Had to go extreme on this one, I know the constant watermarking on everything is annoying; but it's the only way this video didn't get blocked LOL!
LOL! It's all good fellas~! Thanks a TON for the upload. Tombstone is one of my all time favorite movies, and I'm happy you guys managed to get to it. The cast was phenomenal in every part they played. Of course, Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer were my favorites throughout the entire movie, but Sam Elliot, Bill Paxton, Michael Biehn, Billy Zane, and Dana Delany were close seconds. Take care and have a good one fellas~!
P.S.
Also, when you can, I still HIGHLY recommend "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)", "Broken Arrow (1996)", and "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985)" for ya'll to react to. Believe me, you won't be disappointed. 😉👍
Michael Beihn (Ringo) and Bill Paxton have died in a few films together. Michael dies more often than Sean Bean. See Terminator, Aliens, The Rock, etc.
Most peopke think of Billy Bob Thorntonas being a bit of a badass, but I just see him getting slapped. "Are you gonna do something or are you just gonna stand there and bleed?" "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you were there."
Silverado Is another western you guys would like
maybe you could have made it smaller, the watermark lol 😅
@@wrath2667 nope, wouldn't work; we've tried 😂
Val Kilmer should've got an Oscar for this. The fact that he wasn't even nominated was nothing short of CRIMINAL.
Gene Hackman who won this year said Val gave the best performance of the year. The beauty of Hackman shedding light on Kilmer like this was the fact Kilmer wasn't even nominated. Hackman is such a legend for saying this. One great actor recognizing another. Val is The Goat.
@@pablosonic892Yeah, actors today just don't have this kind of class anymore
@@shadowking9739 Agreed
When he says "I have two guns, one for each of ya", and does that trick where he twirls each gun in the opposite direction; he practiced that for like a month just so he could act like he was doing it drunk. Talk about commitment.
I think what happened was they had the right cast but the director got replaced and then Kurt Russell spent most of his time ghost directing what was left to shoot of the film so it created a movie that a bit uneven visually and in tone and it ended up hurting the finished product where even though Val was undeniably great the film underperformed critically so it hurt Val's chances.
Although..... sometimes the Academy can be weird. Their snubbing of Jim Carrey not getting nominated for Man on the Moon and The Truman Show was really odd especially when you consider he WON a Golden Globe for best actor for the latter. The Academy didn't even give him a nomination
Something you missed: When Doc says "I've got 2 guns, 1 for each of you", he spins both guns in OPPOSITE directions.
Which is harder than you might think.
I love the dexterity and practicing that Val Kilmer had to do for that shot.
And he never drops his drinking cup!
... I've seen this movie so many times and IVE NEVER NOTICED THAT HAHA god I love doc
Val Kilmer and Kurt Russell get all of the love in this movie, rightfully so, however, the entire cast is incredible. RIP, Bill Paxton, Powers Boothe, Charlton Heston, and Robert Mitchum.
i found a charlton heston coin that says Bacchus XV
and Billy Bob Thornton in a bit part as the asshole hothead gambler.
Not enough accolade goes to Sam Elliot's magnificent moustache.
Stephen Lang doesn't get nearly enough credit for his playing of Ike.
@@andrewwebb3248 Agreed, Stephen Lang played the part brilliantly. :)
“The rest of them may get me in a rush, but not before I make your head into a canoe.” Such a great line.
I'd take a ride in an Ike canoe
'' I've got two guns. One for each of ya.''
@@bryanprime3438 Yeah, love that one, too.
There's a million quotable lines from this movie.
@@andrewwebb3248 There sure are, Sparky…maybe even two million…but since Wyatt was named after my great, great uncle, and I currently live in a tiny town called Deadwood, where a bunch of local “cowboys” and outlaws are trying to run me out of town, where local police response time is 2 hours, and I sleep with a loaded gun next to my pillow, and a shotgun behind the door…this particular quote has a lot of special significance to me at this moment in my life. 😉🥳
"Hell Doc, I got lots of friends"
"I don't"
Heartbreaking
"I'm your huckleberry."
