Tombstone (1993) Contains *AWARD-WORTHY* Performances MOVIE REACTION!!! FIRST TIME WATCHING!!!

[@donaldseale2700]

One bit of information that most fans of this movie already know but is easily missed by first time viewers is that Ringo was afraid of Doc since the cup twirl. Not only was Doc mocking him with the cup, but every move that Ringo done with the gun, Doc matched it move for move with the cup. Ringo having the trained eye of a gunslinger noticed that.

[@jessecortez9449]

More so that Ringo became aware that he was in the presence of a real gunslinger. The twirling of guns was something that cattel drivers did out of boredom on while moving cattle across plains for weeks on end. It was basically a fidget spinner to them. Doc was a real gunslinger that didn't toy with his guns and only used them to kill. Even in his worse, physical condition he was in an entirely different league than Ringo.

[@PapaEli-pz8ff]

@@jessecortez9449 Doc also had nothing to lose.. the Grim Reaper was very close at hand

[@gordonhaire9206]

The incident was pure fiction. Everyone was afraid of Doc. He was a cold-blooded killer.

[@trenchraider2046]

What's more, he did it PERFECTLY after watching him once. No practice to mimic the routine, just right there on the spot. And all while keeping locked eye contact and a stoic expression, no sign of effort or difficulty.

[@donaldseale2700]

@JustoOBrien-vh6tu What happened in real life is irrelevant. It's not even known for sure how Ringo really died. Officially, his death was ruled a suicide. I'm just talking about the movie.

[@butkusfan23]

Easily of the most incredible films of any genre. It’s so cinematic and beautifully shot, written, and acted. When you get a little older and friends drift away and family starts dying, that scene after Wyatt “walks on water” and Doc is asked why he’s there because he should be in bed, and Doc says “Wyatt Earp is my friend.” And the other guy says “hell, I got lots of friends.” And Doc solemnly replies, “I don’t.” That shit hits home pretty hard. Great stuff.

[@alonzocoyethea6148]

Out of the 50 or so Hollywood productions, most accurate potrayal of of Earp and Holliday ever..The friendship between them started after a Ft. Sumner card game that wound up with Doc shooting the loser in self defense, but the locals wanted to hang him anyway. Earp stepped in and stopped it, which is why Doc was so loyal to him. Final note: When he died in 1929, Wyatt was a set advisor on early western movies and PT boxing writer for the LA times. He was an early practitioner and any thug who challenged him to "Put down his gun and fight" would be painfully obliged, then still taken to jail...That's how tough of a lawman he was.

So many KZbin movie reactors get confused about this. Of course, I'm an old guy that grew up watching westerns on TV during the 1960s. 🙂 I remember watching reruns of "The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp" (originally aired on ABC from 1955 to 1961) with Hugh O'Brian in the title role.

Both interesting historical figures. Did y’all recognize Billy Bob Thornton as Johnny? The scene with Wyatt in the creek shooting at Curly Bill actually happened.

[@johnrogan9729]

Yep totally true. I think Wyatt only took a bullet to the coat, not to his body. Maybe to his boot heel. Either way, he did do what they portrayed in the movie. Imagine that. Amazing.

[@lauriesandt5371]

Why Johnny.....I didn't know you were there.😅

[@GhostDrummer]

TL;DR: watched this movie with some friends when it came out. It was so good, we watched it two more times in a row instead of meeting with some ladies for dinner after the first showing like we were supposed to I was in college when this came out. Some guys and I were supposed to see the movie on a Friday night and then meet up with some ladies afterwards for dinner because they didn’t want to watch it. We ended up watching it three times in a row and blew off the ladies. As this was the early 90’s, we didn’t really have a means to let them know we weren’t coming. When we all showed up on day morning to class, they were pissed off at us…rightly so, as we didn’t call them on Saturday to explain ourselves. The professor knew something was off with the atmosphere in the room, so he asked what was going on. The ladies told him we never showed up to dinner on Friday night. We explained why. He told everyone to get over it for the time being and he would watch the movie that night to see if we were justified in watching it three times in a row and not meeting up later. Wednesday morning he came into class, sat down, and to the class we were absolutely correct to watch it three times in a row…as he watched it twice in a row himself. The ladies were mad, so the professor told us guys that we owed the ladies a nice dinner and a movie of their choosing at the very least. If we didn’t take care of that by the following Monday morning, we would be docked 5 points each on our final. Monday morning the ladies told him they decided to watch the movie with us after dinner to see what the rave was all about. When the professor asked if they understood, they all said yes…and while it was more violent than they would have normally watched, they could see why it was so appealing to men. Of course, the male actors were also a huge part of the reason the ladies liked the movie. Anytime Kurt, Val, Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton, Michael Biehn, Jason Priestley, and/or Billy Zane were on screen, the ladies would giggle. They hated Steven Lang (Ike Clanton) though…with a passion.

