- For over 40 years Val Kilmer, one of Hollywood's most mercurial and/or misunderstood actors has been documenting his own life and craft through film and video. He has amassed thousands of hours of footage, from 16mm home movies made with his brothers, to time spent in iconic roles for blockbuster movies like Top Gun, The Doors, Tombstone, and Batman Forever. This raw, wildly original and unflinching documentary reveals a life lived to extremes and a heart-filled, sometimes hilarious look at what it means to be an artist and a complex man.
#IGN #ValKilmer
This man was robbed of an academy award for his role in tombstone and he deserves more credit for his acting in felon….
Felon would have been crap without Val
Agreed👍🏽👍🏽 Val was also superb in The Salton Sea.
His acting in Felon is a masterpiece.
"I'm your Huckleberry"
@Necramonium That was his best role, IMO.
Val was criminally underrated in HEAT, he was fn fantastic in that movie.
Was just about to say the same thing. In saying that they all killed it in that movie.
Totally agree!
Val Kilmer is a scene stealer in everything he has done. Quite underrated. He channeled Jim Morrison in the Doors
He was fantastic in the 90s
Have you seen The Saint?
Hearing him talk at the end breaks my freaking heart. One of the greatest actors of our generation, and his voice is gone. Such a tragedy.
You have to look past that and listen to his words, not his voice. Xo
Don't smoke cigarettes, kids.
@@scatterbrainart My dad never smoked a day in his life and the same thing happened to him, kid.
@@Wobbly1905 HPV will do that
@@Wobbly1905 sure it can still happen to anyone, but if you smoked you will look back on it like there was something more you could have done, or, not done to prevent it.
I’m glad he’s putting his story to film instead of some random person 20 years from now looking to finesse some award from the same kind of people who didn’t give Val his flowers for Tombstone.
👏👏👏
Absolutely. Those types of pukes remind me of the kind of wife who secretly poisons her husband to death, then cries at his funeral for attention and gets praise for giving such a moving eulogy.
They should've given him an Oscar for his Tombstone.
@OLIVER STONE
What a great comment and thought!
It's heartbreaking to see Kilmer's vocals destroyed like this. Truly a gifted actor.
It's heartbreaking for "any" human being destroyed. But not everyone gets the breaks, or publicity
of these celebrities.
The best was when he accepted some award and started slobbering all over himself while giving an acceptance speech.
He shouldn’t have smoked should he? Guess he’ll just have to suffer the consequences.
He isn’t hiding away. People are so fragile. Just be glad he is out here sharing with all of us. It is still Val.
@@LATVERIAN1 They never made the point that is was especially heartbreaking because he was a celebrity, just that it was heartbreaking.
"I'm your huckleberry". A line so innocuous yet carried so much weight when spoken by an acting genius. Everyone knows Val should have received an Oscar for his supporting role in Tombstone.
Well aren’t you a daisy?
100%
Huckle bearer
He was fantastic in wonderland…came out towards the end of his career
@@chadbest5411 you're no daisy!
It’s cute that it’s his son narrating, he has such a similar voice to Val.
Oh wow - that's pretty cool.
That's his son? No Way, he sounds just like him.
Didn't know that,sounds exactly like his old man!
What else did you take from the video?
Aw that’s cool, you wouldn’t think that was his son. Does sound like him.
Val Kilmer's portrayal of Doc Holiday is the stuff of legend.
"Not me...I'm in my prime"
Yes 100%.... "I'll be your Huckleberry"
You're no daisy!
“Im right as the mill”
That's the rumour
How cool is this!!! Like a documentary, based on self shot and personal video diaries, and not just a camera crew following everything. Definitely looking forward to watching it
Punky Brewster just did that.
Me too! Loved him on tombstone...& The Saint..
Watch TV Junkie. Like this about a world famous news anchor. Its an amazing story
Nah, pass 🥱😴👎🏾
Just received his book, can't wait to read Val kilmer..memoir.
