I didn’t know that, that’s interesting.
Was earp a consultant on a movie?
Wyatt in the 1920 hung around film studios and offered his expert advice about the Real West.
This is amazing! What did you think about kurt Russell’s portrayal? I read about doc and the book said doc couldn’t hit a barn but no one challenged him because of the tb they thought he had a death wish.
Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer. IMHO the BEST Wyatt/ Doc combo. Tombstone #1. I’ll be your huckleberry.
Much better movie than the long winded Kostner epic of Wyatt Earp. Though I like the extended history in Earp and will sit through it if it’s on.
Tombstone, Unforgiven and the original Lonesome Dove mini series are in my opinion the best westerns in the late 20th Century.
I would have to say my all time favorite is The Magnificent Seven. This plot has been used in more movies than any other.
James Coburn telling them “ No one gives me .y guns and tells me to leave, no one.”
Or Steve McQueen in Magnificent Seven “We Deal in Lead, Friend.”
Another similar movie called “The Professionals” stared Lee Marvin. And the BEST of the go to Mexico and save the peons “The Wild Bunch”. Damn that’s good Sam Peckinpah!
I shoot in cowboy matches that are based on that movie. Wild Bunch cowboy shoots include 1911s, 1897 pump winchester shotguns and various turn of the century rifles.
Own those too!
