Thanks for visiting The Uncovered Files Channel! I hope you enjoy the video!
Now do John Wesley Hardin
Yes I really enjoyed it ! ❤
This video is lame and inaccurate. The fake narration is horrible.
No thanks for the AI generated narration and possibly video editing.
I stopped watching this video a couple minutes in NOT because I am not interested in hearing this history, but because of the use of AI to narrate! Use a real human being to voice your videos dammit! This AI voicing videos crap is so stupid!
Kilmers portrayal of Doc in tombstone deserves an award of some kind. He really nailed that role. "I'm ya huckleberry". Tombstone was pretty much a perfect movie. Start to finish
He sure does. I loved him in that movie. I've seen it several times not and after this I am going to watch it again. Great movie.
Dennis Quaid was better in the Kevin Costner movie Wyatt Earp. Tombstone was a better movie but Quaid was better.
@gpwcowboy I respectfully disagree good sir.
He was good tho. I just liked Kilmers portrayal better.
He didn't say "ya"
Val Kilmer should’ve gotten an Oscar for that role.
Yes !!!
I'm ya huckleberry
Yes
Yes he should have...
❤❤❤❤
Val Kilmer deserved an Oscar nomination for his character performance in this film.
As good as he was its mirrored by how bad Kurt Russell was IMO
im your huckleberry
I agree, When ever i think of that movie. He is the first one that comes to mind. He is the reason i want to watch it again. I wish they could have done more with that corrector.
He deserves to win
That would depend if an “Oscar” is good enough for Doc Holliday.
Let's vote to give Val an academy award,as doc holiday before it's too late
It is too late lol
You Got My Vote ❤❤❤❤
They already voted on that years and years ago
I'm still in shock that Val K. didn't get an award for this great movie! John P.
I agree. He lived that character and breathed life into it. 100%, one of the best roles I've seen performed.
His best work in my opinion
It really is Kilmers best work. It definitely wasn't Batman, but I still rank him above Clooney.
30+ years is a long time to be in shock. I think there might be another issue that needs to be addressed.
I liked him in Heat also. The movie that is.
Doc Holiday lived bushido, without even knowing it he had the mentality of a Samurai; because of his tuberculosis he knew he was already dead, because he was already dead he had nothing left to lose, because he had nothing to lose he had no fear and because he had no fear he was invincible.
Tombstone..I've seen about 50 times..only film for a Sunday with my late Grandfather..yep pretty much the perfect Western
Bat Masterson knew Doc Holiday personally. He said that Doc had an uncontrollable temper when drinking and when drunk was an exceedingly dangerous man. I believe every word of it.
I liked Dennis Quaid's Doc Holiday in Kevin Costner's Wyatt Earp. Nasty drunk!
Think about his entire life though, he was bright, talented, successful, and mild mannered. Then he found out he had a death sentence. Instead of being a total psychopath, as most men with nothing to lose become, he dedicated himself to friendship, however flawed. He wasn’t like the cowboys, who went around murdering , raping and stealing from anyone they could. The time he lived in is a culture no one today can understand or empathize with
If you dying, FAFO
hahaha yea I do too !!!...
“ I have two guns, one for each of you!” If you watch that notice he spins the one gun forward and the other one backward.
Now I have to watch that again .
THE CAPTION SAID THE REAL "DOC HOLLIDAY", WOULD GIVE US CHILLS..... NEWSFLASH: VAL KILMER (played that role SO BRILLIANTLY) THAT HE GAVE US "CHILLS!" 😮😮😮😮HIS PERFORMANCE WAS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
He gave you the sense of DOC. Holiday in a new way
@@jimmygoins3770 I Agree 100%
That’s an undeniable truth!
Val Kilmer...I'm your huckleberry...say when. Just love hearing him say those words.
Absolutely loved Val Kilmers portrayal in this film, hes a superb actor and got a really shitty deal in life, both his version of Batman and The Saint were excellent. He truly showed his range in the saint.
