    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Doc Holliday's line "You're a daisy if you do" was inspired by accounts of the real gunfight at the O.K. Corral. According to contemporary reports, Frank McLaury shouted "I've got you now, Doc, you son of a bitch," and Holliday replied "Blaze away! You're a daisy if you have." Screenwriter Kevin Jarre shortened and modernized it to "You're a daisy if you do" for clarity while keeping its historical tone.
    • Goofs
      Some scenes show electrical lights over the pool tables. Light bulbs were invented in 1878 but Tombstone did not have electricity until 1902. Furthermore, pocket billiards as we know it today (using striped, numbered object balls) would not have been played in the American West of the 1870s, having only been developed in the early decades of the twentieth century; the immediate forerunner of pocket billiards (using solid-colored, unnumbered balls) wasn't invented until around 1900.
    • Quotes
      • Johnny Ringo: My fight's not with you, Holliday.
      • Doc Holliday: I beg to differ, sir. We started a game we never got to finish. "Play for Blood," remember?
      • Johnny Ringo: Oh that. I was just foolin' about.
      • Doc Holliday: I wasn't.
    • Crazy credits
      Peter Sherayko credited as "buckaroo coordinator".
    • Alternate versions
      A "Vista Series" director's cut was released in February 2002. Just under five minutes of never-before-seen footage were restored. The most noticeable are:
      • a scene showing the depths of Mattie's addiction to laudanum and her jealousy over Josephine;
      • a somber soliloquy by Doc quoting Kublai Khan;
      • a scene explaining Kate's sudden disappearance from the film, with Doc stressing the importance of friendship;
      • a scene with McMasters and the Cowboys meeting one last time. A small scene showing the graphic result of that meeting has been re-inserted, with the line "They got McMasters!" being moved into this small insert.
