Of course...it was made in Hollywood. This is called "continuity".

AnswerAgreed, especially with the portrayal of Doc Holliday, who was in real life very quick-tempered and more likely to start a fight than to stop one, in contrast to the smooth and fatalistic Doc in the movie. Also, the movie has Doc is in Tombstone after winning big at Poker, and he ridicules the game of faro. I read that in real life Doc had lost big on Faro and he went to Tombstone in an attempt to recoup his losings. Before being diagnosed with Tuberculosis, Holliday was studying to be a dentist, and he became a gambler when he realized that he was dying. Nothing is mentioned of it in the movie, as being a dentist would not have been "cool" enough for such a deadly gunsinger.

BTW, I think it's called "artistic license" in Hollywood, and "continuity" is something else. Borrowing an idea that worked before is called "inspiration."
