Authenticity Lost by a Shotgun Blast

Rating: Null/10 (5 April 1999)

As I understand it, great care was used in getting every detail as authentic as possible. Even the firearms were from the proper time frame. With this in mind, did I miss something during the shoot out scene at the OK Corral? I've re-run the tape countless times only to wonder how Doc Holiday gets off three shots from a double barrel shotgun without reloading. And his six-shooters have quite a few more bullets than one might figure. I must admit that I have dismissed these minor detail errors because I really enjoy this movie. I own the tape and watch it several times a month. Just can't get enough of the "old west".
