Since posting this I have decided the Doc Holliday character stands out more and should get MVP! Will definitely get a mention in end of the year awards 😆

"Why you doin' this?" "Wyatt Earp is my friend." "Hell, I got lots of friends." "Well...I don't." I love that.

Val Kilmer should definitely have got an Oscar . When he did his death scene, he was laying on a bed of ice to simulate the shivering of his Tuberculosis symptoms.

The moment when Doc looks at his bare feet just before dying and says " I'll be damned....this is funny" is fantastic. Doc lived recklessly because of his illness and always thought he would "Die with his boots on" or go down fighting. It's one of Val Kilmer's greatest performances and one of my favorite movies.

Val Kilmer should have won Best Supporting Actor for his role in this!

Doc Holliday was actually a dentist from Georgia (hence the Southern accent and colloquialisms). He had tuberculosis (which is why he was called a "lunger"), and moved west to a drier climate in hopes it would help his breathing. He drank heavily to ease his discomfort. He died at a sanatorium in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and is buried there.

Interesting note about the scene where Doc spins his cup around like Ringo spun his pistol: Doc was copying Ringo's moves. After seeing them only *one* time. Nobody else noticed. But Ringo did. That was the beginning of his fear of Doc Holliday.

Yes, they're real people and the shootout at the OK Corral in Tombstone AZ really happened, October 26, 1881. Tombstone AZ is an "old West" tourist town today.

"Tombstone" is based on real history. Other great must watch westerns to check out include "The Outlaw Josey Wales", "The Cowboys", "Silverado", "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" to name a few. After you get a good idea what the western genre is about then "Unforgiven" is a must watch.

Greatest line in movie history, delivered pitch-perfectly by Val: "Why Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave." Perfection!

“Sweet soft Hungarian devil,” “dusky hued lady satan,” etc. Doc had some hilarious descriptions.

Josephine Marcus, Wyatt Earp's wife, was Jewish and he is buried at a Jewish cemetery. She took care of him and protected his legend. This led to the book and TV show that followed it. Wyatt hung out around movie sets where the Western actors studied him. This included a young John Wayne. Red River is the best western and is directed by Howard Hawks. Randolph Scott and Joel McCrea made the best westerns. McCrea Colorado Territory is excellent. Randolph Scott movies directed by Bud Botteicher are his best. The best western TV show is Have Gun Will Travel with reruns being shown now on the ME Channel.

Unrelated to this particular movie, I'd like to compliment Jen on her editing skills. A lot of other reactions just string random clips from a movie, cut out critical scenes, cut away just as a quip or punchline is about to be delivered, etc... Jen has a talent for editing a movie and keeping the flow of the story intact, so you get the gist of the movie. Obviously a talent, and difficult to do, judging by how some others fail at it.

This was the first Western film I saw growing up! Such an amazing cast! Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton, Jason Priestley, Dana Delaney, Thomas Haden Church, Michael Biehn, Powers Booth, Jon Tenney, Billy Bob Thornton, and Charlton Heston. Narrated by Robert Mitchum.

Yes it's a true story and a very accurate one too. Specially the scenes with the big shootout in town, and down at the creek when Wyatt starts to saying NO and shoots Curly Bill really happened like that. The biggest mystery is surrounding how Johnny Ringo really died. Some people including Wyatt Earp said that it was indeed Doc Holliday that killed him and others say that it was probably a commited suicide, which wouldn't be surprising either considering Ringo was not only an extremely skilled gunman but also known as a lunatic and a psycopath

If you’ve never seen the film “Willow” from 1988, that was one of Val Kilmer’s earlier roles and one that I’d recommend. It’s one of the great ‘80s fantasy films; directed by Ron Howard and produced by George Lucas .. and a very fun time!! Thanks for this reaction to “Tombstone” .. it’s been awhile since I’d seen it, and I had forgotten how emotional it is. Not to mention, all the great actors HOLY COW 🐮

Doc's last words " This is funny " while looking down at his feet. Funny because popular legend says a cowboy always dies with his boots on, and here is Doc, barefooted.

“She likes one mustache in particular”. 😂😂😂 That was funny AF.

After the director was fired a month into the production of this movie, Kurt Russell took over its creative vision. You were correct on picking Kurt Russell as MVP of this movie because Tombstone would’ve failed without him.

