Val Kilmer was ROBBED that year of an Oscar. I'd argue it's his greatest performance and for me, gave the film many of it's unforgettable scenes and lines, cementing it as one of best Westerns ever made.
Absolutely. I thought the movie was a little to gory for me but I vividly remember all of kilmers parts.
The Oscars are a sham I'm not torn up about it his performance will never be forgotten and that's all that matters
I agree. Probably because he didn't kiss enough ass.
I wholeheartedly agree with you, Val Kilmer was outstanding in the role of Doc Holiday
Totally agree, it is still one of my top ten movies.
No one talks about the line Doc Holiday says to Wyatt in the Sanatorium. He tells Wyatt "there's no such thing as a normal life. There's just life." What great words!
Gvfff
Words to live by.
His looking down at his feet and saying "Funny" before he died is a historical fact though. He always thought TB wasn't what would get him, mof he expected to die at a gambling table or in the street by a bullet - why he lived like he did.
The entire quote from Doc to Wyatt after Wyatt expressed his desire to lead a normal life was "There's no such thing as a normal life, Wyatt. There's just life. Now get on with it."
Amen!
I loved Tombstone, but Val should've won an Oscar for best supporting actor for his portrayal of Doc Holliday.
Amen absolutely love from Edna NC
Yes he should have. He's a great actor.
While I agree with you and think that Val Kilmer is awesome in and the best thing about this movie, to say he was robbed of the Oscar is a bit harsh on winner Tommy Lee Jones whose portrayal of Sam Gerrard in The Fugitive is also fantastic.
Val Kilmer’s role as Doc Holliday could not be replicated. He took cool to a whole new level. The film was catapulted due to Val’s exceptional portrayal of Doc Holliday.
The fact that Kilmer wasn't even nominated for an Oscar is one of the greatest crimes in history.
I couldn't agree more. Val Kilmer deserved an Oscar for his portrayal of Doc Holiday. He was brilliant!
Agree with you
I believe that Val Kilmer is more meticulous in his preparation than the crashing majority of currently- and recently- working professional actors. I don't know if the story of how he manufactured his skin pallor on his own is true, but if it is, it would be consistent with other things he has said publically, and some things others have written. From what I've read, he pretty much charts his own course, for better or worse. I think he is too smart not to know what political correctness is, but chooses not to sing every single song along with the PC chorus. If you can sing - or think - on your own, that can get old after a while. So, if he makes another picture, I'll watch him in that, too.
Thanks, Doc. I'll let myself out..
Yeah..., we're needing some retroactive OSCARs here.
AGEED!!!
How Val Kilmer didn't win the Oscar that year, I will never understand. His portrayal of Doc Holliday is truly legendary.
Kelley Broussard Mackaig wasn't it?!!!
Wasn’t even nominated for an Oscar!
@ripdaddy KC and unlike Val Kilmer, Quaid actually portrays how Doc was according to anything you can find about him.
Movie politics. Tombstone came out before Wyatt Earp. Warner Brothers already knew Wyatt Earp was going to bomb and Tombstone was only going to make it worse. So they pressured the academy to not give Tombstone any nominations in order to keep people from seeing the film.
Kelley Broussard Mackaig best western movie I have ever seen and that does mean better than Clint Eastwood in all of his roles I mean that movie was just legendary I truly wonder why Kurt didn't go on to make movies after this and why Val pretty much died out fucking batman
A HUGE thank you to Val Kilmer and whoever cast him in this role. It's my favorite of all time. He won the Oscar of Public Appreciation a million times over.
My sister was in the movie. She was called an added extra. She’d stand in for the actress so the lighting ppl could measure the distance between the camera and actress. The scene that she stands out most in is in the casino where Wyatt is the card dealer, Val is sitting with Big Nose Kate and he’s drunk. The cowboys come in and Johnny Ringo shows off his gun twirling abilities and Doc mocks him with his sterling silver cup abilities. My sister is standing right next to Kurt Russell. When I was in the theater and I finally saw her I stood up and shouted “THATS MY SISTER”!! Everyone started laughing then clapped for me/her. So cool my sister was in the most loved westerns of my generation.
That's awesome 👌
That is so awesome, i cant think of a western id be more proud to be a part of. This movie is immortal and will forever be.
By far one of the most epic & iconic scenes in cinematic history.
“Whoa, we didn’t ask you that.”
Your sister is super cool FOREVER
Every actor in this film gave the performance of their lives. It was mesmerizing the first time I saw the film and still believe that it’s the best Western ever made. Val Kilmer got screwed out of an Oscar for best supporting actor.
It's too bad for Kurt. He was pretty great as Wyatt, but Val...
This is what happens when actors respect and truly believe in their directors.
Peter: I agree with 95% of what you said, but to me the best western ever made was The Searchers; followed closely by She Wore A Yellow Ribbon. Don't think it's because John Wayne was in them; I was never a big fan of his. It was just the movies. For another western that was unbelievably good watch Westward the Women.
"Shane" is my all time favorite.
