In 1896, after the death of Doc, Wyatt said in an article: "I found him a loyal friend and good company. He was a dentist whom necessity had made a gambler; a gentleman whom disease had made a vagabond; a philosopher whom life had made a caustic wit; a long, lean blonde fellow nearly dead with consumption and at the same time the most skillful gambler and nerviest, speediest, deadliest man with a six-gun I ever knew."
I think Val Kilmer did a great job portraying him.
Wow thats awsome dude😁😢
This movie did a better job portraying their friendship that Wyatt Earp movie did. Although I liked that movie as well, this one is one of the best all time.
Doc was the most loyal friend not till the day he died, but until the second he died. What a warrior.
@@zzabbie I LOVED Wyatt Earp, probably better... just seemed slower and more serious.
Doc holliday died in 1887
This cast is pure gold, but Val Kilmer not getting an Oscar nod for playing Doc Holiday was a crime.
That was the crime of the 20th century.
@@reesebn38 Agreed
Not even in nominee
complete agree, my favorite character in film!!
I couldn’t agree more! He was superb.
Most people roll their eyes during the scene where Wyatt runs out in the middle of the river. “That’s so unrealistic.” Crazy thing is, that’s one of the most true to life parts of the movie. Witnesses describe him standing in the middle of the river in a hail of gunfire completely untouched screaming “No! No! No!”
His life really was the stuff legends are made of.
Wow! He might as well be in lord of the rings..men had Elven blood running through his veins haha m..appreciate you watching mate ❤️
A young John Wayne got to know the real Wyatt and patterned his cowboy personality from him.
@@craigwiggins253 Not true. Those two never met. Wyatt Earp knew John Ford. All the stories Wayne heard about Earp were told to him second-hand by Ford.
@@Jeremy252 I'm pretty sure I had read that, but I'm not some historical historian on John Wayne
One of the witnesses said that his jacket was full of bullet holes.
Man it still blows me away how fantastic Val Kilmer is in this; despite acting alongside a stacked cast nobody comes close
Freakin’ WORD. 🔥
I had never thought about that within the context of this cast - he really does give the best performance.
I’ll always consider this to be Val’s best performance ever. He’s played many good roles, but they all pale in comparison to this film.
Val Kilmer should have 2 oscars. For this and for The Doors. Not even a nomination. Unbelievable
Oh, I don’t know. I thought that Kurt was also excellent in this, not quite as good as Val, but still very memorable.
The thing about Doc Holiday is that if he hadn't been sick, he wouldn't have been as good as he was. He knew that his illness was terminal and didn't want it to be what kills him, so he would never back down from a fight in hopes that he would one day square of with someone that was better than him. His final words of "this is funny" was kind of an inside joke to himself. He always believed that he would die with his boots on. That is why he said that when he looked at his bare feet.
Some tall tales got him going up and putting his boot´s on, before he passed. So that he could die "with his boots on". But i don´t know the facts (if any) behind it?
It's hard to go up against a man that is already dead.
“Why, Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave.”
I was just fooling about....
I wasn’t. And this time, it’s legal.
This movie and Kevin Costner’s Wyatt Earp were in production at the same time. There’s amazing stories about the two film’s costume departments “at war” with each other. Wyatt Earp is more historically accurate but NO ONE rivals Kilmer in his role as Doc. He was robbed of an Oscar!
Val stole the film!
YES! Love love that version!
@@richardq1890 I thought Quaid (and the film as a whole) had that gritty, dirty, historically accurate REALness to it. Can’t deny Kilmer’s charm, one-liners, and overall badassery, tho.
I 100% agree, but also have to acknowledge Quaid's masterful performance.
Watching Tombstone first ruined me for Wyatt Earp. It was no contest.
You nailed it when you said you were happy enough to spend time with these characters. Everyone in the movie did an amazing job. Val Kilmer was Doc Holiday reincarnated. His portrayal of Doc Holiday has to be in the top 10 if not top 5 best acting performances of all time.
