparently lobbied pretty hard to get the role. I guess originally they wanted Kiefer Sutherland to play Billy and Emilio to play Doc. I'm glad Emilio got the role of Billy though, such a natural for that part!
You 100 percent right
I've never met the kid but he is indeed perfect for that role.. He will always be Billy the kid for me. In movies
the part with billy on his horse backwards "hey did you know we're in the spirit world". The whole peyote sequence was epic and hilarious!!!
Did you see the size of them God damn chickens!!!
Young Guns And Tombstone are some of the best westerns I've ever seen.
And "The Unforgiven" with Clint Eastwood.
So you're saying you've never seen the first 20 minutes of Once Upon A Time In The West? Lol
@@jjburkk Never seen it.
@@jjburkk nope.
And Emilio Estevez in Dollar for the Dead or Paul Newman in Hombre and Sam Raimi’s Quick and the Dead
Saw Young Guns in the theatre as a kid and it blew my mind. One of my faves to this day because it marked a moment in cinema at an impressionable age
same. i was 8 when this came out.
'88 was the year my dad and i started hitting the theaters regularly in what would become our routine well through the 90s.
I was 16, and saw it on a date at a drive-in! I remember the scene where they took peyote and dude puked just standing there really left an impression upon me, and I never did peyote, lol.
I would love to see this in a cinema....was too young but I've watched this movie every year for decades
When I was in 7th grade my gf was begging me to take her to a specific movie I had zero interest in seeing on opening night. But I wanted to make her happy so I went.
It ended up being a great movie called, The Princess Bride!
Hell yes!!
I freaking loved Young Guns and Young Guns 2. They are classics and fn rock even now.❤
Emilio Estevez should have won an Oscar for this role !!!!
Has he been to the island?
Winning an Oscar is way overrated
The best scene from Young Guns is when Billy calls down to the sheriff.
Billy: "Hey Peppin!"
Peppin: "I'm hearin ya Bonney."
Billy: "I see ya got Charlie Crawford down there with ya."
Peppin: "Yeah, we got a whole bunch...." A shot to the head takes out the man standing next to Peppin.
Billy: "Hey Peppin, Charlie Crawford ain't with ya anymore." Billy's maniacal laugh gets me every time. lol
It would have been funny if Billy named another guy near the sheriff and that guy gets scared and runs away.
@JoeR,. Great idea. That would have been great.
You are correct. Best scene in the film. 🤣🤣🤣
A dang good scene. My favorite scene in Young Guns 2..."White Oaks, you can kiss my a$$"
😆🤣😂🫡👍YES-BEST PART FOR SURE !
And charlie Crawford was Charlie Sheen's name in two n a half men tv show
Estevez is one of the most underrated actors and underachieving actors of all time. He should have been an even bigger star than he was for less than a decade.
He did become a brilliant director. Also, I think you need to look up what 'underachieving' means.
@@sandoumir4348 Of course I’ll look it up for you. I don’t mind helping.
Underachieving: (verb, used without object) to perform below expectations or achieve less than expected, especially by others.
@@SatoshiHODL and your conclusion is? I mean, kudos for being able top copy paste, but did you even attempt to understand what it means?
Or do you tell me you expected him to perform better? I think he did great in most of his roles, to be honest. What are your criticisms of his performance, in particular?
Just curious.
@@sandoumir4348 You mad ma’am, or are you a comedian? I don’t disagree with your first post in any way and I merely helped you as you recommended I do, by defining ‘underachieving’. I also agree that Emilio is quite the accomplished and brilliant actor, but that he never reached the heights of his field that he should’ve, based on said brilliance, for reasons unknown.
Let me share a secret with you: (in my gentlest whisper) TWO THINGS CAN BE TRUE AT THE SAME TIME! (1) In this case, Emilio is a brilliant actor, and (2) underachieved where he should have been as an actor.
@@sandoumir4348You can’t be this ignorant. HODL isn’t disagreeing 🤦
I dont care what anyone says, young guns is a cult classic for all of us 80’s babies that grew up watching movies like the lost boys, la bamba and 3 o’clock high. I LOVED young guns when it came out in made my dad take me to see it twice in the theater lol.
Great titles!
2 was better
I went to the theater multiple times as well! I love this movie!
Young Guns and YG2 are among my top westerns. I would watch them anytime I was home from school sick growing up. I still watch them often.
