The real Wyatt Earp was not so upright and "clean". He may have been a law officer, but he had his hand in several illegal activities. Doc Holiday was a real doctor, a dentist. He contracted Tuberculosis, but he didn't want to die from it. So, he started to live a self-destructive lifestyle including gambling and gunfighting. However, because of his steady hands, he was too good at shooting and eventually died of the TB. The casting for this was outstanding, especially Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer, and Dana Delaney was just marvelous.

My favorite western! Dana Delaney is always lovely, but never as much as in this movie. Val Kilmer should have won an Oscar for this but there was a lot of competition that year.
The thing about Doc when he did the cup spinning thing. Wasn't only to mock Ringo but that he also copied it perfectly but with a cup and Ringo recognized it.
Many people believe that Val Kilmer deserved the Oscar that year.

As you have probably gathered by now, Dasha, Wyatt Earp, Morgan Earp, Virgil Earp and their families, Doc Holliday, and Ike Clanton and the Cowboys gang were actual, real-life historical figures in the Wild West. The shootout near the OK corral in Tombstone actually took place largely as portrayed, with Wyatt being the only participant who was not killed or wounded in the gunfight. The incident in which Doc and the Earps were caught in the crossfire ambush at the river, during which Wyatt Earp waded out into the water amidst a hail of bullets to confront Curly Bill, also really happened. Doc Holliday’s illness made him reckless, careless with his life. His mindset was that it would be better to die in a quick, clean gunfight than to suffer a long lingering death due to tuberculosis. His performance as Doc Holliday is Val Kilmer’s best role and greatest performance. (Laudanum is a mixture of opium and alcohol, and Wyatt's common-law wife was addicted to it, which led to her death from an overdose.)
Although dramatised, most of the major events actually occurred. Val's Final words was what was what Doc Holliday actually said. To get the shaking and chills for Doc's Deathbed, Val was lying on a block of Ice hidden under the covers. Wyatt helped in Early Movies as a Consultant. During this Time he made Several Celebrity friends. Amongst them was a Young Actor that Patterned Every Cowboy Persona in his Movies after Wyatt. The Actor was JOHN WAYNE!
A "lunger" is someone who suffers from tuberculosis. Most of Doc Holiday's family died from tuberculosis. He swore up to his death bed that he would die with his boots on..........at the end, he laughs at his bare feet.
Greetings from Finland girl!! There were actually a tombstone witch said "no less no more" and so on.. I think lunger means that Doc was suffering from from a lung disease which was tuberculosis.. The director of this movie was an asshole towards the actors and Kurt Russell took over and that made this movie a great western. All the mustaches in this movie are real except the county sheriff because he was involved in another project at the time of filming. Wyatt wasn't married with Mattie. You probably didn't notice that Val Kilmer spinned both of his guns in the opposite directions when he said "one for each of you. The owner of the Hooker ranch is Charlton Heston who has played in the original planet of the apes movie and many other ones. The cast in this movie is wide and amazing idk if noticed or know every actor who plays in this movie. Doc said this is funny because he always thought he'd die with his boots on guns blazing. "i'll be back" 😎
Nah, I think Kurt Russel was the a-hole because he refused to let the director do his job. It would've probably been an more accurate movie had the original director made it.
19:59 People in the days of the American frontier had _no_ business going into town, late at night. _Nothing_ good happened there, that time of day. Whatever business you had in town you could handle when the Sun was up. Then you could return to your homestead and ride the night out, there. Absolutely _nothing_ good happened, in town, at night.
This is a retelling of the Gunfight at the OK Corral. Although fictionalized, it is a reasonable telling of the historical events. I love this movie for the entertainment value. Kevin Costner's "Wyatt Earp", which came out around the same time, goes into a little more detail, and I believe it is a little more accurate. Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday is absolutely amazing. The rancher that they held up with near the end, Henry Hooker, was played by the legendary Charlton Heston. The narrator of the movie was Robert Mitchem. There were several old time western movie and TV stars that had parts in this movie.
16:32 "Oh my god. No, she's not a good woman." She hurts you the way a _drug_ hurts you. She makes you feel good, but in the long run, she ruins your health.