Tom Mix was a prolific actor in early 1900s Hollywood. He was Hollywood's first Western star :) He became close friends with Wyatt Earp and it was reported in the newspapers of the time that he did cry during Wyatt's funeral 😰

You were correct. A bustle is a padded undergarment used to add fullness, or support the drapery, at the back of women's dresses in the mid-to-late 19th century. Bustles are worn under the skirt in the back, just below the waist, to keep the skirt from dragging. Heavy fabric tended to pull the back of a skirt down and flatten it. As a result a woman's petticoated skirt would lose its shape during everyday wear Billy Bob Thornton's first major role. The gambler Kurt threw out. The Wing Man of the Cowboys (Ringo) is from Terminator and Aliens. Michael Biehn. Check out SILVERADO as another western. The Wyatt and Virgin were real. And that blood bath was the classic GUNFIGHT AT THE OK CORRAL. It's such a classic that the original STAR TREK did their own take on it!

Yes, these were all real people, Jen. Yes, that was Michael Biehn, of Terminator and Aliens, playing Johnny Ringo. Please check out these Westerns, 'Unforgiven' with Clint Eastwood, 'True Grit' with John Wayne, 'The Magnificent Seven' with Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, etc, they're some good ones, two comedy Westerns to watch are, 'Blazing Saddles' and 'The Three Amigos'. I hope that this helps. 🙂

It's scary to think the real John "Doc" Holliday died at just 36 and we're still talking about him 135 years later.

My favorite line of dialogue is from Doc when he says, "Why, Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave." As he literally walks over the location Ringo dies.

The cast in this film is stuffed with insanely talented actors. Great reaction. I love your calm take on things and that you're being introduced to Westerns.

This movie as some of the most goosebumps moments for me in cinema. The scene and music when they are walking to the OK corral with the building burning in the background and the Hell's coming with me speech and the riding out of the rising sun and I'm your Huckleberry are just masterful.

"Is this a true story?" - Well, no, and also yes... Wyatt Earp and everyone in this movie were all based on historical people, and the "Showdown at the OK Corral" was real. Tombstone Arizona was, and is, a real town. They got a lot historically right - but they also took a good number of liberties (as most movie adaptations of true stories do). Val Kilmer and Michael Biehn may have both turned in their finest performances of their careers in this movie. Kurt Russel, too, was terrific. If you liked this - check out Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman in Unforgiven. Between Tombstone and Unforgiven, you have two of the finest "late model" Western movies ever.

'Barber..proceed, sir.' 😄 Class act

Out of the 3 Earp brothers and Doc only one of the actors had really done a lot of westerns. That actor was Sam Elliott who played Virgil Earp and we think he was born with that moustache. 🤣 Sam Elliott was in 2 made for tv western movies that I love. The Sacketts (1979) and The Shadow Riders (1982). Both movies were based on books by western writer Louis L'Amour. He actually starred in a few movies based on Louis L'Amour books.

Yes this was very real. If you watch the 4 DVD set, they went to the EXTREME to make sure that every scene was as authentic as it could possibly be. They even went so far as to make sure that the various people involved in the Gunfight at the OK Corral were even standing in the exact spots as in real life. One of the most accurate (as historically possible) western movies ever made.

I've seen some translations of the Latin exchange between Doc and Ringo. If I remember correctly it went something like this: Wyatt: He's drunk. Doc (Latin): There is truth in wine. (Meaning) When I drink, I speak the truth. Ringo: Do what you do best. Doc: I don't think drinking is what I do best. Ringo (touching his gun): Some people have to learn from experience. Doc: It's your funeral. Then it gets broken up.

Glad to finally "meet" another Bill Paxton fan. A GREAT actor. RIP, sir.

There has been a long era when westerns were criticized for providing a romanticized image of the old west. That may be a valid point at times, but it's still a very watchable genre. Should you be interested in a more dark take, I would definitely recommend Unforgiven by and with Clint Eastwood from 1992. It's a real masterpiece as far as I'm concerned.

My all-time favorite western film is called "Once Upon A Time in The West" (1968). It's long, and quite epic. The very first western I loved was called "Silverado" (1985), with Scott Glenn, Kevin Kilne, Danny Glover, and Kevin Costner. Fantastic adventure.

