Young Guns II is a 1990 western film starring Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips and Christian Slater.
Three of the original five “young guns” – Billy the Kid (Emilio Estevez), Jose Chavez y Chavez (Lou Diamond Phillips), and Doc Scurlock (Kiefer Sutherland) – return in Young Guns II, which is the story of Billy the Kid and his race to safety in Old Mexico while being trailed by a group of government agents led by Pat Garrett (William Petersen). Along the way, Billy's crew gains three new recruits: Arkansas Dave Rudabaugh (Christian Slater), Tom O'Folliard (Balthazar Getty), and Hendry French (Alan Ruck).
Though the film suffers from an uneven script, many performances – particularly Slater's – are surprisingly strong, and the movie looks great. The theme song, “Blaze of Glory,” is performed by Jon Bon Jovi in his first solo appearance; the rocker also has a cameo in the film.