Alf Dlg the good the bad and the ugly, is best ever. The searchers next. The ones you name are right up there. Great choices.
'Tombstone' is a classic. It's one the best movies ever made.
Ya, even better than, 'UNFORGIVEN' and that was a great western.
I love "Tombstone" but the pacing bothers me. It may be a narrative thing but it just feels choppy and rushed after the O.K. Corral fight.
Facts
Saw some crap a month ago about Top 100 Westerns...wasnt even in list...made me mad as HELL
Open range is another good modern classic of the Western genre
Tombstone is a cinematic masterpiece. I have always and will always love it. I also have said from the very beginning that Val Kilmer was absolutely robbed from winning an Oscar for his performance as Doc Holliday. That will forever be my favorite role of Val's.
“You gonna do something, or just stand there and bleed” my all-time favorite line from that movie. And, it’s the best movie for one-liners!
Outlaw Josey wales says hello 👋
Dyin ain’t much of a livin, you gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie, the hell with them fellas, the buzzards gotta eat same as the worms, don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining, dyin ain’t hard for men like us, it’s the living that’s hard when everything you’ve ever cared about has been butchered or raped..if you lose your head and give up, you neither win or live, that’s just the way it is..
I have to use this line one day....somehow...nose bleed....skinned knee....lol
I disagree, I think the line, “Skin that smokewagon and see what happens” is the all time best line.
@@SMAN3vo nope it’s skin that smoke wagon and see what happens
val kilmer should have won an Oscar for doc holiday
Definitely should've won hands down best Doc I've ever seen
@@victor.elkins I'm your huckleberry.
We get it! You people don't have to spam this everywhere
I love the scene where Russell yells, "And you tell 'em hell's comin with me!". I had both of my sons with me at the theater, John, age 15, and Jared, age 13. When Kurt delivers that great line my youngest (GOD rest his soul) turns to me and asks, "Dad, who's Hal?" After I finished laughing I answered his question. I miss the boy so much every day but he can still make me smile!
So sorry for your loss..its just not the right order of things. What a wondeful film to share and now have such a beautiful fun memory of the event. May God bless you
If only that had happened. Wyatt and Doc snuck into the railroad yard killed Frank with dozens of shots and snuck back out
Body wasn't found till the next afternoon.
God bless you. That moment with him will live forever!!!!!
😢
After watching your video, I went and re-watched Tombstone and found something interesting that I had not realized before. In the scene where Ringo shoots the priest after the cowboys killed everyone in the wedding party, Curly Bill asks Ringo what was the priest saying about a sick horse. Ringo says "He was quoting the Bible. Revelations. Behold a pale horse. And the man that sat on him was Death. And Hell followed with him." The next scene in the film is where Wyatt gets off the train in Tombstone. Both scenes foreshadow Wyatt's appearance at the same station (and train) where he encounters Ike Clanton and utters the famous line "You tell 'em I'm coming and Hell's coming with me." Wyatt was figurative and literally Death to the Cowboys when he embarked on his vendetta ride. I thought this was a really cool connection.
I'm doing the same thing.
That was one of the first things I ever noticed 😆 nice little foreshadowing there though. Nice and subtle
They put the scene in to make Jonny Ringo’s villain more believable. Jonny was an educated man and could speak Latin like he does in the saloon scene. Ringo never killed a priest in real world history. Michael Bein was great as Ringo and Powers Booth’s portrayal of Curly Bill was as well. Steven Lang is such a talent. Plays the cowardly Ike Clanton then plays the bad guy in Avatar and was good in the Jason Mamoa remake of Conan the Barbarian.
It's actually just The Book of Revelation. An educated man like Ringo, who can speak Latin, probably wouldn't have gotten that wrong by adding the S at the end. Also, the train that they are riding in the scene you're posting about is 5150, the same train that Wyatt came in on. 5150 is the number of the statute that allows for the involuntary detention of a crazy person.
I saw a Michael Biehn interview on you tube and he said that Ringo never really shot a priest and that was just a totally non historical made up scene. It's probably still on here if you want to check it out.It's called "Michael Biehn becoming Johnny Ringo".
"I'm your woman. You got killed, where does that leave me?"
"Without a meal ticket, I suppose"
Doc savagery at its finest
Based and black pilled, putting thots in their place
What scene was this line in?
@@BillOldsen It was part of the directors cut. Doc was supposed to have been bed ridden, but when he learns of Wyatt going after the Cowboys, he leaves to join them.

@@HvyMetal4Ever Thanks!
Kilmer isn't one of my favorite actors, but the role as Doc Holiday was of brilliance, historic,and greatest Male performance EVER
Check out The Doors if you haven't seen it, he homerunned it there too.
It just broke my heart that the idiots at The Academy passed over Val. He WAS DOC HOLIDAY!
I AGREE
Jeremy Elliot, Val Kilmer was brilliant! No one else could've played the part.
@@patriciadow1281 if anyone deserved an Oscar that year Val Kilmer did.
