Tombstone (1993): Gunfights, Mustaches, and the Cable TV Classic That Won the West
May 05, 2025 · 128 min

This week on Rewind or Die, we face the vengeance, velvet, and Val of Tombstone (1993) — a Western that somehow features 40% coughing and still ends up being 100% cool.

We dig into the chaos behind the scenes (ghost directors, script cuts, Kurt Russell becoming the captain now), the wild box office ride, and how Tombstone absolutely outgunned Wyatt Earp in the great gunfight of dad-approved cinema. We also mourn the complete lack of Tombstone merchandise, pitch an unhinged Saturday morning cartoon version of the film, and spiral into a candy-fueled flashback none of us were prepared for.
