"why Ike, whatever do you mean?" drunk, 36 hours into a poker game, and dying from tuberculosis, yet doc's eyes during that line were absolutely murderous
The look on Doc's face when Wyatt puts his hand on his shoulder. Like he had to process the gesture and remind himself this was his friend. That is why Wyatt got a very firm yet friendly "warning". The respect and the love...speaks volumes.
One of life's mysteries..seriously the best acting I've seen and he only has a total of I minutes of air time on the movie..I minutes of him being doc isn't enough..
The true genius here is Stephen Lang, he played the ignorant, cowardly, cowboy “thug” to a t. Willing to start trouble and drama but running away at the first opportunity.
This has been one of my favorite movies as long as I can remember and I had never noticed that until a few years ago. Its one of those small details that really adds to the recklessness of the scene.
that's a good actor there. He stayed in character, didn't draw unnecessary attention, kept it normal. If the bottle had broken, there's a chance they might have redone the seen, or the breaking bottle could have distracted someone or caused someone to break character. That was a good catch.
I love how Val Kilmer delivers _"Let's have a Spelling contest!",_ he looks exactly how a person holding to burst into laughter looks, it was so natural you can tell he had to find that line funny even after dozens of times of rehearsing it; that's some method acting right there.
1:56 I understand why everyone is talking about Val’s performance obviously but Sam Elliott’s eyes and voice is probably one of the realest depictions of just pure rage struggling to be let out in a film I’ve seen. The way Ike just keeps talking and getting closer and closer, you almost see Virgil’s eyes lighting up as he gets more and more angry with Ike’s attitude. Truly great performances by everyone in the scene.
Indeed, and it is as you said, everyone involved on this film performed so good that one could have a big difficulty having a preference objectively speaking. From the coward Ike, his performance was so real and the actor made you really hate Ike so much. Sam Elliot is just a master of the craft, and Indeed, Val Kilmer took on so much that every scene with him was pure gold. Bill Paxton was like the innocent puppy that really puts the pain in you. I don't like cowboy movies whether based on real life or not, but this film is my favorite along with Outlaws with Collin Farrell.
I have never noticed that in all my watches over the year. I have been too busy enjoying Kilmer's acting but thank you! That adds so much more to the relationship and respect between Earp and Doc
Ike was about to get a serious beat down from Virgil's moustache. Sam Elliot's facial hair is so epic that I can see the left half of his 'stache grabbing Ike by the neck while the right half turns into a fist that starts punching him in the face, Looney Tunes-style.
I just love how Ike goes from trying to be the little bullyboy up until the moment Virgil is completely done with his shit. You can see his eyes go wide as he realizes he just crossed a line and is about to get his ass handed to him.
Doc knew the end was coming soon, and he wasn’t ready to die. There was a sad reflection in his eyes. He simply wanted to live deep while he lived, to excessively enjoy the world he knew and loved while he was still above ground. The irony, he was well-aware, was that he was the very best at what he did, but the one thing he had no power over was the thing that everyone else took for granted: his health. Doc wins big against Ike, but he feels like the biggest loser at the table. And all his “fabulous luck” (i.e.: his skills as a psychologist and poker player) turns out to be little more than cold comfort. But he knew how that hand would play out. So he got a little drunker than usual. A little meaner, too. He stirred the pot more than Wyatt may have wanted, but Doc was a chess player as much as he was a poker man. With his remaining time, he wanted to flush out the little cowboy problem they had in Tombstone. To make life easier for his friends and the townsfolk. Doc’s actions may have seemed reckless and uncalculated to some, but he was always ten steps ahead of everyone, including his friends. And he was never that drunk. In many ways, he really was in his prime. And that’s the tragedy of Doc Holliday.
@@slide4180 well consider the time.. they didn’t know how TB worked or spread or how to help it properly. I haven’t watched the whole movie yet but maybe she doesn’t know it yet or just doesn’t care? I know he passes out after this and there’s another scene where a doctor confirms his TB. If she finds out he has it during the diagnosis what’s the point of leaving him if there’s a chance she has it too?
@@slide4180 She doesn't even care that he has TB. She likes the life he lives. Running around doing bad things, stealing, gambling, and traveling. She doesn't care about his TB. She still gives him sex and alcohol which is the last thing he needs when he has TB. So she just doesn't care.
The look of fury on Stephen Lang's face after Val's "why Ike, whatever do you mean?" And then the look of fury on Sam Elliott's face when Stephen is threatening him...pure gold
MORGAN: "He's been at it for 36 hours straight." WYATT: "Doc, you've been hitting it awful hard, haven't you?" DOC: "Nonsense. I've not yet begun to defile myself."
You know the man's a true hardcore when he can play cards for 36 HOURS STRAIGHT, with only whisky and titties to sustain him. If only I can be as grossly incandescent.
So many great performances in the movie, Stephen Lang's often gets overlooked. For years I didn't realize that was him because it's so different from the characters he usually plays.
@@tmage23 I agree completely, Stephen Lang is a terrific character actor who has had some great roles, I always liked him in The Bronx is burning as inspector Dowd, But this scene in Tombstone I just thought Lang and Sam Elliott killed it!
They may be murderous outlaws, but at least they care somewhat about keeping the establishment clean. I mean shit, cleaning shards of broken glass is a bitch to deal with.
The true hero here? The cowboy with cigar in his mouth, with the no look bottle catch saving the liquor from a gruesome fate to the floor. What a catch!
Stephen Lang said he was drunk for most of his scenes as Ike, in order to create the kind of realism that was needed to portray Ike. The biggest irony is after filming was completed, Lang had to check into a hospital in Glenwood Springs, CO to get treated for kidney stones brought on by the fact he drank so much alcohol, but drank very little water. Glenwood Springs is also the same town that Doc Holliday died in.
How can he be so polite yet intimidating at the same time - "I will not be pawed at, thank you very much" As compared to Ike's outburst: "Get your goddamn hands off me!"
Wyatt was respectful to him and he respects him and responded the same way saying basically I’m not being ran off for Ike’s sake which is what Wyatt was trying to do.
Man, the best part isn't in this clip but when Doc gets carried out, Ike asks the bar keep what the issue with Doc. He responds with "Lunger". Ike then goes "Yeah! Well, i hope you die!" In the direction of Doc, gets me every time 🤣🤣🤣. Great acting from Kilmer and Lang here.
Doc was a dangerous guy. A fatalist with a wasting disease that killed his original professional practice as a dentist. A skilled fighter with absolutely zero fear, a bit of a death wish and nothing to lose is a dangerous situation walking on 2 feet.
This is the greatest western of all time I’ve seen a lot of them but the cast and character talent level here is top tier Val Kilmer Kurt Russel are studs even Bill Paxton puts on a great performance nothing compares I remember watching this as a kid and being impressed. I am now 40 and still as impressed as I was when I first seen it. Hell, I might even watch it tonight.
I remember using that line once in a bar. A guy and me, not quite drunk but getting there, were having an argument or about to fight. I can't remember what it was to be honest, and I said, "I know, let's have a spelling contest." He started laughing and then I started laughing. After that, we bought each other about 3 rounds each and had a great ol'night. We became good buddies after that.
one of the little details I loved about this scene was at 1:37 how when Ike gets tough and comes up to Virgil, Virgil doesn't even flinch. amazing little detail to the scene there just felt it should be recognized
Most awesome thing about this is that its historically accurate too. Doc would intentionally piss off players by making jokes about them to make them play worse.
Doc & Wyatt were best friends but Doc was the ultimate badass & Wyatt was no slouch but he wouldn’t ever fuck with Doc. Val Kilmer minimally deserved an Oscar nomination - he was absolutely brilliant.
kilmer's acting overshadows everything in this film, but credit should be given to the guy playing Clanton. I think he delivers an excellent performance too.
There are few performances in cinematic history that will stand out a hundred years from now. Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine in "Casablanca". Marlon Brando as Terry Malloy in "On The Waterfront" Henry Fonda as young Abe Lincoln and Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday in Tombstone. Val prepared for and executed that role as good as any actor in the history of movies. God Bless you Val.
Kilmer cracking up after he threw that killer jab at ikes amazing intelligence, is the best..... even while getting pushed he's dying from laughter hahahaha I love it
You have to appreciate the acting of the guy playing the cowboy there with Ike! Love how he tries to be the level-headed peace maker by offering Virgil a quick handshake but is denied. Then he slaps his hand on the bar and puts his head down like "dammit here we go" haha God I love this movie!!

