Tombstone

I loved this movie as much as I loved Kll Bill 1&2, and Pulp Foction, and Full Metal Jacket.The Doc Holliday character played by Val Kilmer was wonderful. He and Kurt Russell had such a great chemistry. It showed a true friendship. They were not blood kin but, they should have been. They really loved each other.I cried at the end bc it did have a happy ending.We recently lost Val Kilmer in real life.May his and Bill Paxton's spirits live on forever! We love you guys!

The 4k steelbook arrived with no damage in prestine condition. I ordered another tombstone steelbook from another place and it arrived in perfect shape as well. I have got steelbooks for the last 10-15 years and never had a damage with any of them. After seeing photos of damage to this set and reading comments, all i can say is some people have all the luck and others have no luck at all.

I was initially hesitated buying the 4k due to the price. It is one of my favorite all time movies and decided to preorder the movie. I have to say this almost looks like a new movie due to the rescan. You can see details clearly that you could not in the previous blu ray release. Little things really pop out. This movie looks great and do not listen to the haters. The colors and background details really get highlighted in the rescan 4k rerelease. I would highly endorse picking this up.

Tombstone is a western classic, like the Magnificent 7it brings back memories of movies aboutgood guys versus bad guysand the good guys winWyatt Earp, Doc Holiday and company brings justice back to a western townneeding , Law and Order

The film looks great! The steelbook looks fantastic! It's a shame that the steelbook is already out of print. I don't think Disney is going to have a standard release here in the States. Check overseas dealers or Amazon to pick this up in 4K! You won't regret it!

Best movie ever made. I've seen it over 100 times since it came out and I still love it every single time.

The movie arrived in excellent condition. It plays well. Tombstone is one of my favorite movies.

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.
