Yes, Powers Boothe played a perfect Curly Bill Brocius in the movie Tombstone.

Played against the character of Val Kilemer as Doc Holiday they were absolutely perfect. Two extremely violent men and with just one a bit more humane than the other. However, Doc Holiday had a sense of humor as opposed to Curly. It was two brilliant actors in perfect sync. Tombstone was a great movie.

The end was bitter sweet. Doc Holiday looked down and saw he had not boots on as he died, and said, "I be damned."

Powers Boothe and Val Kilmer were both great in Tombstone, in my humble opinion, one of the best Westerns ever made, and I've seen them all. Certainly one of the most period correct Western films.

I have read that Kurt Russell took over when things weren't going right and directed most of the film.

“Doc Holiday looked down and saw he had not boots on as he died, and said, “I be damned.” “

I always wondered how many in the Snowflake Generation got that.
