Only three of the original five "young guns" --
Billy the Kid (
Emilio Estevez), Jose Chavez y Chavez (
Lou Diamond Phillips), and Doc Scurlock (
Kiefer Sutherland) -- return in
Young Guns, Part 2, which is the story of
Billy the Kid and his race to safety in Old Mexico while being trailed by a group of government agents led by Pat Garrett (
William Petersen). Along the way, Billy's crew gains three new recruits: Arkansas Dave Rudabaugh (
Christian Slater), Tom O'Folliard (
Balthazar Getty), and Hendry French (
Alan Ruck). Though the film suffers from an uneven script, many performances -- particularly
Slater's -- are surprisingly strong, and the movie looks great. The theme song,
"Blaze of Glory", is performed by
Jon Bon Jovi in his first solo appearance; the rocker also has a cameo in the film.