Dasha, you're more than welcome to come to Arizona and walk down the Main Street of Tombstone and see it for yourself. Also, be sure to go on a tour of the silver mine there which is why the town exists in the first place. Val Kilmer is known for many roles, but for many of us he'll always be the only actor capable of becoming Doc Holliday. I'm glad you liked the film. Now visit the town and see it for yourself. 😃
From what I understand of real events, Wyatt Earp actually defended Curly Bill in court over the shooting of the marshal and helped to get it ruled an accident. They shortened it a bit for the movie's sake
To be fair Wyatt was a borderline outlaw himself. More of a crook with a badge than a strait lawman. This movie hints that but his character is still white washed a fair bit.
So did Fred White in a way. He didn't die straight away from the gunshot in real life. He lasted a couple of hours. During that time, he gave a written statement saying that he believed that Curly Bill did not intend to shoot him. The gun went off as Bill was trying to hand it over to him.
The one scene that is totally fictional is the duel at the end between Doc and Ringo. It's been circumstantially proven that Ringo was on a drunken bender and a day or two after being seen alive was found dead with an apparent self inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Holliday was hundreds of miles away in Colorado for a court appearance. Wyatt later claimed he killed Ringo, but there's no evidence to support it. Having said all that, that scene was just awesome. A fitting end to the feud/rivalry. Too bad the fiction wasn't also the fact.
For more background on Wyatt. Kevin Costner's WYATT EARP 1994. Wyatt's first wife died. His second was of convenience. They never divorced. Mattie and Wyatt weren't married. He and Josephine were likewise never married. This movie starts in 1879, and both Ike and Doc died in '87. Mattie died in '88. Doc didn't shoot Ringo. Wyatt was a major inspiration for movie cowboys. The OK Corral still amazes me. 10 men 30 seconds 30 shots in a space of a two car garage. Only three deaths. That had to be very stressful for those citizens NOT involved. There are many movies with different interpretations. This was the most accurate. Thanks for watching.
Maddie was also his 'best girl' from his days as a pimp. Funny, the movie doesn't mention that detail. I mean, I love the movie, but Wyatt had some flaws that the film ignores.
@@FordWMaverickhe was more a crook with a badge than a genuine lawman. And the feud between the cowboys was closer to a conflict between to criminal groups. But he this makes a better movie and is more accurate than most Hollywood true stories.
I lived in Tucson for 20 years, Tombstone is just down I-10, like 40 min away. It's very tourist-y now, but there were some cool things about it, and this film is quite accurate in terms of events, especially Wyatt wading out into the middle of that creek and killing Curly Bill, not a single shot hit him. Old Tucson Studios is where you should visit if you want that real Old West vibe, that's where they filmed parts of this movie, and other westerns like High Chaparral. I have friends who are stuntmen there. Joanna Pacula played Doc's girlfriend Big Nose Kate Mattie Blaylock was Wyatt's common-law wife (not an official marriage, per se) who killed herself overdosing on laudanum, an opium tincture, as she was addicted. That's one of the main reasons Wyatt left her. Marshal Fred White didn't die instantly when Curly Bill accidentally shot him. They were good friends, and he testified at Curly Bill's hearing in Tucson to that effect, that he didn't realize the gun was half-cocked when he gave it to Fred when it discharged and shot him in the groin. He died a few days later. It was when Wyatt pistol-whipped Bill after the shooting that made him turn on the Earps. Fun bit of local history too: Ike Clanton is forever known as the "Loud-mouthed Coward" of Tombstone because of his propensity to talk mad shit when surrounded by his boys, but VERY quick to plead for his life and run when confronted alone, as you can see.
Here are the latin translations (in order): Doc: In wine, is truth Johnny: Bring it on! Doc: May the Jew apella, not I, believe it (Tell it to someone who cares) Johnny: Let me teach you a lesson (or youth is the teacher of fools, depending on who you ask) Doc: May he rest in peace
Dasha, you seemed a little confused about the Latin lines in the bar. It apparently was an escalating argument between Ringo and Doc. Doc, of course, had a classical education and can speak Latin. The movie portrays Ringo as a classical educated man, in real life he was not. But the little exchange illustrated the rising tensions and competition between the Earps and the "Cowboys". Anyway here are the phrases from the bar scene: 1. Doc says: “In vino veritas.” This means “In wine there is truth.” 2. Ringo replies: “Age quod agis.” This means “Do what you do.” 3. Doc retorts: “Credat Judaeus Apella, non ego.” This means “Let the Jew Apella believe it; not I” 4. Ringo then says: “Eventus stultorum magister.” Which would mean “Experience is the teacher of fools.” 5. Doc Holliday finally says: “In pace requiescat.” This means “Rest in peace.” Have a great weekend and keep up the good work with your page on TH-cam.
