Val Kilmer should have won an academy award for his performance !

“I found him a loyal friend and good company. He was a dentist whom necessity 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 the nerviest, speediest, deadliest man with a six gun I ever knew.” -Wyatt Earp speaking of Doc Holiday

Doc saying ill be damned was because he always thought he would die in some gunfight with his boots on...not laid up in a bed....his adventures were stuff of legend....A Georgia dentist who contracted tuberculosis and headed west to the dry air for adventure

"Maybe Poker's not your game Ike, I know let's have a spelling contest" LMAO Val Kilmer kills these lines.

The cup twirling that Doc did actually did worry Ringo. Not only had he been drinking and was sick, but the movements he did with that cup matched every move that Ringo had done with the gun. That is the main reason that you could see fear in his eyes when they met up for their one on one.

What Doc was referring to at the end,was that he didn't have his boots on. There's a saying in America "I'll die with my boots on". Meaning I'll go down fighting.

I love how Doc instigates the shooting at the OK Corral with his wink...always makes me laugh

The brilliance of this film is the cast: Val Kilmer, Kurt Russell, Sam Elliott, Michael Biehn, Dana Delany, Bill Paxton , Powers Boothe and Steven Lang. Kilmer & Russell deserved Oscars

Back in the old days they had opium dens. That's what Curly was smoking. Wyatt's wife was taking "medicine" too. She was addicted. This is my favorite western.

Doc Holliday was a young successful dentist in Georgia and got Tuberculosis. He went west and his Hungarian lady was big nose Kate. Wyatt Earp had a Jewish wife Josephine Marcus and is buried in a Jewish Cemetary. His wife protected his legend in a book and television show. Wyatt Earp hung around the early movie sets and would tell stories of the west to the people there. You are good people who I enjoy watching.

The line that always gets me is when Wyatt, knowing he is saying goodbye for the last time to a loyal friend who stood by his side, helped him fight against injustice and even literally saved his life, stands there with tears in his eyes and says "Thanks for always being there". Wow! What an incredible moment! Just beautiful!

The shootout at the OK Corral is the most famous shootout in the history of the American Old West. Hollywood has made many different movies about this one event, that's how famous it is.

The old rancher they stayed with was Charleton Heston. A famous superstar from the Golden Age of movies. Planet of the Apes, The Ten Commandments....much more.

I truly enjoy watching your reactions. You two seem to be very nice people. May GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!

When Doc is dying in bed and looks at his feet and says "well ill be damned" is because he always believed he would die with his boots on.

"Living on room service" meant, to me, being on Honeymoon forever.

Yes this is a true story. These people were real. Wyatt Earp is buried in Northern California near San Francisco. Supposedly almost everything they say (especially Doc’s famous one liners) are real.

I do like that you asked "Do you think he wanted it?" when Curly Bill shot Fred White. When the actual event occurred, Fred White (who was a much younger man in real life) didn't die immediately. He lingered for about three days. Wyatt Earp also witnessed the shooting. The real Judge Spicer threw the case out not because there were not witnesses, but because Wyatt Earp and Fred White himself testified that the shooting had been accidental -- that the gun had gone off inadvertently, which was actually a known problem with that model of weapon. Bill was set loose, only to be killed by Wyatt Earp sometime later in an event.... ehhhhhh... marginally similar to the one portrayed in the film.

I really appreciate how both of you immerse yourselves into the movie, regardless of it's genre. You seem genuinely engaged. And I love your choices. ✌

"Johnny, what that Mexican mean that 'A Sick Horse is gonna come get us?" "He was quoting the Bible, Revelations: Behold a pale horse, the man who rode him was Death, and Hell followed with him."

This movie is fairly accurate to some historic accounts of Wyatt Earp's life up until the time of the shootout at the Creek. And that incident too, where Wyatt stepped out into the middle of a rain of bullets and bascially cut Curly Bill in half with his shotgun is supposedly actually true. They also say when it was over his trenchcoat was riddled with bullet holes but he didn't get a scratch. In fact for all of his gunfights he never once got hurt .He was apparently one of those charmed people destined to have a long life and there was nothing he could do that was going to prevent it.. After that shootout however the Earp Vendetta ride ended and they all skedaddled out of Arizona. Also when Ringo's body was found under a tree with a bullet hole in his head it was ruled a suicide but there has been a lot of speculation since as to how he really died. Doc, however, was known to be involved in a court case in Colorado at the time so unless those court documents are fake he likely didn't do it.

