The best Western I've ever seen. Its got the mud, the dirt, the slurs, the drunkenness, the realism to the point where I feel like I am watching a historical documentary. A young trouble maker kills a man in a fight and is taken in by an elderly rancher and his gang of cattle hands. After a long standing fued turns deadly they find themselves hunted by a posse.

From the filmmaking, to the casting, and even the soundtrack, this feels like an authentic 80's film rather than a true western. 'Young Guns' is more of a showcase for the then young stars to strut their stuff and provide ample action. Though, that's not necessarily bad. It's still plenty enjoyable for those reasons. I just wish it had a little more to offer.

Yet another interchangeable and lame brat pack movie in which they swap high school for the old west. Cliched and trite, it's a bit like watching an extended 80s music video. Dumb.

Yet another corny byproduct of the 80's that is actually a ton of fun to watch. Yes, the use of modern music in a Western is weird. Yes, some of the lines and acting are laughably bad. But, in trying to make a buddy action comedy that just so happens to be set in the Old West, the filmmakers mostly succeed.

Young Guns is one of the best bad movies that Hollywood has ever produced.

Another good 80s flick. Although the story line is predictable, who doesn't like to see a group of young, tough guys kicking butt and administering justice?

A western in the loosest sense, Young Guns is about flash and action at the expense of plot and story. There are some good performances from a lot of rising stars, I just wish they had more to showcase.

Classic. I think western (at least for my generation...kind of), I think of Young Guns. Great cast of some rising stars. Great story for its time. Group of young outcasts are taken in by a kind man to help reform them and make them decent citizens. Like an old west version of juvie. Bad guys kill these boys "father figure" and they all get deputized and seek justice and vengeance against those who have wronged them. I think anyone could really enjoy this movie. Again, a classic in it's own right.