His cameo in Top Gun: Maverick had me in tears (at first) and yet he still managed to make us all laugh near the end of it. Terrific actor
The Most important thing is that he's still here..
Give him his flowers while he is still here
Sometimes being alive isn't enough
silver lining.
✔️
not for long
Best Doc Holliday ever. No one can touch that performance. Poor Dennis Quaid never stood a chance.
And Dennis was great. Val was just on another level. No Oscar is a travesty and the Oscars are worse for it. One of the all time great performances.
We watched him grow up in movies, it’s so hard to see him like this now. Prayers to Val Kilmer and his family.
@sleeping bear take it easy there, geez. Why are you so angry
@sleeping bear another angry white guy?
@sleeping bear who hurt you?
Thats Mr. Iceman to you!
“There’s no normal life, there’s just life, now get on with it Wyatt”
-doc holiday
Best line!!!!! 👍
I’m watching that right now
Damn...someone cutting onions in here?
Truly one of the most underappreciated actors ever.
How is he an under appreciated actor exactly?
@ike awgu his batman is definitely underatted
F A C T
@@johndough3125 he should’ve won the Oscar for his portrayal of Doc Holliday in Tombstone.
@@HarryDetective will you be my huckleberry?
Val Kilmer.
One of those actors that you didn't like as a kid, but then realize you didn't like him because the character he portrayed, and that he's actually an amazing actor.
Willow, Thunderheart, Tombstone and The Ghost and the Darkness was on repeat at my house... Always liked Val
you never watched heat as a kid?
Don’t know what you’re talking about, he was my hero as a kid. Madmordagan & Jim Morrison
oh, there are plenty of other reasons.
Val Was known as a nightmare to his fellow actors and directors throughout his entire career. He went as far as sabotaging productions if he didn’t get his own way, and verging on punch ups. A total car crash of a human being.
What is interesting is how people like him because of the characters he portrays or because this documentary somehow vindicates him of his horrendous behaviour in the past. It’s a shame Val is not well, but that should not excuse his past actions because of this vanity project. On the flip side, it might be he realises on reflection how bad he was and is some how trying to make amends.
One of the greatest actors ever. He could do comedy, drama, impersonate, sing, dance, It's heartbreaking to see him in this condition, but I'm glad he's still around.
Facts... Doc Holiday was never done better!
Artists destroy themselves it seems if they have a great soul. The lesser ones stick around to become darlings of the industry. The ones with so much fire and magic that they shine, almost always shine briefly. If you are a watcher of such things you are only grateful you got to see it at all.
@@dwhite8997 what other movies have you seen that was about Tombstone and or Doc Holiday? just a serious question.
@@lt4324 there's a 1971 movie called Doc... and there's another movie about their story called Wyatt Earp.
@@lt4324 there are a number of films about Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp and the events in Tombstone including Gunfight at O.K. Corral in 1957, Wyatt Earp with Kevin Costner released in 1994 and are others.
This man needs to be given a “Lifetime achievement “ Oscar ASAP, because he more than merits it 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧❤️❤️
Agreed!
Absolutely
Why??
Amen
This is gonna make me cry isn't it
Seeing him young to seeing him now..Yes probably going to be extremely hard to watch and a view on just how quick our lives go by.
Only if you watch it.
It's ok to cry
Yup.
100 percent
The way he played Jim Morrison was totally awesome.
My cousin was an extra in the Doors movie. She is briefly seen in a concert scene in the front row as a groupie. She said Val was always in character even when the camera wasn’t rolling. He would flirt as Jim with all the female extras too.
Well agreed! He should’ve won an Oscar for his role as Jim Morrison in The Doors.
But doesn’t do the real Jim any justice.
Val Kilmer was one hell of a Bruce Wayne in Batman Forever. That movie in general is so underrated because everyone confuses it with Batman and Robin
❤️❤️❤️
uhm.,..no....both were shitty movies...but that wasn't his fault...
@@2kReels you are so sadly mistaken
Saw it yesterday what a tear jerker. Been a fan of his for 30 years and got to meet him in 2005. It’s so sad to see him like this but it’s great that he still has his sense of humor.