👍
Same here I enjoyed both those movies and it was actually young guns that got me into hockey ironically. I always liked the classics of the 80's and 90's movies instead of all the new stuff they were putting out for children my age, watched YGs because I had a crush on Emilio at the time so I started trying to find other movies of his which is harder than you think back before the internet and found Mighty Ducks with him as coach. Next thing you know I'm a big hockey fan, side note my teams in the playoffs lets hope they will this time
They're both not very good
@@docsavage8640 Seriously?
@@docsavage8640 To each their own. Good entertainment in my opinion.
Young Guns II is one of my all time favorite movies. One I can watch over and over and never get tired of.
I agree with you, I loved YG2 more than 1
These movies me and my uncle would watch time n time again when I was a kid. I wasn't fan of his westerns but young guns and the shootist was my favorite 2 watch with him. Good old days I tell ya at my mamaws house.
Did you guys see the size of that chicken! 😮😂
"Why ain't they killing us"
" They can't see us, we're in the fucking spirit world "
Big reptilian chicken!
We're in here.. and he's out there... doin it with his HORSE
I always pictured that chicken Steve saw was prolly at least 5-6 off the ground. If not 10
Dirty Steve, best character.
Both of the young guns movies were a big part of my youth. Even today if I find myself channel surfing, when I come across either of those movies I can't seem to click it anymore.
I’ve seen Young Guns more times than every other western combined. I still watch it every time I see it flipping through channels.
Young guns 2: specifically the scene with Doc's last stand: "Billy!.... let's finish the game."
What a powerful scene that was!
Fun fact...That used the Doc character for that scene, but that scene is actually the real life death of Charlie Bowdre.
Both young Guns 1 and 2 were born to be classics. It should be left at two.
It was a glorious time to grow up in the 80’s. Many great movies including this one right here, Young Guns! I must’ve seen this move 100 times. It never gets old. The John Kinney chase was pure 🔥 🔥🔥
John Kinney must've been a dang good shot and steady and collected in a fight. Cause the man just made a huge target.
Seeing this as a thirteen year old was incredible. It was the first western I though of as being made for me rather than for my dad, and I thought Silverado was kind of a crossover movie for both of us. Saw Young Guns multiple times in the theatre that summer and convinced several friends to watch it with me instead of them seeing Die Hard. When I was in high school I could recite almost the entire script word for word. It cemented a lifelong love of westerns and the old west lore
Really interesting, thanks for sharing
I loved this movie so much as a kid. Saw it when I was 10 or 11. That's why I loved it so much because it didnt feel like one of those old time westerns. It did feel like a brat pack kind of movie. I couldn't believe they were making a sequel and begged my mom to take me to the theater for it. Loved it too, but hated to see Doc and Chavez die. I cried!
Absolute Classic Film...Part 2 is even Better!
I love the line from part 2 when Pat.Garrett said even their horses are crazy LO.L
😅🤣😂 not good movies
Great movies!!!!!!!!
I think I've ever made it through Young Guns 2, if I even bothered to.
I liked part 1 better, part 2 was kinda the downward fall of Billy which was kinda hard to watch.
I love this movie so much. It never get old. I love part 2 as well. 2 fantastic movies and I’ve been waiting for decades for a part 3.
@Jayhawk9,. That is an absolutely great idea! With sequels all over the place, I believe it definitely would be a hit. It would have to be done very carefully, like Billy the kid lives and as many characters as possible from the other movies that didn't get killed. The lawyers wife, who actually did become a cattle baroness.
I love it too. And it's an intrinsic part of my younger years. I have to admit though, I get what Emilio is talking about. I love Young Guns for what it is...but it doesn't have that classic western feel to it. It just doesn't. And as much as I love the original, and really like the sequel, I think the 3rd one is a horrible idea
Young guns is still my favorite Western. By far
One of the best movies ever made
I’ve seen this movie many times but the end scene always gets my blood pumping
I saw this movie in the theater as a kid. When Chavez Chavez showed up with the horses after they broke out of the house at the end...I completely lost it
For my senior year on spring break, we went to Lincoln County! It was freaking awesome!
The worst movies of the eighties are better than anything made today
Same with everything else.
Agreed
I agree 100%
If anyone reading this loves the Young Guns movies, you have to see Old Henry. It's epic!
I love Young Guns 1&2. The cast was great, especially Emilio Esteves. No one could have played him better.
This is one of my favorite westerns. Just behind Tombstone.
“I’ll make you famous.”
