When Keach tells Yulin, "I wanna leave something behind, Wyatt," he's doing it as a clenched-teeth impression of Kirk Douglas, who played Doc in "Gunfight at the OK Corral."
Stacy Keach portrays famous western figure Doc Holliday in this film. Less than a decade later, he would portray another legendary western figure, Frank James, in The Long Riders.
The film takes place in 1881.
The character of "The Kid" (Denver John Collins) is based on the actual Billy Claiborne, a mineworker and "self-described gunfighter" in the Tombstone area. He was friendly with the Clanton and McLaury families but not related to them. After the death of the notorious William Bonney, alias "Billy the Kid," in July 1881, Claiborne insisted on be called "Billy the Kid." About three weeks before the OK Corral gunfight, Claiborne shot and killed a man named James Hickey in a saloon in nearby Charleston, Ariz. Claiborne was acquitted of a murder charge in 1882 on the grounds of self-defense. He was present at the famous gunfight on Oct. 26, 1881, but, depending on the source, either ran from the scene or else was pulled aside to safety by Sheriff Johnny Behan before the shooting started. About 13 months later, a drunken Claiborne ran afoul of another gunfighter, Frank "Buckskin" Leslie, at a Tombstone saloon. Leslie shot Claiborne, who died a few hours later, age about 22 years. Leslie also pleaded self-defense and was acquitted in Claiborne's death.
"Wyatt Earp: They're bad people, John. Doc Holliday: Well, if it weren't for bad people, what would you do for a living, Marshal? Tell me about Tombstone. I mean, more than what you said in the letter. Wyatt Earp: It's wide open. The sheriff here, Johnny Behan, doesn't know how to organize a town, so I'm going to run against him in the election. The sheriff has got all the power here. The marshal has got a badge and he's got some territory, but he's got no jurisdiction in the town. Gambling is heavy. There's a lot of money about town. It's wide open. So you organize the gambling - start right here. I run the law, you run the gambling. We'll both end up rich. Very rich! Doc Holliday: We sound like bad people, Wyatt. Wyatt Earp: We are, John."
"Clum, Editor Tombstone Epitaph: You're not going to solve anything with a gun. Wyatt Earp: You'd be surprised the things you can solve with a gun."
