Doc Holliday was the last person on the planet any of the cowboys wanted to face in a fight. They all knew he simply didn't care about getting killed in a gunfight. He was the best educated person in Tombstone as a dentist and knew full well his number was up because of tuberculosis. He was a walking ghost and knew he'd be dead before he was 40 one way or the other.
I love that Doc already knows he's a dead man because of his TB so he just goes absolutely all-in, like he always does when he's playing cards. Man has one priority: protect his friend.
A man with his back against the wall and nothing to lose is like a cornered animal, they'll fight like a wildcat to the death with no fear. In his mind, he's already dead.
@@Randomyoutubecommenter That was an aspect of his character. The real Doc Holiday suffered from serious health issues. Val Kilmer was struck by throat cancer quite recently.
The "oh my God", was just amazing. An absolutely amazing reaction. It captures the sentiment of the situation, encompasses all of his understanding, abilities to read, and intuition, all in a simple statement. Just excellent.
PS Tombstone's version of the OK Corral fight is definitely much more factual than in Doc, but overall Doc still affected me more on an emotional level. At least we're not seeing any more ridiculous distortions of that gunfight, such as in My Darling Clementine 🤔
@@buckmelanoma2200 that was the catalyst that started the fight. BIlly didn't like Doc winking and you see his expression change, and Wyatt sees that and knows it's all about to go down.
Funny thing is in real life the friendship between them falled out because Wyatt saw a Jewish girl and fell in love with her and Doc called him a Jewboy
Rest in Peace Bill Paxton. The only man to be killed by a Terminator, Alien, Predator, and Cowboy Gangster in history! If Bill was in the Movie you already knew it was going to be a good'n. Love From England
Don’t forget, Lance Henriksen has the same honour: killed by: a Terminator, an Alien, a Predator, and Gene Hackman (a cowboy gangster if ever there was one) in ‘The Quick and The Dead’.
The faithfulness to an historic event, the accuracy of the script, the rigorous attention to detail, the authenticity of the set, the clothes, the guns, the skillful camera work, the superb acting, make this not just a great western but one of the greatest films of all time - of ANY genre.
It's an excellent film, the script and acting are phenomenal, it's well shot and the visuals - from the set to the costume design - are quite good. The attention to detail is on point and the actors gave some of their best performances. However, I do feel the need to mention that Tombstone is historical fiction at best. The film does a mostly good job of adapting complex and sometimes disconnected historical events into a cohesive narrative, but it also takes considerable liberties in doing so and significantly exaggerates certain events. Virgil was arguably the more famous and tenured lawman than Wyatt when they arrived in tombstone. Doc Holliday most likely only ever killed about three people, and Wyatt Earp's Vendetta ride killed less than 10 Cowboys. Virgil and Morgan were attacked months apart. I don't think Mattie and Josephine ever met. The list goes on - again, I absolutely love this movie, and adjusting the timing and relatedness of events to tell and compelling story is often necessary when translating historical events into a 2-3 hour adventure, but let's not pretend this film is a great historical 101 on the Earp's lives. It's like 300 - an historically inspired banger of a film. To get the real story, you'll want to start with Wikipedia and then move on to a book or two (there are a bunch of good ones).
A quick example of the complex relationship between historical accuracy and narrative liberty in this film - Johnny Ringo was a real person affiliated with the Cochise County Cowboys. He and Doc Holliday did appear to hate each other and both got arrested once as they were preparing for a gunfight in Tombstone. Ringo was suspected of involvement in the attacks on Virgil and Morgan Earp. However, we don't know who killed Ringo. His death was ruled a suicide, though various speculations are out there about Holliday's or Wyatt Earp's involvement. He was shot in the head at a steep 45 degree angle, as seen in the film, but in the right temple, not the left. The film is pretty much like that all the way through. If you picked up a good book on Tombstone, the Earps, Holliday, and the Coshise County Cowboys, everything in it would be very familiar, but nearly all of details would be different in one way or another. I think Tombstone is excellent historical fiction and one of the best western films ever made, but the true story is just as interesting and more complicated than a 2 ish hour film can accurately depict.
@@RetchedKat Wikipedia is the last place I would go for any information. Any idiot can contribute nonsense to that site from personal attacks on biographies to complete falshoods in history.
@@RetchedKat thank you for saving me the trouble of writing a response. Tombstone captures the 'feel' of the town at that time, but is in no way 'historical'.
Val was amazing but let's not forget that this movie had possibly the greatest ensemble cast of all time and they all played their roles to absolute max. Credit where it's due folks.
I was about 18 years old when this came out. Me and a friend decided to catch a movie one day. We had no prior info on this film and we decided at the counter to see this movie. We walked out of the theater in awe. Just a fantastic film all around.
Notice that the Earp brothers turn to look at the burning building but Doc doesn’t, Kilmer played with such badass attitude. How he wasn’t even nominated for a Oscar is absolutely criminal.
What makes it even more outrageous is that some other guy got a nomination for playing doc Holiday in another movie the same year. Nobody remembers who that was. The oscars have always been political.
“You dont have to get mixed up in this” “that is a hell of a thing for you to say to me” i think this has to do with how they first met in dodge city when doc saved wyatt’s life in a poker hall
Doc definitely wins the MVP award for this shootout. -Singlehandedly takes out a guy who is using his horse as a shield with the shotgun AND without killing the horse. -Definitely seems to do most of the damage helping Wyatt finish off Billy with his revolver. -Keeps a sneak attack from Ike at bay, thus saving his wounded teammates. -Doesn't get hit by any enemy fire himself. -Gets a "little" careless at the end, but still puts a bullet in the guy's chest and sets up Morgan's game finishing headshot. -And also of course...he managed to find a way to unlock the unlimited ammo perk lol
Doc actually got hit by a bullet in his side, although it only grazed his skin, Wyatt Earp was the only one (besides Billy Claiborne and Ike Clanton who both ran out since neither had weapons) to survive the fight unscathed.
@@jibulous1 Wow ! i dont think so...but sadly may be true-ish.......You get to a point where your life is so shit ..you do not care...but you have an anti-suicide taboo-perhaps religious (or a mission in life that u have a kinda calling to fulfull, something significant to pass on that u haven't finished, perhaps even not finished in order to stay alive ..that keeps u going.........-perhaps i am projecting here)
IF anyone gives a shite ,i had a course or steroids & am now able to have enough breathe to write these words.....best wishes to y'all (check out Dr.Kory & iver-me-ctin all one word)
I love how at 2:00 when the Earp brothers freeze and say halt, doc just keeps walking at them without even flinching, even shrugged the jacket off. Doc was the coldest
Doc know he is a dead Men walking, he has Schwindsucht ( sorry don´t know the english word for it) Thats why he can act so cool, when you read hes biographic, you will unterstoot this person
