Where was Tombstone? Explanation of each major site

Court Russell 1993 movie “Tombstone” is one of the most beloved Westerners of all ages Thanks to its amazing crew and extension, some really unforgettable moments, tons of quoted lines. The film is a semi -historical narration on the battle of notorious firearms in OK Corral and the events that led to this, after the Axis of Lawath Wyatt Earp (Russssell), his brothers, and his friend Doc Holleday (Val Kilmer) in their matters with cold, destroyed cows, as led by Curly Bill (Powers (Powers (Powers (Powers (Powers) Booth). that it A fairly historical accuracyAlthough it definitely sacrificed the originality of a little magic of John Ford. But what about the filming sites? Did he circulate in the true grave, Arizona for Hollywood Hills?

Fortunately, the answer is no, and the wonderful desert fittings in “Tombstone” are all really in Arizona … and if not necessarily in or about Tombstone itself. After all, the city changed a little in the century or so, which has passed since the peak of the ear when the film entered the production. So, instead of filming in Tombstone, the movie “Tombstone” was filmed in two local film farms and one of the Arizona national forests, making it a visual authentic even when the story sometimes deviates through it.

Instead of trying to make the witnesses of the most contemporary grave seem to be the same as the previous one, the production team in the film has rebuilt some of the most famous institutions in the city and tried to re -create the witness of the grave in the early eighties in the Mescal movie in Benson, Arizona. The western town was built in Mescal Movie Set for the first time in 1968 and was modified over the years Various Western movies and shows, including “Little House on the Prairie”, “ “Outside the law, Jose Wales”, “Gunsmoke”, and “Bonanza”.

Although it caused the production budget to be balloon during Verso shot exchanging, Rebuilding a section of Tombstone in Mescal paid a lot of time. Tombstone Town’s features such as Can Can, Grand Hotel, The Oriental Saloon, CS Fly, as well as Allen Street and The Legendary OK Corral. About 60 % of “Tombstone” was filmed in Mescal, which is still a movie working with shows and films there every year. Fans who want to see the groups for themselves can do this, as Mescal offers historical films whenever the collection is not closed for shooting. (The schedule is available on Website))

When “Tombstone” was photographed, Mescal was part of the big old Tucson studios outside Tukeson, Arizona. Thus, for some of the most complex scenes, production has moved to the old Toxon. Fortunately, there were structural elements of ancient Toxon, such as a rail (short) (short) for train cars and ancient Spanish -style mission, which was perfect for photographing some big scenes in “Tombstone” (including all Earp family members who reach Tucson by train and Mexican wedding wiping with beef in the mission).

Unfortunately, the fire of most of the “Tombstone” group was destroyed in Old Tucson Studios. However, some have been rebuilt, while the entire western park It was later established on the site, allowing guests to visit, watch cowboy offers, and do Desert Old West tours. Although Mescal has original collections of the remaining film, fans who want to reactivate their favorite moments of “Tombstone” may still be in Old Tucson (although I am sure that the garden staff have really tired of hearing “I am from you”).

Speaking about Huckleberries, the Great Climate Doc Holledy was photographed with Johnny (Michael Biehn) in Babacomari Ranch in Elgin, Arizona. Farm scenes were filmed with Harry Hker (Charlton Histon) as well, as the true desert health has made these dramatic moments. And “and” Kilmer got the scene really chewing To get a healthy part of his screen time, perhaps the great site for Ringo’s death probably helped him to make the most of it.

There were other scenes filmed on the farm that lost Amid a change in the director during filming, Hiller George B. Cosmatos shots of cowboy archeology around the farm. Whether it’s, the parts that have remained perfectly suited in the comprehensive picture. The footage taken in Babacomari is particularly beautiful, and this is perhaps the reason why the site is currently using Wedding and events. However, there were a few scenes in the movie that was filmed elsewhere that proved more amazing.

For some wild nature scenes in “Tombstone”, the film crew needed to reach the lands that they really did not touch. Fortunately, there was no better place than the Coronado National Forest, which has Rolling Hills and wide valleys. Scenes were filmed with cowboy hiding in the desert in the Sabino Canyon, while romantic scenes included Wyatt and Josephine (Dana Delany) on the back of horse on Mount Limon, North Toxon. With such a wonderful scene to play in it, it is not really wonder that Russell One of the film’s horses was kidnapped one day to get Farah. Who does not want to feel the wind in your hair and sun on your face from the top of a horse in some of the lush cowboy country?

While none of “Tombstone” was truly shot in Tombstone or the surrounding area, at least two members of the actors team got a chance to visit when they went to give each other Some of the very appropriate wrapping gifts. In a step that matches their characters, Russell and Kilmer made each other slightly talented, although Russell overlooks the grave of the grave while Kilmer’s is a dangerous conspiracy in her famous cemetery. It is clear from watching “Tombstone” that they understood the mission, but it is clear that they truly Understand the task.