Sorry but the Saint sucked. If you want to talk about the credit he deserves you would immediately point to films such as Wonderland. Even his part in Felon. Those two parts show actual range. The Saint was a joke on mankind.😂
@@demsandlibsareswinecancer4667 What? I love 'The Saint'. I mean, it's not to the caliber that 'Tombstone' or 'Heat' is but I still love it. I also love the movie 'Thunderheart', which I think is an underrated film of his. And being an absolute fan of The Doors, the movie and his portrayal of Jim Morrison is also incredible, to me anyway. 🤷🏻♀
@@demsandlibsareswinecancer4667 you like what you like and I will like what I like.........
@@JustTanya. the doors was a superb film. Glad you enjoyed the saint as well 😁
No one could have played jim Morrison better 💯
I don't really care for westerns but Tombstone was an excellent movie.
I agree, Val should have been awarded best Supporting role at least. !!! I continue to watch this move just for Val Kilmer.
indeed...
Val absolutely dominated this movie, in a good way!
These AI written scripts drive me crazy
theyre so bad and annoying. sounds like an elementary school book report.
@@rip0vThe jumping around on the time line made me stop watching about three minutes in to the video. Very poorly constructed script.
Agreed. The same voices are getting annoying.
Absolutely dreadful.
"Talk about an outrageous moment!"
I loved Val Kilmer’s portrayal of Doc Holliday; best there ever was. 💝👍
I agree 👍
He was the best I’ve seen. I loved that whole show.
The best portrayal definitely... Dennis Quaid's portrayal was like ordering Doc Holliday from Temu
If y’all haven’t watched his documentary, it’s a good idea to do that.
I agree 👍
Wyatt wrote that he was the nerviest...speediest gunslinger he had ever seen and known...My fav gunslinger.
only a complete loser in life would have a favorite gun slinger LOL
Ill be your Huckleberry asshole.
@@rcg9573You seem like you project your hate and insecurities on others in attempt at “Humor”, or “Trolling”, when in reality you’re just exactly what you called this person here.
After Tombstone how could anyone not love Doc.Thanks Val RIP 🙏
As of Feb. 22, 2024, Val Kilmer is very much alive. Struggles with his illness, but alive.
Yeah I was gonna tell @jessedavis7555 Val is good still kicking it , its just his voice , Val Kilmer did some bad @ss roll, one of my favorites was "HEAT", and not the Sandra Bullock and Melissa Comedian lady
Movie HEAT
@@jmpetersrn I thought he passed away during the Maverick movie but thanks for the update 🙏
Ah'm you're huchelberry. Said next to the tree in "Tombstone" while pre-empting Wyatt's fight. Great movie. Kilmer should have gotten an award. Loved Kurt Russel & Sam Elliot in it, too. Thanks for the historical perspective. 🎉
hucka bearer
For anyone that hasn't visited Tombstone Arizona, make sure you do when passing through. I was stationed at Fort Huachuca in 2008 and used to go. It is still set up just like the old west and even have restaurants with 5 cent beer lol , and then they bring you a shot of beer. Doc Holiday and Wyatt Earp everywhere and horse and buggys
Same…1997! Huachuca
Definitely, been there twice ,reckon we'll go again in a few moths here
Sounds boring
ur shoes untied@@devilghostface8798
Yep, 2000 - 2003 at Huachuca
I've seen letters for him from teachers , students, and locals of small towns , all saying don't want him their you kill people, he shot and killed people in every state he's been in, in towns and only seen inside one court room , Doesn't matter if it was 10 U.S. marshals they wouldn't try to arrest him , they were all afraid of him . He's still a legend .died from his own illness,not shot or stabbed to death like all the rest .
‘Doc’ Holliday died in the year 1887 , aged 35 or 36 . At that time , Europe was still ruled by Emperor’s , Kings , and Kaisers . Holliday , had he lived another 30 + years , would have seen great social change in Europe , which I think that he would have appreciated , given his education .
Damn! Doc holiday was a smart ass in every way ? Accomplished dentist, gambler and gunfigher ....what a life he had .❤
u know the bird
I don't know why the fact that surprised me most was that "Doc" Holliday wasn't just a nickname, he actually *was* a doctor.
Wow, must be a city folk. That’s one of the first things I asked about him as a kid.