In my opinion, Val Kilmer's greatest role. His portrayal as Doc Holliday was what made this film. Also, Val Kilmer wasn't even nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar, but he should have been.
Also, the scene where Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) is wading through the river actually happened. There were a dozen men firing all over the place and Wyatt never so much as got grazed.
You can tell the scene was from a true story because it's way too ridiculous to put in a movie, ha ha.
Others may have mentioned it, but Doc wasn't really mocking Ringo by twirling the cup. He showed Ringo how good he actually was and it was at that moment when Ringo became scared of Doc. With Ringo being a trained Gunfighter he noticed that Doc used the cup to match move for move what he had previously done with the gun.
While piss drunk!
And in real life, the gun was weighted to help Michael Biehn twirl it easier. Val Kilmer is known to always twirl stuff through his fingers or over his knuckles. Everyone saw him twirling this prop cup everywhere, while shooting the movie. The actor that played Ringo, tells a great story about it, and how impressive it was that he did the same tricks with an ordinary cup. While Mike had to practice hours to do it with a prop made to spin better and stay on his finger.
He was definitely mocking him. Obviously. But he was also spooking him with ability to match the movements with the cup. A little bit of both I think.
And Doc did it DRUNK as a SKUNK, too
I also think Doc knew that if he went for his gun, Rico would have the “legal rights” to shoot him right there. Behan was right there in the saloon and since he was in the pockets of Curly Bill; would’ve testified that Doc tried to draw on Ringo. And who would the judge believe: an outstanding, respected man of the law (Behan) or a retired, peace-keeper from Dodge City who was accused of horse theft?
A Legendary film, excellent pick.
Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday has to be one of my favorite characters in all of film.
"Make no mistake, it's not revenge he's after, it's a Recokoning"
"Doc, you outta be in bed, what the hell you doin this for anyway?"
"Wyatt Earp is my friend"
"Hell I got lots of friends."
"....I don't"
It’s unfortunately a lot harder to watch Kilmer in this role after his throat cancer.
@@Rmlohner Why is that? You going to invalidate his achievements and make his life worse because he had some sour grapes in life? So I bet now you have a hard time watching Michael J Fox movies too, or Bruce Willis movies? Dude, the guy is making a kickass comeback right now after all those struggles, so celebrate life and success for him instead!
@@Rmlohner Oh and you better stop watching any movie where any of the main cast has died, because it's "harder to watch now that they're dead"! See how ridiculous that mentality is?
@@vovindequasahi I didn't say anything remotely approaching that. I just find it uncomfortable to see him playing a guy with a terminal illness with similar symptoms to one that he'd later have in real life, because of how much I love the guy.
@@Rmlohner Ok I feel you bro. But tubercolusis and throat cancer are completely different beasts. Plus he has fucking beaten the cancer and is now getting back into the game again, so celebrate that instead of feeling sorry for him.
"I'm your huckleberry..."
Fun Fact: The Black Stud Horse ridden by Kurt Russell in the movie was owned by Joe Rider of Rider Ranches of Tacna, Arizona.
Becoming Doc Holliday Fact: Val Kilmer practiced for a long time on his quick-draw speed and gave his character a Southern Aristocrat accent. The southern accent is an authentic touch, as Holliday was a cousin (several generations removed) of Gone With The Wind (1936) author Margaret Mitchell.
Western Connection Fact: The excerpt from William Shakespeare's Henry V (1599) that is recited by Mr. Fabian (Billy Zane) is the same passage that Dutton Peabody (Edmond O'Brien) speaks to himself while walking down the street in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), which I highly recommend.
Historical Fact: The line quoted by Doc (Val Kilmer) at the end of the fight at the OK Corral is historically true and was reported in the Tombstone papers reporting the fight. As extraordinary as the scene is in which Wyatt kills Curly Bill Brocius in the creek, it is true. During the shoot-out in the creek, when Wyatt kills Curly Bill, the next person he shoots is Johnny Barnes. As in real life, Wyatt shoots Barnes in the stomach. However, Barnes was not killed on-site. He managed to escape, and died in a farmhouse. However, before dying, he told the story of how Wyatt really did walk into a hail of Curly Bill's gunfire unscathed, walked right up to Bill, and shot him point blank with both barrels of a double-barreled shotgun.