No one could have ever done a better job than Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday
Every once in a great while..... the stars align and a "perfect" movie comes together. Perfect script, plot, acting, development, imagery, cinematography, etc.... There are very few movies I consider "perfect".. This is one.
Among the all-time best films of the genre, Sam Elliot is in most of them. Gotta love Sam!
Yup
Val kilmer should have been awarded the Academy award for his role of Doc Holliday it was a masterful performance. All of the actor's were fantastic and they made the best western of all time.
English for Ringo's 'Age Quod agis', would be: "Go for it!"
Powers Boothe and Bill Paxton, Rest in Peace. We miss you! 😥
All the actors in this movie were perfectly cast! I am so addicted to this movie. Believe it was overlooked at Oscar time as so many are.
I am in love with Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday. He was absolutely perfect.
I'll be your Huckleberry. Man I miss the 90's ,when we were all happy and didn't know it. And we had some good ass movies like this to watch.
"when we were all happy and didn't know it." I'll drink to that!
This country has turned to shit.
@Jim Watson don't forget female Thor... WTF
It’s actually ‘Hucklebearer’ suprising right?
wavy it’s not, it’s a southern saying
I am 41 years old and have seen the movie at least 50 times. My 7 and 10 year old boys watched it for the first time a few weeks ago. They ask almost every day to watch it again. Both like Doc the best.
And now you probably believe the movie shows the actual truth of history?
Don't be "that guy". It's a freaking movie, a damn good one.
rhi gel The actual truth is quite a bit more complex. I have been fascinated with the Earp legend for many years, and from what I can tell there were no “good guys” or “bad guys” as movies portray. It was more of a feud between two rival factions. Still has made for some great movies. As I understand it, the Kevin Costner movie “Wyatt Earp” is probably closer to what happened, but still makes it a good guys vs the bad guys theme. I guess you need that to make a good movie.
Yooooo WTF. YALLL LOOKIN FOR ME Y. DIDNT EVEN CALL REAL MEMBER THATZ DIRT $$SHE AN BRO TELL ON. Yall 🙏🙏🙌
Hands down!!!!! The best portrayal ever!!!! VAL KILMER
Such a pure piece of acting by Mr.Val Kilmer.I could watch him alone in this flick.My all time favorites.
Val Kilmer should have gotten an Oscar for his portrayal of Doc Holliday. He was absolutely brilliant.
The year The Oscars forgot to give one to Val - Sad ...Kilmer deserved an Oscar that year.
I do agree
Sean and Laurie.
You betcha! And does anybody really think Tom Cruise would have come out of Top Gun even half as hot as he did, if he hadn't had Val Kilmer to play off of? Kilmer personifies acting - Distilled. Neat. No chaser.
Whatever, and if my Aunt had Balls she’d be my Uncle…
Val Kilmer rocked the whole damn movie he deserved the oscar
This film is absolutely legendary, Val Kilmer’s best performance in my book!
I can’t damn near quote this movie verbatim!
So sad what happened to Val!
But he’s gained immortality through his artwork!
May he love a very long life!
Val Kilmer's performance is one of the best in cinematic history. Absolutely fantastic. He should have won an Oscar.
Aww that is so sweet. How long did he work with the horse for him to bond so well with it, does anyone know?
Oops see comment below need more coffee dang it ha ha
I TOTALLY AGREE !!!
Cousin Jimmy Farha He portrayed Doc the way that I’ve read about him which is 4 of the best rated Biographies. One of them written by a family member.
He did the single best acting in movie history in this movie. If you read about the real life of Doc, this was it...to a tee!
"Thanks for always being there Doc." One of the best lines and one that says it all about a true friendship.
True story: in 1970, I was working on a slow Sunday afternoon in a pharmacy in Denver. This old pharmacist came up and talked a while. He was 94, was born in Glenwood Springs, and saw Doc Holliday on his deathbed in the sanitarium where he worked sweeping and doing odd chores.
Val Gheller if that’s true that is crazy. I’d want to ask him so many questions lol
@@joshuaposey6027 True story. I started getting busy and he said he'd come back sometime... never did. I did the math. He was 94 in 1970, so he was born in 1876. Doc Holliday died in Glenwood in 1887, and this guy would have been 11. Yeah, I hoped he'd return because I did have more questions, but I was glad to have met him that once.
Hi Val, you were young at the time, I presume, and things happen. It is too bad you didn’t make your customers wait and get his address and ask to pay a visit. You might have had a book, or at least a historical account to share about the last days of the Doc. Who. Al played to perfection, except there were no last visits by Wyatt, or any at all. The broke off shortly after te immortal ride because Doc made an offensive anti-Semitic crack about Josie and her connections.
Curly Bill Brocious was my great grand father.
@@stanleyshannon4408 umm u sure about that.. we need documentation or something to back up your allegations
The best western ever made.
Johnny Ringo: Doc? I was just funnin'.
Doc: I wasn't.