@@jdlambo6926Ah yes because city folk are automatically dumb, even though they’re likely to have more advanced education compared to small towns, Doc is a very common abbreviation of Doctor, so weird how many peoples mind go to “Ah probably a country redneck” or “Probably a city boy” any time they see the occasional person get something wrong that has the smallest thing to do with being in country or a city 😂
He was a dentist in Dallas.
Doc holiday was that buddy who drinks too much and always manages to get his friends into fights …… but you can’t cut him lose because even though he’s the cause of half your fights, he never fails to have you back and make sure you make it out of the suck
Spot on!
I always found Doc Holliday's story interesting but even more so after watching Val Kilmer play him on Tombstone. I still cannot believe to this day that Tombstone was not nominated for any award except like a MTV movie award or something. And the fact that Val Kilmer didn't get nominated, let alone win, is just f-ing ridiculous.
Doc was a true badass.... Hell , they were all badasses...... The movie Tombstone is a badass movie.....🎬🎥🔥💪👊🙏
sure gramps LOL
I doubt you would say that if you really knew these types..some are no different today.
Criminals and gamblers who became the law enforcers. Nothing's changed 😂
That's what I said with all the corruption that's gain speed now. When you have a president that weaponizes the criminal justice system from federally on down. Growing up on the east side of Detroit 60s 70s 80s and 90s all these people that are coming back for new court proceedings have all been found innocent. How could this happen living in a Democrat state of Michigan in such as a democratic City Detroit? DNA doesn't lie. And I never hear the Democrats that convicted these people and sent them for likely long prison sentences 20 years 30 years you never hear an apology. Or how they got it wrong. What is the taxpayers that's do the suffering when they got to pay out big lawsuits. And some of these judges that are still judges today truly shouldn't be on the bench. It's outrageous today and what they do. Even to innocent people I remember a group of us kids in the 60s when an old black wise man told us the government the FBI are not your friends. They will destroy you as well as bankrupt you. Just by the words you use speaking of truthism.
Kilmer will always be our Huckleberry!
I love the movie Tombstone and I think that every actor in that movie should get an award because they did their roles perfectly especially Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer. Such a great movie they should have gotten Awards and I'm sad that they haven't I bought the movie just to watch it because I saw parts of it coming attractions and had to have the movie so I can watch it and I watched it many many times
Probably Val Kilmer's best movie.
Interesting documentary. Gowing up in the 50's and 60's with the Old West gun fighting legend stories; I remain a fan of Doc Holiday's "Legend."
I grew up in Griffin Ga. Been to his dentist office, was very small. Felt good to be where one of my heroes was working. Hometown hero.
We need some Doc's and Earp's in America again
Given how tough you had to be just to even make it to adulthood in those days, I have a feeling a "slender and ailing Holiday" would stand up pretty well to many people in the present day.
I came across a 7th grade final exam from his era… yeah, no way most adults today could pass
@@akaLuptonPittmanYou mean they didn't have a bunch of DEI questions for the Gen-Zers 😂
Given how my grandpa and my dad were, we're now a bunch of p$skies. I'm 61,and have been working since I was 13,but nowhere as near as tough as those before me in my family.
@@100puremustard5 = low IQ loser 🙂
@@johnlennon8653 sure boomer, LOL
0:53 That's not a picture of his mother. That's Big Nose Kate Horony, a companion of Doc's. Glad to see you did some research instead of just grabbing the first picture you found.
@Miksalot , Sooo true!! It’s nice when it’s done properly ! lol 😂🎉
I noticed that, too. Wrong picture 😂
Right? I stopped watching after realizing this was poorly researched and most of the reference pictures are from the movie. Sad when things are done subpar.
Nice.
If you look at a real picture of Wyatt Earp and look at Kurt Russell they're almost identical brilliant work on Val kilmer's Park.
My daughter and son in law gave me the ultimate Father’s Day gift, 2 years ago.
A certified, signed poster of the movie Tombstone, with Val Kilmer’s autographed signature on it.
I love my daughter and son in law 😂
Should have got an award for his acting in that. Robbed of it.