Wyatt Earp was not the fastest gun, but he had the ability to fire accurately while under fire. In spite of the many years that he was a lawman, he only killed one man before the feud with the Cowboys. When he died the coroner reported that he had no scars, he was never touched by a bullet or a knife.
One detail they got wrong is that Johnny Ringo was found with a bullet hole in his right temple, not his left, and a gaping exit wound at the back of his head.
Very nice facts.I love my westerns.have you seen my name is Trinity with Terrence Hill,and my name is still Trini? Love those spaghetti westerns,but my absolute favourite is Sergio Leon's Once opon a time in the west!! Omg you can't beat the story line for each character, the actors, music score,magnificent !! And then he went on to do the Clint Eastwood's the man with no name trilogy.
Dang, Gator. "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" & "Tombstone" are two of my favorite Westerns AND I'm a lifelong Shakespeare nerd.
And I always notice quotes from The Bard in movies & TV (my inner Trekkie especially loves the sprinkling throughout all iterations of "Star Trek")...
but I've never realized that part of the St. Crispin's Day speech is what was used in both of these great films (and I love Mr. O'Brien in that scene). Just didn't make the connection.
As usual, I appreciate the info in your comments.
But I'm a little ashamed of myself.😳
LucyTorres-zc6nf ...My pleasure. 😁
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
Doc mocking Johnny with the cup is one of my favorite scenes of all time
Fact : That's where Doc scoped Ringo's Moves and how he knew how to out draw him in the end!
The bottle Wyatt's wife had was laudanum, a mixture of alcohol and opiates. Her "headaches" were a cover for an addiction to opiates.
The poor lady. To be fair the headaches were real. They are withdrawal symptoms from alcohol and opiate abuse but medical science didn't understand that fully at the time.
If no one has said it... The shootout at the river actually happened. Wyatt almost cut Curly Bill in half with the shotgun because he pulled both triggers. After it the shooting, Wyatt's coat was covered in bullet holes not one bullet actually hit his body.
a detail often missed is that on the scene where doc mocks ringo with the cup, he actually copies Ringo's moves 1 to 1, and you can see in his eyes that everybody else might have seen mockery, but Ringo heard loud and clear that doc wasn't bluffing about being in his prime still
"You gonna do something or stand there and bleed?"
Your synchronized mouth gapes had me dying 🤣🤣🤣
I was still in the army when this movie came out. For months afterwards, everyone was walking around saying “I’m your huckleberry”. 😂
Love this movie. Probably the most historically accurate portrayal of the O.K. Corral shootout. Almost every character in this was a real person.
Except for them never reloading.... 😉
@@lanzknecht8599 Well it IS still a movie lol.
@@lanzknecht8599 To quote an old game trailer, "If you're reloading, you're not shooting."
@@lanzknecht8599 Go back and count again
I'm sure this video will get no shortage of Doc Holiday love in the comments, as every Tombstone video ever produced always does, but Val Kilmer's performance was the stuff of legend. Him not winning an Oscar is why award shows often get no respect, and while things like this are subjective, his performance here was universally praised.
What I find hilarious is that people will often claim that Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday, Ralph Fiennes as Amon Goth, Leonardo DiCaprio as Arnie Grape, Gary Oldman as Drexl Spivey, etc... should've all gotten Oscars for their performances. Not knowing that they were in competition w/ each other.
If you visit Tombstone, you can see the theater . . . all the bullet holes are still in the ceiling. The actual duster/coat that Wyatt wore when he shot Curly Bill in the river is also on display in a museum. It is riddled with bullet holes and it is a complete miracle Wyatt Earp was not hit. Remarkable, this movie is fairly accurate with the shoot out scenes at both the river and at the OK Corral being based on eye witness accounts found in the Tombstone newspaper archives.