Darling Dasha, you have just watched one of the very best Westerns. Not just of the recent past, but ever. Every actor was worthy of an award. The script was top notch. The direction was superb. And the music just right. Even has a Charlton Heston cameo! Dasha, I'm your huckleberry.
Just some constructive criticism, Dasha; the "I'm your huckleberry" scene between Doc and Ringo is legendary in cinema. You should've left in that, and the OK Corral scene in their entireties.
0:44 Silent B words The letter B likes to silently follow the letter M at the end of many words, such as in dumb, plumb, crumb, thumb, numb, succumb, lamb, limb, climb, tomb, comb, bomb, and womb. The letter B also seems to also slip in silently before the letter T in words like debt, doubt, and subtle.
Based on real events? Shootout at the OK Corral was very famous for over one hundred years, but has faded into obscurity. Multiple movies were made on the topic and many TV shows touched on it - there was even a Star Trek episode about it. This is very loosely based on those events.
I lived in Tucson a little over a decade. When people would visit us from out of state, we almost always took them to Tombstone. It's pretty touristy, but still pretty neat. Always loved walking the wood sidewalks in boots.
One of the best possible "first westerns" for friends who have never seen a western before. FWIW, Wyatt and Maddie never married. She was a prostitute he picked up, but she couldn't straighten out, and she returned to prostitution after they broke up, and before long died of an overdose.
Doc's girlfriend was played by Polish actress Joanna Pacula. The woman in real life was a Hungarian immigrant named Mary Katherine Horony, known as "Big Nose Kate", a very interesting character herself in real life. The woman Doc falls in love with was Jewish, Sarah "Sadie" Marcus, family originally from east Prussia. The Wild West was a fascinating place indeed.
You weren't too far off thinking Wyatt's wife was drinking cough syrup. She was drinking laudanum which is prepared by dissolving extracts of the opium poppy in alcohol and was primarily used as a pain killer and cough suppressant. Also a "lunger" is a derogitory slang term for someone with TB (more commonly known as consumption during the time period in the movie)
I've been waiting for you to react to this film. I go to Tombstone often, you can still see the bullet holes in the ceiling at the bird cage . The cowboys actually never wore red sahses, that's just Hollywood. Wyatt was actually sitting in a chair watching Morgan play pool. A bullet missed him and hit the wall. Great reaction.
Hilarious much of the cast of this too. Has done comic book films. Kurt Russel who plays Wyatt played Ego in Guardians of the galaxy. Michael roller who plays mcmasters played Yondu in the guardian's of the galaxy films. Sam Elliot who played Virgil Warp played General road I. The Hulk. Billy Zane who plays the actor played the classic comic character the Phantom. Powers booth who plays curly Bill was a council member that they reported to in the MCU. Val Kilmer played Barman in Barman forever. The actress voicing Josephine was the voice actress for all is lane in the DC animated universe for several year.
Kate WAS a good woman. She knew doc was dying- nothing could change that... But he could have a say in HOW he died. Doc didn't want to die in bed- he wanted to die living the big life. Kate was giving him what he wanted. Do you think it's easy helping your man commit suicide?
I saw Doc Holliday's grave in Glenn Springs, Colorado. I accidently found Wyatt and Josephine's first house, in Vidal, California. This is my favorite American story. Growing up, it was always about the gunfight at OK corral. But the entire story is soo much better.
Laudanum was a common "cure-all" of that time, and was especially common among women. It was opium mixed with alcohol (usually whiskey). Opium is an opioid, and is essentially a less refined version of heroin, morphine, oxycontin, or fentanyl (they are all opioids, and come from the poppy flower). You also see several characters smoking opium in the Chinese-operated opium dens (they're smoking something similar to a hookah pipe). In the 1700s, the British were making a ton of money importing opium from the area of modern Afghanistan and Pakistan into China (very much against China's wishes, but the British has the power at the time), and got much of urban Chinese addicted to opium, and so later, in the mid 1800s when this movie is set, it was almost always the Chinese who ran opium dens. At the time, there were no anti-drug laws, and these substances were not well understood. Anyone could "create" their own potions, elixirs, and other fake concoctions and sell them to whoever would buy them, and those people usually didn't care much about side effects or long-term outcomes. Because laudanum was such a commonly used "medication", especially among women (for headaches and menstrual pain, among other things), many women at the time were addicted to it, and ODs (overdoses) were not uncommon. ODs were also common among opium smokers, as was crime, because people high on opium might have hallucinations and react violently to them, much as we see Curly Bill do. Of course, there was also no shortage of whiskey, and most of the time the Cowboy gang was committing crimes, they were drunk. Again, the only restriction on booze at the time was being able to afford it, and many people spent most of their lives drunk.
