Definitely worth the watch
This will always be my favorite Wyatt Earp movie. Some of the best actors, some of the best scenes, and some of the best lines combined to make this movie amazing. I mean who will ever forget the famous scene where Johnny Ringo shows off his gun twirling skills and Doc Holliday up stages him by doing the same thing only better with a freaking cup. And don’t get me started on Doc Holliday’s epic one liners throughout the movie…. mostly to Johnny Ringo, no less.

Good movie!
Watched it with the teens as part of our American History unit. They really liked it! While it isnât all that accurate, it is based on true events and is enjoyable enough to grab their attention and use it as an introduction in to the history of that time.

Exciting Version of the Great Gunfight, and Epilogue: Val Kilmer Ignites as Doc
This version of the Earps and Holiday versus the Cowboys is an exciting and colorful tale with an outstanding cast ( meant a 5 star rating). Unlike the Costner film, this movie starts quickly with the Earp saga starting with their initial entry into Tombstone. The telling of the story is a somewhat compressed liberal historical interpretation but it is pretty factual with a large cast representing authentically the real life characters even as obscure as such as Earp’s extended friends such as Turkey Creek Jack Johnson (Buck Taylor from Gunsmoke) and Texas Jack Vermlllion (Paul Sherayko) to the Clanton’s cowboy pals such as Pony Deal (Forrie J. Smith) and Billy Claiborne (Wyatt Earp, a real descendant of the original). The dress and town scenes appear highly authentic and add to the reality feel of the film. The cast is extraordinary with Val Kilmer standing out in the cast that features Sam Elliott (Virgil) who has excellent scenes as the forceful older brother, Bill Paxton (Morgan), Powers Booth (Curley Bill), Michael Biehn (Ringo), Stephen Lang (Ike Clanton), Thomas Haden Church (Billy Clanton), Charlton Heston (rancher Henry Hooker) in a modest role and Billy Bob Thornton as a relatively obscure but well played ignorant Faro dealer. Kurt Russell does very well playing the lead. His character is in stark contrasts to Costner’s who may reflect the truer character of Earp as a dour, matter of fact fellow but Russell’s show’s a tough but more up beat character that adds life to the film and story. Kilmer is highly entertaining as the sickly yet eerily unpredictable Holiday, ready to enter a fray in spite of his weak physical condition with no fear of death. Kilmer’s sudden and timely appearances add suspense to the story as he utters his classic line “I’m your huckleberry!” The saloon conflict between Ringo, played by Biehn, and Holiday is one of the non-OK corral highlights of the film as the two almost come to shooting it out in the most famous scene in the film when they virtually mock each other classically (literally) during an aborted card game. Stephen Lang is tremendous as the trouble making, despicable and cowardly Ike Clanton that acted as the incendiary to the real life conflict. Aside from the overbearing opening with the Cowboys in a gratuitous violent scene, the film is true to the real story. Curley Bill, in real life, was abusive with his guns and injurious to many individuals but at the same time a friend to others, including town folk who made money off the cowboys such as County Sheriff Behan (well played by John Tenny). These strange relationships between Cowboys who committed crimes and their economic ties to a number of people contributed to the divide in Tombstone well captured in this story (also depicted in the movie “High Noon”). The Earps in this movie have virtually been adopted by the real Tombstone today with a billboard advertisement that looks almost exactly like these Earps and the billboard appears to include Russell’s actual face, front center amongst the other imitators. The walk of the Earps with Holiday is a classic movie poster that captures the authentic costume and steely eyed look of the four some and a copy is well worth hanging on the wall. Also notable in the film, is a brief appearance of Dana Delaney having a very sensual photograph taken that is suddenly interrupted. A real life photo of the same type of picture exists of Josephine Marcus although there is significant controversy whether it really is her or not but is certainly is a sexy picture for the time. Some other issues, Dana Delaney is a very attractive Josephine Marcus and is captivating but her Josephine has less of a past than her real counterpart. Also Harry Carey, Jr. plays Marshall Fred White but White was only 31, not the senior officer as portrayed by Carey. Also, the vengeance ride with Wyatt and friends has some truth to it, his brother Warren was actually with him, but it is not as long and murderous as it is depicted. However, the ambush scene with Earp going toe to toe with the cowboy leader is relatively accurate although not as depicted. Ringo’s death is also a mystery today but some speculate that Earp and Holiday has something to do with it. I give the edge to this movie over Costner’s due to this faster moving script, great cast and Kilmer versus Biehn action; however, seeing both allows for a nice contrast.