This is my all time favorite Western. Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Bill Paxton, Sam Elliot and Michael Biehn all do a fantastic job (what a cast). Also, if you check out History Buffs channel video for this movie you'll find that its for the most part pretty accurate apart from small minor things like the love story. Also around this time (one year later) another film Wyatt Earp, with Kevin Costner as Wyatt Earp came along. Same story, pretty accurate for the most part, but I like this one better. I mean nothing comes close to the flashing cup scene at the bar, its just legendary.

As for Doc Holliday's woman friend, I think that she kept giving him cigarettes, drinks, and....physical affection, because that is her way of showing him her love. They both know that Doc's on a short clock, but she wants him to die doing the things he enjoys.

The Earps and Holiday were arrested for the shootout at the OK Corral. The thing that got them out of trouble was that they let Ike go. Ike was unarmed and had he been killed then it would've been harder to accept that the Earps and Holiday didn't just go down to get into a fight and kill the Cowboys. Since, they had been feuding and threatening each other for a little while before the fight.

For a good western , I would recommand "Silverado", "Once upon a time in the west" and "The outlaw Josey Wales".

Jen, that was the best editing of a movie reaction that I've seen on KZfaq. Great job 👏

One of the most Badass scenes in movie 🎥 history: Doc showing up in place of his friend Wyatt. Absolute Perfection

A Val Kilmer movie that is worth a reaction is "Thunderheart". It is way overlooked for how amazing it is. Based on a true story as well, and set on an Indian Reservation in the mid 70's. Haven't seen a reaction to it yet, which is sad.

Yes, Jen. Wyatt Earp, his brothers, and Doc Holliday took on the Clanton Gang for real at the Gunfight at the OK Corral. You can take the tour in Tombstone, Arizona to this day. Amazingly despite all the years in law enforcement Wyatt Earp was never even grazed by a bullet. True story!! Thanks for a great review!!

Silverado is a great western with a huge cast.

If you liked this and want to try out another excellent Western that's a little less shiny try "Unforgiven" with Clint Eastwood. He's been in a ton of "spaghetti" westerns (so called because they were filmed, very cheaply, in Italy. The landscape there doubled for the old west). This one though is in his later years. It tells a really compelling story and I think you'll like it.

Laudnum was a liquid pain killer with opium as its prime ingredient. That's why Maddie could never get enough. She was addicted, and it killed her in the end.

There are tons of movies about The Gunfight At The OK Corral, dating back nearly a century. This is easily my favorite and the most historically accurate, though Curly Bill and Ringo were not any part of what went on in Tombstone with the Earps the creative license of adding them isn't too big of a deal.

One of the most accessible western's of all time. Another GREAT western is Unforgiven (1992) with Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman

Oh Jen, if you want another western,I cannot recommend SILVERADO enough!! Young Kevin Costner, Young Jeff Goldbloom, middle aged Danny Glover, fantastic western wideshots of western Americana, awesomely deep story. As for poker and 'cheating',, another fun western-ish film is the comedy MAVERICK, w/ Mel Gibson. Hilarious!!

Great reaction as always. This movie is truthful in actual events mixed with the usual Hollywood drama. If are interested in going down the rabbit hole that is The Western movie may I recommend some of the following movies- Shane(1953), High Noon(1952), The Naked Spur(1953), Rio Bravo(1959), The Big Country(1958), The Dollars Trilogy (Google it), True Grit(1969 & 2010 both are good), The Wild Bunch(1969 excessive violence but still good), Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid(1969), The Shootist(1976) Unforgiven(1992), Dances with Wolves(1999). These are just a few of a great many excellent WEsterns.

Hi Jen. Two westerns by Clint Eastwood to watch are The Outlaw Josey Wales and Pale Rider. One of the most iconic westerns is High Noon with Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly. Any of those movies would make for great reactions.

Great reaction Jen! Looking nice in that shawl. Purple is definitely your colour. :P Val Kilmer gives a top-notch performance as Doc Holiday in this movie. His appearance, mannerisms, dialogue, delivery and action scenes are all perfect. And Kurt Russell does a pretty good job too.

"My hypocrisy goes only so far." I forgot about that one. And then later, "It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds." What an amazing character Val Kilmer brought back to life. Another one is Emilio Esteves as Billy the Kid in Young Guns.

“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.” Wyatt Earp on Doc

Powers Boothe is one of my favourite actors and he is great as Curly Bill in this. If ever there was a man born to act in westerns it was him. If you want to see him at his most intimidating you really need to watch Deadwood, which I think would make a great reaction series for you.

