#023 - Tombstone vs. Wyatt Earp: How Did These Movies Come Out 6 Months Apart?
Manage episode 448907402 series 3552892
It happens every once in a while — two movies with nearly the same subject matter are release within months of each other. One is well received and becomes a big hit, and the other one is largely unsuccessful and forgotten. And it's not always the first movie to come out that wins. Dave and Tom take a look at the beloved '90s western Tombstone (1993) that tells the classic story about Wyatt Earp and his brother facing off against the Clanton and McLaury brothers at the "Gunfight at the OK Coral," and surrounding events. Oh and it has one of the greatest cast ensembles ever. Sixth months later, Kevin Costner helmed his version of basically the same story, with a couple hours tacked onto the front of it. His film, Wyatt Earp (1994) couldn't get out of Tombstone's shadow, but looking back, which movie is actually better?