Val’s character stole that movie even though it was supposed to be about Wyatt Earp!!! 😎💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏
Awesome
@@edwardstroko4665 totally. Kurt Russell and Powers Boothe are both great actors and delivered amazing performances, but Val Kilmer and Michael Biehn stole the show.
@@Ryan_Rants The Latin duel followed by the pistol/tin cup twirling contest is one of the greatest scenes in a movie, ever!
Whew! What a party! Good history. Doc lived 20 lifetimes compared to us.
No chills, but fascination about how intelligent and gifted John Holliday was, but it seems the hand of fate brought together "Doc" and the Earps, as it did in bringing together Jim Bowie, Davy Crocket, and William Travers, it's as though history was meant to be.
Travis
I’d rather live to 35 back then than to 85 now.
True that
I think the same way. Those years would be great
Same
His life may have been short but it had more in it than most of who live to see old age.
"where's Wyatt"
"Down by the river.... Walking on water."
Twice when referencing Doc Holliday's mother (Alice Jane Mckey) you show a picture of Big Nose Kate (Mary Katherine Horony Cummings).
I didn’t know that was her full name!! Thank u !! 🙏 😎💪🇺🇸
@@edwardstroko4665 i think davidwelkers point was you showed a picture of the wrong woman. Not the right woman without a full name!
I'm sure he caught that, was still an appropriate response.
So wrong.....
Whenever I hear this AI generated narrator I prepare to hear factual inaccuracies. I’m seldom disappointed.
Doc was known for going for an opponents weapon arm and not center mass, hence why there is disparity as to his accuracy, he was in fact damn good with his pistols and according to Earp, speediest, nerviest deadliest man with a revolver
I have grown up watching movies with Doc Holiday all my life, some good, some just okay until Val Kilmer. He was a masterpiece in his performance of Doc in Tombstone with Kirk Russell. He really brought Doc to life for me, mastering his southern accent. He was the best as far as I am concerned. Dennis Quaid took his performance as Doc to new heights as he lost so much weight he looked skeleton like and real sickly but still Val was the best ever in my opinion. I think it is so sad that Val Kilmer in real life became so ill and now has to wear a medical device to speak, it’s just a shame. A great actor lost. Val was so believable in TOP GUN. Regarding the post on Doc Holliday, I found it VERY INTERESTING.
Kurt Russell in Tombstone. Kirk Russell was his father.( Sea Hunt- old tv show. )
What amazes me is the screen play put so many historical events in one movie. I'm a fan of all the cast. Everyone loves this movie.
“Why Kate, you’re not wearing a bustle”!
"How lewd"
"Look dah-lin , its Johnny Ringo" 😁
There family is alive and well I’m friends with Ally Holiday his great great….. granddaughter I don’t find him scary he was just a product of his time!
I could watch tombstone everyday and not grow tired of it, Kilmer nailed it playing doc holiday, that makes the whole movie
Coldest scene ever:
Doc: “I’m your huckleberry.”
Bad guy: “I was just kidding back there when I said all that”
Doc: “I wasn’t.”
💪
"I was just foolin about"
At the 19min. 03sec. point in this video, a photo of Harry Lonabaugh (The Sundance Kid) and Etta Place is shown. Neither of the two had anything to do with Doc Holiday!
You must be new here
That's what happens when you have AI put together a video
Get rid of the AI, people!
Doc. didn't give me the chills! Just a man of his time!
Rest of the world dos so why not
The hardest thing for me personally when digging into history is to try my best to realize and conceptualize that for these people this was it, the future, the edge of time, the ultimate state of humanity's progress. Every aspect of their lives told them that they were living at the very edge of modernism. Most never thought nor could have even begun to conceive of the scientific, technological, and cultural shifts that were only a relatively few years in the future. No idea of the full impact of the industrial revolution, the advent of electronics technology, of instantaneous worldwide communications, all of the advances that we take for granted. They were, in their own minds, living in THE future. And we, no doubt, do the same. God only knows where humanity will be in 100 years. We are just a stair step along the same long path that our predecessors have traveled.
A guy at the turn of the century said that we should close the patent office because everything had already been invented. That was 125 years ago…… Idiot.