Hell, I've got lots of Friends. Doc: I don't
The fact that Val Kilmer wasn't even nominated for best supporting actor tells one what a joke the Academy is. Disagree? Then watch the scene towards the end when Doc is close to death and he tells Wyatt about how tormented he is that the only woman he ever loved was a distant cousin who was sent away to be a nun once their relationship was discovered. Make sure to have something to dry your eyes with shortly after.
wyatt hadnt seen doc in ages , doc died alone
I'm very disappointed that James Earl Jones and Lesley Ann Warren didn't get best supporting nods for Field of Dreams and Victor/Victoria, respectively.
It was his first cousin not a distant cousin.
Christopher G. Sooo true
Well it's public opinion. Apparently he's not easy to work with so they let their personal feeling get in the way. Fuck the oscars.
Val Kilmers best performance and is the best depiction for the ages of Doc Holliday!!
Val Kilmer's Oscar snub is the worst of ALL time...
Val Kilmer got snubbed just now when they were going over all the famous actors in this one.
I agree. Best role he's every performed.
He was great
I loved the tin cup slinging LOL LOL
Val playing Doc was so very good. Its still one of my favorites. I'd sure like it if a special 2nd can be done, its that good
"Tombstone" was a much grittier version of the Wyatt Earp portrayal than the Costner film released around the same year! The cast of actors played their roles convincingly! Kilmer's treatment of 'Doc' Holliday was sheer perfection! "You're a daisy if you do!" "Why, Johnny Ringo! You look like somebody just walked over your
grave!" " I have not yet begun to defile myself!"
Costner movie showed Wyatt's rather flexible moral attitudes. It also depicts the famous gunfight as eyewitnesses saw it. Doc NEVER moved. Fight lasted 30 seconds at best.
The Costner film sucks. Ironically, the only thing about it I liked was Dennis Quaid's portrayal of Doc Holliday, which was pretty good, though not Val Kilmer good.
@@RCAvhstape timbsri.
..mmmmmmm
@@RCAvhstape I've been studying the Earp's for sixty years and thought Tombstone was a flashy load of crap. The Costner film got much of it right: the ok gunfight didn't happen at the ok but a vacant lot. Every eyewitness reports doc did not run around firing a hundred shots from two sixguns but stayed standing in one place as Quaid does. The bullshit ride of the immortals cost Wyatt his badge as the Costner film shows. Johnny Ringo shot himself. Doc was in Colorado at the time. Wyatt and Doc stopped speaking because Doc dis not approve of Wyatt marrying a Jewish woman! Doc died alone in a hotel room. Wyatt was not there and write no books about Doc. Wyatt always referred to the famous gunfight as a street fight and later regretted it. The Buntline Special dud not appear in any Colt catalog until 1957. Stuart Lake freely admitted to making up ninety per cent of Earp's autobiography as Wyatt would not co operate and then died. Josie sued Lake saying his book should be rega ded as fiction. Doc didn't kill anybody before Tombstone. The Man he stabbed recovered. Wyatt was a very quiet reserved man. When he killed Stilwell did not stand there yelling. He and Doc snuck in and out. Ike was not there. Author of Tombstone saud he invented the red sash thing but it was no historical fact. He said he's was inspired by gang colors he saw in modern LA. The cause of the gunfight was so controversial Wyatt and Doc we're forced by law to leave Arizona or face a murder rap.
@@larry1824 You are probably right, but I don't care about historical accuracy, I want a good entertaining film, and Tombstone is the better film, while the Costner film is boring and Costner himself irritates me.
I never want a remake of this movie just leave it alone.
A remake of this epic movie would be blasphemy.
Not in our life times!
Did you see what they did with the "Magnificent Seven". Why didn't they make that movie and then call it something else. Maybe "mindless tripe" or something like that. They embarrassed themselves then and would totally humiliate themselves if they even try to remake "Tombstone". Just because you can doesn't mean you should. And the new "Mag 7" even made some tasteless, online idiot's top western movies of all time. Hahahahaha. What a maroon. Tombstone ranks up there with the John Ford classics: "Red River", "The Searchers", and "The magnificent Seven (original)". They all had perfect casting, perfect scripts, perfect portrayals, perfect direction.
@@GuapoJhimi - agreed! 100%!
Considering the source material is real life, any films about this incident would just be different adaptations, not remakes.
“Why are you doing this doc?”
Doc:“Wyatt erb is my friend”
“Hell I’ve got lots of friends”
Doc:“I don’t”
Was just going to quote this. There are too many “best lines”.
Best line ever
Gives me goosebumps every time!!
I love Wyatt Erb
@@bellmeisterful I think he was trying to spell Herb to be honest.
hockey great wayne Gretzky(who is a american civil war and old west buff) was so taken by val kilmers portrail of Doc Holiday, that he sent him season tickets to the LA Kings.
Val Kilmer is and was the best in his role as Doc Holiday, I will never forget how excellent he was, totally amazing
How the hell Kilmer never got an Oscar for his performance as Doc Holliday, is quite beyond me.