Did you guys recognize the actor who played Johnny Ringo? It was Michael Biehn, who also played Kyle Reese in "The Terminator" and Dwayne Hicks in "Aliens."
Also was a dancer in Michael Jackson beat it video
Wow, I didn't know he was in one of Jackson's music videos.
Yes! This is one my favorites of all time. Thank y’all for watching this one. Val Kilmer at his absolute best. He is also great as Jim Morrison in The Doors.
Since this is based on a true story you guys should Google the names to see what they really looked like. The Earp's, Wyatt, Virgil, Morgan, Doc Holiday, "Big nose Kate", Ike Clanton, John Behan and pretty much every other character.
8:00 - "TAX COLLECTOR?! KILL HIM!!"
LOL that right there killed me!
So glad yall reacted to this. Amazingly enough Kurt grew that mustache himself.
All of Doc’s lines are great and most are more impactful than this, but my favorite is always, “I have two guns, one for each of ya.”
"I know, let's have a spelling contest!!"
- His delivery and face (big crazy eues) kills me every time😂😂😂
One thing most people miss.....when Doc says "I have 2 guns, one for each of ya" he spins the guns in opposite directions. And the death bead scene Val is actually laying on a bed of ice for the scene.
The bad guy in red who shot the Marshal was smoking opium and was out of it and Val kilmer's portrayal of Doc is so bad ass...Thanks guys.
In those days they were called "opium dens".
Val should of won an Oscar. MIchael Bien played Ringo who also starred in Terminator and Aliens. The bloody dude was Michael Rucker. I love this movie.
Many people believe that Val Kilmer deserved the Oscar that year. Here are the nominees for Best Supporting Actor in the 66th Academy Awards:
Tommy Lee Jones as Samuel Gerard in "The Fugitive"
Ralph Fiennes as Amon Göth in "Schindler's List"
John Malkovich as Mitch Leary in "In the Line of Fire"
Leonardo DiCaprio as Arnie Grape in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape"
Pete Postlethwaite as Giuseppe Conlon in "In the Name of the Father"
Other snubs include Ben Kingsley as Itzhak Stern in "Schindler's List", Sean Penn as David Kleinfeld in "Carlito's Way", certain actors in "True Romance", etc...
While the story may have been romanticized for the movies sake the story was true. The Earp brothers, Doc Holiday, Creek Johnson, etc are real historical figures. The gunfight at the OK corral happened. Wyatt & Doc are both incredibly interesting historic western figures.
The gunfight between Wyatt Earp and Curly Bill Brocious in the creek really happened too.
One the best overall cast in cinematic history. Micheal Rooker, Billy Bob Thornton, Micheal Biehn, Powers Boothe, Dana Delaney, Billy Zane, Thomas Haden Church, John Corbett, Terry O'Quinn, Pedro Armendariz, Charlton Heston, Robert Mitchum all gret actors with minor roles.
To everyone Who miss the movies from the old days let's rejoice that someone made them. Doc Holiday- "I'm your, Huckleberry."
At 32:01 "He wanted the normal life, so he took a normal wife" best observation of Wyatt I've ever heard in regards to his marriage.
Dudes....this was awesome! Thanks for that reaction. This is one of my all time favorites. Star studded cast, very well acted, Kurt and Val were total badasses. For the record Val got robbed of that oscar
For the record, Tommy Lee Jones deserved the Oscar that year.
@@dnish6673 for the record, off the record, or however you I want to put it....should have been Val. Someone always has to be a keyboard warrior!!!
John Wayne started out as a helper in the prop dept at one of the big studios. While he was there he became friends with Wyatt Earp who was working there as an advisor on western movies. Wayne said that he based his signature walk and drawling voice on Earp.
Look up the story of the "Gun Fight at the OK Corral" and the individual histories on each of these characters.
The good and the bad.
They were all real and each had their own unique story. Especially Doc and Wyatt.