Interesting show. Always fascinated by old west history especially if it reveals true facts of characters like Holiday or Earp
No chills, most known already. 3/4 of pics are wrong...
Tombstone was one hell of a epic movie. Val should have gotten an Oscar for this work in it. Doc was one very interesting man.
Wow that's something I didn't know about that dude, I always thought the reason he couldn't be a dentist anymore was because had TB and was made to stop him due to that being a very contagious disease, but I was wrong and I guess back then they hadn't put 2 and 2 together and realized that TB was extremely contagious yet. Some things I didn't know but he is still a great historical figure who deserves respect and his family also especially his mother who worked hard with him to overcome that speech problem he had.
Kate flipped the script….the cowboys feeling some type of way….
This voice, all professional sounding with that ish sprinkled in cracks me up! 😂😭😂
Then they say corny shit like “talk about a sticky situation!”
This voice over guy is everywhere. He must be rich.
I got the same vibe. Probably a good story to tell but the narrator sounds like he's been snorting Novocaine
Lol, it's AI generated
@@hpblack1953hahahahahahaha that’s funny
@@hpblack1953Original commenter was joking lol, it’s obviously AI if you didn’t know.
Man I wish friends were loyal like they were back in the day. RIP Doc!
I was close to my mother as well. She pulled me away from trouble, and protected me. RIGHT OR WRONG! SHE WAS ALWAYS ON MY SIDE
And you don’t use kilometers when talking about the “Old West” and your target audience is ‘Merica ! Ugh. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The old west didn't use kilometers lmao
👌🏻🇺🇸
AI? 😂
@@100puremustard5Definitely AI. Fucking ridiculous. If AI at least use the voice of Morgan Freeman. 🍻🍻
Exactly 💯
I heard in another clip about doc that Holiday was friendly with Dirty Dave and it was him who taught him how to quick draw. Interesting that Holiday later teams up with the Earps against Dave. I wonder what went down between them for that to of happened
You're so right! One of the knocks against 80's metal is that they all followed the same formula - it worked but they sound a lot alike
I live near his grave in Glenwood. Due to erosion in that area, if he was buried there, he's more than likely not beneath the headstone anymore. I've not heard any locals ever mention that he was never there to begin with, however, it's common belief that he was indeed buried up on the hillside. Also, I can confirm the hot springs are great and very relaxing, but the odor of sulphur is very noticable. While you soak and relax, you gotta just pretend it doesn't smell like rotten egg flatulence!
My mom's twin sister has done our ancestry we are kin to Doc Holiday John Henry runs just about every two generations in our family also kin to the young lady that wrote Gone with the Wind and the one she wrote the character Dawn I believe was portrayed as her real life aunt which we are kin too as well we are also kin to Thomas Jefferson anyway that's about as far as we've gotten but it's pretty cool
Doc Holliday sure looks alot like Val Kilmer
Awesome!!!I went to the DOC HOLIDAY FESTIVAL IN DENISON,TEXAS IN 2016
I’ve been to Glenwood Springs. There’s a drugstore that has a brass plate on the doorstep that says this is where Doc Holiday passed. It used to be an infirmary. And I did take the long walk up to see his supposed grave it’s covered with shell casings fake money poker chips. It was well worth the walk but bring plenty of water.
The chills? No way, it was more like telling of a wild and filling life of a legendary man. I would say exciting is more accurate than chilling.
When you named your town Tombstone, what exactly did you think would happen?
I was told that he was one of the Best Shot in the Wild West.
Love the story of Doc Holliday! I grew up in griffin and then moved west, so funny how our paths mirror each other
The "Theodore Judah" pictured was responsible for the original route survey for the Central Pacific Railroad, the western portion of the First Transcontinental Railroad. He died in the mid 1860s, so is not the person referred to in the Narrative.
My great grandfather Doc Ozrow Lincecum met Doc Holiday and John Wyatt once. He was the grandson of civil war Commander John Peachlynn Lincecum. Who was the son of the internationally famed botanist and American pioneer Doctor Gideon Lincecum. John Peachlynn grew up alongside Powhatan Henry Clark here in Grant Parish. Powhatan was the commander of the famed buffalo soldiers. My other great grandfather Homer Alonzo Nugent met the James clan and Younger brothers in Arkansas once. It’s a small world and we’re all literally kin folk in some form or fashion. You’d be amazed to uncover your ancestry and how incredible connected to one another we are.