He SHOULD have gotten an Oscar for that role.... Makes me sick that he didn't ‼️
@@auntchevy8865 I thought he was very good but I really don't think he had enough screen time in that movie. I would have loved more scenes and less of kurt Russell. I mean you want to give him the Oscar...he didn't even get nominated. Too few scenes IMO
He didnt need it, he is a Legend now.
THE "ACADEMY" didn't find it worthy. They have missed so many great films but it is like the "Aluminate"...only certain things are worthy :(
Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer kept their promise to a man even ten years past the promise. To me, ever so humble, find dignity in that.
Look Wyatt it's Jonny Ringo. I'm sure I hate him. U don't even know him
Wut about u? U retired too? Me I'm in my prime.. yeah u look it.
Watch Bone Tomahawk...
Kurt Russell is amazing
Did I miss it? What promise?
@@evearcana2392 watch 2:16 to 3:06
Never before or since have I gone to a movie theatre to see a film more than once. I saw Tombstone four times in the theatre as a college kid, and probably hundreds of more times. It is probably my all time favorite.
"Hurts don't it"? Love, love, love this movie. I've lived in Arizona all my life and this is the best movie made about Tombstone, ever. Val Kilmer was incrdible.
I heard that Val Kilmer was a fan of Doc Holliday, and over the course of his life did tons of research on him, making him the best possible candidate for portraying the character.
Val has got to be the most underrated actor on the planet.
Except when he played Batman - that was sad lol
Stephen Lang, the actor who played Ike Clanton, is my vote for that. Pure genius of an actor.
You called down the thunder well now you’ve got it!!!!!!!
sr bryan maybe it was just a terrible script or whatever but I’ve always wondered how a man who played one role so wonderful could shit the fan playing another lol.
I KNOW THIS MOVIE AND IM FRIKEN 7 YEARS OLD BOI
The entire cast of Tombstone was Phenomenal. The Characteristics of Val Kilmer's Doc, all of the way up to his deathbed scene, looking at his feet without his boots on, just before he died, saying, that this is funny, was something else for a man like Holliday, hoping to die with his boots still on his feet, as it was for many outlaws & gunmen of the Old Western times. (No less, no more!!!)
I don’t think there could’ve been a more perfect cast for a more perfect Western. Kurt Russell was amazing as Wyatt Earp, makes you ask the question Kevin who? Michael Biehn and Val Kilmer were outstanding.
Dont forget Powers Boothe
@@pjj9491 a sa
Amen love them all Edna
Costner was more historical and accurate. Wyatt's alleged ride of the immortals cost him his badge. He and Doc we're told to leave Arizona and never come back or face a murder charge! Look it up!
"Tombstone" is, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest westerns ever made. One of the reasons - aside from the superb acting and the magnificent script - is the attention to historical detail. The clothing and especially the weapons and leather gear are absolutely historically accurate. For example, the shotgun that Wyatt Earp uses in the famous creek shootout scene is a replica of the shotgun the real Earp used - a TEN GAUGE shotgun! The leather gear - holsters and belts - are absolutely correct for the time period, something which endears this movie to me and legions of others just like me.
Now I think I'm gonna go pop the disk into my BluRay player and watch it again!
Traveller was the guy that played Texas Jack the actual outfitter? Seems like I read that back then. I went to school with a guy that outfits movies with animals ...etcetera, Dallas Smally. Ever hear of him?
@@davidwaynegay Can't say as I know if the guy who played Texas Jack was the outfitter, and no, I've never heard of Dallas Smally. Sorry.
Even the shotgun shells were period.
I like the shotgun that Doc uses in the shootout at the OK corral, shoots 3 time from a double barrel without reloading!
Pale rider
The long duster that Wyatt was wearing during his shoot out with Curly Bill in the creek actually has multiple bullet holes in it due to the way it was waving the around due to Wyatt's movements. One of the biggest snubs by the Academy ever shown to the western genre. Val Kilmer should have won an Oscar for his role as Doc Holiday.
texknight67 I AGREE!!!
Nope.
Russell is PRO GUN that wasn't happening.
That was a watershed moment for me .....I haven't watched another Oscar Awards show since .
Never get tired of watching this, it's an all time favourite, would love to see extended version, if it exists!
Anyone who has ever wanted a taste of the Old West must put a weekend in "Old Town" Tombstone, Arizona, on your Bucket List. IMO, better than Disney. We had an absolute blast there 3 years ago. The dirt main street, many original structures, period perfect carriage and stagecoach rides, wonderfully AFFORDABLE prices for attractions make Tombstone perfect for couples, families or even "Lone Rangers". To add to the flavor, local residents (the real town is adjacent) dress up in 1880 style garb, stroll around on the wood plank sidewalks, some dressed as cowboys on horseback ride around adding to the flavor. I fulfilled a life long fantasy: strolled into "Big Nose Kate's Saloon, slapped my hand on the authentic bar, said out loud: "Whisky!" Barkeep said, "What kind?" I asked "What did THEY drink?" "Old Overholt Rye", he said. "Then that's what I want". It was GREAT (did 3 shots - not driving that day).
