Plots(1)
Billy "The Kid" and his gang is wanted by the law, and when "Doc" Scurlock and Chavez are captured, Billy has to save them. They escape and set south for Mexico. "Let's hire a thief to catch one", John S. Chisum said, so he paid Pat Barrett, one of Billy's former partners, $1000 for the killing of William H. Bonney aka Billy "The Kid". (official distributor synopsis)

Billy the Kid and his crew are back, and they're not going to shoot like they did in the first film. The main blame is the genderless and overly long screenplay, which contains only a few thrilling passages. Everything is thus kept afloat by good acting (especially the nice guy Kiefer Sutherland and the killer with the face of a child Emilio Estevez). Viggo Mortensen's bark is also worth mentioning. Otherwise, however, the Western action average – shootouts do not stick, and the black humor works only sporadically. Yet the story of a group of desperate men escaping the law can be watched without yawning. Out of love for the first Young Guns, I give it three sheriff's stars.
