The Main Event

This pic is part of the poster for "The Main Event" -- the Gunfight at the OK Corral© These four characters are sorta the trademark of Tombstone. Here's the actual poster from the movie Tombstone.

Can you name the characters, left to right??.

Doc Holliday(Val Kilmer), Virgil Earp(Sam Elliot), Wyatt Earp(Kurt Russell), Morgan Earp(Bill Paxton)

Anomalies. Virgil is carrying a shotgun. In reality (and in the movie) he gave his shotgun to Doc, and took Doc's cane, which he carried down to the site of the battle. Wyatt looks a lot taller in this picture. Actually, Sam Elliot is about the same height that Virgil was (6"2) and Kurt Russell (5'9") is a lot short than Wyatt was (6 ft even)

The coats are long, with deep pockets, and the lawmen carried their sideguns in a long pocket. Doc wore two capes; Virg and Morg wore frock coats. Wyatt, in the picture, is wearing a topcoat or duster. Tombstone, in October, is chilly, so these clothes are quite appropriate.