The cast was stellar. When he was talking about Ringo in the saloon, he didn't seem to understand that Ringo didn't give anything away. He was a professional and doing that spinning to an iron gun was illustrating his dexterity. Ringo was feared in this movie, and for good reason. Earp couldn't beat him. Only Holliday could. Both Ringo and Holliday knew
@@LA_HA I agree the showboating didn't give anything away, but Doc did get a glimpse of his draw.
I don’t care if this movie is full of exaggerations or not- it’s the perfect cast, and every one of the actors owns it.
Check out History Buffs. It holds up pretty well in history vs fiction.
@@orarinnsnorrason4614 The movie is full of inaccuracies, here are a few. The movie depicted Wyatt Earp wanting to stay out of Law Enforcement, but the real Wyatt Earp ran for county Sherriff, and lost. The movie only talked about three Earp brothers being in Tombstone, when in fact there was five of them there. Two of the Earp brothers, Warren and James, rode with Wyatt on his vendetta ride. Lastly, the shootout between Johnny Ringo and Doc Holiday, the problem with that was when Ringo was killed Doc Holiday was over 600 miles away in Colorado. The official ruling, Johnny Ringo frequently threatened to commit suicide, so it is believed that he shot himself.
What is going for the movie, save for it being a well produced and enjoyable piece of work. The depiction of the gunfight at the Ok Corral, is considered to be one of the most accurate depictions ever done for the silver screen. All the other films before it often had people getting shot who were not even there, and the whole event taking forever, while the actual gunfight lasted around 30 seconds.
@@Schindlerphoto read my comment and check out the channel I recommended. A lot of stuff is covered.
@@orarinnsnorrason4614 th-cam.com/video/fvqwFcieyxI/w-d-xo.html
Val Kilmer is incredible in this movie and should have got a academy award nomination at least. For another great western check out The Outlaw Josey Wales with Clint Eastwood.
Another vote for The Outlaw Josey Wales.
@@berenerchamion4654 And another.
The Outlaw Josie Wales is the best Western ever, and it was set during/after American Civil War. Even more incredible one-liners than Tombstone.
Ash this movie is pretty accurate. There is of course things added because it's a movie. Wyatt did actually yell NO and walk out there like that, and he never got shot. Historians aren't sure who killed Jonny Ringo. He was found by a tree with a bullet in his head. Wyatt Earp said Doc Holliday killed him.
The museum shows Wyatt's coat, w/ multiple bullet holes, from his time as sheriff. Wherein he is supposedly, not to have taken a single wound.
Certainly mythical in nature.
OG boss.
So which is the better gunman, the quicker draw, or he who never takes a wound?
@@reesebn38 john wayne stole his walk and talk from a stuntman on set. I forget his name.
Cannot see Wyatt having killed Ringo I think this is properly the way it went Wyatt was never a gunslinger he would more bum rush guys in fights its part of the reason his gun barrels are so long Doc was the gunslinger so I tend to believe Wyatt and Doc killed him
It was impossible for Doc Holliday to have done it. He was in a sanitarium in Colorado at the time.
Ringo is believed to have committed suicide. He was found with a gunshot wound to the head and one round fired from his gun. Interestingly, the film addresses this by obviously having Doc shoot him in the head but then Johnny squeezes off a round into the dirt reflexively as he is stumbling down.
I’m your huckleberry…
Great line and as you say greater with one foot in the grave.
Val so deserved an Oscar here.
One of the greatest westerns ever.
Doc Holliday had tuberculosis (aka "consumption") throughout this movie, just at varying stages. He probably drank a good bit (and used other substances) to dull the pain from it, but it didn't stop him from being as badass as he could be. But that's why he seems sickly in the movie, even when he wasn't drunk. He died from it in 1887; he was 36 years old.
It was also why people were so scared of him besides his skill with a gun. He knew he was dying and would rather do it in a fight than slowly in bed.
I just love the fact that he was a dentist until he got TB and went west.legend.
Another fact to add on is Doc got it from taking care of his mother who died of it.
@@DanielleDeLisle At fifteen years old. He was thirty-seven when he died. That's WAY longer than most TB patients lived back then.
@@filthycasual8187 True! A badass.