Absolutely one of my favorites right here. Damn near perfect movie and cast. Kilmer was robbed for his role as Holiday.
YES!!
One of my favorite westerns!
Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Michael Biehn, Dana Delaney, Stephen Lang, Jon Tenney, Terry O'Quinn, Billy Zane, Powers Boothe, Charlton Heston, Frank Stallone, Billy Bob Thornton, Joanna Pacula, Harry Carey Jr, Jason Priestley, Thomas Haden Church, Bill Paxton, and Sam Elliott star in this epic western. Narrated by Robert Mitchum
Forgot Billy Bob Thorton...dealer that is replaced and standing with the shotgun when Wyatt and Doc meet
Robert Mitchum doing the narration at the beginning & end.
Legendary ensemble cast!
and Terry O'Quinn, who played Locke on "Lost".
Best Val Kilmer performance EVAR! He should have won an Oscar.
This is my all-time favorite Western. And this is a true story, even the part where Wyatt walks into the water with bullets flying around him. In real life he had a few bullet holes in his coat.😊
This is what I was told by someone in the comments of another reaction. For Doc he knew he was a dead man with the tuberculosis taking a toll on him. Doc wanted to die like a true cowboy. With his boots on and maybe go out in a gunfight hence why he was eager to have that gunfight with Johnny Ringo. At the end when he died and looked at his bare feet and said “funny” was cause in the end he dies in a hospital bed with his boots off.
That was just for the movie he was alive for several more years eventually he did die in his hotel room
There are lots of movies about the gunfight at the OK Corral, this portrayal of the actual shootout is pretty accurate, as is the gunfight at the creek, based on accounts from the time. Love this movie.
I forgot how many good lines there were in this movie. This was a good reaction.
I've never clicked on a video so damn fast!! You're gonna LOVE this one!! Can't believe Val Kilmer got snubbed at the Oscars with this role 😢
Yeah your so rt he should atleast gotten nominated for best actor so so sad.
great reaction, the man that Doc killed at the begging of the movie in the card game was Frank Stallone, Sylvester Stallone's Brother ! Billy Bob Thornton to in a early role that Wyatt Earp confronts in the bar , went on to be a great actor
"Mah hypocrisy goes only so far." is one of the most self-aware lines in cinema.
Great film! Kevin Costners version of this same story, Wyatt Earp, came out the same year and was maybe a bit more historically accurate, but nobody plays Doc Holliday better than Val Kilmer.
You talked about Kurt Russel's "badass persona" and in history this is something Wyatt Earp was known for. He wasn't anywhere near as morally forthright as this film portrays, but a big part of his effectiveness as a lawman was that he had a naturally intimidating manner and wasn't easily intimidated in reverse.
It's crazy to think that Michael Biehn has played more villains than Arnie. Even before he was Kyle Reese in 'The Terminator', he'd already played at least two villains. A Michael Biehn villain is always scary because they're realistically human just like his heroes. Johnny Ringo is like the physical incarnation of unbridled hate for its own sake (a frighteningly human tendency). Doc speculates on what drives Ringo and reaches the conclusion that he resents being born. It's implied that even Curly Bill fears Ringo.
Fun fact: John Holliday was called "Doc" because he was a dentist before he decided to become a professional gambler. Also, the real gunfight at the O.K. corral happened in 1881, not 1879.
7:27 Probably .44-40. Could have been from a revolver or a levergun.
17:47 Opium was all the rage back then.
22:12 Why even bother to fire a warning shot with a double-barrel?!
22:31 Jakobs allegiance run! Gunzerker style! Fun fact: A bog-standard single-action revolver could be outfitted with an aftermarket upturned hammer spur to facilitate fanning the hammer like that. That was usually done for trickshooting exhibitions, though, not for combat. Accuracy is the deciding factor.
28:32 One detail they got wrong is that the real Johnny Ringo was found with a bullet hole in his right temple, not his left, and with a gaping exit wound at the back of his head.
