The film leaves it a mystery and simply states that on November 29, , Brushy Bill Roberts was discredited as Billy the Kid. The real discredit, though, is what the film does to the Western genre. In the golden-age of movies, Westerns were not excessively violent, as this one is. Violent incidents may have been essential to the plot, but they were ritualized, because violence was not the point.
Golden-age Westerns, which were often compassionate and lyrical, usually carried a high moral tone, emphasizing the heroic as well as law and order. Furthermore, there are jokes about killing people, fornication with prostitutes, full rear female nudity, obscenity, profanity, superstitious Indian beliefs, and the excessive use of alcohol.
Lots of gunfights. Most don't show blood or gore, but there are a few close shots of shooting point blank. One shows lots of spatter, and blood spatter stays on a character's face for an extended time afterward. A few scenes show someone being shot through multiple times and falling, usually with little blood or gore, but one in slow motion shows some blood spray. Some bullet wounds and bleeding from cuts are shown. A few fist fights with punching, a slap in the face, horses fall in gunfights.
A gunshot wound through the head is shown with some blood dripping. One character throws knives and pulls one from someone's back and wipes the blade on the victim's clothing. He also stabs someone in the throat. A past massacre is described. Some sexual innuendo bantering with a prostitute with exaggerated cleavage showing. A prostitute's bare breast is visible. Male nudity from behind shows only bare buttocks. Male buttocks visible when thorns are being pulled from them. A man urinates in the background; the urine stream is clearly shown but no sensitive parts are visible.
A man mentions "pulling our tallywhackers. Main and background characters frequently drink from bottles, jugs, and shot glasses.
Several scenes take place in saloons. The gang takes peyote as part of a vision quest, and an extensive scene shows their reactions with distorted speech, erratic behavior, vacant stares, paranoia, and vomiting. Main characters occasionally smoke cigarillos and cigars, villains and background characters do so more often.
Two gang members chew tobacco, spit frequently, and one stuffs his mouth too full in one scene. Parents need to know that Young Guns is a Western with a lot of gun violence, mostly without blood and gore, but a few scenes do show blood spatter and dripping from injuries. It tells a part of Billy the Kid's life with many events that really happened.
The gang of outlaws are charismatic and likeable, and so taking the law into your own hands, seeking vengeance, and even cold-blooded murder are sometimes glorified. Strong language is frequent: "son of a bitch," "s--t" and variations, and "ass" and variations most often.
One character frequently uses racial slurs against another. No strong or well-developed female characters. Lots of drinking, mostly whisky, and an extended scene shows the gang taking peyote and "tripping. Male buttocks are shown from behind, and a woman's bare breast is briefly shown once.

Army are after them. Where can they go from here? The charismatic cast of infamous '80s "brat pack" members may be the biggest draw, but Western fans, especially history buffs interested in the legend of Billy the Kid, will find a lot to enjoy, too. The acting's good, not great, but the star power of the Young Guns is on full display, making likeable characters teens will relate to and enjoy rooting for. Action packed and guns a-blazing, it's an OK choice as a popcorn movie for mature teens who can put the violence, drinking, and salty talk in historical context.
Families can talk about the violence in Young Guns. Is it OK if it's historically accurate? Does it seem realistic? How much is too much? Incredible movie. Lots of jokes, great soundtrack, appealing story.
I'm still listening to the music from this film after watching it because it brings so many positive emotions an memories. If you are a true fan of Western culture, then there is no way I will let you skip this title.
It is Incredible movie. It is also one of the best movies about Billy the Kid I have ever seen. TheGuyAarons96 Nov 21, For the most part I love this movie.
I'd say for the best part of this movie as Billy the kid and the worst part of the movie is Charlie Sheen as Dick Brewer. The does take a little bit to get going but when it does its awesome.

The movie makes sense as they first start out as a bunch of mostly innocent boys taking revenge on their mentor's death, and ultimately turning into a criminal rampage rife with killing.
The movie is good over all, with the only exception being Estevez's pretty lame drawl. DuckNation May 25, A good western with some great actor. The Story follows William H.
