I tell you these are for Ethan---

Enough of the good guys ---

Here's one of Heston that I like

By popular demand, er, at least by a select few, here's some more

Let me know if anyone wants more.

This seems to be a popular favorite, so here's a few images.

Watched the extended version on dvd again. There's a restored scene right after Curly Bill tells Ike and Stillwell to follow the Earps and finish them off. It's between Doc and Kate as Doc saddles up to go with the Earps. Doc tells Kate that she's losing her meal ticket and says "Have you no kind word to say before I ride away"?
That, as I finally realized, is a lyric from the song in "Gunfight at the OK Corral".

We deal in lead, friend.

Right you are. They also filmed McMasters getting a message that Ringo wanted to talk to him, his reasons for walking into the trap, and that the Cowboys roped him and dragged him through a fire, causing the mangled body that is briefly glimpsed.
Also filmed but deleted are scenes of Billy Clanton stealing Wyatt's racehorse, Wyatt riding alone to retrieve it and meeting Hooker (Heston) for the first time; meeting McMasters who tells him that the Cowboys are brothers to the bone; talking with Curly Bill who feels bad about shooting Fred White and allows Wyatt to take his horse and not get stomped by the gang;
the Cowboys bonfire wake after the O.K. Corral and Curly Bill's orders to wait for revenge; Billy Breakenridge tracking and killing the Cowboys who had killed Mr. Fabian; Wyatt saluting him for doing so; Ringo and Ike confronting Hooker after Wyatt leaves Doc; and many, many more.
The whole montage of Wyatt's posse wiping out the Cowboys was much longer and are actually individual scenes that were just cobbled together. For example, the shot of Wyatt on foot, walking forward and shooting is really just a snippet from a scene where they find Florentino and shoot him off his horse. Wyatt dismounts and Florention begs that he didn't kill Morgan and that he was only paid to watch. Wyatt loses it and shoots him to pieces.
I've seen photos from these scenes so I know they were filmed. The shooting script also includes them.

Did anyone else pick up that Duke stalwart Don Collier was the faro player who bucked the tiger?
There was an article in a Wild West magazine with Kurt Russell who is contemplating restoring Tombstone to it's original running time. He has all the original footage in his garage, of all places, and is toying with making it into a kind of mini series.