They all grew those mustaches for this movie. No fake ones. 🔥
I heard of the entire cast there was only ONE fake mustache on set, a minor character (not one of the main ones) who had just done another film that required him to be cleanshaven and hadn’t had time to grow a glorious one lije the rest if the cast.., and he was teased unmercifully for it too lol
@@michellelamar8965 That poor dude 🤣
Val Kilmer was robbed of the supporting actor oscar.
Unforgiven with Clint Eastwood and an allstar cast is one of the best westerns. Period!
Gives a great point of view most movies don't give.
Not just one of the best western films. Belongs on any proper top 10 All-Time movies list. IMO.
Val’s performance as Doc Holliday was nothing short of phenomenal…Excellent excellent western!! 🔥🤌🏾
Just one correction: this is not a spaghetti western. "Spaghetti Western" refers to westerns made by Italians in the 1960s and 70s and which were popularized by most famously by Sergio Leone. The genres are fairly different, which is why it's not really fair to compare this movie to Leone's work.
True. And those spaghetti westerns put Clint Eastwood into star territory. He had been in a TV cowboy series (Rawhide) but it was those Spaghetti flicks that really got him noticed. Next thing you knew he was killing it in the Dirty Harry franchise.
@14:00, yep Johnny Ringo literally played himself and let Doc see how fast he was. Meanwhile Doc didn’t give away anything…but his contempt
This is my fave western, have seen it 100 times and I never thought of that part like that.
The point of the scene in the rain after the little brother died makes sense if you think about it.
She runs out into the pouring rain to go and comfort him in his time of need, but he's realized everyone he cares about is getting attacked.
So he tells her, "Can't you see?! Get away from me!"
My movie-nerd-self can’t enjoy that scene anymore once I noticed the dry dirt road down the street, just outside the rain machine. The emotions run deep but damned if I can’t stop looking over Russell’s shoulder to see that 😕
@@opalviking Nooooo! I didn't know about that. I believe you but I also refuse to go see it for myself. I'll remain in blissful ignorance :D
@@seanahern9511 I won’t tell you about the scene where Curly Bill shoots Fred White then- that’s ruined for me, too 🧐 Ive watched this movie thousands of times. It’s a problem lol
The part that doesn't make sense to me is when Doc, by the creek, says Ringo isn't seeking revenge, but a reckoning.
Then a little later in the bed, he says Ringo is seeking revenge.
@@Gutslinger I thought in the scene by the creek they were talking about Wyatt. "If they killed my brother, I'd want revenge too." Talking about the brother who died and finally kickstarted Wyatt becoming a U.S Marshall and hunting the gang down. So that hunt, is the reckoning.
The story of Tombstone in real life is actually quite exciting as far as Cowboy stories are concerned. The shoot out at the OK corral was a real event. This movie definitely exaggerates aspects of real American West history, but ultimately that's what makes stories so great is their fantastic retelling. Truth be told to read the real history is still a pretty fantastic story, but for the sake of drama the movie takes liberties. Great Reactions as always !
How do you define a great reaction?
@@orangewarm1 Umm, ones that entertain me? How else does one define a preference?
Sam Elliott's mustache is a national treasure!
I don't even particularly like westerns, but this just an absolute and utter classic of a film. Amazing performances all around. "I'll be your huckleberry" has been quoted so many times, it's just part of pop culture now. Honestly Wyatt and Doc's friendship is one of my favorite things in this movie. Everyone needs a ride or die friend like that.
Preach them words 👌🏾
Just noticed Doc rushing out into the River to back Wyatt’s crazy ass. He was the epitome of Ride or Die!
You mean misquoted lol he doesn't say Huckleberry, he says Huckle-Bearer. A huckle is the handle on the side of a casket. In other words he was saying he'd carry his casket once he's dead.
@@LexyThomas134 While your point is valid and probably should be right, it is actually written "huckleberry" in the script and Val Kilmer said himself on Twitter that he really did say "huckleberry" in the film.
@@LexyThomas134no, he says huckleberry. He is saying he will play the role of huckleberry Finn and give the guy what he wants.
What you're saying is the misquote
This isn't just a movie, it's based on history.
Doc Holiday was a dentist he moved west due to suffering from TB. His woman's nickname was Big Nose Kate.
Big Nose Kate's is a restaurant in Tombstone today.