Some western movies I recommend are: _Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,_ _Unforgiven,_ _Wyatt Earp,_ and _Tremors 4: The Legend Begins._

Top notch movie and the actor’s are all the ducks guts. Val was definitely the standout in this one. Your reaction Jen was spot on. Watching your reaction enhances the movie.

Val Kilmer deserves an Oscar for this role for SURE. He absolutely murdered this iconic, legendary role. "I'm you're Huckleberry" will forever be an iconic line for *anyone* who challenges your skill or conviction, and Val delivered this role like literally nobody else could.

"Can you cheat in poker?" It totally depends on the skill of the operator. Best. Leo.

The Worst award definitely should've gone to Ike Clanton. He's one of the most unlikeable characters I've ever seen in film. In almost every Tombstone reaction I've seen, the reactor is disappointed we don't get to see Ike die on camera lol.

Val Kilmer starred in a number of hit movies - he even played Batman - but this is his most legendary role. Another movie in which Val plays an outstanding supporting role is the modern noir detective story, "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang."

The greatest Western of all-time and one of the most quotable movies in cinematic history.

Hey, Jen! There are two movies that came out about the same time with the same subject: 'Tombstone' and 'Wyatt Earp'. This one focuses on the events that happened in Tombstone, Arizona, and after. 'Wyatt Earp' with Kevin Costner as Wyatt and Dennis Quaid as Doc Holliday is more of a film biography of Earp. The events in this film are basically true with quite a bit of embellishment. However, most of the major named characters were real people. - 20:44 - If you heard of "The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral"...this is it! One of the most infamous and legendary stand-offs of the Old West. Also, one of the most brutal and short. It was important because of what happened afterward, and the legends that surrounded the event. I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and my father LOVED the western genre. I grew up knowing about many of the stories and people of the Old West as well as watching almost every western ever made as they played on tv on Saturday and Sunday afternoons in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Movies with John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, Henry Fonda, Gregory Peck, Burt Lancaster and others. Movies ranging from the 1930s to the early 1970s...all westerns. And I am not a big fan of the genre...I was a sci-fi kid. Some westerns I do recommend: - 'Silverado' (1985) - Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn, Kevin Costner, Danny Glover, Jeff Goldblum, Brian Dennehy, directed by Lawrence Kasdan (co-screenwriter of Star Wars Episodes V & VI) - 'Django Unchained' (2012) - Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz (in an Oscar-winning role), Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, directed by Quentin Tarantino - 'Unforgiven' (1992) - Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, Richard Harris, directed by Eastwood (Winner Best Picture & Director Oscars) - 'The Man With No Name Trilogy' ('Fistful of Dollars', 'For A Few Dollars More', and 'The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly' made and released 1964-1966) - Clint Eastwood, directed by Sergio Leone...the quintessential Spaghetti Westerns (westerns made in Italy or Spain) - 'The Magnificent Seven' (1960 version, not the 2016 remake, which was a western version of the Akira Kurosawa classic 'The Seven Samurai'(1954)) - Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Robert Vaughn, James Coburn, Charles Bronson, directed by John Sturges - 'Dances With Wolves' (1990) - Kevin Costner, Mary McDonnell, Graham Greene, directed and produced by Costner (Winner of Best Picture, Best Director & Best Screenplay Oscars) - and my favorite of all time...'Blazzing Saddles' (1974), which is a Mel Brooks send-up of the western genre. Hysterically funny stuff that could not be done today. It plays like 1874 is actually 1974 for laughs. Clevon Little, Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn, Slim Pickins, Harvey Korman, and Mel Brooks. Directed by Brooks. Hope this little (🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣) list helps!

"It's not revenge he's after. It's the reckoning." Such a great line.

The man who shot Liberty Valance is one of the best western movies ever made

Most of the big name "characters" you see in this film, were real people. The shootout at the OK Corral actually took place.

Did you catch the parallel between the beginning of the movie with Johnny Ringo reciting Revelations and how Wyatt told Ike hell is coming with him. That was awesome and when Doc shows up to duel Johnny, coming out of the shadows with smoke coming out of his mouth while saying "I'm your huckleberry " was the best entrance of a character. Even better than Thor in infinity war. Oh little bit of trivia, it is disputed that Doc says "I'm your hucklebearer which is another word for pallbearer. Menaing Doc is going to put Johnny six feet under in a casket.

Fun fact! The cowboy in the brown vest that dies in the shootout at the OK Corral, that is Wyatt Earrp III !!!

