1988's Young Guns is one of the best westerns of the last 35 years. Sure, there's also Tombstone, Unforgiven and The Quick and the Dead, but Young Guns is just so much fun. Indeed, Christopher Cain’s highly amusing and energetic tale of Billy the Kid and his participation with The Regulators in the Lincoln County War remains such a potent pop-cultural benchmark that, almost four decades later, an official sequel entitled Guns 3: Alias Billy the Kid (too old for it to called Young Guns 3?) is currently in pre-production. Original Young Guns writer John Fusco is back on board the upcoming sequel, with Emilio Estevez taking over the directorial saddle. As we look forward to the riotous return of Billy the Kid and Jose Chavez y Chavez, it’s time to recollect and celebrate the 35th anniversary of Young Guns by breaking down what inspired the movie, how it was developed, what went into the production, how historically accurate the story remains, and perhaps most enlightening, the treasure trove of on-set anecdotes and mischievous tomfoolery that the youthful cast thoroughly enjoyed while making the movie in the winter of 1988. Gear up, kick back, crack a brew, and stuff some chew…it’s time to find out WTF Happened to Young Guns once and for all!
