The BEST and MOST authentic version of it I've seen was on the 1970's TV program "David L. Wolper Presents: You Are There"!

Wow, still a great movie! John P.

FYI...At 4:07 that is NOT a picture of Doc Holliday. That man is John Escapule, directly related to current Tombstone mayor Dusty Escapule. He was a contemporary of Doc in town but they couldn't have been different peoplke!

Right you are! Don't know how that ever started but it won't go away.

So- A. There was a gunfight. Doc Holliday was involved. He carried a shotgun. B. Witnesses fir the hearing that followed, people who actually were there or at least within earshot, testified that a shotgun went off in the early seconds of the battle. But- C. According to the expert, that's simply not true. Because Wyatt Earp said something different.

Great historical perspective.

Enjoyed this.Thank you.

This is why I rarely watch movies anymore

Why would a video purporting to tell the real story use a photo of John Escapule in place of Holliday?

It was murder the Earps were charged with murder second time he got away with it

Earp was in the Arizona Territory because he was running from a murder charge in Kansas....he was a bartender and card dealer.....the western mythology makes many of the bad guys into heroes

What did he say at the end that y’all muted he said but the erupts

going there when the temps drop

Really enjoyed this ... more please 👍 as usual it was an underlying political issue but kudos to Wyatt Earp !!

So true.

The only thing Wyatt embellished is who fired the first shoots, that was Morgan and Doc who were determined to rid themselves of the cowboys....

Hollywood does liven real events up and stretch the truth a bit and sometimes a lot but if they didn't a significant amount of the movie audience would probably fall asleep watching what really happened or maybe not even show up.

This is true about almost all movies that "portray" historical events in history. Mainly the Quote, "wild west" and "WWII". As you say, if Hollywood made a truley factual movie about ether of these two eras, people would fall asleep or not come to see it. A prime example is the movie The Battle of Britten made in 1968. A very historically accurate movie in every way, including searching the world for the correct aircraft. It was a flop at the theaters. The critics gave it very bad reviews. They said that the movie had no real plot. The plot was Briten fighting for it's life as it were. Again, just like anything connected to the gunfight in the alley next to the OK corral the truth doesn't sell' it's too boring.

If three another western movie and I play famous lawman wyatt earp famous lawman

Anything that comes out of Hollywood must be taken with a sack of salt.

Thirty seconds at most in a vacant lot and everybody called it a street fight

It was a streetfighter. It started in the vacant lot, but spilled out into the street.

Wyatt and Doc ruled

Hollywood cannot get anything right.

These kids burning our cities down and beating elderly white women to death think it's real.

Equal parts of both. That is why the media pushes it.

Yep. He walked the walk. He didn't need to talk the talk because his deeds did all the talking that was needed. A soft-spoken and a generally peaceful man who rose to the occasion when it was necessary as so many before him had done (e.g., Alvin York). The kind of man that I hope to God are still out there and ready to step up to the plate when needed.

Alot was missed in this vid. Like how they did kill his brother and wound his other . But hey say what you want

So far you’re talk thru your hat . Most of this is common knowledge. You guys act like you’re the only ones that know everything by producing this miss leading information.I knew all about history and Hollywood when I was ten years old.

It took me months to find out it was Wyatt who along with Billy fired the first shot. I talked to a woman who's father loves watching Tombstone and I told her I have researched the "Gunfight At the OK Corral". She asked me, "What's that?".

"Wyatt Earp" comes very, very close to the actual gunfight. The empty lot is better. The movement toward the street is better. The action of Ike is better in "Tombstone" and also the death of Frank McLaury. What is sort of humorous is the play put on by the Tombstone players. That is a horrible interpretation.

Tombstone would never would have got on the map or anything about that city if it wasn’t for Hollywood wouldn’t be talking about right now🤔

Question was taylor there ???? Nope! Is there proof it was 30 secs?? Nope . Did someone have a stop watch on and everyone knows why they called it ok corral. Good try though old timer
