TOMBSTONE Filming Mistakes

[@fklifter1]

Val Kilmer should of won an oscar for his performance.That's just how good he was

[@RhettyforHistory]

He was good. There were a lot of great actors and performances!

[@rogerross6583]

I thought when I first seem the movie. He did absolutely amazing with this part.

[@shawngreen3476]

Well, he lost to Al Pachino, and while I didn't see the movie he won an award for that year I would say they were equally talented actors (it was 1993 and Pachino won Best Actor for his role in Scent of a Woman) the name makes me think I'd hate it but Pachino is godly talented just like Val Kilmer in my opinion.

[@gracieg7601]

Oscars are voted for by the wrong people. It should be voted for by the people who just saw it.

[@gracieg7601]

I have noticed her riding straddle the horse. I don’t get that side saddle BS

[@guppybill]

I love this flick. I quote it almost daily. Check the theater scene. Wyatt and his wife are in the box talking before the show. You can see the actors standing in the background, waiting for their cue to enter the box. Also in the Curly shoots Fred scene, you can clearly see the squib (exploding blood gunshot effect) bulging under Fred's vest, and the squib trigger wire running up his pant leg! Adds to the charm.

Thanks for watching. This really is a great movie! I appreciate you pointing out some more for us to find.

I don't know if it's considered a blooper, but right after Virgel is shot in the arm, when Kurt Russell tries to pick Sam Elliott up, Kurt slams the back of Sams head on the underside of the bar. It looks like when Sam is twitching on the floor, he's not acting.

Tombstone is one of the finest westerns ever made. The cast were Stella but Kilmers Doc Holiday was terrific.

One of the all time Westerns made. Right up there with Stagecoach. I was so taken by Val Kilmers protrayal of Doc Holiday and Kurt Russells of Wyatt Eurp that they could have driven a greyhound thru the thing and I wouldnt have noticed lol. Everyone who starred in this movie was on thier A game.Have watched it dozens of times and will continue. One scene is my fav of all. When the Eurps and Doc are at the Ok Corral facing down the Cowboys, and when Doc winked at the Cowboy I just knew crap was fixing to happen. Thanks Rhetty since COVID left me house bound, Ive been lots of places with you and aint even been in your car!!

I noticed a couple mistakes not mentioned in your video...When Curly Bill starts shooting at the sky with his 2 revolvers, he shoots more shots than the revolvers can hold however, I can't remember how many. There is also a part in the movie where it shows the brothers walking together with Fred and someone says "law and order every time, that's us" but nobody's lips move. Another scene when Johnny looks at Doc and says "you retired to?" he starts to speak before Curly Bill finishes his line. In yet another scene in the bar, when Ike is getting thrown out a glass bottle rolls off the table and a cowboy catches it, and in the exact same scene Virgil goes to grab his pistol but hesitates until the scene plays out a little longer then he grabs it and knocks Ike out. Loved your video!

[@kellywilliamson2187]

They actually have specific staff on a movie crew whose only job is to make sure those mistakes don't happen. I think they're called "continuity techs" or something like that. It would be quite the task if you ask me. I remember in The Godfather, Michael gets punched in the mouth by the Chief of Police and for the rest of the film you can watch the bruise fade as the scenes are filmed and time goes by. Another good one is in the movie The Abyss, Ed Harris throws his wedding ring into the chemical toilet and then goes back to retrieve it and his left hand is stained blue for the rest of the film. That is some dedication and attention to detail for sure! Dang I love movies!

[@RhettyforHistory]

Yes, you are correct in that they are called continuity errors. In the old days of actually filming this would have been extremely difficult. Now with some of of the digital capabilities and cgi to cover things up it can really be minimized. I will have to rewatch the Godfather to see what you're talking about. I don't think I've noticed that. Sounds interesting and I bet there vcd are more.

After being so picky about blood on lips, I was sure you’d say something about how Wyatt’s blood covered hands didn’t leave any smears on Morgan’s forehead. It was a closeup shot with repetitive strokes, but that blood was permanently attached to Wyatt’s fingers!

[@RhettyforHistory]

You're right. That transfer did not happen. Not normal for fresh blood. Not only that the rain scene outside is another one where it doesn't sit right with the eye. You can see it pouring rain in one spot and not at all in another.

[@johnholgate4773]

RhettyforFun yes! In C-Pax, there was a great scene where blood was washed from Kevin Spacey’s hands. They should have done something dramatic with blood running down Kurt Russel’s arms instead of saving time with permanent make up.

It is all about attention and focus. The human eye is drawn first toward movement, second to bright lights, and third to bold colors. And we are also drawn, quite out of our control, to facial expressions. So 99% of people won't notice all the prop discontinuities and things like that in the periphery. It just goes to show you that even with a professional crew, and shooting out of sequence and from one day to the next, even the pros struggle too.

A couple of things I’ve noticed are at the beginning of the movie when they are riding from Tucson to Tombstone the sun is setting in the west but Tombstone is south and they are riding north. The other is when curly Bill is shooting up the town his two 6 shooters shoot a couple of dozen shots without reloading.