I seem to believe that Doc remembered and copied every gun twirling move that Ringo made. Walking out into that stream is verified as a true incident. Doc Holiday was a dentist.

Hey Jen ! Nice review. Another good western for you to watch is - Silverado from 1985. Has Kevin Kline, Kevin Costner, Jeff Goldblum, & a lot of other fine acters in it. High school favorite of mine. Great movie. Cheers .

Yes, Johnny Ringo is the guy from Terminator and The Rock. Those were real people I'm sure there was some poetic license taken but based on real lives and events.

They were “horsing around” during that flirting scene. 😂

Virtually every character in this film was a real life person. The Earp brothers were all real (there were actually more brothers than just the three), Doc Holliday was a real doctor (a dentist, actually), all the women, the villains, the various allies of the Earps, Sheriff John Behan, etc. All actual people who lived and were involved in the events in Tombstone, Arizona (a real town that still exists) in the early 1880s. Although most of the film is based on historical events and people, some creative liberties were taken in telling this story. For example, Virgil and Morgan Earp were not shot on the same night. Virgil was shot first and did lose the use of his arm, but Morgan was shot and killed a few months later, not minutes later. The stories surrounding the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone have been told in a number of ways over the decades since Wyatt died in 1929 and Stuart Lake’s book “Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshal” was published in 1931, and not always in a historically accurate manner. This one is closer to the truth in many respects though. Another film, which came out in theaters about 6 months after this one did, that tells an even more historically accurate and also more thorough story of the Earp family, Holliday, and their friends and enemies in Tombstone is WYATT EARP (1994), starring Kevin Costner as Wyatt and Dennis Quaid as Doc. That’s a very worthy film you should check out down the line, after you’ve seen some other Westerns. As far as other Westerns to see, there’s a ton, of course, but I’d recommend a number of older classic Westerns (some black & white, some color) starring such screen icons as John Wayne, Randolph Scott, Gary Cooper, James Stewart, and Clint Eastwood, as well as newer Westerns featuring Kevin Costner, Christian Bale, Keifer Sutherland, and others. Classic Westerns: STAGECOACH (1939), DESTRY RIDES AGAIN (1939), THE WESTERNER (1940), VIRGINIA CITY (1940), THE SPOILERS (1942), THE OX-BOW INCIDENT (1943), TALK IN THE SADDLE (1944), MY DARLING CLEMENTINE (1946), DUEL IN THE SUN (1946), THE VIRGINIAN (1946), ANGEL AND THE BADMAN (1947), FORT APACHE (1948), 3 GODFATHERS (1948), RED RIVER (1948), THE PALEFACE (1948; a comedy), SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON (1949), WINCHESTER ‘73 (1950), BROKEN ARROW (1950), THE GUNFIGHTER (1950), THE NEVADAN (1950), RIO GRANDE (1950), WESTWARD THE WOMEN (1951), HIGH NOON (1952), BEND OF THE RIVER (1952), THE DUEL AT SILVER CREEK (1952), THE NAKED SPUR (1953), SHANE (1953), HONDO (1953), RIVER OF NO RETURN (1954), THE FAR COUNTRY (1954), VERA CRUZ (1954), GARDEN OF EVIL (1954), THE MAN FROM LARAMIE (1955), A LAWLESS STREET (1955), TEN WANTED MEN (1955), RAGE AT DAWN (1955), SEVEN MEN FROM NOW (1956), THE SEARCHERS (1956), THE BURNING HILLS (1956), PILLARS OF THE SKY (1956), TRIBUTE TO A BAD MAN (1956), OLD YELLER (1957), THE TALL T (1957), THE GUNFIGHT AT THE O.K.

Hi Jen. This was indeed a true story. The shootout they had was the famous Gunfight at the OK Corral. Doc was a dentist, but by this time of his life and with his tuberculosis he made his way as a gambler. If you are interested in other westerns, a few to try would be Silverado, Unforgiven and maybe The Magnificent Seven (The original, not the Denzel Washington remake). Oh and Open Range with Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall is well done too.

One of my favorite westerns is called Free Range... It's one of the most realistic westerns... Packed with stars... Great reaction. Thank you.

YESSSSS!!!! This is one of my favorite movies. Val Kilmer killed it playing doc...

