Like Mike, I did not like how the shootout at the OK Corral or should I say the shootout at the vacant lot was portrayed. Virgil and Billy Clanton were supposed to be there but Virgil was killed while leaving the Clanton’s house and Billy was killed riding into home. Therefore, if these people were supposed to be there, then the scene at the Clanton's home never happened. I did like how the characters hid and ran around buildings instead of just attempting to kill each other in the middle of the street but as we learned in class, thirty shots were fired in a matter of about 20 seconds and I don’t think the Earp’s hit the magic number. -afrisk | Like Mike, I did not like how the shootout at the OK Corral or should I say the shootout at the vacant lot was portrayed.

| + | This movie shows stereotype of the wild west. There are the good guys vs. the bad guys. Also, they show a lot of gambling and prostitution. The town looks like a very typical west town even with signs that have the wild west font...like the jail sign. It kind of reminded me of an amusement park. I did not like how a lot of this was very inaccurate according to the people and how they were actually like in real life. -- Justine R. | ||
