Trivia
The original script called for filming on an outdoor location but, due to budget constraints, filming took place in the studio. These constraints also prevented the set designers from building a complete Western town and the concept of pieces of a town drawn from Kirk's mind was developed.

Goofs
During the shootout at the OK Corral, Doc Holliday fires his double-barreled shotgun several times without reloading. However, the "inexhaustible firearm" is a common trope in Western movies, and this one is designed to be surreal.

Quotes
Capt. Kirk: In the late nineteenth century in Arizona, two factions fought for control of the town Tombstone. The Earps - Morgan, Virgil and Wyatt - who were the town marshals, along with Doc Holliday.
Spock: And the Clanton gang. On October 26th, they... had it out.
Chekov: Who won?
Capt. Kirk: The Clantons lost, Mr. Chekov.
Chekov: And we... are... the Clantons?
