Billy The Kid joins a group of cowboys and turns them into
outlaws.
A cross between an 80's Brat Pack comedy and an old style
Western, which appeals more to fanbase of the former. Good fun, but not great, and it really hasn't dated particularly well.
A sequel followed two years later, with a better
soundtrack than it did a story.