The best two gunslinger films ever..
I liked both movies but I think the second one is better. It visually has more of that western feel and also portrays Billy as a charismatic figure who is starting to believe his own legend with tragic results for those that followed him.
Well said
One of my all time favorites
Great movie and great times the 80s Dam I got old I'm still watching it 2024! 🍺🤠🍿
Young Guns 2 is one of if not my favorite movie of all time!
Never understood why this film never gets any recognition myself ... must've conservatively watched the film 100 times back in the 80s/90s ... Great casting, the chest scene ... wow, just wow ..
Great film, great cast. great sound track.
One of my favourite films of all time. Absolutely love it. Great actors
It’s nice to find a review that gives this movie the respect it deserves.
I've seen this fantastic movie dozens of times. Now I have I learned so much about it that I never knew. What a brilliant video.
Young Guns and Young Guns 2 are amazing!!! Loved all the actors!!! Bon Jovi had a part in the second movie too! He was the long hair guy in The Pit. I have watched these movies several different times through the years and my kids, well they are in their mid 20's now, love both movies also!! ❤
My favorite western movie of all time!!
Young Guns is one of my all time favorite movies! Great cast….great writing….
This and Repo Man are Emilio's greatest roles.
No. "Wisdom" is his best work. "That Was Then This is Now" and "The Breakfast Club" are right behind.
Thank you for this awesome content i love young guns it is my favorite western and one of my favorite movies of all time.
One of my favorites of all time.
I'm a bit of a novice Western historian, and always loved Billy the Kid, but not just the legend, or even the real man, but the countless (mis?)interpretations of his life and story. I have not seen all of the films/shows, but all that I have seen just goes to show how legends are born. Truth can be received without fully being understood, and sometimes a simple shift in perspective can recontextualize an entire event or story. I love that there is still so much passion in telling this story, because honestly, you can tell it a hundred more times a hundred different ways, and it's just as interesting as the first time.
No way! A third movie? That’s so cool! Great video
I have enjoyed this movie ever since I was a kid. Classic
Nice work, bro! 🤘
Thanks man
❤❤❤❤ Hello friends JUST WESTERNS. We are a team of Sports writers and Togheter with or Edtitors and Directores from our National Agency Brazil, with great honor, we are interacting with you, to congratulate you on the YOUNG GUNS Film article.... All the actors who are part of it, they are extraordinary, but the biggest higlight for us Brazilians is, without a doubt our Icon LOU DIAMOND PHILLIPS. We have already wact watched several films woth him. We thank the film LA BAMBA witch made him an actor and filmmaker who revolutionized the entire generation of international cinema. Congratulations Lou Diamond Phillips! Congratulations to you too. Hugs. Marisa Pereira de Arruda Editor-in-chief of Sports Brazil ❤❤❤❤
Hello Marisa! You are right. Lou Diamond Phillips is a wonderful and talented actor who continues to do amazing work on screen. His speech in 'Young Guns' is very powerful and would have been too difficult for many actors to do convincingly but he did it perfectly and you believe every word he says in that speech.
My wife and I loved watching him play our favourite character in the recent TV series called 'Longmire'.
I hope I get to see him in many more roles.
Now you guys have Poatan, Alex Pereira!! 🗿🗿🗿CHAMA!!
Best Billy the Kid movie ever, this movie changed westerns. So awesome. Correction on 4:26: Don't forget Casey Siemaszko's earlier (1987) role in "3 O'clock High"!
I love them both, I saw both of them in the theaters and went back to see them more then once
This film is nostalgic and precious to me! An absolute classic! I cry in the beginning because it Always reminds me of my late best friend/brother/best man!
Great movie! Gotta give some love too though to Casey Siemaszko for Three O’Clock High.
Agreed.
Cool info, thanks. 💯
I remember riding my bike to the movie rentals to watch this over and over! Loved it! The 2nd one as well!
Great movie(s) man, excellent video you made
That was informative and easy to watch
thank you, you did this movie justice.
Probably in the top ten most underrated films of the 80s. I feel like people looked at this as a brat-pack version of a western, but tis much much more, especially when you have heavy western hitters like Jack Palance, and also the great Terrance Stamp. It's also a rare situation where a sequel is just as good as the first (Young Guns II). Love it. Watched it obsessively growing up. And always pointed at Tom Cruise cameo to my Mom at the end shootout scene. Ha. I haven't even watched the video yet, but I'm sure you'll back me up on this.
