Tombstone

Hollywood Pictures/Disney release on both 4K UHD & Blu-ray Steel book this popular film from 1993 about the real-life incident of the gunfight at the OK corral on OCT. 26, 1881, in Tombstone Arizona between the lawmen Earp brothers Wyatt, Virgil, and Morgan (played by Kurt Russell, Sam Elliott, and Bill Paxton) and the outlaw Clanton family and associates. The fight itself lasted a short time, but the drama and events that led up to it and the aftermath comprise the bulk of the film. Val Kilmer also shines as friend and gunfighter Doc Holliday. I am presently unable to view the UHD, the new Blu-ray transfer looks stunning, an upgrade from the old Blu-ray, porting over those extras but otherwise providing no new content. The steel book is nice, though the paper sleeve covering it is attached rather flimsily, so will require some taping to keep it on, if you decide to keep it at all. First rate film in most regards may well be the best version made yet, quite exciting, well-acted and directed (by George P. Cosmatos) A must have for Western fans.

Awesome movie here! A true great western with extraordinary actors!

This is my husband's favorite movie. The actors are very well-dressed and sets are so beautiful. It's entertaining and compelling. Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday steals the show. He was amazing in this movie. I recommend it.

Tombstone is probably one of the best movies ever made. I highly recommend it. The acting and the characters are well known.

Love this movie. Great gift

Excellent price and delivered quickly

Movie was great, the picture resolution is bad on modern TV’s.

A super movie. Great cast. Great color. Great dialog. Memorable. I've watched it multiple times and love The Val Kilmer and Kurt Russell camaraderie.

The theme seems to be a common theme in movies with dogs literally acting out their lives, standing a bit longer here to look around, because that's what you do, constantly minding your attitude, yet easily moved to sway by the simplest of temptations. It's interesting to note the lady actress received a good luck wish on her conquest of Wyatt Earp at the beginning by her actor boyfriend. Pair that with her without any previous acquaintance to any of them bursting into the wives' room, putting on a play, with what appears to be the male actor boyfriend in a hooded cloak, no cowboy-hat, bursting in after her with a shotgun, firing a couple of rounds, and the stage has been set. They gratuitously instigate the conflict after the OK Corral shoot-out, the red scarf carrying Cowboys notifying the Earps it wasn't them, yet the Earps not getting it. The male actor boyfriend got killed for what he did, but none of that is spelled out in the movie. Every single person in the movie is just an actor, acting out their lives, because they feel that's the way they should live their lives. There isn't a single bit of free will in any of this movie and that's also what makes it so bold and interesting. Who and what is good and bad flips over and over at a coin toss when you think about it. It's all just play, with no-one knowing anything.

This isn't just a film about the gunfight at the OK Corral, it is a film about the Earps and what became known as the Earp Vendetta Ride. It simply had the misfortunte of being up against another film about Wyatt Earp that starred Kevin Costner in his prime. Wyatt Earp (19 March 1848 - 19 January 1929) was at various times in his life a gambler, saloon keeper, farmer, gold miner and lawman. Virgil Earp (18 July 1843 - 19 October 1905) mainly a gambler but also a well known lawman Morgan Earp (24 April 1851 - 18 March 1882) John Henry "Doc" Holliday (14 August 1851 - 8 November 1887) dentist, gambler and gunfighter The film Tombstone follows the move of the Earp brothers Wyatt (Kurt Russell) and Morgan (Bill Paxton) at the silver mining town of Tombstone, in Arizona, after leaving Dodge City, where older brother Virgil Earp (Sam Elliott) had just Tombstone been appointed deputy US Marshal. The film doesn't quite stick to the facts - leaving out some of the Earp brothers and the trial of Wyatt and the others for murder after the gunfight at the OK Corral. Wyatt and Morgan didn't arrive together. Missing are older brother James (who arrived with Wyatt) and worked as a barkeep, and younger brother Warren arrived later with Morgan. Then finally Doc Holliday arrived. Holliday is portrayed by Val Kilmer, who succeeds in stealing every scene that he is in. The trouble between the Earps and the cowboys after Virgil accused Frank McLaury of stealing army horses and mules and altering the brands - usually known as cattle rustling. The Cowboys were well known for cattle rustling, if you had any animals and they were missing then they were usually in the possession of the Cowboys. After several stagecoach hold-ups and shootings tensions between the Cowboys and the Earps were at breaking point and this was the build up to the famous (or infamous) Gunfight at the OK Corral. A few minutes that have since gone down as legend. Interestingly (and missing from the film) after the gunfight, the corrupt sheriff Johnny Behan arrested the Earp brothers and Holliday, and they faced trial for murder. Ike Clanton's testimony was said to have been extremely unbelievable - the towns people knew him as a bully and a thug, yet he said that he was terrified and feared the Earp's as they had repeatedly bullied, frightened and intimidated him. It was Ike Clanton's own contradictory and confused testimony that cleared the Earps and Holliday. Claiming that the Cowboys had merely been trying to enjoy the evening air and that they were not in the habit of carrying guns went against every witness that had given evidence at the trial, including his own men. He also claimed that Wyatt, Morgan, Virgil and Doc had confessed separately to him that they were responsible for the stage coach robberies and murders. Wyatt took advantage of a law that allowed him to read a prepared statement without being cross-examined by the prosecution. He read his statement, in a calm and controlled manner, which detailed the troubles between the two groups, how they only wanted to disarm the men and that they had to fire in self-defence. That, along with the respected witnesses, cast enough doubt on the case that the jury decided to free them. It was after this that the Cowboys decided to assassinate the Earps, and so Wyatt (with the help of an ailing Doc Holliday and a posse) embarked on the vendetta ride, for the blood of those who had harmed his family. Wyatt Earp had been friends with notable Wild West figures such as Wild Bill Hickcock and Bat Masterson. As well as western movie stars such as Tom Mix, William S Hart and even a young John Wayne. Kurt Russell is an established authority on Wyatt Earp and it shows in the fact that the story is about Wyatt's Vendetta Ride and what caused it, rather than the usual Gunfight at the OK Corral. It is a shame that the time constraints meant that so much of the story of the Earps, the Clantons and the Cowboys had to be missed out. Personally, if Mr Russell ever decided to make the story of the Earps into mini series I'd watch it and I'd buy it too, if it was done to the same standard as this movie. As I have previously said Val Kilmer steals the show as Doc Holliday with a performance that should have earned him awards. But to mention Mr Kilmer with out mentioning his `huckleberry' Michael Biehn would be a crime. Biehn portrays Johnny Ringo, an educated man who Holliday calls the "deadliest pistoleer since Wild Bill", and a wonderful foil for Kilmer to play off. Yet by picking out those I don't want you to think that the others aren't as good, the entire cast is amazing, without exception this film should have been award winning - the only reason it wasn't is down to Hollywood politics and the movie industry snobbery. Shame on them. This is a well made, well acted, and exceptionally underrated film - it is what a true western should be. Outstanding. --- Side Note --- The US region 1 double disc set is well worth a look. If you have a universal player then they are worth the money. You get a disc of extras, as well as a director's cut of the movie. I rate both versions of the film, but the director's cut is a more fulfilling film.

Très bon film. Seul bémol sur le Blu-ray, il n'y a pas la piste française ou de sous-titres français. À titre personnel ce n'est pas un problème, mais veuillez corriger le descriptif pour les non anglophones.
