They had to come back and milk this Cash Cow for a seocnd time but the results are actually quite good. While the sequel wasn't better than the first - it had an air of authenticity about it as the story was based on an account of a man claiming to be the Billy the Kid surfacing forty years or so after he was supposedly shot dead.

Continuation of a so-so story, now with Billy the Kid fleeing to Mexico and picking up recruits on the way. An attractive cast and the wildly popular song "Blaze of Glory" by Bon Jovi might make it an entertaining film, but it falls well short of great. My suggestion would be to see "Silverado," "Wyatt Earp," or "Unforgiven" instead.

Worth it to see the characters to their bloody ends. The only survivors of the first one (Emilio Estevez, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Keifer Sutherland) all get long, fairly sad death scenes. The movie itself isn't much different than "Young Guns" except for a few fresh faces who were popular at the time, like Christian Slater and Alan Ruck. The main reason I ever liked these movies was because they emphasized the cowboys' fates. They're all gonna die sooner or later, and it's guilty fun watching how and when each of them goes down. If you want to talk story, the Pat Garrett details, extracted from actual accounts of Billy the Kid, are confusing in relation to the first movie, because he was only brief mentioned then, and seemed like an ally. Now he's the villain, but then Billy the Kid is at times villified for his deranged, murderous tendencies. In neither film are the heroes or villains very clearly delineated, a suggestiveness that could be construed as clever objectivity, but ultimately we're supposed to root for the rebellious teen heartthrobs, so there's not much ambiguity after all