Everything you saw is true. Of course the dialog can't be but the actions actually took place. One of my favorite western film. Be safe y'all.

You’re gonna LOVE this one

This was the very first Western movie I saw growing up! And it's my #1 Favorite Of The Genre.

Glad y'all watched this. Awesome dialogue and lots of action. Even romance lol

"You tell them I'm coming, and HELL'S COMING WITH ME! YOU HEAR!? HELL'S COMING WITH ME!!"

The legendary OK Corral shootout, has been made so many times, but this one was the best one so far. Because it comes pretty close to what happened. The river shooting did happen. Wyatt and his brothers also made some shady deals but that was not shown in the picture. Kevin Costner, also plays the character in the movie, Wyatt Earp.

I've seen a rough translation of the Latin that Doc and Ringo were saying in the saloon. This isn't word of word, but it is what was meant. Wyatt: He's drunk. Doc (In Latin): There is truth in wine. Or. When I drink, I speak the truth. Ringo (In Latin): Do what you do best. Doc (In Latin): I don't think drinking is what I do best. Ringo (In Latin and touching his gun): People have to learn from experience. Or. People have to learn the hard way. Doc (In Latin): Rest in peace. Or. It's your funeral.

Ike Clanton was shot 1887 by a lawman who wanted to arrest him for cattle rustling, 6 years after the events in Tombstone.

18:11, the actual shootout was 30 seconds, but the producers decided to make it 3 minutes long

When he said "I'll be damned" 26:38 it is because he expected to die with his boots on, meaning in a fight, instead of dying in peace.

Wyatt was a lawman for like 30 years and never once got so much as sniffed by a bullet.

Classic western. Cast was execellant .. Val Kilmer was great , Russell was very good too .

Doc Holiday was originally dentist which is, where he got his nickname. He died of tuberculosis. He was originally from Valdosta, Georgia. He moved West, where it is was a dry climate, so he could survive longer with tuberculosis. It was usually called "consumption" back then.

The Gunfight at the OK Corral was shot according to the coronor's inquest record, right down to the placement of the combatants, and who shot who. The Hollywood embellishment was Doc's five shot, double barreled shotgun and his two 60 shooters.

Yes: based on a true story & Dr Holliday suffered from tuberculosis

Doc and Wyatt met for the first time at Fort Griffin, Texas. It was a rowdy town built next to the real Fort Griffin. The town was a big center for the Buffalo hide trade. Only a couple of buildings remain. I live about 15 miles from there.

Also, the "I'll be damned" at the end was in reference to him dying with his boots on.

Best modern western movie in my opinion. Some more dramatic, this best overall.

Sam Elliott and Stephen Lang appeared in Gettysburg (1993).

The thing to remember about Doctor John "Doc" Holiday is he lived on AFTER the events in Tombstone, Arizona which took place on October 26, 1881 Doc died, in bed, of Tuberculosis at Glenwood Springs, Colorado on November 8, 1887 and, indeed, his last words were (according to witnesses)"This is funny," He was 36. Wyatt Earp died on January 13, 1929 (no, it was a Sunday), He was then 80 years old,

What do you want on your tombstone... Wyatt Earp became so famous in Hollywood movies because he settled down in California. He was the last surviving participant of the OK Corral gunfight.. He also consulted on Hollywood westerns and got to know various actors and directors back in his time.

Doc Holiday was a gambler and dentist. He contracted TB while pulling a guys tooth and eventually died from it. He carried that cup around with him so he would not infect anyone while he was out drinking.

This movie is based on actual people and events. Many movies about the Shootout at the O.K. corral, but this is the best one.

