I love the movie. But as history the timing is way off. The timing of the Kevin Costner Wyatt Earp isn't right either.
Go read the Wyatt Earp entry on wikipedia (unless you have a better source). It's very interesting.
Loved Kilmer as Doc. Turns out that I really like Dennis Quaid as Doc as well. Doc's just an interesting guy.
I dunno if I'd go so far as to say Wyatt did what he thought was right, I'd prefer to say that he follows his own code.
This past summer, on the way back from frostdancer's family reunion, we actually went to the town of Tombstone. There's a lovely artist's rendering of the Gunfight in the (former) county courthouse museum. The actual Gunfight was ~30 seconds. And Wyatt shot first.
In Tombstone, Kate's never called Big Nose Kate, is she? She is in Wyatt Earp. And she was in real life.