Your history is pretty accurate, but the dates are wrong. The British Raj (India) transported opium to China in the 19th (not the 18th) century, and this movie took place in the 1880's not the "mid 19th century".
A classic! Doc and Wyatt's friendship was great! A recommendation for your western movie polls.. Open Range. Oh and did you see McMasters was younger Michael Rooker, you know best as Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy
Also awesome fact Wyatt was never shot in real life and the film even when he killed the leader of the Cowboys the bullets only went trough the coat not him it scared the gang so much that the dying member that crawled away supposedly stated Wyatt was the Horseman of death or something like that that is why it is mentioned a lot in the film.
Hello Dasha. " Laudanum is an alcoholic tincture of opium, a 10 percent solution of opium powder dissolved in high-proof distilled spirits. ". In Tombstone, Arizona is GF Spangenberg Gun Shop. The store that the Earp Brothers or anyone needing ammunition or firearms made their purchase. Inside the store in the center is a enclosed pedestal, that is about 4 feet tall. Inside this pedestal is the pair of black leather boots that have the Aces sewn onto the shin of the boots. It is an excellent store to visit, the firearms are reasonably priced. " Hey! "
Greetings Dasha. Always love your reactions. Since you enjoyed "Tombstone", I would recommend watching the HBO series "Deadwood". It is set during the same period of American history, with a superb cast.
Dasha, you asked why the cowboys don't give up once their leader was gone. Some of them want to be the new leader, and some others just join other gangs. So Wyatt just wanted to kill all the gangsters. Great reaction as always😊 BTW are you in Toronto? There is a big Russian community here.
This is my favorite movie of all time and you are my favorite reactor of all time. I can not believe my two favorite things are finally coming together.
BTW, this was a true story, and of all the movies about the OK Corral shootout and Wyatt Earp, this is probably the most accurate, though it did take some liberties at some times. To Americans, this story is like Homer's Odyssey, because the myths around Wyatt Earp and his Posse are a big part of our cultural mythology.

In the frontier west in America, we had laws, but we did not have lawmen. That job was left to those who would not permit crimes. It wasn't always fair, but it worked.
The portrayal of Doc by Val Kilmer was simply legendary.
ABSOLUTELY. He sold that role like a boss.
Before Tombstone i couldn't stand Kilmer...his take on Doc Holiday turned him into one of my favorite actors
@ToxicGamer86454you didn't even try with that troll comment.

To be fair Wyatt was a borderline outlaw himself. More of a crook with a badge than a strait lawman. This movie hints that but his character is still white washed a fair bit.
So did Fred White in a way. He didn't die straight away from the gunshot in real life. He lasted a couple of hours. During that time, he gave a written statement saying that he believed that Curly Bill did not intend to shoot him. The gun went off as Bill was trying to hand it over to him.
3:20 "Why 2?" "2 is one, 1 is none" Very few people that carry a gun, carry just one.
Based on real events and people. The ok corral shootout, the Wyatt Earp river scene actually happened that way.
The one scene that is totally fictional is the duel at the end between Doc and Ringo. It's been circumstantially proven that Ringo was on a drunken bender and a day or two after being seen alive was found dead with an apparent self inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Holliday was hundreds of miles away in Colorado for a court appearance. Wyatt later claimed he killed Ringo, but there's no evidence to support it. Having said all that, that scene was just awesome. A fitting end to the feud/rivalry. Too bad the fiction wasn't also the fact.