I love that the Earp brothers stop and get super cautious when that one cowboy reaches for his gun, meanwhile Doc takes another 10 steps cause he just doesn’t care lol
Can we just take a second to appreciate the use of music in this scene? The extremely minimalistic undertones of that high violin string and low bass note as the tension builds, letting the natural sound effects be clearly heard, followed by the quivering, sinister descent of the single high note into a crashing crescendo as the final straw breaks and the fight starts... Gives me chills every single time I watch this scene. Superb movie from the top to the bottom.
@Just Me Doc knew he was a dead man and it's real hard to kill a dead man. He'd rather die in a gunfight than waste away from tuberculosis, but nobody was good enough to take him down.
Wyatt is like well give doc shotgun, virgil is like fine and morgan likes fuck and doc Is just chillen having a good time like nothing's even happening
@Just Me Big Nose Kate Kate was the eldest of eleven children of the doctor Michael Haroney and his second wife Katharina Baldizar Haroney. She received extensive training, so she mastered Hungarian, French, Spanish and English. From 1862, her father was the personal physician of the future Mexican Emperor Maximilian I. She lived in Mexico City until 1865. Her mother died on March 26, 1865, and her father two months later. The remaining family fled after Maximilian's disempowerment and execution in 1867 to Davenport, Iowa.
@Just Me Reminds me of something that Clint Eastwood's character in Unforgiven says to the kid after he ( the kid ) kills a man for the first time. The kid says, ''he had it coming"". Clint's character replies, ''we all got it comin' kid"".
The absolute best thing about this scene is the start when they're all walking. The almost deafening silence combined with the ominous background music and the chaos ensuing behind the four as they walk so assuredly is amazing. This scene along with the Train Station scene from The Untouchables should be taught in any film class when teaching the art of suspense, honestly.
Ole doc was blood son see pressure is over well to over pressure u must go back to the beginning and say this me this is yall and clinge on to a belief that's not possible or maybe a smigieon if u ever get help of that u can help folks in ways that obtain a warning label cause without the folks that me geez hell the old me wouldn't have lasted a night cure dog shit that's a fact with belief in whatever u bow to
It's just amazing that after all these years this movie is still a phenomenon and the huge following it still has. Amazing historical film. I was also a huge Bill Paxton fan, it's so sad he's gone.
"Hold! Not what I want" Always, always, alwaaays loved how when the rest of them from both groups grabbed their guns and stopped..Doc was the only one who kept walking, threw his jacket off using his shoulders and never removed his aim..this was exactly what Doc wanted!!!! Bad ass!!!!!!
Such a great scene, the way they show everyone's face up close that is some incredible acting. You can see how nervous and scared Morgan is but how hard he's trying to hide it, how Virgil is calm and experienced so he forces is nerves down and plants himself firmly to face them. How Wyatt is studying the face of each cowboy for signs of what they'll do, the blonde one has the best expressions from their side. He looks confused at first but his temper overtakes him when Doc antagonizes him - something none of the Earps can see happening. Doc knew exactly what he was doing and it's possible Doc had already made up his mind about killing him when he interrupted Doc while he was playing the piano
Eh, they literally just repeated the same shot a few times. The shootout at the OK coral was actually pretty short, so they do all sorts of editing trickery to make it seem longer. After the first shot that spooked the horse, he then hits the cowboy. he goes flying in the air, and then the "third shot" is just the second shot just at a different angle. After all, I doubt that in 0.5 seconds, the Cowboy managed to stand back up his feet, so he could get shot a second time, and then go flying again.
Infernocanuck you’re right, I didn’t notice that. I must have assumed he hit another guy after that but it really does look like the same shot from a different angle
The movie was largely fictional, but John "Doc" Holliday WAS known to be truly dangerous, because he was dying of tuberculosis anyway, so he really had nothing to lose.
The most surprising thing about this scene is that it's the most accurate depiction of "the gunfight at the O.K. coral" in cinema. Even the lines they say are taken from court testimony of the events. They even got Doc ending the fight by saying, "You're daisy if you do..." then blasting away one of the cowboys at the same time Morgan gets the headshot.
Sorry, it is not the most accurate depiction of the fight at the OK corral. All of that at the beginning up to the point of Ike Clanton running up to Wyatt is good. Once Wyatt tell Ike to, "Get to fighting or get away", After that it's all bs. Ike did not smash through the door of Fly's Photo studio and get Behan's gun and start shooting. He was actually seen running away from the shoot out scared out of his mind. Overall though, it is one of the best shoot outs filmed but only 50% accurate.
@@davidedington5426 Eye-witness reports from the court hearing said Ike run into the salon, later on the Earp’s said that shots were fired from the Salon where Ike run into. Also, the part where one of the cowboys tried to hide behind a horse and fire was also reported by eyewitnesses, so was the final scene where Doc shoots the cowboy after saying ”You’re Daisy is you do.” Even the part at the end where Whyte refuses to be arrested and tells the sheriff, ”I don’t feel like being arrested today,” that’s also in the court testimony. Yes, this is the most accurate depiction I’ve found in cinema, I’ve actually read the court testimonies so I can vouch for that.
@@ardibetrayal3493 single shot revolvers had to have their hammers cocked each time which means the cylinders revolved to the next chamber before you could pull the trigger. But if you held the trigger down, you could "fan" the action of the hammer to constantly cycle the cylinder.
@@ardibetrayal3493 it’d be pretty much useless for fanning because your either going to be shooting too slow when you’re pulling the hammer back or if you’re constantly pulling the trigger and letting go then it’d be even more inaccurate with the gun jerking around
It was a fairly brave move of Stephen Lang to play someone as utterly despicable as Ike Clanton. Excellent work amongst a whole panorama of brilliantly drawn characters.
This scene is just fantastic. They gave Doc the shotgun because he would use it best and he did. Not only did he put himself closer than the rest but he stepped over to the side. Now the outlaws were left with a tough decision. Do I go after the big gun and face the firing squad or do I go after the firing squad and face the big gun. Kilmers wink is kind of an "we gotcha now"
I'm going to respectfully disagree. He fired the first barrel 10 seconds after the first pistol shot (and he had the shotgun up, ready and pointed). This first shot was in the air. The 2nd barrel came 5 seconds after that and hit someone. Basically after pointing a double barrel shotgun directly at a group of shooters it took him 15 seconds to drop someone 'point blank'. Would have been better if he just left the shotgun at home and drew his pistols. This is of COURSE Hollywood since they didn't want the scene to end in 10 seconds. Regardless, the 'shotgun' scene wasn't his shining moment....
@@289cobra9 when talking to the masses, you want to use verbiage that everyone would understand. Although you are correct with your “correction”, but some people could not discern between when one says “bullet” or when one says “shell” sounds like you just want to correct somebody? Is that all you read from that? Are you just a ball buster for a living?