Ohhhh my favorite movie👍👍👍👍. So very glad you guys are watching this. Thanks for letting me watch it with you💖. Ok little disappointed you cut out so many great scenes. Especially Wyatts speech at the train station. That was so iconic. And Doc and Wyatt at the end in the hospital. Shame shame.
Amazingly, the more fantastical events in the movie actually happened.
They might have been hot pulling into Tucson in those clothes, depending on time of year, but once they went south towards Tombstone they would have cooled down. The climate down there is so amazing, never too hot, never too cold, all 4 season, beautiful mountains and waterfalls, wine country right there. One of my favorite areas in the world.
Heard on Patreon you had quite the adventure in getting this TH-cam Ready…..to say it kindly haha but so far, seems like it’s turned out great! Thanks for doing the 239,288 edits, just to get it out for us lol (sad thing is, you probably had to do a lot more than you should have to get us this reaction. So very much Appreciated guys. ) keep up the awesomeness dudes!🎉
I'm surprised they had trouble. So many other reactors have practically shown the whole movie on their channels.
Val Kilmer was so great in this movie. The only other Doc Holiday that comes close is Tim Rozon in "Wynonna Earp." As someone from the south, I can validate his accent was pretty great, especially for a Canadian. Val Kilmer did a good job on the southern accent too.
This is one of the best films you will see where you will route for the characters all the way to the end. A star-studded cast. All of their mustaches were real they grew them for the film. Kurt Russell had a lot to do with the directing they had to fire the director early on in the film. Val kilmer during his death scene was laying on a bed of ice to make himself shiver. I highly recommend seeing dances With wolves ...there's also the movie Pale Rider with Clint Eastwood. There are a lot of western movies I know you will love
I, very much, like "Purgatory" (1999). It's a fantasy western unlike anything else that I watch once a year. With Eric Roberts, Sam Shepard, Donnie Wahlberg and Randy Quaid. You won't ever forget it.
Val Kilmer's best role of his life, hands down.
Can't remember the last time I clicked on a notification this quickly. Love this movie so happy you guys are watching this.
I was born in Phoenix in 1975, and I was spoonfed the tales of Tombstone since I was a kid. It made me happy to have something that happened in my home state put on the big screen.
Me and my sisters love this movie. We quote it all the time. So many iconic lines.
Probably a fairly accurate portrayal of true events (if that's possible). Witnesses in court, and all the evidence tell of the actual gunfight at the OK Corral lasting less than 30 seconds with over 30 shots fired. Doc Holliday died six years later at 36. Wyatt lived to be 80, and had numerous adventures, including the Alaska Gold Rush, technical advisor on early western films in Hollywood, and Bounty Hunter for the L.A. County Sheriff's office.
In real life, Wyatt Earp was actually a strong advocate of pistol whipping. He considered it a very effective method of subduing an opponent non-lethally.
Fun Fact #1 : Ed Bailey was played by Frank Stallone, aka Sly's brother.
Fun Fact #2 : If you look closely at the scene with the sudden gunshot, just before meeting Creek, everyone is visually startled... except Val Kilmer/Doc Holliday, who barely moves.
This is perhaps the most stacked cast I've ever seen in a movie. Even the smaller roles got great actors playing them
"No Les, no more."
- Love that gravestone. Saw one that said "Hey bro,. If you want your favorite watch back, you'd better start digging." 😂
I feel like you guys would really enjoy "Open Range" if you wanna go down the western path further. Great reaction boys.
The best fact of this movie is the staches are all real. The amazing cast is just a cherry on top.
To also add the whole police career for Wyatt he never caught a bullet.
8:08 "Literally comes up and says 'Hey, I'm the Town Asshole'!" Fucking genius, bro!
Historical fact: Wyatt loved his baby brother Morgan more than the others. So, his death broke him. When he saw Stilwell at the station, Wyatt knew it would not end with them leaving and so he went to war.
In case you guys are wondering Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer) was suffering from Turboculosis, then known as Consumption, since the diesease slowly ate away at your lungs, causing you to cough up blood, among other things. Hence "Lunger" was the nickname for these sufferers.