Excellent mini doc on YG. Loved the movie .
What great memories of both YG I & II. Me and 2 other friends of mine were reenactment actors from the New Mexico Gunfighters got hired to do some stunts for the movies. Got a picture with the autographs of crew that played the parts of the regulators.
The fun times on the movie set and the adventures we had will not be forgotten.
I actually saw Young Guns 2 before seeing the original Young Guns and I loved it. Interesting seeing them in reverse order.
Don't know wich one i like more, haven't watched them in over 25 years...
Great video, thanks for all the information
Man, I loved that movie when it came out! Still enjoy it very much…
I liked it ! Still 1 of my favorites! And the cast spectacular !!
Young guns 2 is way better than the first one ......best dollar 80 I ever spent 😂
I initially liked the film but found it a little too "hip" for its own good. Years later, I think it's excellent! Gritty, dusty, and awesome!
One of my favorite movies growing up.
I can't believe Tom Cruise played that small part.
Very interesting overall.
I love Young Guns 1 and 2. The thought of a 3rd is awesome 👍👍
I loved young guns and can watch Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns all day. Tombstone is still the best western ever ever made in my eyes
In 1990, while I was in the US Army, got deployed to the Persian Gulf with the 1st Cavalry Division. Young Guns 2 had just came out, in August I think. In our initial staging area, there was a natural depression in the desert next to the Persian Gulf shoreline that had a big flat cliff face; kind of a natural amphitheater. The Division, or at least a big part of it, was mustered there one night where they projected Young Guns 2 onto the cliff face, with speakers surrounding the top. That is one of my favorite memories from my early life.
Plus, Judas Priest had just come out with Painkiller, which in my opinion was a great soundtrack for that war
One of my favorite movies.
superb video
Good Vid👍
I grew up on old cowboy movies because of my mom and grandma. I didn't like any of them. This was the first western that I enjoyed. Both the original and the sequel are still my favorite westerns and I'll watch them anytime that I see them on TV. Also, I'm not even a Bon Jovi fan, but Blaze of Glory is an amazing song. The lyrics fit the movie so perfectly. It's one of the greatest movie soundtrack songs ever written.
BEST WESTERN EVER FOR ME
I recently had the opportunity to view this film and found it to be an exceptional cinematic experience.
Did you guys see the size of that chicken
Hey dog, you see the size of that chicken?? 😅
Young guns was a great part of my childhood seen both movies dozens of times. Maybe more. Loved them.
I didn't think I'd learn anything new but I really did. Great video. The first one is my favourite. I watched it recently after a decade or so. Still knew every line. Estevez played Billy as a sociopath and it was quite a thing to watch. The first movie has much more heart simply because of the Charlie Bowdry character. Learning that the woman was meant to be his real mother...wow! The main criticism I have is the slo mo in the finale and the point where it looks like Chavez pushes Steve off the horse. The second one is good, but the tone is so different. I don't watch it over and over. However, I do like the cheeky scenes where Billy's in jail awaiting trial.
Awesome movie ❤
I was taken to see this on a date when I was 15 and discovered I like westerns!
Watched it over n over
one of our favourite westerns its a classic
All my friends and I loved Young Guns. My dad took us the first day it came to our theater, but we ended up sneaking into it at least another 3 times.
I still like the first one best.
I was old enough to see it in a theater but didn't. I caught it on cable and fell in love with it. I was like 12 and it made a huge impression on me. I didn't hate the second film, but it just felt different.
Always watch both...couldn't pick a favourite
I love the movie (1&2) and im also very grateful for "blaze of glory", its such a good song.
My Uncle Bill loved westerns, the Young Guns movie made me understand why.
hands down young gun, young guns 2 and Tombstone are by far the best westerns.
Love this movie
Both flicks were dope. The casting changes were clutch. I can't imagine anyone else as Billy. These were two of my favorite movies as a kid. My generation were the last ones to play cowboys and indians in the 90's i think lol.
Both were great. The second one is arguably the best of the 2. It didn't disappoint
I love this movie!! It was so great!!
one of my favorite movies.
Fantastic movie!
Young Guns III? Mannnnnnn!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!! I saw the first two in the theater, and I own them both, today. Just so everyone understands, back in the 80's We didn't really respect movie reviewers. Back then everyone knew that they were just shills.
Fantastic movie, even still today!!
I would definitely love to see a Young Guns 3.
