- 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
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
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. 🤣🤣🤣
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.❤
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!!!!!!!!
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.
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 this movie many times but the end scene always gets my blood pumping
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 🔥 🔥🔥
Young guns 2: specifically the scene with Doc's last stand: "Billy!.... let's finish the game."
What a powerful scene that was!
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.
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!
I’ve seen Young Guns more times than every other western combined. I still watch it every time I see it flipping through channels.
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!
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 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.
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 ..
I recently had the opportunity to view this film and found it to be an exceptional cinematic experience.
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.
This is one of my favorite westerns. Just behind Tombstone.
Young Guns was a Classic the day it was made. A Great Modern Western!!!
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
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!! ❤
Young Guns 2 is one of if not my favorite movie of all time!
thank you, you did this movie justice.
A friend who guided them and helped them with horsemanship RIP. Enjoyed the young actors he was a great Cowboy and friend.
My Uncle Bill loved westerns, the Young Guns movie made me understand why.
one of our favourite westerns its a classic
I was taken to see this on a date when I was 15 and discovered I like westerns!
If anyone reading this loves the Young Guns movies, you have to see Old Henry. It's epic!
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.
Both were great. The second one is arguably the best of the 2. It didn't disappoint
Both young Guns 1 and 2 were born to be classics. It should be left at two.
It’s hard to believe but seeing the gatlin gun scene at the end in theaters was one of my earliest memories at about 2 1/2 yo. I remember standing in the back of the theater watching this and thinking how awesome it was. Probably wasn’t there for the whole movie just there waiting with my family to pick up the older kids (as us Mexicans always roll with a relatives entourage, lol). Our movie must have ended sooner, probably Roger Rabbit or something since I kind of have memories of seeing that in a theater too and it was released at about the same time. As an adult those two are some of my favorite films. Moral of the story I guess is you never know when you’re making a memory for a kid.
🤣🤣🤣
❤❤❤❤ 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!!
My fav movies of all time is Young Guns and Young Guns II! I wish they would make a 3rd one!
Don't know wich one i like more, haven't watched them in over 25 years...
Great video, thanks for all the information
The best two gunslinger films ever..
In ‘88 I was 19, and my friends and I would quote this movie constantly. YG2, as well.
I love young guns. Seen it i dunno how many times. Have 2 copies on dvd and 1 on blu ray. Perfect cast.
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!
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.
I remember riding my bike to the movie rentals to watch this over and over! Loved it! The 2nd one as well!
When a movie takes me back in time to wonder what might have happened it draws me to research the known history to where I keep an amazed attitude about these outlaws and their life of desperation and fear to avoid everyone they knew.
Nice work, bro! 🤘
Thanks man
I loved both 1st and 2nd young guns they were written well and I love western history
Remember 1988, this movie was great 👍 one of my favorite Westerns still remember as a kid pretending to get tossed out 2nd story in a chest and jumping out shooting!
Thank you for this awesome content i love young guns it is my favorite western and one of my favorite movies of all time.
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.
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.
Great movie! Gotta give some love too though to Casey Siemaszko for Three O’Clock High.
Agreed.
Regulaaaatoooorrs (slow motion) that peyote scene is awesome.
Did you see the size of that chicken 😂
Young Guns is an example to show no genre is actually "dead", a film of any genre at any time as long as it has a connection to the generation at time of release. The reason the likes of Heavens Gate or Silverado were not successful was that they followed the template of long, slow burn contemplative westerns of the 70s. Young Guns fits perfectly well alongside the faster, high concept, more thrilling movies that made up the biggest hits of the mid to late 80s
That was informative and easy to watch
superb video
I love them both equally. I'm a huge fan of Billy the kid and of most of the characters in this movie no matter who is playing the character of Billy the kid, but I have to admit that Emilio's version of Billy the kid is amazing and he brought an awesome character to life very well. I can't wait to see the 3rd part whenever it comes out.
Most people probably don't realize just how dead the Western genre was right before Young Guns. It's not an epic cinematic masterpiece and it might not be the cleverest or poetic of scripts but it single handedly booted the Western saloon doors back open and modernized perseptions of what a Western could be. Films that resurrect a genre usually only get critical recognition later because at the time old critics don't realize what just happened. Without Young Guns and YG2 would we have had films like Dances with Wolves, Tombstone, Unforgiven, Last of the Mohicans or 3:10 to Yuma? Maybe some but I'm not sure the investors would have been as keen, which could've led to some not being made. That alone makes Young Guns a big deal.
Did you guys see the size of that chicken
Hey dog, you see the size of that chicken?? 😅
Correction needed.
"Brat Pack" was not a term to describe a trend of using young actors. It was a label for a group of specific actors. Emilio Estevez was one of them. It was a play on the group named the "Rat Pack," led by Frank Sinatra 2 decades earlier.
I liked it ! Still 1 of my favorites! And the cast spectacular !!
Love this movie
I myself loved both of the young gun's movies one and two
Got young guns 1 and 2 , great movies to watch over n over , great movie about billy the kid
Growing up in the 80s, I very quickly learned to see movies the critics panned, and avoid the ones they loved... A rule of thumb that still works to this day 😆
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
"Even though I didn't really care for the first movie...I will still take a paycheck to reprise my role, thankyaverymuch!"
