The film Kurt Russell from 1993 "Tomb" is one of the most beloved Wests of all time Thanks to its incredible and expansive team, some truly memorable moments and tons quoted lines. The film is a semi-historical report on the infamous shootout in the UK Coral and the events leading to it, following legislator Wyatt Erp (Russell), his brothers and his friend Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer) in their battles with cold bleeding cowboys. That is Something historically correctAlthough it definitely sacrifices the authenticity of a little Johnon Ford -style film. But what about film shooting locations? Was it traded in the real tombstone, Arizona for Hollywood hills?

Fortunately, the answer is no, and the beautiful desert places in the "tomb" are really in Arizona ... Although they do not have to be in or exactly around the tombstone itself. After all, the city has changed a little in the century or so as it has passed from ERP's most famous day when the film has produced. So, instead of filming right in the tomb, the movie "Tomb" was filmed on several local film ransom and one of the national forests in Arizona, maintaining it visually authentic even when the story occasionally took place off the road.

Instead of trying to make a contemporary tombstone like the past I, the film's production team re-built some of the more famous institutions in the city and try to recreate the tombstone of the early 1880s in the Meskal film, set up in Benson, Arizona. The western city of Muskal was first built in 1968 and changed over the years for Different Western films and shows, including "Little House of Prairi", "External Oseosi Wales", "Gunsmoke" and "Bonase".

Although causing the production budget to be balloon during already chaotic shoots, Reconstruction of part of the tombstone in Meskal has paid off for a great time. Released sights in the city, such as the Khan Khan Restaurant, the Grand Hotel, the Oriental Salon and CS Fley, were reproduced along the Allen Street and the legendary OK coral. About 60% of the "tombstone" was filmed in Meskal, which is still a working film set with shows and films shot there every year. Fans who want to see sets for themselves can do so, as Muskal offers historic film tours whenever the set is not closed for filming. (The schedule is available on his Web site.)

When filming the "tomb", Muskal was part of the larger old study of Tucson, outside Tucson, Arizona. Hence, for some of the more complicated scenes, production moved to Old Tucson. As he was lucky, there were structural elements of Old Tucson, as a (fairly short) train train car and an old Spanish -style mission, which were perfect for shooting some of the big scenes in the "tomb" (including family members, all who arrived in Tuccani on Tuccan.

Unfortunately, the fire destroyed most of the "tombstone" in the Old Tucson study. However, some are built while full west Theme park It was later founded at the site, allowing guests to visit them, see cowboy shows and take tours on the desert of Old West. While Mescal has more original kits than the remaining film, fans who want to re -activate their favorite "tombstone" can still do so at Old Tucson (though I'm sure the park staff is really sick of listening to "I'm your Hucklebery").

Speaking of Hucklebury, the big climate shootout of Doc Holiday with Nyoni Ringo (Michael Bin) was filmed at the Babacomar ranch in Elgin, Arizona. The scenes of the ranch with Harry Huker (Charlton Heston) were also filmed, lending the true authenticity of the desert to these dramatic moments. And while Kilmer had to really chew the scenery For a healthy piece of screen time, the wonderful location for the big shootout and Ringo's death has probably helped him make the most of it.

There were other scenes recorded on the ranch that were lost In the middle of a change in the director during the recording, As an incoming steering wheel George P. Kosmatos cut shots of cowboy accessories that roll around the ranch. However, the parts that remain perfect in the overall image. Shootings shot in Babacomari are particularly beautiful, which is probably the reason why the location is currently used for Weddings and events. However, there were several scenes in the movie footage elsewhere that proved to be as stunning.

For some of the more beautiful scenes of nature in "Tomb", the film crew needed access to a truly untouched country. Fortunately, there was no better than the national forest of Coronado, which has both rolling hills and huge canyons. The scenes with the cowboys hidden in the desert canyons were shot in the Sabino Canyon, while the romantic scenes showing Wyatt and Josephosephine (Dana Delani) on horses were filmed on Mount Lemmon, only north of Tucson. With such a beautiful sight to play, it's really no wonder Russell kidnapped one of the horses of the movie one day for joy. Who wouldn't want to feel the wind in your hair and sun on the top of the horse in one of the highest cowboy land around?

While none of the "tombstone" was shot in tombstones or the surrounding area, at least two members of the cast got a chance to visit them when they tried to give each other Some very appropriate gifts for wrapping. In the move that corresponds to their characters, Russell and Kilmer every gifted little country, though Russell sees the tombstone, while Kilmer is a heavy conspiracy at his famous cemetery. It is obvious from looking at the "tomb" that they understood the task, but clearly, they Really They understood the task.