[@RhettyforHistory]

I didn't notice that sun scene. Good eye! I did notice all the shots being made with Curly Bill though. It's sort of hard to determine if the inside discussion is taking place at the same time when curly is outside shooting. It is a lot of shots and it does get your attention.

[@sierraslim]

RhettyforFun I’ve counted the shots many times and there is no time to reload. I shoot a single action peacemaker for cowboy action shooting and know how long it takes to reload. But still love the movie.

[@tonycat721]

when he holds morgans face with his hands covered in blood no smear went on to the face, quick drying blood maybe .....and when he was standing out side with the rain pouring down, the rest of the street was DRY, what a local rain cloud maybe...

[@illgazillion]

[@MrGCline]

One other thing that I have noticed is that when Wyatt walks out of the pool hall after his brother dies it's raining cats and dogs, but if you look down the street a few yards it is completely dry with no rain coming down.

[@michaelbrowne541]

Absolutely in my top five favorite movies.. I am one of those people that notices mistakes quite often.. but this movie is just so good.. another mistake I thought you would have gotten.. when Wyatt is outside after Morgan's death ..in the pouring rain with the bloody hands ..if you look in the background the rain is only in the area where the scene is being shot..🤔 the other night at around 11:30 I came across this movie maybe 20 minutes in ..and watched it right to the end again.. and one more thing while I'm typing this I'm wearing a t-shirt that says "I'm your huckleberry" on it 😂👍

Regarding Josephine riding side saddle.....yes it is very difficult. But not impossible. In Downton Abbey, Michelle Dockery learned to ride side saddle for the hunt and racing scenes and did her own riding.

[@RhettyforHistory]

Yes it's definitely not impossible. Certainly not easy but you sure won't see three legs. Thank you for watching Kathy!

[@arthurreyes2632]

There is a scene in the beginning at the train station where Virgil’s wife hands wyatts wife the laudanum. Cut to the next scene where they are walking and Virgils wife is looking in her purse for the laudanum. I thought I was the only one who noticed the inconsistencies.

[@RhettyforHistory]

That is a good one you noticed. I'll have to go back and see if I can catch that. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@southgeorgiaindianrider8981]

Just as you I love this movie also. There's one more mistake that I've noticed and its when Wyatt goes out into the stree after Morgan was shot, pay close attention to the pattern the rainfall makes on the ground

[@RhettyforHistory]

You're right about that mistake. I noticed that one as well. They have the rain going over one area but not the whole set. Clearly they wanted to rain but didn't have a system set up for it all to rain. Great job on noticing that!

[@southgeorgiaindianrider8981]

Just another tidbit of useless knowledge I reside in the very town where Docs parents are buried. They are in the same cemetery but, knowing the Holliday family history, they're not buried on the same plot. His childhood home still stands and the current owners actually reside in it.

[@RhettyforHistory]

That's cool. I didn't know it still stood. Supposedly he is a distant relation to my family but I haven't put in any research to verify that. Something about my great great grandmother being a cousin of his. I would like to see that house though

[@tylerhanisch]

Alot of these i didnt notice but you forgot to mention the time when the brothers meet up with doc holiday for the first time and wyatt and doc have what looks like a staring contest and both start chuckling

[@curtisradloff1116]

There's one that you missed. In the saloon scene when Doc and Ringo are insulting each other in Latin, watch Wyatt with the shotgun under the table. In one scene his right arm is grabbing the gun under the table and pointing it at Ringo and Curly Bill. Than as the camera zooms out, his right arm is on top of the table. Than it shifts back again as he cocks the shotgun when Ringo points his gun at Doc.

[@RhettyforHistory]

That is a good one that you caught there. Thank you for watching and sharing that one.

[@markwheeler8041]

these are editing errors known as continuity errors.

[@RhettyforHistory]

That is correct

[@AViewFromTheMiddle]

I always thought that was a triple barrel shotgun too. Lol. Never noticed it was actually the same shot from two different angles.

[@RhettyforHistory]

It's amazing how much movie magic there is and we all skip. But when something immediately catches your eye like that did I always have to slow it down and analyze it.

[@imarose9091]

The big one I spotted was the scene of Wyatt standing in the "rain" but it's not raining behind him and the street is noticeably dry.

[@RandyLittleStudios]

So there are a fair number of continuity issues but. there are very good reasons why all the lighting and issues and crane. Mostly if you tried to shoot a scene so that the 6-who knows camera set ups where all in the same lighting conditions it would be a logistical nightmare. First you do all your shots and lighting from one direction. Then you switch and do all the shots from the oposit direction. IF they are being shot in the same place even. So you can and usually will have some lighting change issues. Not as noticeable anymore since we fix it all in post.

[@2170tlford]

Sorry a little late to the conversation. Did you notice the scene where it shows the “Town Marshall” building? It should be spelled “Town Marshal” as a title.

Thanks Juan! I think I've probably seen this movie too many times. Either way those never take away from the movie because it really is so good! Thanks for watching!

