The Legend of Billy the Kid

This was the first and only documentary I have seen of Billy The Kid so I have no others to compare it to, but as a true Billy fan, I was pleased with what I got. Not only does this film explain the "true" facts about this outlaw legend it also gives a history of movies which were made about The Kid, and even used clips from some of the movies to help explain the wild life of Billy The Kid.

I got into Billy The Kid after watching the "Young Gun" movies and watching this documentary helped me to understand the troubled life of the Kid who no one seemed to understand. If I hadn't watched this documentary I wouldn't know as much about The Kid as I do now. It explains events in Billy's life clearly and sympathetically. The makers used plenty of aids to explain things, such as movie clips, pictures and even an interview with Emilio Estevez on the set of "Young Guns 2". I can only say one thing, if you like Billy The Kid or any of the Kid movies, see this documentary, you will not be disappointed.