I was a police officer in Glenwood Springs, co, where Doc's grave is. It's just up the hill above the city, and teens like to party there. I think Doc would approve
@@JBliehall the second shot was shown from two different angles. You'll notice when the fight begins the cowboys are shot and fall backwards. You see them falling again in another scene. It's the same scene just shown ftom another camera angle. Doc has more than one gun as well.
The most “badass” gunfight in cinema history. And the music accompanying the scene is just brilliant as well. The cast of the film played their parts sensationally, which is what made this film soooo good. Almost like four undertakers coming to collect the bodies of the deceased All in all, bloody awesome.....
just them walking in front of that burning building sends chills through me. the low music, the silence...the ultimate badass moment in any movie. it shows that they are a force to be reckoned with. its perfect.
Apparently that's how it really went down, too. I think it was Virgil's wife who stated that in the book she wrote detailing these events, and that was the inspiration for that scene. That makes it even more badass in my opinion!
Also the meaning behind the burning house, the beginning of the movie when the priest said the four horsemen would come for the cowboys and hell following them, then the three Earps and Doc with the flames behind them such a great addition to the film
A great scene with great acting. All in a great movie. Tombstone is arguably one of the best Westerns ever made. And unfortunately critics didn't think much of it. Val Kilmers incredible performance is the only thing anyone ever talks about. But everyone gives a great performance. I mean, Ike is being played by Quaritch himself, Stephen Lang. What a transformation. What dedication.
It was a good line but also infused with a lot of sexual meaning in the sense that Wyatt Earp was saying in code something like, “Finally today we can all be free, gay and happy together.” The exchange of the “walking stick” for the “shot gun” says it all. I really admire the bravery of the director who emphasized these subtle but historically accurate moments of true, deep liberation. You’re a daisy if you do!
Mr October Yes! There are also a lot of fun stories from the set as well on this theme. Kurt Russell was in awe of Sam Elliott’s gay icon stature and really wanted to build up the tension between all the men characters. He would contestantly say on set that he wanted the taste of “Man Huckleberry” in his mouth 24/7 as they were filming as it would make him feel the deeper male energy that initially brought these men together in the wild west (where women folk were quite scarce). Elliott would reportedly replied, “You can plant my huckleberry anytime, Kurt...” Talk about Method Acting skills!
Ah, the 24/7 man-mouth story has been going around Hollywood for years! This is why so many people joke around and call him Banana Breath (or just BB). It really was amazing method acting. Right after Tombstone Sam and Kurt wanted to keep the vibe rolling so they put a lot of their own money into making an underground gay Japanese Western called “Bald Gorilla Spits Cream at Tomato Eye” (rough translation of course). On the set of “Gorilla” Sam apparently slapped around the catering staff (as usual) and forced them into tea bag position. He tipped them, big-time. The film was only shown independently and only something like 3-5 copies remain. Rumour has it Lawrence Kasdan has a copy and keeps threatening Kurt to release it in exchange for dates with Goldie Hawn. lol.
That "OMG" from Wyatt was perfectly written for this scene. One because he knew all hell was about to break loose and because he knew the havoc it would cause once it did!! Perfect!!
@@TheHammer89 Much as I love Val Kilmer in this movie, I can't agree that he was robbed of an Oscar. The Best Supporting Actor nominees for that year were Martin Landau (winner) for Ed Wood, Samuel L. Jackson for Pulp Fiction, Chaz Palminteri for Bullets over Broadway, Paul Scofield for Quiz Show, and Gary Sinese for Forrest Gump. I might quibble over Scofield's nomination, but the others were all outstanding performances.
Fun fact, @ 1:25 you can see Wyatt take his pistol out of his holster and put it in his jacket pocket - this is actually historically accurate to the real gunfight. It's what allows him to pull his pistol out so quickly and shoot first.
@@I_Hate_Craig Wild Wyatt Earp lover came in alone to trash on Tombstone. The 3rd shotgun shot was clearly another angle of the same shot that took the guy out. Everyone but you seems to understand this, why is that?
@@daltonturner3113 Because why would a western during the pivotal gun fight scene show an instant replay of one kill right in the middle? No other western I have ever seen has done this, because it’s stupid. Either Holliday shoots off 3 shotgun blasts or there is an instant replay for no real reason. And this still doesn’t explain the 20 or so pistol shots Holliday gets off. Is that instant replay as well? It’s just poor cinematography.
Fun fact: During the real gunfight, Wyatt was the only one who didn't move, and had a number of bullets fly past him, plus he had the presence of mind to calmly aim at his targets.
@@georgestokes5116 If you're interested read Wyatt Earp. By Casey Tefertiller. These details of the shooting were also told to reporter's and authorized biographies from the Earp family members in the 1920s. Wyatt Earp told Stuart Lake that his coat had bullets pass through that day.
The real beauty of this movie and this scene is that all those portraying the characters will make you believe that is how they really looked and acted.
This is actually the most accurate depiction of the gunfight at the OK corral in cinema. The events of this scene are taken nearly beat for beat by court testimonies from eyewitnesses. They got this part spot on, even the lines they say are from eye witness testimonies and so is who shot who and how the gunfight played out. So yeah, this part of the film is as accurate as they could make it.
Sam Elliott's portrayal in this film reminds me so much of my grandfather. tough, strong moral compass, suffers no fools, but lots of empathy and a romantic
The Director's Cut is seriously a must-have for anyone who loves this film. I only own the Director's Cut, so to learn that such a line was taken out is outrageous!
Fun fact in real life Wyatt was to only one in the shootout who didn't get shot once. He was also the only one who never moved when the bullets started flying
This was how Wyatt Earp worked. He had a saying, "Fast is fine but accuracy is final". He didnt go in for all the fancy gunplay. He just drew, aimed and when he was sure he'd hit, he fired. He had both big brass balls and a lot of luck. Truth be told though, Wyatt didn't kill that many men. I think the total was 3. He much preferred to just kick their ass, like he did Billy Bob Thorton in that bar.
One of my top ten favorite westerns. Great cast, fast-paced, and shows the absolute violent nature of the times and the type of lawmen that were needed to squash it. Historians will debate whether Wyatt Earp was truly a hero, a villain, or a bit of both, but he did what he had to do when pushed to do it. This movie also seems to combine the classic "Gunfight at the OK Corral" with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas and "Hour of the Gun" with James Garner and Jason Robards, both movies showing before and after this classic fight.
@@rogeredwarrddeshon5000 Frank, I think? He was the one that said "I got you now you son of a bitch", but when he turned that's cause he was grazed by the bullet. He shot Frank in the shoulder if I'm correct, but Morgan got the last shot and got him in the head

