Though the maiming of Virgil Earp and the murder of the youngest Earp sibling Morgan was shown in the film as happening on the same night after the gunfight at the OK Corral--10/25/1881--in real life the ambush on Virgil and Morgan's murder each happened separately. Virgil was crippled a couple of months later after the gun battle in an ambush one night, in late December 1881. Morgan was murdered about 2-1/2 months later, in March of 1882, as he was playing pool in a local saloon called Campell & Hatch's. As he lay mortally wounded after being shot in the back, his last words were, "This is the last game of pool I'll ever play."