When Doc looked down at his bare feet, he was acknowledging that he was dying in bed with his boots off, not dying in an unnatural way with his boots on. Doc had been a dentist in Georgia. When he contracted Tuberculous, he moved out West for the drier air, which was supposed to make it easier to live with TB, and increase the life span.

Tombstone Arizona is a nice place to visit.

Thank you for reacting to this!

I think I have run out of ppl who react to this movie! Thank you for doing it, we need more.

Doc Holiday always wanted to die with his boots on so when he noticed he was dying in his bare feet he thought it was funny.

You are good people to watch. Doc Holliday was a young successful dentist in Georgia. He had Tuberculosis and had to go west. His Hungarian lady was big nose Kate. Wyatt Earp had a Jewish Wife Josephine Marcus. She protected his legend in books and a television series. He hung out on movie sets and told stories of the west to the people there.

Yes, Doc died of tuberculosis, but in those days they called it "consumption". There was no way they could treat it. RIP.

Based on true events that happened in Tombstone, Arizona. The graves of the gang members are buried in Boothill cemetery just outside Tombstone. The shootout is famously known as "The gun fight at the OK corral"! 1881

Just adding a thought: As the parent of a child with depression - there is not necessarily a "reason" for someone having depression. For instance, there could be an imbalance in the chemicals in their brain...and little was known about it back then, and there was immense stigma with mental health problems. So, Maddie was depressed, maybe got stress migraines, began self-medicating with Opium (not alcohol) because she couldn't or wouldn't admit any mental problems, and it just made her worse.

The only western I ever watched and enjoyed 👍

A tombstone is another word for a grave marker. The town was named it because the guy that founded it was told he wasn't going to find anything but his tombstone when he initially went out there. ....then he discovered gold and named the the town as a private joke. Also: "huckleberry" was another word for pal bearer, guys that carried your coffin. "daisy" is a flower that dies more slowly than most other flowers when picked.

Wyatt Earp lived until 1929 in Los Angeles, where he worked as an advisor in Hollywood for the silent western films. Mega western star John Wayne was just starting his acting career and met Earp on the movie sets. Wayne studied Earp and listened to his stories of how he tamed the cow towns in Kansas. Wayne later said that whenever he played an authoritative character, he would imitate Wyatt Earp.

Fun Fact: that bottle of medicine Wyatts wife needs "for her headaches" is an opium tincture.

Yes, Wyatt Earp was a famous lawman, and Doc Holiday was a real gambler/gunfighter/rogue. The gunfight at the OK Corral was the most famous gunfight in U.S. history. That scene where Wyatt waded into the river really happened that way, according to written accounts of the time. Doc Holiday had all the best lines in this movie. In my opinion, the best of the modern westerns. If you want to see some classic westerns, you should check out High Noon, the original Magnificent Seven, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and Once Upon a Time in The West. Another great movie with Kurt Russell is Escape From New York.

he said I'll be damned because its a known fact that when you die, your spirit leaves from your feet and work up towards the head

Not too long ago I heard an interesting fact about the “Wild West”. First, the Wild West was a defined period from 1865-1900. Second, in that period, in the 15 western states, despite what movies tell us, there was only 8 bank robberies. We’ve been lied too since movies started! But this happened, of course artistic license was taken.

I never get tired of seeng first time reactions to this movie. And I'm looking forward to seeing your reaction to another in that category, THE DARK KNIGHT. You never disappoint. Aa to this movie, along with being Val Kilmer's most memorable performance and one of Billy Bob Thornton's first notable roles, TOMBSTONE also has the distinction of featuring 3 screen legends from Hollywood's Golden Age: Charlton Heston as rancher Henry Hooker, Harry Carey, Jr. as marshall Sam White and Robert Mitchum as the Narrator. IT also features Wyatt Earp III (a descendent of the real Wyatt Earp) as Billy Claiborne.

It's funny how a simple moustache and nobody recognizes Kyle Reese from The Terminator 😂

this one of those movies thats not just fun but 80-90% accurate

Yes, this was based on history, with a few Hollywood "tweaks". Many movies were made on this Historical subject. I've heard Wyatt Earp charging into the creek against the Cowboys to shoot Curly Bill was somewhat accurate according to eye witnesses of the event. Doc Holiday was an incredibly fast & dangerous gunslinger, even with Tuberculous.