Good reaction Dasha! Always a pleasure to watch your videos. ❤
For more background on Wyatt. Kevin Costner's WYATT EARP 1994. Wyatt's first wife died. His second was of convenience. They never divorced. Mattie and Wyatt weren't married. He and Josephine were likewise never married. This movie starts in 1879, and both Ike and Doc died in '87. Mattie died in '88. Doc didn't shoot Ringo. Wyatt was a major inspiration for movie cowboys. The OK Corral still amazes me. 10 men 30 seconds 30 shots in a space of a two car garage. Only three deaths. That had to be very stressful for those citizens NOT involved. There are many movies with different interpretations. This was the most accurate. Thanks for watching.
Dozens of actors grew out mustaches for this movie. Sam Elliot walks on set and says “F’n amateurs.”
In real life Wyatt and Maddie were not married, just living together.
Under common law, that means married. His previous wives may have been similar.
Maddie was also his 'best girl' from his days as a pimp. Funny, the movie doesn't mention that detail. I mean, I love the movie, but Wyatt had some flaws that the film ignores.
@@FordWMaverickhe was more a crook with a badge than a genuine lawman. And the feud between the cowboys was closer to a conflict between to criminal groups. But he this makes a better movie and is more accurate than most Hollywood true stories.
It was a common law marriage.
@@williambranch4283 no. That law did not exist then.
Good one, Dasha! I enjoyed rewatching this with you. Thanks for sharing it. 🙂
I lived in Tucson for 20 years, Tombstone is just down I-10, like 40 min away. It's very tourist-y now, but there were some cool things about it, and this film is quite accurate in terms of events, especially Wyatt wading out into the middle of that creek and killing Curly Bill, not a single shot hit him. Old Tucson Studios is where you should visit if you want that real Old West vibe, that's where they filmed parts of this movie, and other westerns like High Chaparral. I have friends who are stuntmen there.
Joanna Pacula played Doc's girlfriend Big Nose Kate
Mattie Blaylock was Wyatt's common-law wife (not an official marriage, per se) who killed herself overdosing on laudanum, an opium tincture, as she was addicted. That's one of the main reasons Wyatt left her.
Marshal Fred White didn't die instantly when Curly Bill accidentally shot him. They were good friends, and he testified at Curly Bill's hearing in Tucson to that effect, that he didn't realize the gun was half-cocked when he gave it to Fred when it discharged and shot him in the groin. He died a few days later. It was when Wyatt pistol-whipped Bill after the shooting that made him turn on the Earps.
Fun bit of local history too: Ike Clanton is forever known as the "Loud-mouthed Coward" of Tombstone because of his propensity to talk mad shit when surrounded by his boys, but VERY quick to plead for his life and run when confronted alone, as you can see.
Here are the latin translations (in order):
Doc: In wine, is truth
Johnny: Bring it on!
Doc: May the Jew apella, not I, believe it (Tell it to someone who cares)
Johnny: Let me teach you a lesson (or youth is the teacher of fools, depending on who you ask)
Doc: May he rest in peace
Does anybody else think it's adorable how much Dasha fidgets when she's watching a movie?
Dasha is adorable, period😍
Dasha, you seemed a little confused about the Latin lines in the bar. It apparently was an escalating argument between Ringo and Doc. Doc, of course, had a classical education and can speak Latin. The movie portrays Ringo as a classical educated man, in real life he was not. But the little exchange illustrated the rising tensions and competition between the Earps and the "Cowboys". Anyway here are the phrases from the bar scene:
1. Doc says: “In vino veritas.”
This means “In wine there is truth.”
2. Ringo replies: “Age quod agis.”
This means “Do what you do.”
3. Doc retorts: “Credat Judaeus Apella, non ego.”
This means “Let the Jew Apella believe it; not I”
4. Ringo then says: “Eventus stultorum magister.”
Which would mean “Experience is the teacher of fools.”
5. Doc Holliday finally says: “In pace requiescat.”
This means “Rest in peace.”
Have a great weekend and keep up the good work with your page on TH-cam.
This is hands down my single favorite movie of all time. Love that you finally got to see it.
Darling Dasha, you have just watched one of the very best Westerns. Not just of the recent past, but ever. Every actor was worthy of an award. The script was top notch. The direction was superb. And the music just right. Even has a Charlton Heston cameo! Dasha, I'm your huckleberry.
Just some constructive criticism, Dasha; the "I'm your huckleberry" scene between Doc and Ringo is legendary in cinema. You should've left in that, and the OK Corral scene in their entireties.
Okay it's time to start following Dasha on Patron. Gotta see full reactions. This is too good of a movie for 30 minutes worth on TH-cam.
