That is my feeling. You can go back to films like <em>Shane<\/em>. That, to me, is a great Western. Maybe things like <em>The Outlaw Josey Wales<\/em>, and a few others. But for me, <em>Unforgiven<\/em> is the greatest film that was ever made. Our film was more pop oriented.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>Tombstone<\/em> was such a good movie because it had a great script by Kevin Jarre. It had great characters. And it had great actors to play them. Kurt was great. I don&#8217;t think Val has been better in any other movie. It&#8217;s his greatest performance. You have Sam Elliott, you have Bill Paxton, you have Powers Boothe, you have Thomas Haden Church. You&#8217;ve got Jason Priestley and Billy Zane. Billy Bob Thornton and Frank Stallone. Everywhere you look, there is a new face that pops up. They are a celebrity, but they fit into this world.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>I give <span class=\"person\">Kurt Russell<\/span> a lot of credit for managing everybody&#8217;s egos. And making the right decisions on what needed to be cut and what didn&#8217;t need to be cut.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>interview<\/strong> covers a lot more ground including why the <strong>original director<\/strong> was <strong>fired<\/strong>, lost <em><strong>Tombstone<\/strong><\/em> footage, and why <strong>Biehn<\/strong> won&#8217;t work with <strong>Bill Paxton<\/strong> on a certain project.\u00a0 You can read the full interview <del><strong>right here<\/strong><\/del>.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Movieweb recently posted a nice little interview with Michael Biehn who spoke about the making of Tombstone.\u00a0 Biehn provides a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-movies","comments-off"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4368"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4368\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29173,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4368\/revisions\/29173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