You need to watch the interview with Michael Bein on Tombstone, He explains that in depth, It's a great interview and story how Doc & Ringo literally stole the show
@@doc25000 i think Behin and Kilmer stole the show. Their chemistry is fascinating to watch. I have always thought that the two characters, at least in the movie, mirrored one another.

I don't think Mattie and Josephine ever met. The list goes on - again, I absolutely love this movie, and adjusting the timing and relatedness of events to tell and compelling story is often necessary when translating historical events into a 2-3 hour adventure, but let's not pretend this film is a great historical 101 on the Earp's lives. It's like 300 - an historically inspired banger of a film. To get the real story, you'll want to start with Wikipedia and then move on to a book or two (there are a bunch of good ones).
A quick example of the complex relationship between historical accuracy and narrative liberty in this film - Johnny Ringo was a real person affiliated with the Cochise County Cowboys. He and Doc Holliday did appear to hate each other and both got arrested once as they were preparing for a gunfight in Tombstone. Ringo was suspected of involvement in the attacks on Virgil and Morgan Earp. However, we don't know who killed Ringo. His death was ruled a suicide, though various speculations are out there about Holliday's or Wyatt Earp's involvement.

The film is pretty much like that all the way through. If you picked up a good book on Tombstone, the Earps, Holliday, and the Coshise County Cowboys, everything in it would be very familiar, but nearly all of details would be different in one way or another. I think Tombstone is excellent historical fiction and one of the best western films ever made, but the true story is just as interesting and more complicated than a 2 ish hour film can accurately depict.