Better editing would have helped...
Hey Dasha, please add The Quick and The Dead, to your list of Western movies to watch. 🥺
Also, thanks for your reactions 😁
0:44 Silent B words
The letter B likes to silently follow the letter M at the end of many words, such as in dumb, plumb, crumb, thumb, numb, succumb, lamb, limb, climb, tomb, comb, bomb, and womb. The letter B also seems to also slip in silently before the letter T in words like debt, doubt, and subtle.
Based on real events?
Shootout at the OK Corral was very famous for over one hundred years, but has faded into obscurity. Multiple movies were made on the topic and many TV shows touched on it - there was even a Star Trek episode about it.
This is very loosely based on those events.
Johnny Ringo: I was just foolin' about.
Doc Holliday: I wasn't.
I lived in Tucson a little over a decade. When people would visit us from out of state, we almost always took them to Tombstone.
It's pretty touristy, but still pretty neat. Always loved walking the wood sidewalks in boots.
One of the best possible "first westerns" for friends who have never seen a western before.
FWIW, Wyatt and Maddie never married. She was a prostitute he picked up, but she couldn't straighten out, and she returned to prostitution after they broke up, and before long died of an overdose.
I enjoyed your review as always thank you so much for what you do. Enjoy your evening. Have a nice weekend.😉❣️
Doc's girlfriend was played by Polish actress Joanna Pacula. The woman in real life was a Hungarian immigrant named Mary Katherine Horony, known as "Big Nose Kate", a very interesting character herself in real life. The woman Doc falls in love with was Jewish, Sarah "Sadie" Marcus, family originally from east Prussia.
The Wild West was a fascinating place indeed.
You weren't too far off thinking Wyatt's wife was drinking cough syrup. She was drinking laudanum which is prepared by dissolving extracts of the opium poppy in alcohol and was primarily used as a pain killer and cough suppressant. Also a "lunger" is a derogitory slang term for someone with TB (more commonly known as consumption during the time period in the movie)
That was fun, Dasha. Thank you. 🤗
I grew up where morgan is buried in Colton CA. Im headed for tombstone today. One of a kind town with history and daily OK CORRAL gunfight reenactment
Please do Young guns another western with a host of young stars
I've been waiting for you to react to this film. I go to Tombstone often, you can still see the bullet holes in the ceiling at the bird cage . The cowboys actually never wore red sahses, that's just Hollywood. Wyatt was actually sitting in a chair watching Morgan play pool. A bullet missed him and hit the wall. Great reaction.
15:12 - That guy who plays Ike also plays the main bad guy in the Avatar movie.
Blew my mind when I found that out. He's ripped in Avatar.
Hilarious much of the cast of this too. Has done comic book films.
Kurt Russel who plays Wyatt played Ego in Guardians of the galaxy.
Michael roller who plays mcmasters played Yondu in the guardian's of the galaxy films.
Sam Elliot who played Virgil Warp played General road I. The Hulk.
Billy Zane who plays the actor played the classic comic character the Phantom.
Powers booth who plays curly Bill was a council member that they reported to in the MCU.
Val Kilmer played Barman in Barman forever.
The actress voicing Josephine was the voice actress for all is lane in the DC animated universe for several year.
Kate WAS a good woman. She knew doc was dying- nothing could change that... But he could have a say in HOW he died. Doc didn't want to die in bed- he wanted to die living the big life. Kate was giving him what he wanted. Do you think it's easy helping your man commit suicide?
I saw Doc Holliday's grave in Glenn Springs, Colorado. I accidently found Wyatt and Josephine's first house, in Vidal, California. This is my favorite American story. Growing up, it was always about the gunfight at OK corral. But the entire story is soo much better.
Thanks for reacting to this movie. One of my favorite western/action movies.
Laudanum was a common "cure-all" of that time, and was especially common among women. It was opium mixed with alcohol (usually whiskey). Opium is an opioid, and is essentially a less refined version of heroin, morphine, oxycontin, or fentanyl (they are all opioids, and come from the poppy flower). You also see several characters smoking opium in the Chinese-operated opium dens (they're smoking something similar to a hookah pipe). In the 1700s, the British were making a ton of money importing opium from the area of modern Afghanistan and Pakistan into China (very much against China's wishes, but the British has the power at the time), and got much of urban Chinese addicted to opium, and so later, in the mid 1800s when this movie is set, it was almost always the Chinese who ran opium dens. At the time, there were no anti-drug laws, and these substances were not well understood. Anyone could "create" their own potions, elixirs, and other fake concoctions and sell them to whoever would buy them, and those people usually didn't care much about side effects or long-term outcomes. Because laudanum was such a commonly used "medication", especially among women (for headaches and menstrual pain, among other things), many women at the time were addicted to it, and ODs (overdoses) were not uncommon. ODs were also common among opium smokers, as was crime, because people high on opium might have hallucinations and react violently to them, much as we see Curly Bill do.
