Although Young Guns (Channel 11 Monday at 8 p.m.), director Christopher Cain and writer John Fusco’s 1988 take on Billy the Kid, pales beside Arthur Penn’s “The Left-Handed Gun” and Sam Peckinpah’s “Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid,” it has a slick, smokey vigor and Emilio Estevez is remarkable playing Billy as a baby-faced Nietszchean warrior.
In the 1985 Weird Science (Channel 5 Wednesday at 8 p.m.), a John Hughes illustrated teen-age daydream, Anthony Michael Hall and Ilan Mitchell-Smith conjure up a computer-built dream woman, played by Kelly Le Brock--to her credit--as if she were real.
Not exactly one of Blake Edwards’ finer efforts, the 1987 Blind Date (Channel 5 Friday at 8 p.m.) turns on the single and feeble premise that a beautiful woman (Kim Basinger) with no tolerance for alcohol goes on a blind date with a yuppie executive (Bruce Willis) who, warned about her problem, feeds her quantities of champagne, then watches in outraged dismay as she lurches out of control.