Val was amazing but let's not forget that this movie had possibly the greatest ensemble cast of all time and they all played their roles to absolute max. Credit where it's due folks.
I wouldn't say of all time. There are plenty of films with such casts. Great films!
You're right, WOW! Great macho men on the screen.
Not him. He's in his prime.
THE GREATEST ENSEMBLE CAST OF ALL TIME??? 🤔🙄😒, I think you are gettin' carried away there, its a great cast, yes, but of ALL time, erm, NO ooooo!!
I was about 18 years old when this came out. Me and a friend decided to catch a movie one day. We had no prior info on this film and we decided at the counter to see this movie. We walked out of the theater in awe. Just a fantastic film all around.
Notice that the Earp brothers turn to look at the burning building but Doc doesn’t, Kilmer played with such badass attitude. How he wasn’t even nominated for a Oscar is absolutely criminal.
What do expect from Hollywood soyboys..
I agree with you Aaron Moran he should have got a Oscar .An excellent film 👍👍
He would've if he had a better mustache
Brian Martin Stach gets on the way when eating Panocha
What makes it even more outrageous is that some other guy got a nomination for playing doc Holiday in another movie the same year. Nobody remembers who that was. The oscars have always been political.
I love how Doc was true to himself and never judged his friends, but was always there.
He'd drive a bronco for you.
“You dont have to get mixed up in this”
“that is a hell of a thing for you to say to me”
i think this has to do with how they first met in dodge city when doc saved wyatt’s life in a poker hall
Doc is the friend everyone hopes to have
Doc was a great friend to wyatt and his brothers

Virgil: determined
Wyatt: apprehensive

Yes,Doc Holliday wasn't far away from going on a Permanent Holiday. He could shoot real good. 🥃⚰
Hotel: Trivago
“You’re a daisy if you do”
virgil would be on a killing spree if not for his brother lol
Doc definitely wins the MVP award for this shootout.
-Singlehandedly takes out a guy who is using his horse as a shield with the shotgun AND without killing the horse.
-Definitely seems to do most of the damage helping Wyatt finish off Billy with his revolver.
-Keeps a sneak attack from Ike at bay, thus saving his wounded teammates.
-Doesn't get hit by any enemy fire himself.
-Gets a "little" careless at the end, but still puts a bullet in the guy's chest and sets up Morgan's game finishing headshot.
-And also of course...he managed to find a way to unlock the unlimited ammo perk lol
It's those pearl handled 24 shooters that do it for me.
Doc actually got hit by a bullet in his side, although it only grazed his skin, Wyatt Earp was the only one (besides Billy Claiborne and Ike Clanton who both ran out since neither had weapons) to survive the fight unscathed.
From what I've read in real life he actually flanked the horse and blasted the poor sod with both barrels

In his mind he had nothing to lose, so he's the most dangerous by default
Iconic image the way they're bent forward, arm out stretched
the coldest IST hard ONE
Doc know he is a dead Men walking, he has Schwindsucht ( sorry don´t know the english word for it)
Thats why he can act so cool, when you read hes biographic, you will unterstoot this person
he also knew nobody could do anything about it if they did have a problem with it.
I love that the Earp brothers stop and get super cautious when that one cowboy reaches for his gun, meanwhile Doc takes another 10 steps cause he just doesn’t care lol
I always found that amusing that he did
I was a Medic in the Army years back. When I met Val Kilmer at a Con I had him sign a photo from this movie as "To Doc from Doc"
How nice that is. You still have that foto?
Can we just take a second to appreciate the use of music in this scene? The extremely minimalistic undertones of that high violin string and low bass note as the tension builds, letting the natural sound effects be clearly heard, followed by the quivering, sinister descent of the single high note into a crashing crescendo as the final straw breaks and the fight starts...
Gives me chills every single time I watch this scene.
Superb movie from the top to the bottom.
Wyatt is stoic, Virgil is not messing around, and Morgan is nervous. Meanwhile, Doc: *lol like I give a fuck haha*
@Just Me Doc knew he was a dead man and it's real hard to kill a dead man. He'd rather die in a gunfight than waste away from tuberculosis, but nobody was good enough to take him down.
He was casually whistling on the way to his potential death.
Wyatt is like well give doc shotgun, virgil is like fine and morgan likes fuck and doc Is just chillen having a good time like nothing's even happening
@Just Me Big Nose Kate
Kate was the eldest of eleven children of the doctor Michael Haroney and his second wife Katharina Baldizar Haroney. She received extensive training, so she mastered Hungarian, French, Spanish and English. From 1862, her father was the personal physician of the future Mexican Emperor Maximilian I. She lived in Mexico City until 1865. Her mother died on March 26, 1865, and her father two months later. The remaining family fled after Maximilian's disempowerment and execution in 1867 to Davenport, Iowa.
@Just Me Reminds me of something that Clint Eastwood's character in Unforgiven says to the kid after he ( the kid ) kills a man for the first time. The kid says, ''he had it coming"". Clint's character replies, ''we all got it comin' kid"".
The absolute best thing about this scene is the start when they're all walking. The almost deafening silence combined with the ominous background music and the chaos ensuing behind the four as they walk so assuredly is amazing. This scene along with the Train Station scene from The Untouchables should be taught in any film class when teaching the art of suspense, honestly.
Ole doc was blood son see pressure is over well to over pressure u must go back to the beginning and say this me this is yall and clinge on to a belief that's not possible or maybe a smigieon if u ever get help of that u can help folks in ways that obtain a warning label cause without the folks that me geez hell the old me wouldn't have lasted a night cure dog shit that's a fact with belief in whatever u bow to

