Outside the gang William Petersen does a solid job as Pat Garrett. These characters are an interesting mix and nicely compliment to old characters. The characters are a good mix as well as Billy, Chavez and Doc there are new gang members "Arkansas" Dave, played by Christian Slater Hendry William French, played by Alan Ruck and young Tom O'Folliard, played by Balthazar Getty. The action includes shootouts, a knife fights and some impressive horse riding. ![]() The story is a lot of fun as it delivers action and a degree of humour. I really enjoyed this sequel, possibly more than I enjoyed the original. Times are changing in New Mexico and Billy has less places to hide so he suggests heading south to 'Old' Mexico. Soon Billy has his old friend Pat Garrett hunting him down. Billy soon escapes then breaks his friends out of captivity. The governor offers Billy a pardon in exchange for testimony but this deal is reneged on and other surviving members of his old gang, Jose Chavez y Chavez and Josiah Gordon "Doc" Scurlock, are arrested. As his story opens Billy is now riding with Pat Garrett and "Arkansas" Dave Rudabaugh. ![]() He claims that he is Billy the Kid and he has a tale to tell. This sequel, set a little while after the events of the first film, opens much later, in the 1950s, with a young lawyer meeting an old man in the New Mexico desert. ![]() Reviewed by Tweekums 9 / 10 Going Out in a Blaze of Glory