It used to be so much better when I was a kid, I'm 48 now. It has gotten very "touristy". What blew my mind was at the end of this they said most was filmed in Knott's berry farm! Say what?? Why not Tombstone or even Old Tucson where they film all the westerns??
You are so right my friend.wife and I've been to Tombstone twice so much history so much to see hope we'll be able to make it again. if you ever make it to New Mexico check out Lincoln and Fort Sumner all about Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War. must-see for the wild west history buff
My Aunt's been there and she loved it
Visited Tombstone on my first ever trip to the US of A circa 2010. For someone from the South Sea isles my American experience up to that point had been limited to whatever the movie screens shared. So Tombstone for me was like stepping into the movie screens and living the old western experience that I'd assumed was a bygone reality. It has been my favourite American memory and no other US experience come close to it. My photo there was taken at the Old Tuscon Studios the day after. I loved the visit to the Boothill gravesite and getting emersed in the poetic twang of good ole western dialects as I read through epitaphs and headstones on that historical sight. Planning on taking my kids one of these days.
Big Nose Kate...made me miss David Carradine all over again...that was a good western too🤣
Pretty cool that Russel directed it, but let Kilmer shine so brightly, overshadowing him.
No not at all the complimented each other both completely different but the same.
Lol I don't he actually realize val was blowing his performance outa the water, not that his wyatt wasn't a good performance but we all like the degenerate drunky way better than a stiff neck cop, even if they were best buddies! Lol
I don't think , I meant to say
After watching russel in the hateful eight what a legend
Only a fool thinks Kilmer outshined Russell in Tombstone...
Dang; after watching this I feel the need to pop my copy of
"Tombstone", back in the ol' DVD player, and watch it again.
This movie never gets old.
Heck yeah just tuning out to pop it in the dvd player....bliss so much eye candy and machoness lol
I wore out two VHS copies if this back in the 90s. Haha
Tombstone and the original True Grit are my favorite movies of all time.
My favorite line from the movie was "Are you gonna do something or just stand there and BLEED?" One of my favorite movie lines ever!!
THE best line of the movie (for me) was delivered by Val. He said " I don't". Think about the scene and it rings so true to those of us who have been let down by so called friends.
that's exactly how i must reply .
not by choice , by standards . which , sadly , most fall short of .
i guess you and me need to find better people to call friends .
Yes Buck Taylor said” I have lots of friends” and Val says” I don’t !!
I loved that line !!
Great movie, l think Michel Biehn..played a great Johnny Ringo, very good actor!
Loved him as JONNY RINGO/BEST ACTOR IN THE MOVIE TO ME/LOVE THE BAD BOYS/LOL
"Look darling, it's Johnny Ringo!"
He also played a "gunslinger" in the Mandolorian TV series!
Corporal hicks is aliens my all time favourite film. An amazing actor
@@pjj9491 he was Kyle Reese, John Connor’s dad.
Tombstone was classic Val Kilmer nailed Doc Holiday. What a cast!
Absolutely loved this movie. Val Kilmer was so awesome in it, as he was in all the movies I’ve seen him in. So sad that he is so sick now. But he’s got to be proud as well as everyone else in the movie, for this great accomplishment
I liked Tombstone much better than Kevin Costner's Wyatt Earp flick.
He's not even in the same class as Sam is & never will be
Kevin Costner always makes for a snooze fest
Night and day difference
Costners movie was a joke compared to this movie.
Kostner’s rendition is embarrassing. Tombstone‘a in an entirely different universe.
I have always thought the relationship between Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday was handled so very well. They were friends to the end.
Actually they weren't. They had a falling out late in Doc's life. Something about Big Nose Kate calling Wyatt's new wife Jew something.
Can't say much about real life, cause I don't know; but I will say that onscreen, the relationship between Wyatt and Doc was also handled very well by Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas in Gunfight at the OK Corral and by Jim Garner and Jason Robards, Jr in Hour of the Gun. I'd even venture to say that the farewell scenes between Doc and Wyatt in the sanitorium in both Hour of the Gun and Tombstone (made almost thirty years apart) are practically mirror images of each other.
he saved earps life in real life that's why.
McMasters: Where's Wyatt?Doc: Out by the creek, walking on water
Toss up between Tombstone with Kurt Russell & The Outlaw Josey Wales with Clint Eastwood, as the Greatest Westerns ever filmed. From The Duck.
@@garydodd8445 "Toss up... " Agreed! I thought Josie Wales had a great ensemble cast and its fair share of good quotes.
This is one of those movies I can watch over and over again, and there aren't many I do that with.
"I'm your huckleberry." means, "It could be done by anybody, but I'm the man for the job." It became a taunt for fights, but was commonly used for a number of things.
Of all the great westerns ever made, Tombstone is my favorite western - period.
Have you ever seen Unforgiven. Might just change your mind.
Me too.