It's just amazing that after all these years this movie is still a phenomenon and the huge following it still has. Amazing historical film. I was also a huge Bill Paxton fan, it's so sad he's gone.
"Hold! Not what I want" Always, always, alwaaays loved how when the rest of them from both groups grabbed their guns and stopped..Doc was the only one who kept walking, threw his jacket off using his shoulders and never removed his aim..this was exactly what Doc wanted!!!! Bad ass!!!!!!
No
Hot rods
It doesn’t get talked about enough!!! That was exactly what Doc holiday wanted and he was gonna get it.
@@Bpoatyup!!!!
Such a great scene, the way they show everyone's face up close that is some incredible acting. You can see how nervous and scared Morgan is but how hard he's trying to hide it, how Virgil is calm and experienced so he forces is nerves down and plants himself firmly to face them. How Wyatt is studying the face of each cowboy for signs of what they'll do, the blonde one has the best expressions from their side. He looks confused at first but his temper overtakes him when Doc antagonizes him - something none of the Earps can see happening.
Doc knew exactly what he was doing and it's possible Doc had already made up his mind about killing him when he interrupted Doc while he was playing the piano
💯
Xcept doc shhots 3 times from a double barrel 10 guage greener. Once to scare the horse, one to the ribs, one to the stomach
You know, Frederick fucking Chopin? That had me rolling 😂😂😂
You have to watch some Sergio Leone westerns. He popularized that technique in Westerns.
That was just the editing@@davidrauch7896
Doc is so good with that double barrel shotgun he got three shots out of it.
😂
Eh, they literally just repeated the same shot a few times. The shootout at the OK coral was actually pretty short, so they do all sorts of editing trickery to make it seem longer. After the first shot that spooked the horse, he then hits the cowboy. he goes flying in the air, and then the "third shot" is just the second shot just at a different angle. After all, I doubt that in 0.5 seconds, the Cowboy managed to stand back up his feet, so he could get shot a second time, and then go flying again.
Infernocanuck you’re right, I didn’t notice that. I must have assumed he hit another guy after that but it really does look like the same shot from a different angle
Let me introduce the LeMat Double Barrell Shotgun
Infernocanuck the second shot is held up to his eye and the third shot is hipfire
I loved how they were all afraid of Doc. The Earps didn’t bother them but they were terrified of Doc.
The movie was largely fictional, but John "Doc" Holliday WAS known to be truly dangerous, because he was dying of tuberculosis anyway, so he really had nothing to lose.
@@gurnblanston3210 I agree. Doc Holiday was a cold blooded killer, that's all there is to it💁♂️
That wink and wyatt's response to the face change gets me every time.
The most surprising thing about this scene is that it's the most accurate depiction of "the gunfight at the O.K. coral" in cinema. Even the lines they say are taken from court testimony of the events. They even got Doc ending the fight by saying, "You're daisy if you do..." then blasting away one of the cowboys at the same time Morgan gets the headshot.
Sorry, it is not the most accurate depiction of the fight at the OK corral. All of that at the beginning up to the point of Ike Clanton running up to Wyatt is good. Once Wyatt tell Ike to, "Get to fighting or get away", After that it's all bs. Ike did not smash through the door of Fly's Photo studio and get Behan's gun and start shooting. He was actually seen running away from the shoot out scared out of his mind.
Overall though, it is one of the best shoot outs filmed but only 50% accurate.
@@davidedington5426
Eye-witness reports from the court hearing said Ike run into the salon, later on the Earp’s said that shots were fired from the Salon where Ike run into. Also, the part where one of the cowboys tried to hide behind a horse and fire was also reported by eyewitnesses, so was the final scene where Doc shoots the cowboy after saying ”You’re Daisy is you do.” Even the part at the end where Whyte refuses to be arrested and tells the sheriff, ”I don’t feel like being arrested today,” that’s also in the court testimony.
Yes, this is the most accurate depiction I’ve found in cinema, I’ve actually read the court testimonies so I can vouch for that.
@@davidedington5426 you should present tons of evidence before you says its not 100% accurate...ok we will waiting for your evidence
@@maximocristobalvaldespino5408 fine, let's be accurate for effect

Doc fanning his revolver is one of the sickest things ever
Specially cool since it has more bullets than a Glock
@@qqq386 does it still call fanning if we pull the trigger instead hold the trigger each hammer pulled ?
@@ardibetrayal3493 single shot revolvers had to have their hammers cocked each time which means the cylinders revolved to the next chamber before you could pull the trigger. But if you held the trigger down, you could "fan" the action of the hammer to constantly cycle the cylinder.
@@jeffburnham6611 can you cocked the hammer with Fanning technique and shoot by pull the trigger is that ok ?
@@ardibetrayal3493 it’d be pretty much useless for fanning because your either going to be shooting too slow when you’re pulling the hammer back or if you’re constantly pulling the trigger and letting go then it’d be even more inaccurate with the gun jerking around
Every character was played immensely well in this film
"That is a hell of thing for you to say to me" might be my favorite line of the movie, and I'm sad it didn't make the cut.
It was a fairly brave move of Stephen Lang to play someone as utterly despicable as Ike Clanton. Excellent work amongst a whole panorama of brilliantly drawn characters.
Lang also made a choice to be drunk in every one of his scenes. Awesome method acting!!
This scene is just fantastic. They gave Doc the shotgun because he would use it best and he did. Not only did he put himself closer than the rest but he stepped over to the side. Now the outlaws were left with a tough decision. Do I go after the big gun and face the firing squad or do I go after the firing squad and face the big gun. Kilmers wink is kind of an "we gotcha now"
Not to mention docs ability to fire three shots from a double barrel shotgun
@@bq1013 Absolutely, and firing 12 shots from a six-shooter (right hand)
I'm going to respectfully disagree. He fired the first barrel 10 seconds after the first pistol shot (and he had the shotgun up, ready and pointed). This first shot was in the air. The 2nd barrel came 5 seconds after that and hit someone. Basically after pointing a double barrel shotgun directly at a group of shooters it took him 15 seconds to drop someone 'point blank'. Would have been better if he just left the shotgun at home and drew his pistols. This is of COURSE Hollywood since they didn't want the scene to end in 10 seconds. Regardless, the 'shotgun' scene wasn't his shining moment....
@@bq1013 the third shot is just the second shot shown again from a different angle.
So the real Doc Holliday was supposedly a very fast draw/shot but not exceptionally accurate. Which would make the shotgun a good weapon for him.
An instant classic when it opened in theaters and still is! Russell and Kilmer: casting genius!
Love it when Wyatt and Doc walk away together and the crowd parts in fear and awe.
If a fight ever breaks out next to you, remember Kurt’s line from this movie, “the fight’s commenced. Either get to fightin or get away.”
0:15 after Doc checks the shotgun to make sure there where bullets in it. And then it goes into the drum roll beat. Amazing
Shells.
@@289cobra9 when talking to the masses, you want to use verbiage that everyone would understand.

