Billy Clanton: Why, it's the drunk piano player. You're so drunk, you can't hit nothin'. In fact, you're probably seeing double. [Clanton draws a knife; Holliday takes out a second gun] Doc Holliday: I have two guns, one for each of ya.
Doc Holliday: It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds.
I never got the impression that it was a widly popular movie, but I think it's one of the better westerns made in the last decade, far better than the Costner Wyatt Earp movie, which I didn't make it all the way through.
As a kid, I used to live in Sierra Vista, about 30 miles from Tombstone and became steeped in the lore of the place. I grew up thinking of Doc and Wyatt and Virgil as people I almost knew. When I first saw "Tombstone", it was like those imaginary characters come to life. It was uncannily real to me.
I agree -- a great western and a great film. I would put it in my top tier of westerns, right up there with "Rio Bravo", "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance."