Glad that you guys watched this great movie. Interesting fact. I live in Arizona. We are both an open and concealed carry state. There is still one place you still cannot carry a gun in Arizona. Tombstone

[@dunringill1747]

Yes, "Tombstone" is a historical biography of Wyatt Earp - but with some creative liberties. Most of the major characters were real people as well as some of the events. Wyatt Earp's romantic life was condensed for movie drama but was also a part of his life. I've read that the cross fire gun fight at the creek was accurate as per eye witnesses. Wyatt did charge into the creek to finish off Curly Bill first, then a few others to turn the tide of the gunfight in his favor. One of my favorite scenes was at the gambling saloon where Johnny Ringo squared off with Doc Holiday with his gun tricks. Doc Holiday countered every move with his tin cup. What makes this scene important is both men were highly skilled pistoleers. Both men knew exactly what to look for in their opponent. Both men walked away from that encounter knowing that Doc Holiday was the better of the two.

[@djlp2212]

If you look at Ringo's eyes when Doc repeated his routine, you can tell that he is showing fear because he knows that Doc was faster than him. Wyatt had hundreds of bullets shot at him and was never hit by one. Everything happened as in the film except Virgil and Morgan were shot months apart, not the same night. No one really knows how Ringo died, maybe suicide, the Doc scenario was one of them but he was in Colorado at the time Ringo's body was found. Wyatt really killed Curly Bill the way depicted in the movie.

[@SirRosser]

You know what? I just typed in "reaction" to the search bar. Lucky for me, you guys just happened to hit on one of my favorite movies.

[@gallendugall8913]

The shootout at the OK Corral used to be incredibly famous, but it has (since I was born) receded into obscurity. While there have been many movies made on the subject, and it has been depicted in many television shows (even Star Trek TOS did an OK corral episode), the historical reality has never been truly known. There is a good documentary as to why we'll never know what really happened there. In short; it was all tangled up with intensely partisan politics.

[@gallendugall8913]

I will add that the historical facts we know about Wyatt Earp are fricking insane. He would never dodge or take cover in the numerous fire fights he was in. He just walked towards his enemies shooting as bits of his clothing were shot off. It was as if a higher power were protecting him. Also he was engaged in at least as much illegal activities as the Cowboys.

[@MyNLR]

True story! Val should have won every award for this. My absolute favorite western ever.

[@billparrish4385]

In an 1896 article, Wyatt Earp said of his friend Doc Holliday: "I found him a loyal friend and good company. He was a dentist whom necessity had made a gambler; a gentleman whom disease had made a vagabond; a philosopher whom life had made a caustic wit; a long, lean blonde fellow nearly dead with consumption and at the same time the most skillful gambler and nerviest, speediest, deadliest man with a six-gun I ever knew." In a newspaper interview, Holliday was once asked if his conscience ever troubled him. He is reported to have said, "I coughed that up with my lungs, years ago."

[@RyneMurray23]

When Doc tells the guy "I have two guns, one for each of you" , he flips one gun forward and one backwards, which is very difficult to do at the same time.

[@TheGelasiaBlythe]

Fun fact: The guy who gets pistol whipped by Wyatt and falls off the sidewalk at the town jail is Wyatt Earp III ("I ain't easy, and I sure as Hell ain't your son."). He was a consultant during filming.

[@brandonflorida1092]

Wyatt Earp was an American lawman, famous for his role in the shootout at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona in the late 1800s. Born in Illinois, he grew up in Iowa and later made a living as a buffalo hunter and a gambler. He went to Tombstone in 1879, where he gained notoriety as a lawman. He married twice, and both of his wives were prostitutes. In the late 1800s, Earp and his brothers Virgil and Morgan, along with Doc Holliday, confronted the cowboy gang known as the Cowboys in a shootout that lasted 30 seconds and resulted in the deaths of three cowboys and wounds to Virgil and himself. Following the shootout, the Earps left Tombstone, and Wyatt was appointed as a deputy sheriff in northern Arizona. He moved to Alaska during the gold rush and then to California, where he worked as a dealer at various casinos. He died in Los Angeles in 1929.

[@teenasmith9619]

As soon as Doc watched Ringo’s gun twirl, Ringo’s days were numbered. Doc knew how fast he was, which hand was dominant, etc. That’s why Ringo was scared of Doc. He recognized that Doc had matched his every move.