Tombstone all day everyday. One of the best acted roles of a lifetime.
how about a spelling contest??
I'm ya huckleberry.
Love it!! Him & kurt Russell..what a great movie..
It's I ll be Your Huckleberry!!!
Agreed tombstone and heat are some of his best roles ever
Everyone's forgetting his best work, Top Secret of course.
Real Genius
Hands down best movie
So right!
French here and its one of my favorite movies.
Skeet Surfing!
He's done so many great films over the years.
Him playing Elvis in True Romance cracks me up every time.
You will always be "The greatest swordsman that ever lived" to me. Wishing you love and healing, Val.
truly
Of course he appears that way.. to a PECK like you! ..lol no hate.. Willow was/is one of my all time favorites.
To me, he’ll always be Iceman; a handsome, skilled, yet arrogantly talented fighter pilot.
He will go down as one of the greats of the cinematic world. He can do it all. Tremendous talent and glad to have been able to watch the films he has been in. Look forward to this masterpiece!!!
He is not just a person. He is an Era himself.
Real Genius is truly underrated
Val and Tears For Fears is the 80s
Right?!
This movie was so moving it brought me to tears
big respect to Val much love!
Best impression of a singer/performer ive seen was when he did Morrison. Better than Mercury's portrayal in Bohemian Rhapsody by Malek. He is a solid actor.
Doc Holliday
He was the spitting image of Jim Morrison for that role.
@@SomeoneIsAlwaysMovingOnTheSurf he wasn't a performer but yeah thats his famous role
Have you seen Ray? It’s on that level.
@@Dustomatic ray is on that level u mean. The doors film came first
So sad yet uplifting to see this trailer about his story and strength. Absolutely iconic. He WAS Jim in The Doors.
Top Secret is so underrated! And TOMBSTONE should’ve nabbed him an Oscar!
He was unbelievable as Jim morrison in the doors
Definitely, Tombstone..
Check out The Salton Sea its unbelievable
Everyone just skips over Top Secret. Thank you!
@@nataliejohnson9526 Souvenirs, novelties, party tricks.
That's the first time a trailer ever hit me. What a heartbreaking triumph.
Yeah me too… I’ve watched it 20 times and tear up.. first time that’s ever happened watching a trailer.
The dude always fascinated me as an actor ..
this seems like a truly brilliant documentary, such a shame Val lost his voice, but it’s still amazing that he didn’t lose his story with it.
One of his best role was Jim Morrison in the movie The Doors, he also look almost like Jim and is/was damn sexy actor. Wish you all the best Val.
Yeah, his promo photos are close.
His son sounds just like him with the narration.
Iceman, Doc Holliday, Jim Morrison and Batman. He was my childhood hero
Chris Shiherlis
Mad mardigan
Chris Knight
Same!
@@hairychest7865 Why is that toy on your head?
When he was on and in his prime, he was elite.
This is why we need the Schumacher Cut of Batman Forever, to remember one of the great actors of all time :((
I´m deeply sorry to hear his health situation, let´s wish him for the best :3
No. Go Away.
@@schadenfreude6274 or… you can go away, lol
Yes we need the darker and more dramatic cut to actually see his performance as Bruce Wayne
One of the best actors of all time. He gave his all to every role. Look forward to seeing this.
The Salton Sea. One of my favorites from Val. Wishing you the best Huckleberry!
Great film
For sure!
Nice one! great movie...
Yup
A great actor, powerful personality on film, almost intimidating in a nice way. That's the X factor. Few have it.
He's lived more than most could get in ten lifetimes. Wishing him a full recovery.
1:41 made me cry. I've been around people in real life that have to talk like that, it breaks my heart...
😢😢😢
😢
To have it happen to val kilmer it's devastating
One of the best actors of all time!!! Sad to see him go through all this and lose his voice, but somehow he still keeps moving forward taking everything in stride. This man is an extraordinary example of greatness!
