The review
Young Guns gained mixed reviews from critics. The film was a hit at the box office, earning a wide-reaching total of $56 million against an $11 million budget. The film procreated a sequel in the form of 1990’s Young Guns II, which reunifies the cast and further discovers the life and times of Emilio Estevez’s Billy the Kid. Despite Young Guns II gaining even worse reviews than its precursor, both films have since gone on to bring in a cult following, with the first film in specific being signaled as an iconic 80s treasure.
Hollywood is still very much in the custom of exploiting nostalgia to recover franchises and inheritance sequels. However, even so, the news Young Guns 3 is now in progress still came an astonishment to many. Director first exposed the information through social media.