@@ScarriorIII I’m from Southern AZ myself. Love walking the streets and saloons of tombstone. It’s like time stopped in the west
Doc Holliday’s character is awesome. He’s like the Scoundrel/Rogue type but with a good heart. Whoever said “there’s no honor amongst thieves”, Doc was the exception.
"He's a manly man, but he acts like a vegan". 🤣🤣 That part had me in pieces laughing.
Doc was a educated man from Georgia, he was a dentist, he traveled around and went west....he loved the west and became very talented and rubbed shoulders with badass people 😉
Doc was the star of this movie. Incredible acting by Val Kilmer.
Kurt Russel’s character in Bone Tomohawk is just as good. Great characters in a very solemn movie that shows how difficult those times were. Cheers Ash!
Sam Elliot's moustache has its own voice.
At the end Doc Holiday looks at his feet and laughs
Cause he used to say that when died it was going to be with his boots on
In a fight I suppose
Great movie great reaction
Thanks for this reaction
San Elliot’s voice filtered through the mustache is the best part
I like how more people are starting to do reactions to Tombstone and Westerns in general!
The gunfight lasted less than four minutes on a cold sunny Christmas late afternoon. Holliday and the Earps were charged, tried and acquitted. But we’re warned by the Judge to leave Tombstone immediately. They did. The Clantons and the Youngers had many friends in Tombstone.
The gunfight took place on Oct 26, not Christmas Day although it was pretty chilly. Virgil was shot on Dec 28 and Morgan was murdered the following March.
"That woman in the street " was Josephine the dancer he had met at the saloon. She really was the love of his life and was with him when he died in 1929. After the Tombstone chapter, Wyatt and Josephine were “hardly ever apart, though never legally married, for the next 45 years.” They staked mining claims throughout the West, including Alaska, and dabbled in horse racing, real estate, casinos, and even the movie business. She died penniless in December 1944 in Los Angeles, and both she and Wyatt's remains are interred in Colma, Calif. They never had children.
You notice that in the shootout at the OK Corral. Wyatt and his brothers didn’t draw their guns right away. It’s an old school gun handling. You don’t draw your weapon unless you intend to use it. The director captured it perfectly in that scene.
This is the only modern western I will watch repeatedly. Val and Kurt were everything in this movie. Kurt was so into this, that he has a son named Wyatt. A little actor you may recognize as John Walker from Falcon and the Winter Soldier show, perhaps? 😉😁
Val should have gotten an academy award for this or something. He was perfect as Doc Holliday. My favorite line is of course "I'm your Huckleberry."
What's funny is that he sounded just like the Hannah Barbera cartoon character saying that exactly how he did. 🤣 But it works for him.
My dad’s favorite movie so I knew it in and out as a kid. When kids would talk trash in sports growing up I would respond with “I’m your huckleberry” and a smirk. They would always be so confused. Doc Holliday the GOAT
Maybe they was confused because its not Huckleberry like people seem to think lol its Huckle-Bearer. A huckle is the handle on the side of a casket. So in other words, he was saying he'd carry his casket once he's dead haha
@@LexyThomas134 yah that’s definitely it Lexy
@@LexyThomas134 😐
Supposedly the greatest gunslinger was either Doc Holliday or Billy the Kid. Their names became legendary while they were still alive..
Don’t forget about Wild Bill Hickok of Deadwood. Legend he was fast as hell too
@@MrMetamorFitness True. Actually yea he is probably the best. Good call
Bro, not only did Doc spin both guns while holding his tin cup, but he spun each one in a different direction at the same time. One overhand, one underhand. It impressed the hell out of me when I slowed it down and saw that.
This is my favorite western of all time. They recently auctioned off Wyatt Earp's vendetta shotgun. If I was rich I would've bought it for sure.
Underestimated western.
3:10 To Yuma - Russell Crowe
Also, his character Ben Wade is said to be one of the greatest up there with Billy The Kid and Doc Holliday.
Word!
Yes!! That movie is an underated gem
The ORIGINAL 3:10 TO YUMA starring Glenn Ford and Van Heflin is better than the one with Russell Crow.
