About This Quiz
Every Western film needs some good guys, a couple of bad guys, and some great gunfights. That's exactly what you'll find in the classic Tombstone! The golden age of American Western films had long past when Tombstone was released in 1993, but that doesn't mean this film doesn't deserve a place among the greats in this genre. It clearly carries on the Western tradition well, with a brutal story of revenge and one of the most sarcastic side-kicks in cinema history. Plus, it has some of the best quotes you'll find in any movie.Â
How well do you know these quotes from Tombstone, though? The film follows Wyatt Earp as he heads to Tombstone, Arizona with his brothers and Doc Holliday, a witty gunslinger with tuberculosis. Do you remember how funny Holliday could be or how intimidating Earp was?Â