I caught that too. & when he kills Ringo he fires like 12 shots lmao, double the capacity of his 6 shooter
The most “badass” gunfight in cinema history. And the music accompanying the scene is just brilliant as well. The cast of the film played their parts sensationally, which is what made this film soooo good.
Almost like four undertakers coming to collect the bodies of the deceased
All in all, bloody awesome.....
I love Vals smirk when he tells them to give him the shotgun.
just them walking in front of that burning building sends chills through me. the low music, the silence...the ultimate badass moment in any movie. it shows that they are a force to be reckoned with. its perfect.
Apparently that's how it really went down, too. I think it was Virgil's wife who stated that in the book she wrote detailing these events, and that was the inspiration for that scene. That makes it even more badass in my opinion!
Also the meaning behind the burning house, the beginning of the movie when the priest said the four horsemen would come for the cowboys and hell following them, then the three Earps and Doc with the flames behind them such a great addition to the film
I've never thought about this! That's amazing.
Good call.
A great scene with great acting. All in a great movie. Tombstone is arguably one of the best Westerns ever made. And unfortunately critics didn't think much of it. Val Kilmers incredible performance is the only thing anyone ever talks about. But everyone gives a great performance.
I mean, Ike is being played by Quaritch himself, Stephen Lang. What a transformation. What dedication.
Love how Wyatt mumbles “ oh my God” and then all begin drawing their weapons and hell breaks loose
"They'll be less apt to get nervy if (Doc's) on the street howitzer".
Street howitzer - I love it!
Wyatt Earp: "I don't think I'll let you arrest us today, Beehan." Awesome line.
It was a good line but also infused with a lot of sexual meaning in the sense that Wyatt Earp was saying in code something like, “Finally today we can all be free, gay and happy together.” The exchange of the “walking stick” for the “shot gun” says it all. I really admire the bravery of the director who emphasized these subtle but historically accurate moments of true, deep liberation. You’re a daisy if you do!
@@cavendishlung-sukki1082 You are sick..👎👎👎
@@cavendishlung-sukki1082 Haha. This movie deals deftly with themes of homosexuality and impotence in the pre-viagra era.
Mr October
Yes! There are also a lot of fun stories from the set as well on this theme. Kurt Russell was in awe of Sam Elliott’s gay icon stature and really wanted to build up the tension between all the men characters. He would contestantly say on set that he wanted the taste of “Man Huckleberry” in his mouth 24/7 as they were filming as it would make him feel the deeper male energy that initially brought these men together in the wild west (where women folk were quite scarce). Elliott would reportedly replied, “You can plant my huckleberry anytime, Kurt...” Talk about Method Acting skills!
Ah, the 24/7 man-mouth story has been going around Hollywood for years! This is why so many people joke around and call him Banana Breath (or just BB). It really was amazing method acting. Right after Tombstone Sam and Kurt wanted to keep the vibe rolling so they put a lot of their own money into making an underground gay Japanese Western called “Bald Gorilla Spits Cream at Tomato Eye” (rough translation of course). On the set of “Gorilla” Sam apparently slapped around the catering staff (as usual) and forced them into tea bag position. He tipped them, big-time. The film was only shown independently and only something like 3-5 copies remain. Rumour has it Lawrence Kasdan has a copy and keeps threatening Kurt to release it in exchange for dates with Goldie Hawn. lol.
"You're a daisy if you do." LOVE THAT LINE!
Love this! Val Kilmer is awesome! I never get tired of this movie or his devotion to Wyatt ♥️
That "OMG" from Wyatt was perfectly written for this scene. One because he knew all hell was about to break loose and because he knew the havoc it would cause once it did!! Perfect!!

This was, in my opinion, Val Kilmer's best role. I don't think he did anything else worth a damn after Tombstone.
But he himself was robbed of an Oscar.
@@TheHammer89 Much as I love Val Kilmer in this movie, I can't agree that he was robbed of an Oscar. The Best Supporting Actor nominees for that year were Martin Landau (winner) for Ed Wood, Samuel L.

