Description

Matt and Todd saddle up once more for another ride with Emilio Estevez as Billy "The Kid" and his posse:

Lou Diamond Phillips as Chavez y Chavez and Kiefer Sutherland as Josiah "Doc" Scurlock, in Young Guns II, the 1990 sequel to the 1988 classic.

Directed by Geoff Murphy.

Does this follow-up stand the test of time? Let's find out.

Matt has spent over three decades dismissing it, while Todd mostly overlooked it. Now, they set aside old frustrations for a fresh viewing.

Plagued by production challenges and lukewarm reviews upon release, Young Guns II was written off by many. But was that judgment too harsh? Could there be a genuinely great Western hidden beneath the criticism?
