They were both professional gamblers and heavy drinkers, who were prone to gunplay. In fact, Tyler and Holliday were similar in many regards. In the case of Holliday, Tyler would have two separate occasions to tempt fate, and his second meeting with Doc in Leadville was pivotal in Holliday’s story. What makes Tyler’s story more interesting and, at times, compelling is the fact that fate saw him lock horns with two of the West’s most iconic figures – “Doc” Holliday and Wyatt Earp. Like many of his gambling contemporaries, he dealt faro in towns such as Sacramento, San Francisco, Pioche, Salt Lake City, Eureka, Virginia City, Tombstone, Leadville and Spokane Falls.

Tyler was not unusual in that he frequented some major cities and several of the West’s most famous mining boomtowns. His chosen profession was popular in the American West during the period following the Civil War, and was mostly viewed as a semi-legitimate, albeit dangerous, calling. J ohnny Tyler was a gambler, in every sense of the word. His reckless play gave him a reputation for ‘nerve,’ and he was generally considered as a gunfighter of the most violent type.”

His winnings often ran far into the thousands. Though his business was dealing faro, he frequently played against the bank himself, and when he did, he played high. He had piercing black eyes and a long black mustache. It just wasn't very much fun, and Tombstone was the better movie.“ Tyler was a nice looking fellow of the Jack Oakhurst type. Funny thing is that Wyatt Earp that came out near the same time was closer to the actual history of the time, and had an amazing cast in itself - Kevin Costner, Dennis Quaid, Gene Hackman, Jim Caviezel, Mark Harmon, Michael Madsen, Bill Pullman, Tom Sizemore, Adam Baldwin, Tea Leoni, Catherine O'Hara. Perhaps the most fun of all the Westerns.Īnd of course Tombstone another cinematic tour de force.

The original Magnificent Seven for sheer star power and charisma - Yul Brenner, Steve McQueen, James Coburn, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, Eli Wallach, all at the absolute top of their game.īutch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - best buddy outlaw movie ever. Unforgiven IMO is a better movie, but The Gunfighter is very, very good and huge props for what it did at the height of the power of the western. My hidden gem is The Gunfighter - it deconstructed the western genre in much the same way as Unforgiven, but did so in 1950 with Gregory Peck and Karl Malden. Kilmer and Biehn at the pinnacle of talent and just letting it all show, IMHO.Īnother vote for Unforgiven, but there are tons of good ones, they defined movies for 30 years. Subtlety, fluidity, emotion, crushing tension, resignation. His dream of a blaze of glory gone and now a slow slide into a rotten end his only road. ‘You were no daisy at all’ in utter disappointment. Doc screams COME ON JOHNNY! COME ON! Hands apart….the willing target and his goal! ‘Alright Lunger’ĭoc stands calm, patient…Penitent…he is even somewhat joyful as he tells Johnny to ‘say when’ Finally, the fear drives him to do it but you can see it in his eyes he is freaking out behind the bravado. Johnny is all over the place, he tries to weasel out of it and Doc gives him no chance. Doc’s demeanor is solemn…he is welcoming this fight. Ringo is dangerous, but Doc Holliday without any fear of dying is exquisitely dangerous.Įdit: As demonstration, watch the last scene in the final showdown between the two.

Ringo beyond all his bluster and bullshit, still wants to live. He wants the death, but he has to earn it.Īnd that scares the shit outta Johnny Ringo. He just wants someone to take him out and be the better fighter. He knows he is already a walking corpse and he wants a gunman’s death. The real difference between Doc and everyone else is Doc has no fear of death. In fact, he hopes he lives up to the hype.

He is full tilt and unafraid of being Ringo and using his volatile nature to strike fear in his opponents (and victims).Īnd it’s not because he doesn’t fear Ringo. Watch every encounter with them and you will see Doc just pressing buttons.Īnd the problem is Ringo can’t do shit because Doc has one thing that no other person Ringo has faced has.

I love it because Doc needles the shit out of Ringo every chance he can get. Latest Discussions The Super Mario Bros Movie Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves John Wick: Chapter 4 Renfield Keanu Reeves Tobey Maguire
