Tombstonewas among the most popular westerns of the 1990s, and helped to spark a minor resurgence for a genre that hadn’t been that successful since the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Despite the large fanbase that Tombstone still has, Holliday’s iconic line, “I’m your huckleberry,” is often misinterpreted as a threat.