That's extremely intertaining and informative!
Thank you!
Val Kilmer should have won an Oscar for his performance as Doc in Tombstone. Tombstone is my favorite movie. I was a sophomore in high school when it came out and my girlfriend and I went to see it in the theater. I didn’t want to see it because at that time westerns were not that good. She loved Val Kilmer and had a huge crush on him and that’s why we went in the first place. I’m glad that we did because I loved it so much I went the next week with my buddies to see it.
Did you show a picture of Big Nose Kate, and say it was Doc's mother? Curious, and not sure so thought I'd ask.
Tuberculosis doesnt run in the family
Using ai voices is sloppy and lazy
IKR. I was like, um Tuberculosis is not hereditary. It's an airborne bacterial disease. It may seem hereditary if you're living with someone who has it but it's just because you're around them and they're coughing spreading the disease. That's like saying COVID is hereditary. 🙄
I figure if he needs a AI voice to narrate, his real voice must be much worse, I'll settle for AI then.
He can't be that bad if he'll bear your huckleberries for you after you pick them.
actually what he said was "I'll be your huckle bearer" refering to the handles on a coffin that back then was called a "Huckle"
Great video about Doc Holliday. So much I didn't know about him. He seems like a great, but don't mess with him, guy.
Born 8-14-1851, died 11-8-1887 (36 yrs). He was only 29 when he moved to Tombstone and did all that gun slingin!
I used to live in Valdosta, GA and never knew he moved there.
I’ve lived there since 1986, Valdosta has a lot of significant history aside from it being his childhood home.
What is so chilling about this story? It's somewhat remarkable, also grounding, but nothing about this is "chilling".
Gotta get clicks baby , or, I wouldn't like living in these areas at the time
Doc Holiday deserves his own stand alone film.
Doc Holliday is to this day a pure gem of Americana, what an interesting man.
F these AI videos
“The Cowboys, feeling some type of way…”
I’m out.
I used to work with a Holliday who was indeed a descendant from Doc Holliday and there are similarities in appearance. Name was Robert Holliday. Guy was a very accomplished type. One day he caught his drug addict daughter and her boyfriend stealing from him and as they drove away he jumped on the vehicle and ended up getting thrown off and killed.
Hollywood is home of the "Oscar's", why can't we start a petition or something to get Val Kilmer his "Oscar " that he deserves. I feel with enough signature's we can pull it off.
Only a few years older than Doc Holiday ‘back then’ 😆
What is the point of showing almost all of the Tombstone movie?
They didn't have video cameras in the 1800's.
Because people don’t like to “read books” without pictures. And…. No video cameras back then.
Very interesting information, I really enjoyed Tombstone, interesting that Earp wasn't at his bedside, but the line "there's no normal life, just life" is powerful.
My introduction to Doc was back in 2000 when he was portrayed as an old man riding into 40 mile in the Yukon on a contemporary remake of Call of the Wild.
I find it fascinating how they can track the history of one man in virtually every aspect of his life. Back then most things weren't recorded like today.
I had the pleasure of meeting Buck Taylor aka creek Johnson and he signed my old double barrel shotgun.
Showing Kate Naroney as his mom? More AI tripe.
John H. Holliday's mother was the sister of my G-Great grandmother. Both the cleft pallet and a fierce temper runs in the family. More than once that temper has both saved family members life and landed us in deep trouble.
The reason the life of Wyapp Earp and his life is so popular and well known is because Wyatt Earp and Josephine were living in Los Angeles just after the turn of the 20th century and Wyatt began consulting on a bunch of the early western silent movies and became a well known man because he had been the marshal of Dodge City and thats hiw the story of the gunfight at the OK corral became so well known because he was one of the last surviving participants. He became so well known to the early hollywood durectors and actors that several of the early hollywood stars were paulbearers at his funeral.
