A major plot point of the movie would be the moment that Doc Holliday, played by Val Kilmer, shot Johnny Ringo, played by Michael Biehn. Fans got upset about it, but here was what Biehn had to say about it: “I wanted him to shoot me! Well, I always thought Johnny Ringo had a little bit of a ‘[death] by police’ mentality. There’s a part in that movie, which I think is one of my greatest moments on film, and I don’t sit around and look for it, but whenever I see it, I always think, ‘Yeah, that’s what I was trying to do, and that’s what I got.”