Tombstone is in Arizona and the big gun fight was called the gun fight at the ok coral

Doc said "I will be damned" was because he expected to die with his boots on.

Tombstone is a small town in southeast Arizona, a state in the US between California and Texas in the west, on the border with Mexico. It's a real place, and Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday and the rest were real people. Your discussion at the end about what makes a hero and what makes a vigilante makes me think you might enjoy watching the Marvel Daredevil and Punisher seasons that were originally on Netflix, but now on Disney+. There's 3 seasons of Daredevil and 2 of the Punisher. Start with Daredevil S1. A western you might want to see is "Unforgiven," starring Clint Eastwood.

Wyate wasn't really married to Addie, but the were "together". And her "medicine" was laudanum, which was a mixture of opium and alcohol. Even though it really was used as medicine, a lot of people became addicted and abused it, just like now. And Addie was addicted. And that was one reason why Wyatt didn't want to stay with her.

This movie is based on the real events that happened in Tombstone, Arizona in 1881-82. Pretty much every character in this film was a real person. However not everything shown in this film happened exactly the same way. There’s been some creative license taken in the interests of entertainment and more concise storytelling. But many of the main plot points actually did happen in real life. The history of Tombstone and the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral is endlessly fascinating and has intrigued Western historians for over a century. If you visit the city of Tombstone today (yes, it’s a real place that’s still there), actors reenact the gunfight almost daily in the place that it actually occurred.

Another brilliant choice.

When Doc looks at his feet and says " I`ll be damned ", There`s an old west saying that all cowboys die with their boots on.

Another great choice you will enjoy this it’s cold as hell 😎❤️🥶

Awesome that you’re watching this, you should also check out “ravenous”

Wyatt and Mattie were never "legally" married. Mattie was an opium addict and she died from an opium overdose. It's said that Doc always thought he would die with his boots on, which is why he looked down at his bare feet and said, "I'll be damned, this is funny".

You can still visit Tombstone today. The town has preserved the "Old town" part of the town and kept a couple blocks of the set you just watched. You can buy all sorts of gifts or a beer at Big Nosed Kate's (Doc's woman bought a saloon) or the Crystal palace.

Wyatt’s wife was addicted to opium, Doc had TB, and most of the events were similar to historical accounts. The fight at the OK Corral has become synonymous with an epic fight in a general sense, even though the real fight happened in a lot behind the OK Corral.

(Johnny Ringo) He was quoting the Bible. Revelations. "Behold a pale horse. And the man who sat on him was Death. And Hell followed with him." And later: (Wyatt Earp) You tell 'em I'm coming! And Hell's coming with me, you hear? Hell's coming with me!

When Doc says “I’ll be damned” while dying he is looking at his feet which are barefoot. Doc Holiday always thought that he would die violently and in his boots. So when he is about to die, he sees his feet, no boots and at peace, he says “Well I’ll be damned”.

Many of the lines in the movie were actually said in real life as documented by many eyewitnesses. One example of this is Morgan's last words, that is a direct quote from him as he was dying.

Mattie was an opium addict and her addiction killed her soon after leaving Tombstone. This was a true tale. One of the men who played one of the fighters at the OK corral is the Direct descendant of one of the Earp Brothers.

Doc stared at his bare feet surprised because he always thought he would die with his boots on

At the end as Doc is dying and sees his toes he laughs at the irony because he always believed he'd die violently with his boots on. Many wild west cemeteries were called "Boot Hill" for all of the dead men who died violently with their boots on.

I don't know much about the historical facts of the Earp brothers, Doc Holliday, and the OK corral shootout, but I've seen four other movies that deal with the subject (My Darling Clementine, Gunfight at the OK Corral, Doc, and Wyatt Earp), and it's my understanding that none of them are at all close to what actually happened - though all of them are interesting movies in their own ways. I had a friend when I was in college who grew up maybe a block or two from where the gunfight took place; there were great numbers of tourists, and she was bombarded with the subject all the time, so that by the time I knew her she was so sick of it she didn't want it mentioned in her presence. Wyatt Earp, by the way, went on to become a historical advisor for the makers of Hollywood Westerns during the silent era, and is now buried in the town of Colma, very close to San Francisco, where I live.

