Line 1: {{work\|wppage=Young Guns (film)}} '''''Young Guns''''' is a 1988 [[~~Action/Western\|~~Western]] film. It stars Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Charlie Sheen, Dermot Mulroney, and Casey Siemaszko. It also features Terence Stamp, Terry O'Quinn, Brian Keith, and Jack Palance. Young Guns is a retelling of the adventures of Billy the Kid (Estevez) during the Lincoln County War, which took place in New Mexico during 1877-1878. John Tunstall, an educated Englishman and cattle rancher in Lincoln County, New Mexico, hires wayward young gun men to live and work on his ranch. Tunstall's ranch is in heavy competition with another well-connected rancher named Murphy and their men clash on a regular basis. Tunstall recruits Billy and tensions escalate into the murder of Tunstall. Billy (Estevez), Doc (Sutherland), Chavez (Phillips), Dick (Sheen), Dirty Steve (Mulroney), and Charlie (Siemaszko), consult their lawyer friend Alex who manages to get them deputized and given warrants for the arrest of Murphy's murderous henchmen. Line 7: A sequel followed, memorable mostly for the [[Bon Jovi]] song on its soundtrack. ~~----~~ ~~== Contains the following tropes ==~~ {{tropelist}} * [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Chavez. * [[Anyone Can Die]] * [[Ascended Fanboy]]: Tom in the sequel. * [[Asian Gal ~~With~~with White Guy]]: Doc and Yen Sun, {{spoiler\|who he later marries.}} * [[Badass Crew]]: The Regulators. * [[Badass Longcoat]] * [[Band of Brothers]]: Though the group itself uses the term "pals" to mean the same thing. {{quote\| '''William Bonney:''' "If you got three or four good pals, why, then you got yourself a tribe. Ain't nothin' stronger than that."}} * [[Bounty Hunter]]: An exceptionally [[Badass]] and old one named [[Meaningful Name\|Buckshot Roberts]] who takes on Billy the Kid's entire gang by himself. Killed more people then small pox. {{quote\| '''Dick Brewer:''' We've got a warrant for you, old man.~~<br />~~ '''Buckshot Roberts:''' I ain't got no business with that war no more, peckerhead son of a bitch. I'm on my own. I've come to pick up the 150 dollars Sheriff Brady has put out for the Kid. The rest of you are only worth about 110, but I'll take it.~~<br />~~ '''Doc''': What a sweet disposition.~~<br />~~ '''Buckshot Roberts:''' All right, let's dance. starts shooting }} * [[Catch Phrase]]: "Yoohoo! I'll make you famous..." Line 34 ⟶ 32: * [[Infant Immortality]]: Subverted. The first person in Billy's gang to die in the second film is {{spoiler\|Tom.}} * [[Intoxication Ensues]]: "Did you see the size of that chicken?" * [[It Works Better ~~With~~with Bullets]]: Billy the Kid does this to a bounty hunter in the first. Pretending to be awestruck by the bounty hunter's boasts, he asks if he can touch the gun with which the hunter plans to kill Billy the Kid. The bounty hunter hands it to him, and Billy secretly unloads it before handing it back. Billy then reveals his true identity. The bounty hunter tries firing several times with the empty gun before Billy shoots him down. * [[Jerkass]]: Dave. * [[Kill'Em All]]: {{spoiler\|By the end of the second film, the only survivors are Dave (who gets beheaded when he reaches Mexico), Hendry, and Billy (allegedly).}} Line 41 ⟶ 39: * [[Noble Savage]]: Chavez, who's referred to as "the Indian" a few times, is portrayed as "the wise one" of the bunch and acts as a de facto shaman during the peyote sequence, bordering on [[Magical Native American]]. * [[Too Dumb to Live]]: A sheriff in the second film tries to shoot Billy, even though Billy already has a gun on him and warns him several times not to. Guess what happens. {{quote\| '''Billy''': "That was stupid, Bill."}} * [[Young Gun]] {{reflist}} [[Category:Index of Film Westerns]]▼ [[Category:Films of the 1980s]] [[Category:Young Guns]] ▲[[Category:~~Index of~~ Film Westerns]] [[Category:Pages with working Wikipedia tabs]] [[Category:Film]]