You two have a lot of great westerns to catch up with. I put Tombstone 5th on my best western of all time list. My top four are The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (starring Clint Eastwood) at 4. The Searchers (starring John Wayne) at 3. The Wild Bunch at 2. Once Upon a Time in the West (starring Henry Fonda and Charles Bronson) at number one. Not only is that my favorite all time western, it is my favorite all time movie period. It is an absolutely breathtaking, epic of a film with some of the best cinematography and score you will ever see and hear in a movie.
This has always been up there in my Top 10! Hilarious to see younger people watch it for the first time... 30yrs later.❤😂
One of my favorite westerns of all time!
I also love “The Quick and The Dead” if you guys are interested 🤠
BTW: Did you notice that Doc never flinches during gunfire, especially when the kid popped up during the infamous gunfight? Everyone reacts to the kid, except him. He's truly a man with no fear. Even knowing that he's dying doesn't stop him. How insane is that?
The OCTOKROOL twins would love to watch these three films starring Kurt Russell: *EXECUTIVE DECISION* (1996 action), *SOLDIER* (1998 Sci-Fi) and *VANILLA SKY* (2001), a mind-blowing movie that defies definition starring Russell opposite Tom Cruise.
They'd also love Used Cars.
The intro to this movie is one of my all time favorite scenes ever. It gives you a clear view on who the villains are without any confusion. So classic and to the point.
This is the most accurate account of what happened in Tombstone and with Wyatt. All the other movies have gotten it wrong. Every kill, the bad guys, everything is on point.
Doc's "I don't" was definitely a simple yet amazingly powerful line in that context. This movie has some of the most natural and easy one liners ever.
The cast in this film is amazing. Val Kilmer steels every scene he's in. The guy who played Ringo was also Kyle Reese in The Terminator. Powers Booth as Curly Bill was in an awesome Brandon Lee flick you guys should check out, Rapid Fire. And he was a great bad guy in 1995's Sudden Death, a kick- ass Van Damme flick. Bill Paxton from Twister, Aliens, Predator 2 is also great. Kurt Russell rules as always, and Sam Elliott is legendary. This is a perfect western that holds up beautifully. Thanks for watching it.
Rule #1 in my house - Tombstone comes on TV, and nothing else matters
Your facial reactions Everytime Wyatt intimidated someone was priceless. Man never cursed but made you feel about 1/4” tall.
Stephen Lang was a little known actor then. The first role I remember seeing him was in Manhunter, which is an adaptation of a Hannibal Lecter book called Red Dragon. Now, he’s Colonel Quaritch in the Avatar movies.
One of my all time favourite films, and like pretty much every other viewer has said, Val Kilmer should have got an award of some kind for his performance. However, pretty much all the cast brought their A-game - villains and heroes alike. When the casting is just right like it was in this film, the overall effect is spellbinding.
The most astonishing thing about Tombstone is that it turned out as good as it did. It can all be googled by anyone interested, but the film went through some really tough challenges during production - the original director was fired and a replacement brought in, there were conflicts on set, script changes, production issues and more. A few of the cast have gone on record saying that Kurt Russell was the one who basically held the film together, even going so far as to cut down his own scenes so as to allow more time for the rest of the cast to get their moments onscreen.
The shooting of town marshal Fred White was ruled an accident. The model pistol Curly Bill was using was well-known for misfiring if not handled carefully. In addition, Curly Bill and Fred were actually good friends in real life. That's hinted at when you hear Curly Bill in the movie say, "Fred, get up. Get up, Fred!" after the shooting. Wyatt Earp even testified in Bill's favor at the trial.
Johnny Ringo was neither as psychopathic nor as violent as he is portrayed here. He did, in fact, abandon the cowboys during this war because he got tired of all the shooting back and forth. He even worked as a sheriff for a time, and was by all account an efficient and effective law man. We don't know how Ringo died, but what we do know for sure is that he was not actually killed by Doc Holiday.
One of the most quotable films of all time in any genre. An Val was robbed of his Oscar.