Probably the best western gunslinger was Wild Bill Hickok. Not only was he insanely fast, but accurate as well. In my hometown Wild Bill won a duel by shooting his opponent, Dave Tutt, through the heart from 75 yards away.
I think you missed that Billy Bob Thornton was in this as well. He was the dude K. Russell slapped around and through him out by the ear.
"I think this is the only time in the movie so far where anybody has been in cover."
*Wyatt casually wades through the middle of a river*
Also when Doc looks at his bare feet and goes "this is funny" it's because he always assumed he'd die "with his boots on" in combat, dying in bed was not something he ever thought would happen xD
I was thought it's cause he loses feeling in his feet. Notice his eyes go wide right before he looks down. I think that was something that happened with TB. I could be wrong. Either way, the symbolism of "dying with your boots on" is still there. This scene always stayed in my memory even after all these years.
Bill F'n Paxton owns this movie. But that's no surprise because he owned every movie. Even the ones he wasn't in. RIP you beautiful legend.
An interesting story, Stephen Lang, who played Ike Clanton, spent most of his time on camera completely drunk in order to capture the spirit of that character.
He says 'huckleberry.' An authentic archaic southern expression meaning "I'm the man for the job." The script says huckleberry. Val Kilmer's autobiography is titled, "I'm Your Huckleberry." If you turn on closed captions on the DVD, Blu-Ray, etc, they read, 'huckleberry.' In fact the ONLY place where it says hucklebearer is the internet where many people have bought into the Mandela Effect.
I was reading a book on the old wild west at the time this film came out & was amazed how historically accurate they made this film 🎥🤔🤩👍
In reality…When Wyatt killed curly bill…it was down hill. Wyatt had the high ground (no obi-wan pun intended) and then shot curly bill with 2 shotgun blasts that nearly cut his body in half.
Wyatt said doc holiday was the fastest gunslinger he’s ever seen in his time.
I just came across this reaction and figured I'd add in a little bit of historical trivia:
After the events of Tombstone and the OK Corral, Wyatt Earp spent his twilight years in Los Angeles when the film industry was picking up. He wanted a movie made to show his side of the story regarding Tombstone, and he ended up spending a lot of time as a consultant on the early Western movies. He worked very closely with a young production assistant named Marion Robert Morrison, who he told all his stories and exploits to. These stories inspired the young Marion to pursue his dreams of becoming an actor himself. His given name wasn't quite star material, however, so he took the stage name of John Wayne.
I LOVE that you picked up on the other guy making a mistake by showing off his skills with a gun in the bar to Doc, because that's EXACTLY what Doc was trying to do, so he could gauge him and know exactly how to beat him later.
So glad you liked this movie man I have such fond memories of Me and my Dad watching this as a kid🙏 Rock on Ash👍
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MOVIE.
*oh and by the way*
Doc tricked Wyatt into giving him his badge to be able and go and have a shootout with Johnny Ringo. He also over-exaggerated his sickness so he can snap off and kill ringo since he knew Wyatt would go and duel Johnny.
“We don’t even need the other two!” Oh true boo! So true!!
In the old days the term “huckleberry“
referred to someone who was just the man for the job to get it done.
This is one of my all-time favourite films. Val Kilmer is a chameleon.
One of the minor roles here: the guy that Val Kilmer stabbed in the side over a card game in his first scene was Frank Stallone, younger brother of Sylvester.
When Wyatt and Doc go on their revenge quest against the cowboys, in real life the newspapers would report the shoutouts day by day! It was called “Earp’s Vendetta Ride”!
My favorite line is when they ask Doc while he's still there with his condition.
"Wyatt Earp is my friend."
Why Hell, I got lots of friends.
"I don't "...
The river scene is historically accurate. The shotgun he used was loaned to him by Fred J. Dodge who worked for Wells Fargo as a detective. He also gave Wyatt Earp a job riding shotgun on the stage coach when he was younger before all of this.
