Young Guns II (1990) A Re-evaluation


Listen Later

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.

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?
