I've always enjoyed this movie on a pulpy, B-movie level -- especially Val Kilmer's performance which is easily a career highlight as he steals every scene he's in. I also enjoy all the character actors running around in this movie: Powers Boothe (always liked him, so cool to see him pop up in Sin City), Michael Biehn, Stephen Lang, Sam Elliott, etc.
I ran across an interesting bit about the movie on the Hollywood Elsewhere site. Apparently, Kurt Russell did an interview with True West magazine and claims that he ghost-directed the movie!
Here's the Elsewhere blurb.
And here's (a pdf of) the actual interview.

Agreed, and I can't stand him, normally.Fletch F. Fletch wrote:especially Val Kilmer's performance which is easily a career highlight as he steals every scene he's in.
I love Wyatt Earp films. I would honestly put this alongside, or at least somewhere in the vicinity of, My Darling Clementine, Gunfight at the OK Corral and Hour of the Gun.