Of course, there was also no shortage of whiskey, and most of the time the Cowboy gang was committing crimes, they were drunk. Again, the only restriction on booze at the time was being able to afford it, and many people spent most of their lives drunk.
Your history is pretty accurate, but the dates are wrong. The British Raj (India) transported opium to China in the 19th (not the 18th) century, and this movie took place in the 1880's not the "mid 19th century".
A classic! Doc and Wyatt's friendship was great! A recommendation for your western movie polls.. Open Range. Oh and did you see McMasters was younger Michael Rooker, you know best as Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy
Also awesome fact Wyatt was never shot in real life and the film even when he killed the leader of the Cowboys the bullets only went trough the coat not him it scared the gang so much that the dying member that crawled away supposedly stated Wyatt was the Horseman of death or something like that that is why it is mentioned a lot in the film.
Such a quality movie, and so rewatchable. And very quotable... Love it Dash...
Highly dramatized but based on real characters and events
The graveyard is still there today
Hi Dasha. I loved your reaction to Tombstone.
Awesome reaction Dasha! ❤
Hello Dasha. " Laudanum is an alcoholic tincture of opium, a 10 percent solution of opium powder dissolved in high-proof distilled spirits. ".
In Tombstone, Arizona is GF Spangenberg Gun Shop. The store that the Earp Brothers or anyone needing ammunition or firearms made their purchase. Inside the store in the center is a enclosed pedestal, that is about 4 feet tall. Inside this pedestal is the pair of black leather boots that have the Aces sewn onto the shin of the boots. It is an excellent store to visit, the firearms are reasonably priced. " Hey! "
You’re the best Dasha! 🙂💯
Unforgiven (1992)
Greetings Dasha. Always love your reactions. Since you enjoyed "Tombstone", I would recommend watching the HBO series "Deadwood". It is set during the same period of American history, with a superb cast.
Dasha, you asked why the cowboys don't give up once their leader was gone. Some of them want to be the new leader, and some others just join other gangs. So Wyatt just wanted to kill all the gangsters. Great reaction as always😊 BTW are you in Toronto? There is a big Russian community here.
2:08 "The pale horse in the Bible."
DASHA: "We dont have in Russia. Leave horse alone!" 😂😂😂
I have not seen or hear from you in a,long time. I was away for a long time with my work. Great to see your review
Прывет! Вот это старьё ты откопала!)🤔🤔
This is my favorite movie of all time and you are my favorite reactor of all time. I can not believe my two favorite things are finally coming together.
BTW, this was a true story, and of all the movies about the OK Corral shootout and Wyatt Earp, this is probably the most accurate, though it did take some liberties at some times. To Americans, this story is like Homer's Odyssey, because the myths around Wyatt Earp and his Posse are a big part of our cultural mythology.

Oh I love this muted color scheme you have now. So relaxing. 😎
7:57 "Maybe you should see a doctor."
I don't know. It's the 1880s. I don't think any of the doctors available could do a whole lot _for_ her.
A really great western you might enjoy is Dances With Wolves.
I live near Tombstone. They had a dog parade two weekends ago when I was there. Val Kilmer is great in his role, as others already noted.
You will get to 100K, no problem.
This is part of my top 5 favorite movies of all time. Along with Gettysburg, Shawshank Redemption, Blues Brothers, and Princess Bride.
Such a classic film! Perfectly cast!
Love the hair. Dasha is this your first western? Starting at the top.
In case you don't know what laudanum is, it was a "medicine" that was basically opium.
Appreciate Doc more
Keep up the great work Dasha!
Best. Western. Ever.
Best cast ever ?
I'm your Hucleberry...
In the frontier west in America, we had laws, but we did not have lawmen. That job was left to those who would not permit crimes. It wasn't always fair, but it worked.