One of my all time favorites. You can never go wrong watching Tombstone
"Skin that smoke wagon and see what happens." has to be one of my favorite lines.
Bill F'n Paxton and Sam Elliot in the same movie. Playing brothers.
That right there is the recipe for a perfect film.
And then you throw Val Kilmer into the mix. Sweet Jesus.
And don't get me started on Michael Biehn and Kurt Russell.
Fun fact: This film didn't win any Oscars because the award committee was too afraid of its sheer awesomeness.
The award committee sucks a$$.
Other actors some people don’t notice in this film are: Powers Boothe plays Curly Bill. Henry Hooker (rancher) is played by Charlton Heston. Ed Bailey (the gambler Doc knifed) is Frank Stallone (Sylvester’s brother). Jason Priestley is Billy Breckinridge. The Actor is Billy Zane from Titanic. McMasters (the Cowboy you liked that switched sides) is Michael Rooker who played Daryl’s brother Merle in The Walking Dead. Johnny Tyler (the dealer Wyatt slapped around) was played by Billy Bob Thornton. FUN FACT: Billy Claiborne was played by Wyatt Earp, a distant relative of THE Wyatt Earp.
There are some awesome modern westerns out there. The Magnificent Seven (any version), 3:10 to Yuma, True Grit, Dances With Wolves, Silverado, the couple Tarantino did, and even some less serious stuff like The Quick and the Dead, Quigley Down Under or Maverick. It's a great genre.
I would absolutely recommend "Quigley Down Under", it's a great story about the Australian outback and the aboriginal peoples and yes it is a great western movie starring Tom Selleck,Alan Rickman and Laura San Giacomo.
Great suggestion, appreciate you mentioned Silverado and Quigley.
The Lester Moore Headstone Is A Real One!! You Can Still See It At Boot Hill Cemetery In Tombstone!!
“You gonna do something or you just gonna stand there and bleed “ is one of the Dopest lines in a movie ever.
One of those films that has so many quotable scenes and kurt russell was a huge part of this film being how great it is.
Seen a lot of reactions to this movie, and nobody catches who three of the Cowboys were.
Johnny Ringo was played by Michael Biehn. He was Kyle Reese in Terminator and also played in...wanna say Aliens.
Ike Clanton was played by Stephen Lang. He was the ripped blind dude in Don't Breathe.
Billy Clanton was played by Thomas Haden Church. Dude's been in a lot of stuff. He was Sandman in the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy.
The actor was played by Billy Zane. Also been in a ton of stuff. Dude's a great comedic actor.
Curly Bill was played by Powers Boothe. You're probably used to seeing him older with gray hair. He's also been in a lot of stuff.
And finally, the guy Wyatt slapped the shit out of was played by Billy Bob Thornton. Bad Santa himself.
Great reaction to one of my all time favorite movies!! You guys should definitely react to Wyatt Earp starring Kevin Costner. Not as action packed as this one but still very good and more historically accurate.
This is the third film reuniting alien actors. This has Hicks and Hudson. "Near Dark" has Hudson, Vazquez and Bishop and they play vampires. Paxton basically brings back his Hudson character for it and I'm so glad there's a Hudson as a vampire film that exists.
"OH MY GOD, HE IS SO COOL!" - essentially all of us when we first saw Wyatt and Johnny's scene.
You can’t say you’re a Western fan until you’ve watched the LONESOME DOVE series. It’s amazing.
Some other westerns I think y'all would like:
Silverado
Quick and The Dead(Sharon Stone)
Maverick
American Outlaws
The Magnificent Seven(Denzel Washington)
El Dorado(John Wayne)
Great reaction, guys! I've been waiting for y'all to react to this one and you didn't disappoint.
I like how at 11:00 Doc Holliday is the only one who doesn’t flinch at the gunshots. Badass with nothing to lose
The scene where Doc says, "I have two guns, one for each of ya" he spins the pistols in opposite directions, forwards and backwards at the same time.
7:20 "He's got time for many things" haha that was such a good response.
