Why did the director kill of poor James Earp? as far as i can tell he was one of the only good brothers. I don't understand why a director changes history in order to make a story work. The director apparently only want to have a classic western then an actually historical story. The Clanton's are immediately made the villains and the Earp's are the righteous heroes.-- Matt DeMarr | Why did the director kill of poor James Earp? as far as i can tell he was one of the only good brothers.

Wheres Wyatt's pistol whipping. - Jonathan Bell | ||
