Two nights ago, they had "Young Guns II" on the teevee. James Coburn is great as John Chisum ("You just killed yourself! Bonney, you are a fool! You call yourself the scourge of New Mexico? Well, by God, I am New Mexico! And you are dead!") is awesome in this faceoff with Emilio Estevez as William Bonney, aka Billy the Kid.There was an excellent article in the New Mexico Historical Review a few years ago that identifies Billy the Kid as the second-most filmed character in world film history (Abraham Lincoln is first).