Deadwood is right up there
@71SgtMom
As for quotes... "It's a hell of a thing killing a man." "I'll come back and kill every one of you sons-a-bitches." I couldn't think of anymore that doesn't have to do with killing. And I smile when I watch both movies. I like Tombstone because it really happened. And I like Unforgiven because that's how the west realy was. It wasn't sequined shirts (I think I'm spelling that right. If not just think about it for a while) and honorable duels. And the whores didn't all look like Mrs. Kitty either.
Really, I like both movies pretty much the same. I have so many DVDs it's pretty much useless to pick a favorite.
Same!
Ol Billy Bob even had a funny line. "I feel like I'm playing cards with my brother's kids!" 😆
My sisters and I always laughed when he pushed the guy sitting next to him and made his chair squeak 😂
I bet I've watched this movie dozens of times, and even though I'm a HUGE Billy Bob Thornton fan, didn't realize for the longest time that that was him!
I said that one day while at a delivery and the guy I was delivering to lost it.
"Ill blow you up that wild cats ass!"
This is far and away my most quoted line from this movie!
How you don't mention Val Kilmer at the beginning of this movie is absolutely insane.
one of the all time greatest westerns ever filmed. Believe it will stand the test of time and still be watched another 30 years from now!
The most freaking epic western ever!! I watch this whenever I want real acting, drama, storyline, plot, history, and just plain entertainment. Loved them all, but Val Kilmer kicked ass. Thank you for all the hard work that went into to this classic
Love u AJ SORRY4 TIPPING 5
I really like all the actors on TOMBSTONE it's a great movie
Open Range was another good action movie if the West
RIP Bill Paxton. Game over man, game over.
Seldin Gardane : rip to powers boothe also
Seldin Gardane I know! one of the best actors of our generation!!!
Great actor
A damn shame. He is a fabulous actor no matter what character he played. Fook me.....
Holy shit. I obviously missed something! When did Bill Paxton die?
I really enjoyed this as Tombstone is still one of my favorite movies. We watch it often.....can't get enough of Doc Holliday and Wyatt!!! Thanks
Loved Tombstone and Doc Holiday, Val Kilmer, just the best.
I was never into western movies until Tombstone. Now it is one of my all time favorite movies.....
You should watch Once Upon A Time In The West. It's on Netflix now.
@@dukefrywokker6470 Thanks for the suggestion, I dont have Netflix though....
Val Kilmer got SCREWED.he should of won an Oscar for that roll
The Oscars are a nonaward. Val was clearly the best of that year.
Who won that year anyway?
@George McCann Well, okay. I guess that is fair lol
@George McCann Can't argue with that. Still one of my favorite performances by ANY actor.
No one else could have been Doc. Holiday, but Val Kilmer. He was the best ever. He was amazing. Epic. He owned it. Such a gift. & with Kurt Russell what a pair & such a true friendship.
😊 I'm your Huckleberry! Next to the WILD BUNCH, in my opinion TOMBSTONE ranks as the greatest Western of all time. When some friends and I saw it on the big screen back in '93', we repeated Val Kilmer's line for about a whole week. Val stole the show!
He should've received an Oscar for his role as Doc Holliday.
" Why Johnny Ringo, you look like someone just walked over your grave."
Gearhead, correction. "Why Johnny Ringo you look like somebody JUST walked over your grave." Minor change but it does add something to the statement.
Take care
@66fredo99 la France "I beg to differ!"
Johnny Ringo most likely committed suicide. He shot himself in the head.
@@dewitthobson2279 Found dead up against a tree with a hole in his head. Grave marker is on private land and you need permission to visit. I was near the area last year. Also seen Doc Holiday's marker in Colorado, but no one knows where his body is.
@paulbrown357 Did you watch the video? He tells you exactly what it means. 🤔
One of my favorite movies. I've watched this gazillions of times.
Loch Bucane I bought it, so have it guaranteed available whenever I want, since I couldn't buy Val Kilmer.
Val playing Doc makes this movie my favorite western movie, and that say's alot since I love CE spaghetti westerns.
I've always been shocked that they never made a prequel that showed how Doc went from Sothern gentleman Dentist to gambler and notorious gunslinger. Starring Val Kilmer of course.
This is my all time favorite!!! Not that you asked or care , How ever hit that like button if you are a true fan of this version... A movie that truly never can get old for me.. Flawless, Just my opinion
Awesome movie. Kilmer at his best. Pretty much owned it. Michael Biehn had his best role in this movie. Between the two, it was all you could ask for in a most incredible showdown. Lost track of how many times I've watched this movie. With more to come..
Tony S Biehn talks about Ringo czcams.com/video/fAeiWbKWtT0/video.html
Reading Wikipedia
Hey brother, thanks a lot..
Tony S "when you are playing a bad guy the last thing you wanna do is play a bad guy" explains the performance perfectly
From the moment I heard Ringo talk about the pale horse, I knew he was a badass....Plus, how he shot the priest so fast and with zero emotion...he brought such depth to that character....he had that quiet smoldering anger underneath...reminds me of the way Heath Ledger played Enis Delmar in Brokeback Mountain...