Whoa! His eyes do look murderous!
He's crazy obviously lol.
Hey you, loving man 😂🌺🔥
Ike could see it, too. It's like Wyatt says later, he's not as dumb as he looks.
He wasn't being murderous, he was being sarcastic.
"What is that now, twelve hands in a row? Son of a bitch nobody's that lucky."
_"Why Ike, whatever do you mean?"_
Fucking legend.
The way Val Kilmer plays Doc Holiday it like he's not even acting.
DarKKnightt07 Great Performance!!! One of my favorite movies ever!
DarKKnightt07 the best drunk acting I’ve ever seen
He did it right. They're not supposed to catch you acting.
He's not. If you actually met him you'd see that in real life he is just like that.
Jimmy Stewart was another one that didn't seem to be acting. It would more like watching reality.
1:52 kudos to the guy at the table who flawlessly caught the bottle when it was knocked over
he saved the scene if people broke character when the bottle hit the ground
And did it without looking.
I thought the same when I first saw the movie many years ago and think it when ever I see it again 😂
The look on Doc's face when Wyatt puts his hand on his shoulder. Like he had to process the gesture and remind himself this was his friend. That is why Wyatt got a very firm yet friendly "warning". The respect and the love...speaks volumes.
then wyatt pulls out the wad to bankroll him after doc disses him, backing him
Val Kilmers Doc Holiday can never be contested. Ever.

