46 Best Tombstone Quotes for Fans of Westerns

Anyone who loves the 1993 Western, Tombstone, knows that it’s one of the most quotable Westerns ever made. Tombstone quotes stick with us for a number of reasons. The memorable characters, the actors who deliver these witty lines, and the absurdity of the “Old West” all factor in as reasons these delightful quotes get lodged in our brains. Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliot, and Bill Paxton really put in the work to make their characters feel both believable and also bigger than life.

We wanted to discover the very best Tombstone quotes to share with you and so we looked to both the movie and its script which was penned by Kevin Jarre. What struck us most about the dialogue in this film is that, for a movie that’s set in the 1880s, the language feels surprisingly timeless and fresh, even by today’s standards, nearly 30 years after the film’s release. “Justice is coming!” Let’s take a look at some of the best Tombstone quotes!