Doc said "I'll be damned, this is funny" because he always felt that he was going to die from being shot and would be wearing his boots when he died

This is a true story. Wyatt Herb was a famous law man and is still famous as a historical figure.

When Doc is dying and says "well I'll be damned", he is looking at his bare feet and is surprised that he is dying in bed of an illness (literally "dying with his boots off"), when he had expected to die in a gun fight ("dying with his boots on").

Thanks for a great reaction to this movie! Subscribed. The movie is the closest to the true story of all Wyatt Earp movies. Some scenes and dialog came right from the Tombstone Epitaph. You can get reprints of the Earp-Clanton trial today. I grew up near the town of Tombstone Arizona. The town is still there and looks like the movie. The Earp's and Clanton's still live there and in fact Wyatt Earp III played Billy Claiborne in the movie. The Birdcage theater is there with the bullet holes still in the ceiling. Wyatt Earp was a consultant on the early movie westerns. Famous movie cowboys Tom Mix and William S Hart were pallbearers at Wyatt Earp's funeral. Wyatt Earp's saloon, the Oriental is still there and is now a variety store called Eileen's. Many in Tombstone still wear guns. I interviewed one of the Clanton's, a store owner in Tombstone, and he still had nothing good to say about the Earp's.

Pale Rider would be a good western movie reaction for you guys.

I recommend that you read WYATT EARP, by Stuart Lake. He is the only biographer of whom I am aware was able to interview and observe Earp before Earp died.

True events with a little Hollywood thrown in

"Wyat Earp is my friend". "Hell, I got lots of friends". "I don't".

When Curly Bill Broscis killed Fred White in the street after howling and shooting at the moon, he had just come from a chinese opium den where he had been smoking opium (called "chasing the dragon"). He was high on opium. When Wyatt was killing Cowboys, there is a scene where one puts the barrel of Wyatt's pistol in his mouth. This was also in an opium den and the high Cowboy thought the pistol barrel was an opium pipe.

Great reaction. I just found you and really like your focus, understanding and attention to details, not to mention that you don't talk over all the important dialog moments. What most people don't know is Big Nose Kate was also known as Katie Elder, and the is a GREAT movie with John Wayne, Dean Martin, Earl Holliman James Gregory, Paul Fix, George Kennedy, Dennis Hopper and Strother Martin (amongst many other great actors) called, The Sons of Katie Elder. It is about her 4 sons getting back together after she died, reminiscing about her life and getting into trouble. It is a Western, Drama, Action-Adventure and somewhat comedic movie. In other words, a typical John Wayne picture. You should really react to that one as well.

5:37..yeah Joy..one of the towns Wyatt Earp tamed, Witchita Kansas is a major city today! And according to stuff I;ve read about old west history, this movie is one of the most accurate potrayals off Earp and Holliday out of the dozens of movies about them FYI: When he died in 1929, he was working as a sportswriter covering boxing & baseball as well as an adviser on western movies

Doc Holliday was a dentist, imagine going in for a root canal

12:44 "The earliest drugs..." Opium has been part of Eastern pharmacopeia long before written history

You have to watch the Dollar Trilogy of Sergio Leone „A Fistful of Dollars“ „For a Few Dollars More“ and „The Good, the Bad and the Ugly“

Hi Guys, This is a True Story. Happened in October 1881 in Tombstone, Arizona. The first woman you saw Wyatt Earp with was a girlfriend. She was a drug addict and died from an overdose. He married the actress. They were together for 47 years. Wyatt Earp died an old man in 1929. Doc Holiday died from lung cancer. I just came across you today. I did subscribe. Bless You.

You guys should do more western movies there are some great ones and good ones lol

Doc laughed when he seen his bare feet because he thought he would die with his boots on. He thought he’d be killed on his feet.
