Spencer and Josh are going back to 1993 and talking all about the western film, Tombstone. The late 80s and early 90s were a great resurgence for the western movie. With flicks like Young Guns, The Unforgiven, Back to the Future Part 3, Wyatt Earp, Badgirls, and of course good ole Tombstone.
Staring Kurt Russel and Val Kilmer (RIP), which may be Val's all time most iconic role. He steals every scene he is in with his ultra iconic version of Doc Holiday. If those 2 were not enough this movie is filled to the brim with actors like Sam Elliot, Bill Paxton, Dana Delany, Powers Boothe, Michael Biehn, Charlton Heston, Michael Rooker, Frank Stallone, Thomas Haden Church, and Billy Bob Thorton. Just to name a few. I literally sometimes forget all the great actors that show up in this flick each time I watch it. Beyond that it's directed by George P. Cosmatos who also made Rambo First Blood Part 2 and Cobra.
This movie is always so much fun and Hollywood is firing on all cylinders. Which still always sparks the question, which Wyatt Earp film is the best? Tombstone or Kevin Costner's Wyatt Earp from the following year? Just a great time for epic westerns.
Plot Overview
Tombstone (1993) is a Western film that dramatizes the legendary events surrounding Wyatt Earp, his brothers, and Doc Holliday in the lawless town of Tombstone, Arizona during the late 1800s. After retiring from law enforcement, Wyatt Earp hopes to settle down peacefully, but tensions with a ruthless gang known as the Cowboys escalate into violence. The film climaxes with the iconic Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and its aftermath, as Earp and Holliday embark on a vengeful quest for justice. With a star-studded cast including Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp and Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday, the movie blends gritty action, personal drama, and legendary showdowns into a classic Western tale.
