Hey Harry! Hey Lauren! Tombstone is one of the best films I have ever seen, definitely one of the best westerns that Hollywood has produced during MY lifetime. I am thrilled to have gotten to enjoy it yet again along side you guys! The OK Corral incident has been portrayed on screen many times, some of those were better than others, but based on historical evidence, Tombstone's portrayal of it is pretty close to the real deal. Val Kilmer was absolutely fantastic in his role, but truly the entire cast was very, very good. Doc Holliday's Latin In vino veritas: Means "in wine there is truth". Holliday said this while slurring his whiskey, suggesting that he tells the truth when he's drunk. Johnny Ringo's Latin Age quod agis: Means "do what you do". Ringo used this as a free adaptation of a Latin proverb. Doc Holliday's Response Credat Judaeus Apella, non ego: Means "The Jew Apella may believe [it]; I don't". This line alludes to the Augustan poet, Horace. Ringo's Response Eventus stultorum magister: Means "action/experience is the teacher of fools". Ringo said this while gesturing towards his gun, implying that he would "educate" Doc by killing him. Doc Holliday's Final Response In pace requiescat: Means "may he rest in peace". Holliday said this in response to Ringo's threat. laudanum is a tincture of opium, with powdered opium being usually about 10% by volume. One member of the cast that somehow flew under MY radar for a LONG time was Tomas Arana, who played Frank Stillwell (the cowboy sent with Ike Clanton to 'finish' the Earps at the train station but took a scatter gun round to the chest). He played Quintus in the film Gladiator, General Maximus' second in command in germania. He also has a small role in The Hunt for Red October. I would highly recommend BOTH of those films for ya'alls channel. So Lauren had asked a couple of questions: the term slug back in those days referred mainly to bullets in the handguns. Nowadays, the terminology has shifted somewhat. In todays firearms nomenclature, a slug is almost always a single large piece of metal fired from a shotgun. The tombstone with the reference to 4 slugs from a .44 was referring to bullets from a hand gun. Lester Moore was a wells fargo agent who had been shot in an altercation over a package being damaged by a man named Hank Dunstan (who perished in the gunfight as well, from a single gunshot wound in the chest) in 1880. The problem with this is that Wyatt and his crew rode IN to tombstone in December of 1879 so there is NO way they could have ridden past Moore's tomb. She had been asking about Doc's final words: basically Doc had spent his whole life expecting to die IN a gunfight and therefore, with his boots ON. He was remarking on how odd it seemed to him in that moment that he was going to die in bare feet. Accidental discharge with single action revolver can ONLY take place if the hammer has been cocked. A double action revolver would be far less safe to swing around and do fancy-schmancy spins with because you could theoretically pull the trigger and discharge the weapon. Josephine Marcus, riding side saddle when she meets Wyatt for the first time officially. I find it interesting that the filmmakers decided to go to that level of historical detail with it. When Doc is talking to the music lover and draws his second pistol, he spins both pistols but one clockwise and one counterclockwise, demonstrating that while he certainly is inebriated, he is not so far gone that he can't effectively fight. There is a conversation around the midway point of the film, where the Earp brothers are discussing buying a bar/gambling parlor of their own to increase their profit even further. Wyatt says they will eventually breeze out of tombstone with more money than Croesus. This is, in fact, is a subtle measure of Wyatts education. Most men in that sort of a town would not know a thing in this world about King Croesus of Lydia, said to be one of the wealthiest king's of that time period (conquered by Cyrus the Great of persia in 546 BCE). I had thought for a long time that the script had called for the deliberate mispronunciation of CRASSUS as a reference to Marcus Licinius Crassus, the wealthiest ROMAN in the historical record, worth some 200 BILLION dollars in todays money when he invaded Parthia in 53 BCE to gain MORE money but instead lead the Roman army into one of its worst defeats at the Battle of Carrhae. (allegedly he was executed by having molten gold poured down his throat in reference to his greed) I find it interesting too that Beehan talks about how Tombstone was going to be as big as San Francisco. At it's height, Tombstone had maybe 20,000 people, San Fran during THAT time, had around 250,000. Nowadays, Tombstone has maybe 1400 permanent residents. SF has, lets see....825,000......clearly Tombstone didn't become the thriving metropolis Beehan predicted. ONE last bit of lore: when you first see Doc Holiday playing poker, he says something about his opponent having what MUST be a good hand, in order to bet 500 dollars on it. For reference, in todays money, that bet would have been 14,221 dollars....

A prospector by the name of Ed Schieffelin founded the city of Tombstone Arizona, in which the film is based on. He was the one who discovered the rich silver mine in the 1870s. I believe the story goes that he named the town Tombstone because a soldier from a nearby camp told him that “the only thing he would find in the wilderness out there was his own Tombstone”. He then named the town “Tombstone“ in a bit of a boastful move lol. Doc Holliday was an incredibly intelligent individual. He actually was too young to practice dentistry by law when he got his degree at 20 years old. He began to practice in Atlanta anyway. He would continue his dentistry skills when he first moved west in Dallas and the West Texas area, but eventually had to give it up. His coughing fits and trembling hands from his tuberculosis, made it hard to practice dentistry efficiently. He inevitably would give up dentistry for gun, slinging, and gambling. What a legend! 😎 Edit: I don’t think I’ve ever seen Harry smiling ear to ear through almost an entire reaction! I believe the word used there would be “cheeky”. 😂 He’s going to love things like Unforgiven, Yellowstone & 1883. The Good the Bad and the Ugly is a great one as well! I am really, so happy that you both enjoyed this so much! It’s a really hard movie to not enjoy honestly!

You can tell Harry was smiling from ear to ear on this reaction. Doc Holiday will go down as the best character Val Kilmer ever played. As for other Western movies my favorites are The Quick and the Dead 1995, 3:10 to Yuma 2007, in the spaghetti westerns they are 3 movies made by an Italian director and were filmed in Europe, this are pretty good.

Absolutely loved it thats for sure. One of my favourite movies now haha. Val Kilmer was awesome! Definitely need to try and watch some more!

Oh I love that is how the name came to be 😅 a little morbid and a little tongue in cheek! Ahh the quick hands makes sense to be a dentist, I can see how those skills are kinda transferable to being a good cowboy too 😅 This movie was beyond our expectations so that's positive for these other ones you've suggested! Harry is definitely going to love any cowboy-western genre! Feel like we need to visit America some day and go see some of these areas to see the history, such a cool time period!

Thank you for clarifying these points, so easy to miss so much when watching it for the first time! And obviously not having as much knowledge around guns and America around this time! Interesting to hear this is near accurate depiction of the OK Corral event, is there any other movies/shows that show it better? Agreed about Val Kilmer! All the cast was stunning in their roles but honestly I don't think anyone could've beat that performance, it was spectacular! Easy to love him when Doc is just so loveable but still! It's a shame we didn't pick up on the phrases used as you mentioned above, these would've just given the movie an extra added level we missed out on! The shoes for Doc makes so much sense now, extremely sad in some ways that he didn't die in some epic shootout, I feel like that may have been so disappointing for him after all the crazy tales he lived through.. Impressive to get her to ride side saddle but cool they decided to add it in for historical accuracy.. also those conversions are crazy for the poker games, so hard to picture being so confident to bet such a large sum of money on it!

well actually one of the recent films you might want to watch, entitled simply "Wyatt Earp" and starring Kevin Costner AS Wyatt (and a boatload of other good actors in supporting roles) is said to be a somewhat better telling of Wyatt's entire story, has an OK Corral shootout that is very similar.....