In the old west, it was a bit of an "honor" or "distinction" to die "with your boots on" (i.e in a gunfight as opposed to dying in bed from illness) I know others have commented on Doc Hollday's last words (in the movie and IRL) referencing his surprise that he was doing the latter rather than the former. My purpose is not to repeat that info
But in the real Tombestone there is a graveyard called "Boot Hill" (yes, the cemetery dates from that time period and still exists). "Boot Hill" is reserved for to those who died "with their boots on" (it's where the men the Earps shot in the gunfight at the OK coral are buried I believe) If you re-watch near the beginning when we and the Earps both first drive in Tombestone you catch a glimpse of "Boot Hill" cemetery, (or a replication) and it's most famous headstone (or again, possibly a replication)
"Here lies Lester Moore
Four slugs from a .44
No Les, No Moore."
I was born and raised in Dodge City Ks and these men's pictures are on the wall in the courthouse. It's a huge presence there. Some of the movie was exaggerated but close. An entirely different level of bad ass
Doc looked like Death as he stood in the shadows of that tree, and he ended up being just that.
Wow Ash I love the high energy you bring to these reaction vids brother! Tombstone has always been my favorite western hands down.
For classic Western icons, I highly recommend watching The Duke himself, John Wayne
Wild Bill Hicock is considered the greatest gunslinger of all time.
The best part about Val and Kurt is that you ABSOLUTELY believe how badass they are, like it doesn't look cheesey
Young Guns 1& 2 are also really good. They tell the story of the Lincoln County War in New Mexico. And Showcase "William H. Bonnie" aka "Billy the Kid" also "Wild Bill" about "William Hickock" with Jeff Bridges is good. Kevin Costner is also amazing in "Open Range". Along with his Modern Day Western Series "Yellowstone" and the Prequel "1883" are worth checking out.
Val Kilmer needed an Oscar for this.
Check out “Hostiles” (2017), brutal western with Christian Bale.
And “Cold in July” (2014), almost has like modern western vibes. Underrated mystery thriller.
Another great observation - Ringo did give away something to Doc when he was showing off. Doc knew he had the mental edge after that.
Val playing Doc is one of the best characters in cinema. Every single little thing in this movie is awesome.
One of my favorite movies of all time. I think you missed the final words of the last scene. She said her family was rich.
4:40 It took the producers two months to trap enough mustaches in the wilds of Australia and Turkey to have enough for the entire cast . . . . They say a stunt coordinator was killed by a rogue mustache on set before it could be broken 🙂
my favorite part of the movie is 21:14 when they all stop and he says "thats not what I want" but doc just walks right past them with zero fucks given.
Your channel is addictive Ash. This is the 5 th reaction I’ve watched today. Especially love the back and forth with you and your girl
Bro, Deadwood series is excellent. 3 seasons of the best wild west action and suspense.
Ashes new favorite word: Huckelberry XD This is truly my favorite Western. The highlights is not the gunfights but more the scenes where the brothers and Doc just shows us how badass they are without firing a single shot. Sadly Doc passed away all alone. His lover also known as Big Nose Kate would live on and its actually really exciting to read about her and her relationship to Doc
Hahaha gonna be using that everyday! Thank you for recommending it mate, appreciate you ❤️
Dude smoking the opium pipe is my favorite scene!
Doc Holidays grave is near me in Glenwood Springs Colorado. Dude is a legendary figure out here in the 4 corners area.
Everything that happened in this film is pretty true to life. Wyatt did walk out in the middle of the river and kill Curly Billl. While Curly Bills shotgun blast missed Wyatt. The OK Coral fight was taken from life with things like where Doc used the shotgun to scare the horse then shot the Cowboy in the side. Ike did run up to Wyatt in the middle of it who in fact did say “either get to fighting or get out of the way’ (paraphrased) they did go on a revenge kick against the cowboys after Morgan was killed which was called “ the Earp vendetta Ride” and also killed Frank Stilwell at the train station in real life, and much more. However Doc did not kill Johnny Ringo it’s believed he died form suicide. The reason Doc looks at his feet just before he dies and says “isn’t that funny.” Is because he always thought he would die with his boots on.
It seems weird to see guys just standing there out in the open, aiming, when the bullets are flying, but at the time it wasn't too crazy. In a gunfight where pretty much everyone is scared out of their minds and firing wildly, the guy who takes a moment to square up and aim properly could come out on top.
