You’ve Been Staring at One of the Most Accurate Parts of 'Tombstone' the Whole Time — and You Probably Missed It

Whenever the 1993 Western movie Tombstoneis mentioned, many iconic moments come to mind. Among them are the late Val Kilmer’s ghostly Doc Holliday, Kurt Russell’s fiery and fierce Wyatt Earp, and the best impression of the violent dust-up at the O.K. Corral. They may not be the most accurate depictions of the real-life events they are based on, but they sure are the most believable and the closest we’ve seen yet to the myth at the center of the film's plot. Tombstone also scores another one in a historically accurate touch that is neither in its gunfights nor dialogue. It’s an accurate detail that is right under its actors’ noses — literally. We know the film for its grit and authenticity, but within that legacy, there is another natural and less discussed fact. That is that Tombstone’s mustaches are the real deal.