That's correct. Kilmer's performance is iconic.
Should have gotten the Oscar for best supporting in 93 if you ask me

You just described BLM.
Got to love the colonel from Avatar that plays Ike
He was actually drunk the entire time too which helped add to the effect
The truth: even if he was as drunk as can be, Doc could beat anyone in Tombstone in a Spelling Contest.
I swear people swig whisky in this film like it's water.
Not to mention, opium smoking, cigar smoking, laudenum swilling, tobacco spitin, card sharkin, wenching...ah, freedom of choice, at it's best.😎👍
First word to spell was poker!!
That's the joke. He's calling Ike a moron -and Ike knows it. Lol
Hands down my favorite line in the movie.
Except Johnny Ringo. “Evidently he’s an educated man.”
Nobody ever mentions Sam Elliott. The man is a great actor tough guy and unappreciated.
Very well cast in this film. Highly convincing in all the scenes
He is amazing and still so very handsome. That whole cast did an excellent job!
1:53 catches the bottle falling off the table without even looking at it lol
Good catch!

Hell i thought he was talkin to me lmao
yes, the level was raised for everyone on set. tremendous tremendous film, casting, directing, set design, wardrobe, just mesmerizing film
The respect at 00:34 when Wyatt politely removes his hand and quietly apologizes.... Good stuff...👍
Ike was to dense to notice that. The famous “law dawg” had a healthy respect for Doc.
I have never noticed that in all my watches over the year. I have been too busy enjoying Kilmer's acting but thank you! That adds so much more to the relationship and respect between Earp and Doc
It's called respect.
I like how the dude catches the bottle from falling off the table.
Lol I just saw that and first thing I thought. Had to been impromptu
Lol when I noticed that in the movie i thought it was the cutest thing that he still stayed in character but saved the bottle😅
He saved the shot
No body gives Steven Lang credit for playing easily the most hateable character in the whole.movie
I didn't even notice till i was watching Avatar again and went hey wait...
Yup, he nailed it.
He was my favorite

Hey, loving man! Ike cracks me up great character
I don't know team but if Sam Elliott told me "take it easy boys" I think I'd become some kind of buddist monk of being real chill forever after
Chill forever like Luang Pho Daeng?
2:04 I like how Virgil stepped up. He didn't give one flipping damn about Ike being a Cowboy.
This movie is about as close to perfection as you can get.
Kurt Russel, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliot. Their performances, if shot today, would have one Oscar’s back to back

Just a great movie! Can watch it over and over!
kilmer's acting overshadows everything in this film, but credit should be given to the guy playing Clanton. I think he delivers an excellent performance too.
Doc takes a lot from Wyatt. I think it's because Wyatt knows where the line is and Doc knows he's doing what he does out of friendship.
There are few performances in cinematic history that will stand out a hundred years from now. Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine in "Casablanca".

You have to appreciate the acting of the guy playing the cowboy there with Ike! Love how he tries to be the level-headed peace maker by offering Virgil a quick handshake but is denied. Then he slaps his hand on the bar and puts his head down like "dammit here we go" haha God I love this movie!!
