In the 1993 classic western, actor Michael Biehn, as Johnny Ringo, elaborately twirls his pistol during a barroom showdown with Val Kilmer, as Doc Holliday.
Eric Stayton attempted the same stunt Saturday night at his home in Chaires, where about a dozen friends and relatives were celebrating the birthdays of his sister, 39-year-old Renee Chaires, and her 23-year-old daughter, reported the Tallahassee Democrat.
Chaires, a hair stylist who would have turned 40 this week, was standing next to her daughter in the home's carport when the 50-year-old Stayton began twirling his gun in the air.
As he attempted to holster the weapon, it slipped from his hand, struck the concrete floor, and fired.
A single shot struck Chaires in the neck, and she later died.
Stayton has not been charged in the fatal shooting, which remains under investigation.
Watch the scene from Tombstone:
"Always treat a firearm as though it were loaded."