Actual historians give Tombstone a huge thumbs up for one of the most accurate historically made movies ever!
Wyatt slapping that guy upside the head for hitting the horse with this gloves.
Wyatt: Hurts don’t it!
Epic performances by Aldis gentleman Val Kilmer Kurt Russell can't remember all the guys names but they look awesome in their Cowboy boy get up gear and the script was just fantastic
"I'll be your Huckleberry"... One of the best lines and character's in movie history...
Daniel, just so you are not corrected in public, and possibly humiliated, it's "I'm your huckleberry." You're better than this.
just bantering, is it "I'm your huckleberry?"
This is one of two different sayings from the time. The other was I'll be your huckle buck. Which is what the handle on a coffin was called. It meant I'll carry you to your grave after I kill you.
@@PINKFL0YD huckle bearer. Not buck. The handle was called a huckle.
Jesus christ, did you watch the video?
Second best line by Dennis Quaid, same role, “every one of you may kiss my rebel dick.”
Oh Johnny, I apologize; I forgot you were there. You may go now.
...and leave the shotgun (or words to that effect).
Johnny Tyler ! ...... Mad cap ! Where you going with that shotgun?
Maybe one of the most underrated quotes in the movie.
I've got two pistols one for each of you
@@scottmaclaren4837 your so drunk your probably seeing double!
A great line after Doc guns down Ringo and Wyatt shows up: “I’m afraid the strain was more than he could bare” . After Wyatt takes the deputy badge off of Ringo, Doc says “my hypocrisy goes only so far” . Epic lines in one scene!
One of my all-time favorite moves, BAR NONE, not just Western movies but all movies!!! Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday was an ABSOLUTE work of art!!! What a masterpice! As Kelley Broussard mentioned, him not winning the Academy Award for best actor best supporting actor is an ABSOLUTE travesty!!! His not even getting nominated only adds salt to this ABSOLUTELY humongous wound!!!
J's Mom: OMG! I am in my seventies and am still mesmerized every time I watch this (a lot) !! This is a once in a lifetime awesome movie. Each time I watch, there is always something that I had missed before. How is that for finding treasures that somehow have gotten overlooked before? Love everything about the creation of this EPIC !!
Im 69 and also class this as my favourite Western,
I live in Tombstone. It was crazy how many people showed up to see Val a couple months ago when he came to town.. one more thing you probably didnt know is it was Vals 1st time ever being in the real town of tombstone.
Chuck Terrell oh wow I just visited it for the first time today. I didn’t realize how well it is kept for the time period. I don’t think most people outside of the area would know it’s a must visit for history lovers.
Chuck Terrell I was just in Tombstone two weeks ago at the OK Coral
Thats cool Chuck. Do you know anything about Lestor's grave, bout who he was or who might have gave him such a cool headstone???
@@KyleInOklahoma Probably the dude that shot him, or by someone he owed money.
"Saw a replica of a real tombstone at Ripley's Believe It Or Not in Gatlinburg years back. It said:
"Hey bro. If you want your watch back, start digging."
Chuck Terrell
the best part of Tombstone was the courthouse where they had Wayett 's gun and some of Holidays dental implements and the hanging tree.
My Son calls it “The Movie of His Generation”. As often as it gets played here, I’m sure it is! Even the cat knows the lines!
Tombstone simply my favorite Western. Val Kilmer played such an iconic role as Doc Holiday.
Great video! I do have one correction to make. The movie was filmed largely at Old Tucson Studios in Tucson, AZ. The town that portrayed tombstone in the film was the Mescal set outside of Benson which is still there and was also used as the set for “The Quick and the Dead”. The cemetery shown in the film was not filmed at Knottsberry (although the replica mentioned is there). The cemetery in the movie was constructed at the Mescal set in Az.
I have intimate knowledge of these sets as I worked at Old Tucson Studios as a stuntman for 3 years. I have actually done high falls off of the mission that was depicted in the opening wedding scene!!
I've been at Big Nosed Kates saloon Tombstone a few times and met a few actors who did bit parts in some western movies.
I've seen that show at OT Studios. Really enjoyed it except for having to sit on aluminum bleachers during 100 degree weather.
I took my wife to Tombstone a few years back, where an old man told us about the set up in Mescal. We drove up there to find a tightly locked gate and a rather unassuming mailbox that read “Old Tucson Studios”. Couldn’t see much from that far away but what we could see looked awfully familiar from what we had seen in the movie. Cool stuff!
Nathan Delahay I was just about to make the same correction myself.
That's way cool. I got to visit old Tucson Studios back in 98 I think. I loved it. The actual OK corral in Tombstone was really neat too.
Am I the only one here that's seen this movie like 5000 times? 😝
ivanvas55. love it too!
Nope me as well
We all love it so its all good
No !!!!
Yep!
The scene when Doc/ Val makes fun of Ringo by mocking his "?pisto lplay" with his whiskey drinking cups and had the whole saloon busting their guts laughing. That hurt worse than a punch to the face. Great S eenr!!!
