	Movies - Young Guns II

Young Guns II is a 1990 film, and is the sequel to Young Guns
. It stars Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Christian Slater, and features William Petersen as Pat Garrett. It was directed by Geoff Murphy.

It follows the life of William H Bonney aka Billy the Kid (played by Emilio Estevez) in the years following the Lincoln County Merchant Wars in which Billy was part of "The Regulators" - a group of around 50 highly skilled gunmen avenging the death of John Tunstall, and the years before Billy's documented death. The film however is told by Brushy Bill Roberts - a man who in the 1940s appeared claiming to be the real Billy the Kid.

While the film is not entirely historically accurate it does show some of the key events leading up to Billy's documented death, including his talks with Governor Lew Wallace, his capture by friend-turned-foe Pat Garrett (Played by William Petersen), his trial and his following escape in which he killed two deputies.

Trivia

The only actors to return from the original film
are Emilio Estevez
, Kiefer Sutherland
, and Lou Diamond Phillips
.

Jose Chavez y Chavez (played by Lou Diamond Phillips
) did not die during this time, he lived a long life dying much later in 1924. Similarly the real Josiah Gordon Scurlock (played by Kiefer Sutherland
) died in 1929.

The scene where Arkansas Dave Rudabaugh (played by Christian Slater
) puts a knife through Chavez' arm was added due to Lou Diamond Phillips
' breaking his arm during filming.

When escaping after sentencing Billy shouts out "Hello Bob" before shooting Bob Ollinger, and "Goodbye Bob" afterwards - exactly the same as the real Billy.
