Tombstone is one of these undeniably cool films. It tells the true story of the shootout at the O.Ok. Corral, with the bigger than life actual cowboys of the west, Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) and his brothers, Morgan (Bill Paxton) and Virgil (Sam Elliott), in addition to Wyatt’s finest pal, Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer). The writing on that film is simply so good. It’s a movie that many really feel compelled to observe any time its on, then recite the phrases to together with the characters.
One cool tidbit of trivia from the movie was not too long ago revealed in an outdated MovieWeb interview with actor Michael Biehn, who performed Johnny Ringo in the pic. He defined that each mustache on the set of the movie was really grown by the actors who wore them, at the request of the movie’s screenwriter and authentic director, Kevin Jarre, apart from one:
“Everyone just grew a mustache. When it comes down to it, this goes back to Kevin Jarre, the film’s original director. He was very specific about how he wanted the mustaches. He wanted them to curl up on the end. Which means, if you grow a mustache, and it grows long enough, you have to use wax on the end of it. Everyone was pretty proud that they grew their own mustache.”
Jon Tenney, who performed the native sheriff, Johnny Behan in the movie, was the solely man who wanted a faux, but it surely wasn’t actually his fault. Biehn went on:
“There was one guy, Jon Tenney. He didn’t get to grow his own mustache because he had a job right before that. They had to put a fake mustache on him. I think he always felt a little bit like the small dog of the group. Because it wasn’t his real mustache. He had to take his mustache off every day. It wasn’t like a mustache styling competition. I don’t think anyone paid much attention to his mustache. Unless Kevin [Jarre] said, ‘Someone work on Michael Biehn’s mustache!'”
Tombstone is a basic, and it’s nonetheless enjoyable to listen to behind-the-scenes information on it from the individuals who made it occur. The movie is at the moment streaming on Paramount+, simply in case it’s time for a rewatch.