"I'll be ya huckleberry"....Thanks for always being there Doc. Time to get back in the saddle Val!
For me ghost and the darkness, willow, thunderheart and tombstone are definitely my favourite of his films
Me: I'm gonna cry before you, Val.
Val: Say when.
I'm your huckleberry. That's just my game.
“There’s no such thing as a normal life, there’s just life”! Doc Holiday/Val Kilmer/Tombstone. One of the lines of dialogue that struck me so profoundly it has become a way of life for me. Whatever comes your way, simply comes your way, deal with it.
Incorrect
Although it's heartbreaking he had to lose his voice, let's remember he survived to tell his story. ❤
One of the best actors ever! This guy was a ladies man in his prime! Hope his health recovers back again!!!!
So sad but how lucky are we to have him in our lives
Well said.
What a beautiful movie about an incredible artist.
This man is an ICON Top Gun, Tombstone just to mention a few he made my childhood more awesome
me: If he's speaking through a voicebox, who is narrating this? His son, Jack who sounds uncannily like his father.
Right?!?! That was the only way lol
@Mark Park It sounds absolutely like him.
yes it must be his son, the voice really sounds like him but younger and softer
It's the best that can be done if Val can't speak, I'm sure most of his story is narrated by him in his own home footage.
@@aclementine9928 perfect description
The movie HEAT was his best in my opinion
It was the most heartbreaking thing ever hearing his voice at the end. His voice was so unique and amazing
So sad :( Such a legend & will never be forgotten. Keep fighting Val we need wise souls like you around a while longer
Love that his son was the narrator for this! Val Kilmer was 💯 robbed and should have won an Oscar for his portrayal of Doc Holiday. Legendary human being ♥️
Sky,s The so true that,s what he said that he was so sad he never got an Oscar bc he always put SO much work in preparing for his roles...cruel world Hollywood
badass actor. Genuine stud-muffin. His role in Heat will be with me forever....
A very moving documentary. It's heartbreaking to see the consequences of his health issues, but I'm so grateful that Val is still with us and still has the will to fight on and enjoy life. Best wishes to him and his family!
Wild honey, 15 mg.
Dude, The *Ghost and the Darkness is another great movie of his
What?
AND Willow!
@@civilwildman The Doors was his BEST film, Oliver Stone aka the director knew Jim Morrison personally and Val sang ALLthe songs without help and got the role b/c of his likeness and vocal talent, and ability to sing like Morrison.
@@quadphonics agreed
Watch him in the Salton sea as a ex cop who goes after the killer of his wife as a meth head and other Wonderland where he plays John Holmes where those murders took place.
Couldn't have picked a better song to suit this trailer. A+.
It's overused. They shoulda used something else.
What's it called?
@@joedaoust5942 Pixies - Where is my Mind. It's forever linked to Fight Club and many other movies/shows have used it. At least use a unique cover version like Mr. Robot did.
Craig Heard it before but couldn't place it. Just had a listen. Been years since I've heard it. Thanks.
Madmartigan is "the Greatest Swordsman that ever lived"
Yes!!!!!
One of my favourite movie characters. Too bad they didn't make more movies set in that Willow fantasy world.
PECK PECK PECK!
Loved him in the move Real Genius. He's an amazing actor. He's also in one of my favorite movies of all time, HEAT.
Val is greatly underrated. Amazing skills. Looking forward to this film!!
Comes out on my birthday. What a treat it'll be to watch a movie about one of my all-time favorite actors!
Just watched it. Its both sad and heart warming at the same time. Truly a gifted man.
Spartan is one of my favorite films of all times, and possibly, one of Val’s greatest performance.
Amazes me that this movie is so far off the radar. Incredible entertaining movie.
Always liked Val and especially his portrayal of Jim Morrison in the excellent The Doors film. Really emotional to see see how he is today but also incredibly motivating.
He will always be the greatest swordsman that ever lived.
Val's take of Doc Holiday in Tombstone will always be his character. Thanks for the memories Val! New Zealand fan base.
