On top of how efficientTombstone’s introduction to Wyatt is, the scene is also just fun to watch.

Kurt Russell is instantly magnetic as Wyatt, and even just watching him walk off the train is entertaining.

The intro toTombstonereally has it all.

After seemingly deflecting bullets, Wyatt simply shoots the leader of the Cowboys dead.

It’s an expertly written interaction, and both Russell and Thornton put the script into practice flawlessly.

If Russell had done more theatrical waterworks, it would have ruined the scene.

Wyatt’s wailing feels real because Kurt Russell made it feel real.

Morgan’s death is also, arguably, one of the most important moments inTombstone.

Russell delivered a few lines of dialogue so impeccably that it was almost as climactic as any shootout.
