1878 in New Mexico: John Tunstall picks up young gun men from the road to have them work on his ranch, but also to teach them reading and to civilize them. However he's a thorn in the side of the rich rancher Murphy, as he's a competitor in selling cattle. One day he's shot by Murphy's men. Judge Wilson can't do anything, since Sheriff Brady is one of Murphy's men. But attorney Alex persuades him to constitute Tunstall's young friends to Deputies and give them warrants of arrest for the murderers. Instead of arresting them, William Bonney just shoots them down. Soon the 5 guys become famous and William gets the name "Billie the Kid" - but they're also chased by dozens of Murphy's men and the army. The people however honor him as fighter for justice.

Saw this for $6.95 once but didn't buy at the time. Didn't see it back at this price for ages and refused to pay more than that for it. A few weeks ago saw it for $3.95 and snapped it up quick.
There's a few reasons why this DVD is so cheap. (A) The quality for a DVD is pretty poor (B) The movie isn't that rewatchable. I hadn't seen it for maybe 10 years and remembered it being way better than it was this time. The only reason I can see for this is due to the star factor. On the DVD they keep going on about how cool the cast is, and back in 1988 they were, problem is nowadays they aren't really still at that elite level.
Charlie Sheen- Is now a sleazy laughing stock
Emilio Estevez- Never did anything of note really after this, except "Young Guns 2"
Lou Diamond Phillips- Also no longer cool, except when he appeared in "24" last season
Kiefer Sutherland- Still cool, but he was wussy in this movie and shattered my Jack Bauer image that he's worked so hard on
If you don't know, the movie is the story of "Billy The Kid", a renegade who went on a killing spree in the old west to avenge the death of a man who took him in and looked after him. The movie has it's moments, and Estevez as "Billy" and Sutherland as "Doc are solid, but there's not much else on offer. Has aged badly, for memory though I think the sequel was much better, so I'll have to go back and see that.
