Richard Widmark was 5’9”. Jim Bowie was a reported 6’6”
Charlton Heston, 6'3", turned the part down.

I’m going with the Johnny Cash version. “ Old Bowie lay dying his powder was ready and dry. Flat on his back Bowie killed him a few in reply.

No one ever called Jim Bowie “James”

They all knew there would be no prisoners, so surrender, even in his condition, was not an option. Bowie, who had fought knife fights to the death, would not have taken the coward’s way out to shoot himself.
I believe he killed as many as he could before he died.
