The same set was used in APPALOOSA, a film I quite enjoyed. It's part of Tom Ford's ranch these days.Richard--W said:As an aside, did you know the town-set Kasdan built in New Mexico for SILVERADO also served as the main location for WYATT EARP ? Except he doubled the size of it. Several films including LONESOME DOVE got to use it before Warner Brothers paid the ranch owner to burn it down on camera for their WILD WEST WEST remake. Only two buildings were left standing.
The score is so rousing it will make you want to start breaking up the furniture. I've been meaning to pick up the special edition 2-disc soundtrack released by Intrada:Parker Clack said:Loved the film.
Loved the film score.
Loved the story.
Loved the cinematography
Loved the cast.
I remember the first time I saw it at the theater and how much I looked forward to seeing it in my home one day.
Thanks to the great care that Sony has done with this Blu-ray disc I can say that I finally have in my home what I remember seeing and hearing in the theater.

I like both films, but I think that Val Kilmer was a more entertaining Doc Holiday than Dennis Quaid. He stole every scene he was in, and in general at least for me, made the film more entertaining and memorable. Wyatt Earp, I believe was much more true to the actual details and story, but Tombstone had the better supporting cast and moved at a better pace.Robert Crawford said:Tombstone being released six months earlier definitely hurt the box office appeal for Wyatt Earp. However, I would say that the second film was not only better made, but more historically accurate even though some would say it was less entertaining than Tombstone.