Which shouldn't surprise anyone when you consider how many "Mighty Ducks" movies and even a more recent Disney+ series he did. He must really love working with kids on hockey.
Also...that TV Guide review. I know that as a teen back in the 80s, that TV Guide was what I consulted before I went to see a movie in the theatres.
YG"S 3? Estevez as the "Kid"? I am on board. Such great movies. Same with Clint Eastwoods "Unforgiven."
Can't wait for Young Guns 3 to come out
I get where emilio estevez is coming from - it's not Once Upon a Time in the West. But not every movie needs to be one of the greatest movies ever made. Young Guns is fun, and I enjoyed it as a kid in the 80s.
OMG takes my back when I was stationed at Holloman AFB. Definitely my favorite western… Lord I never drew first but I drew first blood I’m a devils son call me Young Gun
Brilliant film with great music. The second film is just as good if not better.
Wish keifer didn’t have scheduling conflicts and would’ve live in the 2nd movie. Personally my favorite western
In total, there were more than 2 dozen Regulators during the entirety of the Lincoln County War. Many were just around for a very short time.
Nice video! I like the 1st Young Guns, but have to kind of agree with Estevez that at the time it felt more like a western that was supposed to be cool because it had hip, young actors. I've always had trouble separating the "brat pack-ness" of the film from seeing it as a more regular western. I want to be reminded of the 1800s, not who was thought of as cool in the late 1980s.
Thank you. And that is a fair point
If I recall correctly, there wasn't anything that passed for a "real" Western until Clint Eastwood returned with "Pale Rider". @@JustWesterns
I love the Young Guns franchise. Can't even try to pick one over the other. I also loved Old Henry. Though not connected directly. I like it as a what-if addition to the franchise.
Young guns 1 and 2 are great filmss. Emilio did great as Billy.. the 2nd one is my favorite!
What Esteves fails to appreciate about Young Guns 1 is that its chaotic, "heavy metal" nature fit that period of the Regulators perfectly. No, it wasn't a traditional Western but that wasn't a traditional Western occurrence either. YG 1 is one of my favorite Westerns simply because it captured the Historical spirit so well and was fairly accurate historically. Young Guns II was a better movie in some regards, but I hold it in far less esteem because it was so historically inaccurate. It's riddled with untruths. Though it did focus on a very plausible truth, that Garrett did not kill Bonney. The problem is the movie used a preposterous claimant. If Bonney survived, he went on to live as John Miller, a man who had no record of existing prior and sported evidence of wounds and physical attributes matching those of Bonney. Miller never laid claim to being Billy the Kid, denied that he was the Kid when recognized as such, and was reluctant to discuss his past with anyone outside of family and closest friends. Accusations of Miller's true identity were denied by Miller's family until 1938 when it finally confirmed that Miller was indeed Bonney who had fled to Arizona to live out his life in peace. Whether it's true, I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. Many oddities surrounded Bonney's supposed murder.
I love this movie!! It was so great!!
Young Guns 3?? i'd check that out!!
As much as I like both young guns movies , tombstone is my favorite Western and on my list of greatest movies ever made.
Emilio, All of them Rock!!! But Kiefer was something special
Awesome movie! 👍
I loved these movies as a kid. The scene with Charlie and the prostitute made me sad. Just a guy who is scared about what’s coming and nowhere to turn for comfort. I never thought it was awkward.
Young guns 2 is one of the few sequels that was better than the first film.
I disagree. Young Guns had more realistic violence and YG II was PG-13.
I enjoyed YG and YG2. I also grew up on all the old westerns, I just enjoy cowboy movies.
One of my favorite movies and I never knew that was supposed to be Charlie's mom
My favorite portrayal of Billy The Kid was in the John Wayne movie Chisum. None of the regulators were in the film, but Tunstal was Billy's mentor in the film.
The lack of Westerns in the 80s is like the lack of Biblical films after the success of The Passion Of The Christ. During the 80s, Silverado and Pale Rider were successful. Then in the 90s, we had Dances With Wolves and Unforgiven (both won Best Picture Oscars) and in 1993, Tombstone came out. It didn't fare very well at the box office, it had a second life on video. The remake of 3:10 To Yuma was a success.
Those movies we're fricking Awesome
Very badass movie from 1988
legendary movie aswell as the second one
My other pet peeve was them making Murphy the main villain. For a guy committed to historical accuracy, Fusco would have known that Murphy was dying of cancer in Santa Fe at the start of the Lincoln County War and died almost 2 years before its conclusion. The main orchestrator of John Tunstalls death and the real villain was James Dolan and should have been the main antagonist of the film.
Both films are Sick . 👑
Young Guns and 2 were tremendous at the time.
I Like Emilio s. Movies!
It’s hard to pick a favorite as I enjoy both of the Young Guns movies. I own the first one on 4K UHD but only have the 2nd one on DVD but would love to have the 2nd one released on 4K UHD as well.
John fusco is one of the nicest people in the world
Great movie!
I couldnt agree more with Estevez. 'the first heavy metal western'. sums it up beautifully. It should have been more 'gritty', and only had music from the era. fancy putting 80s hair-metal rock music in a western movie. People still liked it, I liked it at the time. But in hindsight, I can imagine something much better.
One of the best things about both movies was the music
Loved the movie
