Ironically, based on the information we have of the real Doc from the historical records, he actually was playing a caricature of Doc. Still one of my favorite performances in any film. The performance by Dennis Quaid a year later in Wyatt Earp is considered to be the most accurate portrayal of the actual Doc Holliday. Also one of my favorite performances.

[@judsongaiden9878]

There's a scene - the one where Doc says "...one fer each of ya..." - where Val twirls two revolvers in opposite directions. I think he twirls the left one forward and the right one backward. That sure looks pretty close to ambidexterity to me!

[@jessecortez9449]

Ringo twirling his guns revealed to Doc that he was just a boy in a man's world. In real life, Cowboys used to twirl their guns while on cattle drives across hundreds of miles of land. They simply did it out of boredom. It was literally just like a fidget spinner for a modern teen that needs to keep their mind stimulated. Ringo just had the mentality of teenage bully scaring innocent, peaceful folks with flashy twirls. Doc saw this right away. Doc is a killer with nothing to lose because he already had one foot in the grave. When he drew his guns it wasn't to show off, it was to kill. He was so skilled with his guns that he mocked Ringo's gun twirls by perfectly replicating his moves on first sight with his drinking cup. He was drunk and half dead sick and Ringo realized that regardless of that he came across a real killer.

[@joebombero1]

And Doc showed Ringo exactly nothing - like poker. Ringo showed Doc all his cards.

That's kinda the key element of reaction channels. Some people simply never watched movies cause the only watched tv shows or their families didn't allow certain things cause of their upbringing or maybe their foriegn to America and the movies never really made it to them. I'm sure there are plenty of people that are shocked you may never have watched classic black and white movies, romcoms, foriegn subtitled movies or some long running tv show that's not made for your demographic. Someone would probably say "You've never watched Seven Samurai? Literally all the classic westerns are inspired by it.." We all tend to niche ourselves down and only few of us broaden ourselves past those niches.

Doc's line in the movie "I'm afraid the strain was just too much for him to bear" was a clever little nod that the real Ringo likely killed himself.

I do remember it reading that he was probably surprised, not in a gunfight, and I'm pretty sure I remember it indicating his pants were down. But since the grave is on private property and maintained by the owners, not any historical society, maybe they had it wrong.

The more I look back at history the more I think: If only those people had antibiotics…

[@michaelccozens]

The first person to receive penicillin was dying from an infection acquired when he scratched his hand on a thorn in his rose-garden. The penicillin worked incredibly well, but unfortunately there wasn't enough of it to finish-off the infection. By the time more was made, the infection had rebounded and killed the patient. All from the prick of a thorn. That was about 100 years ago. The scary thing is that we're actively moving back to a pre-antibiotics age where any random compromising of the skin-barrier could be your death. The US uses the vast majority of its antibiotics to offset the unhygienic conditions in factory farms, feeding the compromised animals a constant low dose in order to give the meat monopolies like Tyson a little more money. This is also exactly the strategy you'd use if you were attempting to grow antibiotic-resistant pathogens, which is why said bugs are now exploding across the nation and we're down to our last lines of biomedical defense. In addition, the refusal by the government and Big Pharma to invest in the long-term research needed to create new classes of antibiotic means it's unlikely any new "silver bullets" will be discovered before we've completely compromised the old ones. It's literally insane. It's like watching a species that's absolutely dedicated to its own destruction. We might as well be sexually-attracted to fire.

[@judsongaiden9878]

Michael Biehn is downright terrifying when he plays a villain, partially because he plays a villain with the same humanity as any of his hero characters (Kyle Reese is his own personal fave). The real Johnny Ringo, the product of a repressive upbringing, was even more terrifying. One detail they get wrong in this movie was that the real Johnny Ringo was found with a gunshot wound in his right temple, not this left (that's "his" right versus "his" left), and a gaping exit wound on the back of his head. That also means that he was most likely shot head-on rather than at an upward angle.

If you all like this you should watch 3:10 to Yuma(2007) Christian Bale and Russell Crowe.

Think about how crazy life is sometimes. Ringo, one of the fastest and deadliest guns of his time, is on top of the world and feared by anyone who comes across him. As fate would have it, he crosses paths with one of the only men in the country that could have beaten him, and he gets outdueled and shot in the head during a draw. Crazy to think that the Earps decision to move to Tombstone would result in the destruction of the Cowboys. Its an amazing story

One of the best movies ever made!

Dont know if anyone seen the whole movie. But Doc knew he could beat him from the scene in the bar. Ringo kept pointing his gun at Doc. Docs like " your quick, but thats not how you shoot, you shoot from the hip"

One of the best scenes of my childhood. Cool to see a new appreciation.

I thought it was great that that in real life thats where they fond Ringo. Under an oak tree with a bullet in his head. They left out the part where, in reality, his pants were down around his ankles.

I have quoted this movie since I saw it in theaters when it was released!

The crazy part..alot of RINGO's back story they shot was edited out.. it explained why he so evil and cold more... but the cut footage was lost so they could never make a directors cut of a DVD deletes scene section

[@mudflapsmoviereviews]

One of the best performances ever!

The most gangster thing was telling him to “come on!”
