Young Guns 3: Alias Billy the Kid

I loved the old films as well. Like you, I don't see how they can make the new version plausible being that it is 32 years later and most characters already died.

Even if they do somehow make the new film coherent, I dread how they will "modernize" the story.

Billy the Kid was an outlaw who killed 8 men before he himself was shot dead at age 21. I hope they don't turn him into some social justice crusader or an old west tranny.

Didn't they write at the end credits that Arkansas Dave was killed in Mexico?

Billy the Kid died when he was 21 years old.

So is Emilio playing his Gran Pappy?

Yes and the real-life Arkansas Dave really was shot and decapitated in Mexico just like the movie said in 1886

Doc Scurlock moved to TX and lived to be 80 years old

Chavez died at 72 in Vegas

And of course, Billy was allegedly killed by Pat Garrett in 1881

With all of that, are they going to suggest that the story Brushy Bill Roberts told in 2 was not accurate and all of them lived and did things later on in life despite history saying otherwise? There is no disputing Dave died 5 years after YG2, so unless you ignore historical facts, he would have to be out of the story if they are going for the Billy really didn't die and he, Doc, and Chavez remained friends and outlaws late in life now that all the actors are older.

Also, from all accounts, Brushy Bill Roberts and Doc led quiet lives so them being old outlaws would yet again ignore history.

Chavez was sentenced to life in prison and spent 11 years in jail. He was pardoned at 57 and lived peacefully until his death at 72 so again that would mess up a story about them being old friends riding together again.

Any of you looking forward to this?

I wouldn't say I'm looking forward to this, but I will say


REGULATORS..........Mount Up!

Chavez only lived a quiet life after he was pardoned for murder. He was a member of several outlaw gangs well after Billy was killed. and he was an outlaw before joining the regluators.

Anyone that liked Young Guns 1/2 and like westerns, needs to watch "Old Henry"...

very well done western, and quite topical for this discussion of young guns 3.