“Ich kann das Geld in dieser Stadt förmlich riechen “. Die Brüder Wyatt (Kurt Russell), Virgin (Sam Elliot) und Morgan Earp (Bill Paxton) sind berüchtigte Gesetzeshüter, die mit ihren Frauen in das aufstrebende Tombstone ziehen, um Geld zu machen. Von ihren Gegnern als Dienstmarken tragende Zuhälter betrachtet, die rücksichtslos die geschäftlichen Interessen der Stadt und damit auch ihre Eigenen vertraten. Ihre Gegner Curly Bill Procious (Powers Boothe), Johnny Ringo (Michael Biehn), Ike (Stephen Lang) und Billy Clanton (Thomas Haden Church) gehören zu den roten Scherpen tragenden “Cowboys”. Eine Bande von Gesetzlosen, die als Viehdiebe, Bandidten und Mörder in der Gegend zwar berüchtigt waren, allerdings auch in der aufsteigenden Boomtown Tombstone ihre Freunde hatten.
Es ist ein Zusammenschluss, der auf Zusammenhalt und Ehre basiert und somit Vorläufer als des organisierten Verbrechen in den USA gilt.
Die Earps sind vorläufig nur am Geld interessiert, dass diese aufsteigende Stadt aufgrund einer dort entdeckten Silbermiene zu bieten hat.
Wyatt wird Kartengeber im “Oriental” und ist dort mit 25 % der Einnahmen gut am verdienen. Dort treffen sie auch auf Wyatts alten Freund Doc Holiday (Val Kilmer), ein eiskalter Killer aus den Südstaaten, der sich in der trockenen Umgebung von Arizona eine Linderung seiner Tuberkulose erhofft.
Wyatts Frau Mattie Blaylock (Dana Wheeler Nicholson) ist immer mehr unglücklich und zunehmend eifersüchtig, weil Wyatt ein Auge auf die Schauspielerin Josephine Marcus (Dana Delany) geworfen hat, die mit ihrem Ensemble in der Stadt dauergastiert.
Nachdem der durchgeknallte Curly Bill ein chinesisches Opiumhaus besucht hat, schieÃt er unter Drogen mitten in der Stadt um sich, er schiesst auch in Richtung Mond. Die nächste Kugel kriegt aber spontan der alte Stadtmarschall Fred White (Harry Carey jr.)ab, der sich ihm nähern und die Waffen abnehmen wollte. Die Earps geben ihre Neutralität auf und sind ab diesem Zeitpunkt Gesetzeshüter. Der konflikt gipfelt sich in dem legendären Gunfight am O.K. Coral.
In nur 30 Sekunden fallen bei der SchieÃerei etwa 30 Schüsse, drei Menschen sterben und auch danach regiert nur noch die Rache…
Sehr oft wurde diese legendäre Schiesserei und die Geschichte von Wyatt Earp und Doc Holliday verfilmt.
Die bekanntesten sind Faustrecht der Prärie (John Ford, USA 1946 mit Henry Fonda und Victor Mature), Zwei rechnen ab (John Sturges, USA 1957 mit Burt Lancaster und Kirk Douglas), Die fünf Geächteten (ebenfalls Sturges, USA 1967 mit James Garner und Jason Robards), Wyatt Earp (Lawrence Kasdan, USA 1994 mit Kevin Costner und Dennis Quaid) und alle sind sie gut gelungen. Die beste Verfilmung ist aber tatsächlich den griechischen Regisseur George Pan Cosmatos mit seinem 1993 entstandenen “Tombstone” gelungen.
Klasse ist vor allem die famose Darstellung von Val Kilmer als Doc Holiday, für die er nach meiner Meinung sogar eine Oscar-Nominierung verdient hätte.
Der Film ist mit seinen 134 Minuten sehr vielschichtig, nimmt sich auch ausführlich Zeit für seine Nebenfiguren und lebt von tollen Bildern, von grossen Gesten und seiner spannenden Geschichte, die hier – anders als in den anderen Filmen – seine Helden auch sehr ambivalent zeigt und nicht unbedingt das übliche Gut/Böse Schema des Westerns bedient.
Ein grosses Western-Epos ist den Machern da gelungen….
Auf der zweiten DVD befindet sich ein Making of mit den Unterteilungen “Die Darsteller”, “Wie man einen authentischen Western macht” und “Die Schiesserei am OK Coral”
Ausserdem das Original Storyboard des Regisseurs “Die OK Coral Szene”.
