Ok, I don't like to double dip, but I've given this some thought. π€·π»ββοΈ
First off, I love both of your observation skills. I could make a whole video on that. Lol
So when you started questioning the end of Young Guns 1 about Doc and Chavez, I finally started doing the same (after over 30 years of watching). I've always flip-flopped over the years between the two movies. I always thought it was just my own personal interests.
Then I looked up the history. Turns out, Doc and Chavez weren't there for this adventure. Doc was in Texas, not New York. I get it, studio stuff, that's why I've never really questioned it. Tom was actually a year older than Billy and "Arkansas" Dave was "Dirty" Dave. π
Getting to the point, I think YG2 should be watched as its own movie. Same for YG1. The first movie is praised as the most accurate version of any Billy the Kid movie made and the second is more of a Hollywood fantasy. And that's fine for a guy like me. I can watch them back to back, get a little annoyed with the differences, but still love the absolute hell out 'em. But maybe that was the studios intention ( plus money ) to have it stand as its own Billy the Kid movie.
And maybe that's why I flip on them so much. Because it really is two different movies with some of the same cast. Kind of like Aliens and Near Dark (which has Jenny Wright from YG2).π€
Idk, you two make me think a little deeper and I love the hell out you for it. βΊοΈ

Yeah, I owned the soundtrack before I ever saw the flick. But that was the first time I heard the UK Surf version of that song.

A great western I love is the remake of 3:10 to Yuma.

Yeah, a truly great soundtrack, and such a great film. When I was in high school in the mid-nineties Pump up the Volume literally saved my life.

I feel weird doing a dm so Iβll put it here. LA Story is a great romantic comedy by Steve Martin.

I second both of those films, particularly Pump Up the Volume. Loved that film since I was a kid. I still watch it once a year or so. Great soundtrack too. Introduced me to the Pixies, Leonard Cohen (only included in the movie soundtrack for some reason) and Cowboy Junkies.

Oh wow. The YouTube version came up before I had a chance to watch this one. Lol Still doing the full watch-a-long, though.
Here's an episode of Unsolved Mysteries from back in the day that talks about Brushy Bill

Yeah, not sure why STAKEOUT isn't making polls. That second movie wasn't very good though. The only thing I remember is that POV shot in the cat's butt.

I love this cast!
More Emilio Estevez: Stakeout (1987), a great buddy cop/action/comedy/romance with Richard Dreyfuss and a nice supporting cast.
More Christian Slater: Pump up the Volume (1990). Don't be put off by the title. It's a fantastic and powerful coming-of-age story, and Christian Slater's favourite thing he's ever done.

Also check this out. This great work bringing the actual Regulators to life with this technology gave me chills..

Love these movies too man. Grew up on Young Guns.
This guy's channel is interesting. He's done crazy research on Brushy Bill aka Billy

Oh, man. That's neat. I wasn't sold on Brushy Roberts being Billy the Kid. But could be. I do remember at the time they were really focused on the actual facts of his supposed final days. Also, one thing I did notice this time was Bob Ollinger. I only know that name from the CALL OF JUAREZ: GUNSLINGER game where I had to face off with him. Also, LA BAMBA is a great movie. But if they watch that they'll have to hit up THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY. Great double bill. Double Bill? Totally not intended! I guess I'm just a Billy bastard.

What'd you guys call Hendry William French? Slow draw McGraw or something? I love how they set up Brushy Roberts where you really don't know for sure. They establish there's all these dime store books about Billy the Kid floating around, so you are never given a concrete answer. I don't know if these movies set the trend, but YOUNG GUNS was the first movie where they killed off a major star half way through the flick. Because if he can go then anyone can. And after the ending of the first one, the second one just leaves you all tensed up all the way through. But when Doc got shot in Part 2, man, these movies aren't fucking around. And I love the set up with Pat and Billy's relationship all the way to the end. Also, for a PG-13 movie, this was pretty bloody. I wonder if they greased the wheels at the MPAA to get more youngin's to watch. Anyway, that was the best hour and forty minutes I ever spent. Thanks, guys. #Pals

The guy you recognized at the beginning was Bradley Whitford. I think you might remember him from Cabin in the Woods. Thanks for another great reactionππ

Jon Bon Jovi was the long hair prisoner who climbed out of the cell in Lincoln and tried to shoot the sheriff, but then got shot. Just fyi.

I loved this movie as a kid, just as much as the first. Even though Billy the Kid wiped out my ancestors!

No, you're absolutely not crazy, TBR! The original one did share endings for Doc and Chavez and it did say Chavez went on to do other stuff that wasn't crime-y.
I also have to say I feel you both on being upset about Chavez and Doc not making it. They were easily my favorite characters of the entire cast in both movies, tbh. Also, Doc and Chavez's friendship is just my everything.

True story, great film

Edit: After watching
That was fun yall. There are documentaries and videos that put all evidence together that Brushy Bill Robert's was Billy the Kid. New photo age technology was also done and matches up perfectly with Billy and Brushy Bill, not to mention many of his friends confirmed he was Billy.
Brushy Bill Roberts also knew very specific details that nobody else would know, like where and how gun fights took place and how the rooms were etc at locations. Very specific stuff in his testimony or interviews. He also had battle scars where Billy should have had them. Also nobody confirmed ever seeing Billy dead or in a casket.
That whole 1.80 rifle shot and Billy shooting Bell from top of the steps and escaping all true. Billy really escaped that much as depicted in the film. A big reason New Mexico won't dig up Billy's so called grave for autopsy etc is bc of their tourist dollars. They do not want to lose that tourism if they have to recognize Brushy Bill as being Billy.
In Texas where Brushy died. It's also Billy the Kid land, people there claim that's where he is buried and died and has its own little tourism. There might be naysayers to this opinion, but I do believe that was Billy. I've watched so much evidence over the years to believe so. Greatest outlaw of the old west.
And lastly, Part 3 is currently under works by Emilio Estevez and the original writer.
Great reaction!