I might quibble over Scofield's nomination, but the others were all outstanding performances.
Fun fact, @ 1:25 you can see Wyatt take his pistol out of his holster and put it in his jacket pocket - this is actually historically accurate to the real gunfight. It's what allows him to pull his pistol out so quickly and shoot first.
Yeah.. but Doc fires 3 shotgun blasts and 20 pistol shots somehow. Historically accurate isn’t how I’d describe this scene

And this still doesn’t explain the 20 or so pistol shots Holliday gets off. Is that instant replay as well? It’s just poor cinematography.

This is actually the most accurate depiction of the gunfight at the OK corral in cinema. The events of this scene are taken nearly beat for beat by court testimonies from eyewitnesses.

Doc was also grazed in the leg by frank Mclaury, so yeah non of the Earp's or doc ever came out of the gunfight that time except Wyatt.
Also Wyatt had the calmness to aim at his opponent before he shot him.
Go slow to go fast
This was how Wyatt Earp worked. He had a saying, "Fast is fine but accuracy is final". He didnt go in for all the fancy gunplay. He just drew, aimed and when he was sure he'd hit, he fired. He had both big brass balls and a lot of luck.
Truth be told though, Wyatt didn't kill that many men. I think the total was 3. He much preferred to just kick their ass, like he did Billy Bob Thorton in that bar.
@@Elthenar Wyatt hated killing though. He preferred to settle things either with his fist or the but of his gun.

One of my top ten favorite westerns. Great cast, fast-paced, and shows the absolute violent nature of the times and the type of lawmen that were needed to squash it. Historians will debate whether Wyatt Earp was truly a hero, a villain, or a bit of both, but he did what he had to do when pushed to do it. This movie also seems to combine the classic "Gunfight at the OK Corral" with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas and "Hour of the Gun" with James Garner and Jason Robards, both movies showing before and after this classic fight.

Yes!!
Who was Doc aiming at when he fired?
@@rogeredwarrddeshon5000 Frank, I think? He was the one that said "I got you now you son of a bitch", but when he turned that's cause he was grazed by the bullet. He shot Frank in the shoulder if I'm correct, but Morgan got the last shot and got him in the head
Doc had 1 bullet and thought he was gonna get him but he only grazed him and Morgan's bullet hit him in the head
Doc shot him in the heart
That's what he's clutching as lies there dead
This movie is a masterpiece,like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

@@garrettclayton4741 Yeah, the 1800s had "floral language". Doc uses it often. A daisy is "the best at" something, while a huckleberry is a Pallbearer... now how smart is that line "Im you're huckleberry... why Johnny Ringo, you look like someone just walked OVER YOUR GRAVE".
I would like to say that too but gunfights are a rarity nowadays but stepping up for someone being bullied is the perfect situation.
@@thexteam1231 correction ,that is not what was meant by "huckleberry"....also it is extremely unlikely that he killed Ringo (who wasnt a famous gunfighter .....to quote/misquote J. Lennon..when asked if Ringo was the best drummer in the world said ..he is not even the best drummer in the Beatles)
You're a Daisy if you Do....
You're no daisy. You're no daisy at all!
The good old days ,when a daisy was consider ,rightly , as longest living flower......I like flowers & children -in old fashioned innocent way-but i would not even consider cutting their heads off & putting them in an ornamental bowl
You’re no Daisy! You’re no Daisy, at all!
Saw this movie back on November 7th, 2022, and I enjoyed watching it!!😊
Kurt Russell's jaw looks so correct and righteous.
"Give Doc the shotgun"
Top 100 @Hollywood Cinema 📽️ quotes.
Great film. Val was amazing!!
Yes and yes he was.
That OMG at 2:36, was it for me. PERFECT trigger moment captured.
The 3:25 mark when Doc uses that savage quick action on his gun's hammer to put 4 bullets into Billy Clanton before dropping his ass is awesome.
Why do I feel like Doc is the best character in this movie.
Because he is!
Because you are right sometimes. In this case you have done it again.
You need to watch the interview with Michael Bein on Tombstone, He explains that in depth, It's a great interview and story how Doc & Ringo literally stole the show
@@doc25000 i think Behin and Kilmer stole the show. Their chemistry is fascinating to watch. I have always thought that the two characters, at least in the movie, mirrored one another.
Not just a great classic movie, but one that can rank along all time great movies of any genre!
When i saw this for the first time, the black hats and suits got me chills
Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday had incredible charisma in this movie
I'm so glad Doc didn't die by any bullets in the movie, but man, it made me wanna cry when he did die
Loving Man
Val Kilmer was the shining star of this movie
The rest were great as well.
But he was a bad ass
I think curly bill is extremely underrated in this I loved how he was played
Doc was carrying two of those high capacity Single Action Army’s I’ve heard so much about.
Kurt Russell was the fearless, unkillable Earp, a brilliant, true to life portrayal. Val Kilmer, just like Doc, you really wanted on your side. What a lineup, I'd have been shot for chasing after them for autographs....
I live about 20 minutes from tombstone. Seeing this makes me want to take a day trip there walk around. Its been a few years since I've been there.
Do it!
Doc was even faster than the "Waco Kid " when it came to reloading a Street Howitzer and 2 Wheel Guns. Don't blink....
"little bastard shot in the ass!"
The sherif is near?
@@davidjones272 No durn nabbit! The sherriff is a n *BONG*
Doc just whistlin like its just another day.
Doc knew he was already dead due to the tuberculosis. That made him even more dangerous.
“You’re a daisy if you do” love that line
Can’t get enough of this movie I watch it so many times and still is always refreshing
I could watch this movie on a loop and never get tired of it. This movie and red dead redemption 2 are the most digitally perfect things ever made in my opinion. Throw terminator 2 in there for best sequel ever made.
the wink of death...