He was the Brad Pitt of the 80's... A character actor in an handsome leading man's body
Val >>> Pitt
@@jackplissken4640 To be fair Brad is a great actor. He actually took a lot of edgy roles when he was younger, some might think he got by on his looks but he was and is way more than that.
@@jackplissken4640 Michael Pitt >>>> Brad Pitt
@@RandomBoye 🤔🤩👍
A great actor. A great voice. The voice is gone now but the actor is still with us. Can't wait to see this film.
The dude was in Real Genius and then turned around and did Top Gun. That shows an amazing range.
Jim Morrison, Doc Holliday, Mad Mardigan in Willow....amazing range.
As Val gets older the Native American in him starts to show more
Yeah it appears to increase from 0.01% to 0.04%
Native? He looks polish to me
@@denachtconducteur7070 he's majority white but has some Native, forgot which tribe
I'm not sure he's actually Native American, but he definitely passed as one in Thunderheart.
Booze and huffing gas will do that to a person
Heartbreaking to hear him talk but wonderful to see he's a fighter. All the best wishes to him and his family.
Now everyone is gonna have Val Kilmer movie parties.
As it should be
...and we can say we were doing that before it became the fashionable/"in" thing to do...
Me and my cousin, have been watching Heat, atleast once per year since it came out. But watched almost all of his movies, always entertaining.
You're a daisy if you do!
And that's fine.
There will never, ever be another actor who can play Jim Morrison. Imagine going into that character. Morrison was one of a kind. So is Val.
*:( didnt know about his voice. Favorite movie with him will always be Real Genius. And the movie Felon was super underrated. We love you Val*
Real Genius. One of my favorite movies, period. Little pickles….
@@alexbaum2204 😄😄😄and now we're Cha Cha-ing
Should take the award for the most underrated actor in the past 50 years. His work is loved and his talent is obvious to us all. Thanks Val for doing what you do.
Real Genius, anyone? That was my first exposure to Val back then. And Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite lived in his closet LOL
The Saint. Something else of a movie. Get well soon Val!!
Geez that was tough to watch when he talked through his voice device. He had such a beautiful voice.
*This man has been living a Journey that we all now get to see, it's RARE yet amazing Get well soon Val*
Heat and Tombstone are just amazing.
Clearly the best actor of the 1980s and 90s. Sad this has happened to him.
Heat is a straight classic
The ending of the trailer-hell the whole trailer-gave me chills. Hauntingly beautiful.
Val is a legend and it's heartbreaking that he lost his beautiful voice.
Val Kilmer's soothing calm voice is gone! 💔😱😭
This dude was an amazing person and actor. Such a big part of the 80a, and 90s.
Willow, his 4th film, is a favorite of his roles, and then Heat was a great action/drama movie. He has a long spanning career as an actor.
"What did you say PECK?!"
Salton Sea , Top Gun , Heat , and of course Tombstone . Which him as Doc , is the best single acting that's ever been .
Im a huge fan and have seen all his movies...even met him in Tombstone durring 'Doc Holidays'...this broke my heart
This was probably the best documentary I've ever seen.
Time levels everyone eventually...This looks like a great ride through his life, so cool he captured all this footage.
Amazing man! His acting, his vitality for life, and his humor never fail to touch my soul.
We love Val. He stole the show in Tombstone, given the cast that's saying a lot. Really hope they give him his proper due in the new Top Gun, wouldn't have been the same with the Iceman.
OMG.......one of THE most iconic and truly gifted actors ever to have blessed this earth. This man has lived an extraordinary life as he admits - and to the max. That he had the intelligence at an extremely early age to utilise his own video camera and document his life in effect says everything. He should have won an Oscar as 'Doc' in "Tombstone"....those words he mouthed with 'Johnny Ringo'....Blien another brilliant actor - "I'm your huckleberry" always send a shiver up my spine. Get well Val. Love and respect.
The first movie I’d ever seen Val Kilmer was in was Top Secret.
That’s the first movie he ever saw himself in as well.