[@Guandilicious]

The actor who plays Ike is Stephen Lang, who was in "Don't Breathe" "Avatar" and "Gridlocked". According to what I read about the making of the movie, he couldn't figure out how to act drunk...so he spent the entire shoot drinking his ass off and performing drunk.

[@ramontieso1208]

At the end, when dark look down at his feet, and said, this is funny and chuckled. The story is that he actually did that. When he contracted tuberculosis, he could no longer practice as a dentist. He started gun fighting and putting himself in dangerous situations, his plan was to die with his boots on. That was what you called it when you would die in action, rather than lying in bed, he ended up laying in bed with his feet bare. That’s why he looked at his feet and chuckled right before he died.

[@rogers.5153]

Such a great movie and yes, it's based on truth. Depicted was the Gunfight at the OK Corral that took place in 1881. Great performances throughout, Val Kilmer's gets the most accolades. Michael Biehn's (The Terminator, The Abyss) performance as Johnny Ringo was just as good.

[@jeanine6328]

While the scene at the river where Curly Bill fired all of those shots and missed Wyatt might seem like something just for Hollywood, a lot of the historical accounts of their fight claim that Curly Bill fired 3 to 4 shots at Wyatt and missed every one of them, only hitting Wyatt’s coat tail and the barrel of Wyatt’s shotgun as he pulled it out of the holster on his horse…all of those misses before Wyatt blew Curly Bill away. Legend!!

[@jollyrodgers7272]

"The Cowboys" was the name of that gang - not representative of all cowboys or 'caballeros', similarly as The Dallas Cowboys do not actually herd cattle. The real Doc Holliday died in Colorado six years after the gunfight at the OK Corral - and the depiction here was a bit much, but as close to historical record, witnesses and trial proceedings (approximately 30 shots in 30 seconds) as was ever made by Hollywood of that famous gunfight. The real Wyatt Earp went to Nome with wife Josephine during the Alaska Gold Rush, was a bounty hunter for the L.A.P.D., and was a technical consultant for some early Hollywood Westerns. Tom Mix became a close friend, and indeed, it was widely reported he cried at Wyatt's funeral in 1929. That narrator was the late, great Robert Mitchum, who starred in many Westerns(and other genres) from the forties thru the eighties.

Doc Holliday: "In vino veritas." ("In wine truth.") Johnny Ringo: "Age quod agis." ("Do what you are doing", or "Attend to the work you have at hand.") Doc Holliday: "Credat Judaeus Sotella(?) non ego." (Could be a mispronounciation of "Credat Judaes Apella" which means "Let Apella the Jew believe it," or "Only the credulous believe it." "Non ego." means "Not I.") Johnny Ringo: "Eventis sultorum magister." ("Experience is the teacher of fools.") Doc Holliday: "Pace requiescata." ("Rest in peace", I think, however "pace" means "by leave of" and "requiescata" probably has something to do with death.)

These were a gang of outlaws who themselves The Cowboys, like The Hell's Angles. Actual cowboys were cattlemen and ranchers. They raised cattle and herded them across the country.

Are you getting the distinction?

[@amberhoward7807]

A good amount of details were changed, but yes this is based on a true story and true events... Did you guys not learn about Wyatt and Doc and the OK Corral in history? Wyatt and Doc didn't actually stay friends after everything. Wyatt was tried for the OK Corral incident, but was saved by the fact that he let one of the Cowboys step aside as he had no gun as it shows in the movie of Ike able to move out of the way. Also they don't actually know how Ringo died, but he did die by a tree... And I think the character of Ike was later killed from trying to rob a bank or train or something...

The characters are historical characters. There was a famous gunfight at the OK corral. Wyatt did go on a vengance ride. The rest is pure fiction. The cowboys were not cold blooded killers, the Earps and Holliday were.

[@The_Fezgig]

Yes this a true story, I have lived all my life in Arizona just a few hours away from the town of Tombstone. I grew up on the stories of Wyatt, Doc and the old west in general. While this film is an amazing telling of the story of what went down, it is not completely accurate but also gets a lot right as well. There is some debate about how the gunfight at the OK Corral went down, Some say the Earps started the fight that lead to shootout others say it was the Cowboys. After the shooting the town was very divided on who was at fault. Infact Earp and Doc were arrested for murder after the gunfight, the two were found not guilty. Doc and Earp actually ended up having a falling out over a drunken racial insult about the actress Wyatt ended up marrying. Doc died alone in a hospital.