[@loki_104]

I noted one inconsistency....not editing wise. When the Earp brothers meet the town marshal, he says that the cowboys are it. Nothing gets done without the cowboys consent. Yet, seconds later, Wyatt walks into the Oriental and takes over the place without consulting with the cowboys. How come they didn't ask for their share on that one?

[@RhettyforHistory]

Good question! I'm sure there are a lot of those that I have missed as well. That was a great catch!

Right before the cowboys arrive in town for the fight at ok corral. Look at what the cowboys are wearing. They have on the wrong clothes. They show extras in rain jackets. One in bright yellow.

[@johnpclum]

As history buff here is some falsehoods of this movie. I worked in Tombstone as Virgal and Wyatt and did some research. Fred White was a young man, not the old one they show in the movie. Then, when the actual gunfight happened, Ike did not stuff his head in a water barrel, then after he ran at Wyatt he ran and hid never having fired a shot during it. Then, rumor has it, and you will most like get multiple different answers as to who shot Morgan and where was he shot. According to many historians Morgan could not have suffered the shot he did due to the cowboys were on the ground and Morgan suffered a wound that went for one shoulder to the other on his back area. In looking at that, the most logical shooter was actually Wyatt, when Ike swung him around he accidently shot Morgan. That would explain why the wound was so high. I got a lot of this information for 2 historians in Tombstone, one who has written books about the gunfight, what lead up to it and the aftermath.

I didn't realize Josephine Marcus had a "fake leg" when she was riding "side saddle" with Wyatt! No wonder Wyatt stayed with Josephine all his life,with three legs,she had a leg up on the competition and Wyatt must have been a "leg man!

[@TrainTracker911]

If I'm not mistaken a lot of the mistakes in this film happened because it was shot in a very short period of time. The pressure to release it overshadowed the care to do it right.

[@RhettyforHistory]

You could be right on that. In addition, we have now found that Kurt Russell was the direct and that could have played a part of it as well. I would bet every older movie filmed with actual film and not digital has these sort of errors.

[@dks13827]

You do great videos. Thank you.

[@larrysmith1568]

Good movie. From what I have read, Doc was quick but couldn't hit a barn with a pistol. He couldn't take Ike out in Flys' even though he was throwing a lot of lead at him.

[@RhettyforHistory]

I have read the same thing about Doc. It's difficult to separate the fact from myth on him and the others in Tombstone. The movie is awesome though!

[@crewmax4240]

I always had a problem with the wound on Johnny Ringo's head. Was that supposed to be an exit wound? Wouldn't it be bigger? Also, while still standing, Ringo has blood on his knuckles which appears to be missing as he is lying dow n. Great movie, though.

The thing about this movie that showed artistry and professionalism in lights, makeup, costume and directing was how picture perfect the worked they made Dana Delaney!! She's always been pretty on film, but everyone that worked on this movie, thrust her into the most beautiful woman in the UNIVERSE. She was stunning in every single shot

[@ericmalone3213]

These kind of continuity inconsistencies & other "errors" are typical of many great films. John Ford, Orson Welles, John Cassavetes, Martin Scorsese, et al, in their best work, have continuity inconsistencies & "errors" that the general audience doesn't notice because they're caught up in the overall context of the film. Look at the camera dolly-in and go out of focus, then back into focus, for John Wayne's entrance in STAGECOACH. Why did Ford use that shot? It was an "error", but it worked. There are many other "errors" & rules of screen direction broken in STAGECOACH that I could point to. Look at the big camera bump during the dramatic bedroom scene between Bob de Niro & Sharon Stone, where de Niro gently confronts Stone about her over-use of pain pills in CASINO. Big camera bump in the middle of the scene. But that was the shot that worked best for the context of the actors, so Scorsese used it. Some viewers thought it was intentional, & proposed certain theories about the meaning & effectiveness of the bump (!). Ford, Welles, Huston, & other great directors will tell you that a great director is one who presides over happy accidents. They don't want technical perfection for the sake of itself, that isn't why they became film makers. CHEERS

[@RhettyforHistory]

You're right. These old films didn't catch them as much and they could not fix them with just cgi. Thanks for pointing out some in other films. I think they are interesting to find and generally don't ruin the context of the film. I appreciate you watching.

[@ericmalone3213]

@@RhettyforHistory If you look at the chase scene in Ford's STAGECOACH, all the rules of screen direction are broken. Ford had no concern for "fixing" this, he was happy to break all of those rules. There are some major continuity problems in Scorsese's CAPE FEAR in the bar scene where de Niro is seducing Illeana Douglas. Scorsese used CGI for the fireworks effects in that film, but he had no concern about using it to "fix" the continuity "errors" in the bar scene, which pretty much no one notices, because they're caught up in the overall context of the film. Prior to STAGECOACH, John Ford had made over 100 films. He wasn't worried about technical perfection or rules of screen direction. CHEERS!

Filming on a outdoor set, it’s hard to get the timing right with sun light and so on. Also reshoots of scenes, you try to get every detail back, somethings are forgotten. Either way, amazing pic.
