This has probably been said before, but here it is. I was watching Tombstone this afternoon and never realized that not only did Kurt Russel do a better job of playing Wyatt than Kevin Costner, IMO but Russell also looks like the real Wyatt Earp too.

Left is the real Wyatt Earp and right is Kurt Russel as Wyatt Earp. Look at the similarities in both men. The Nose. The ear. The chin. which is a little longer on Russel but that's because Earp has his mouth closed and Russell's is open. It's almost like they are related in some way, although I doubt they are.

I own and enjoy both films.

To me, Tombstone was good for entertainment value whereas Wyatt Earp was a much more in-depth film. Costner's Earp seemed more real.