That is the thing, when bullets are flying, bombs going off, your adrenaline is pumping your fine motor skills go to hell. It take a calm cool head to shoot straight.
The Oscars should give an honorary award to Val for that performance...
Sam Elliot and Clint Eastwood were in a movie together. A western Musical called “Paint your wagon.” A really nice film and fun film. It’s old but it’s great.
I appreciate your thorough reaction. I realize TH-cam is not letting you guys properly react to movies anymore (well, posting your reaction, I mean), but I like that you let the reaction run to 40, 45 minutes so we can see your reaction to the cool bits. :) I just watched a new reaction to "Shawshank Redemption" elsewhere and it was only 10 minutes long. No point to that! Don't be afraid to go long with classics - keep it going!
You nailed it mate! I rather it be 45-50 minutes and have the best scenes than make a short one..mad love to you sir for recognising this ❤️
@@justtrustash You got it, sir!
Love this movie especially Val Kilmer’s Doc Holliday. Two other great westerns: Unforgiven and The Outlaw Josey Wales. Both Clint Eastwood movies and both are fantastic. Love the channel energy!
One of the most underrated reaction channels on TH-cam. Your energy is insanely infectious, and I’m totally here for it. Keep it up.
Little known fact, but Sam Elliot’s voice actually comes directly out of his mustache.
The handles on a casket are called a "Huckle" so Doc says, "I'm your Huckle-Bearer" as in I'll carry you in your casket. Just the most Gangster line to drop on someone when it's life or death, this is one of my all time favorites, thank you for reviewing
If you want another western I would suggest Silverado (1985). It's a fun Western with two constellations worth of star: Scott Glenn, Kevin Kline, Kevin Costner, , Danny Glover, Brian Dennehy, Jeff Goldblum and more. That and *nobody* else has reacted to it.
Yes I will echo this. Silverado happened to be the first Western I ever say, as a child. The next one was True Grit with John Wayne. But I would love a Silverado reaction.
@@firekrys "Today, my jurisdiction ends here."
"Pick up my hat"
I could listen to Sam Elliott talk all day. One of those voices that relaxes you as soon as you hear it
15:25 Please notice that Val Kilmer rotates the guns in separate directions. Awesome detail
fun fact....the main actors Sam,Kurt, Etc. had a facial hair growing contest when they knew they were gonna film....Sam hands down took the pot..lol...and this is Val's best role and yes he was robbed of the Oscar he didn't even get a nomination for it....which tells me the Academy is a load of Horseshit even though Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive that year 1993....tbh 1993 some of the best movies came out sooo was just dumb bad luck they were up against real heavy hitters.
This is one of my fave movies. Great reaction. Doc Holiday was the real deal. His nickname comes because he was an actual doctIor of dentistry before he got that lung disease Tuberculosis I think, "lunger". I like how men and women dressed in older times. They had style.
“That mustache deserves an Oscar” 😂
My favorite line in the whole movie: "I'm here huckleberry."
I don't even know why. It just gets me.
After Wyatt's shootout in the river, the men asked Doc why he was risking his life to help Wyatt. Doc said because Wyatt is his friend. .The men said that they had plenty of friends. Doc replied, "Well I don't".
What was wrong with Doc Holliday was that he had advanced tuberculosis. His questionable lady friend was Mary Katherine Horony Cummings, aka Big Nose Kate, they were together, on and off, for many years. She nursed him through the worst of his illness. Though we don't see her at the end of the movie, she was caring for him when he died. This movie makes it seem like she was bad for him, but in reality she was pretty devoted to him. I loved that you picked up on that.
Also, the incident at the river when Wyatt walked right into the cross-fire and didn't get shot did really happen, and Doc Holliday was as fast and deadly as depicted. Ike Clanton did survive the war between the Earps and the Cowboys, and was killed later as described.
I saw somewhere the whole reason these old westerns are also called COWBOY movies is because COWBOYS was an actual gang back in the day who wore Red Bandanas (they were like the Mafia / Cartels of the era).
I love how Ash immediately grasped how Ringo showing off “laying out all his cards” was his penultimate undoing.
Also, Ringo’s “Juventus stultorum magister” statement ended up being fatally ironic