One of my favorite movies. As for Westerns... Clint Eastwood's collection is pretty good. "Fist Full of Dollars", "For a Few Dollars More", "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly", "High Plains Drifter", "Hang'em High". Also other actor's movies like "Once Upon a Time in the West", "True Gritt", "Rio Bravo". John Wayne had tons of good westerns.

Virgil Earp's old lady was my favorite . Alvira " Allie " Earp was born in 1849 , and she passed in 1847 , living to be all of 98 years of age . She saw a lot of history .

People have mentioned the OK corral shootout. But another real one was the river scene. Wyatt Earp actually walked out like he did and shot Curly Bill. His jacket was covered in bullet holes but he himself wasn't hit.

Turkey Creek Jack Johnson shot the man who was raising the pistol to shoot him; it's classic self-defense. Shooting in self-defense was and is not a crime for which one could be arrested. It's not a bushwhacking or any other type of murder. If you are interested in seeing another Western, you should watch "Unforgiven." It's one of only three Westerns which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Another Best Picture Western is "Dances With Wolves." You will find both of them bleaker than Tombstone, but they are spellbinding. I'll throw in a pitch for the 2010 remake of True Grit.

Val Kilmers next best performance was in 1997’s The Saint, he stars along Side Elizabeth Shue from the second and third Back to the Future movies. It’s an awesome movie with an amazing soundtrack, one if the best out there.

A few other great westerns that come to mind: Shane (1953), Rio Bravo (1959), The Hanging Tree (1959), The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), The Shootist (1976), Pale Rider (1985), Unforgiven (1992), Open Range (2003), 3:10 To Yuma (2007)

Val was really good in the movie The Doors. Based on the band, and he plays the singer Jim Morrison.

There's another movie, called "Sunset" (1988), that features Wyatt Earp and his friend Tom Mix (played by Bruce WIllis) in later years. I like it a lot, but few people seem to know about it.

My wife and I visit Tombstone regularly and have lots of friends there. There are a lot of historical inaccuracies in this movie. My wife and I are both actors. In my first movie, I acted alongside Jen Blanc-Biehn, who is married to Michael, who played Johnny Ringo. We're friends of the family. They own a shop down in Bisbee. And you are correct, he was in Terminator. I used to be a stand up comedian. I wrote a joke about Doc Holliday. Did you know that he once tried out for the part of Tom Sawyer in a play? He didn't get the part, but he got a good supporting role.

The fact that Val Kommer wasn't nominated for an Oscar is one of the biggest upsets in movie history.

I don't think Doc thinks for a minute "I'm dying anyway".... That's just the way he is. That's why he's such a badass.

I forgot she played in this. She plays in a few western style movies. Off the top of my head I can't only think of True Women with her... Bill Praxton also plays in Texas Rising... great show. Not to leave out West World but that's a western sci-fi that'll mess with you mentally... it's pretty brutal. My favorite movie with Val will always be The Saint... I can't ever stop laughing and the goofiness in serious situations of it.

So if you watch Wyatt Earp(which came out the year after this film)it is a long movie; but an ultimately satisfying epic. Dennis Quaid definitely puts his own unique stamp on the role of Doc Holliday. In Tombstone, Wyatt's love to be was played by Dana Delany(very well known for the China Beach tv series(1988-91, and later in Desperate Housewives). And Doc's fiery lady, Katie(Joanna Pacula in Tombstone and Isabella Rossellini in Wyatt Earp)was also known as Big Nose Kate or Katie Elder; with a very colorful western history in her own right.

Jen: "She likes one mustache...in particular." Me: LOL, classic Jen! 😂🤣👍❤️

A western I highly recommend is _Silverado_ (1985), with Scott Glenn, Danny Glover, John Cleese, Kevin Costner, Jeff Goldblum, and more. *Other Recommendations:* ● _The Fisher King_ (1991) Robin Williams & Jeff Bridges. ● _The Abyss_ (1989) Dir by James Cameron. Ed Harris, Michael Biehn (Reese from Terminator & Hicks from Aliens), Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. ● _The Last of the Mohicans_ (1992) Daniel Day-Lewis & Madeleine Stowe

My mom lives just down the road from the set that was used for half of the film in Mescal. I got to see the smoke from the burning building scene, and the fireworks for the funeral scene from her back porch and over the hill. Real cool.

My top 3 favourite westerns, based on entertainment value is 1) Tombstone, 2) Silverado and 3) The magnificent 7 (2016 version). As for other movies with Val Kilmer i have to mention my favourite movie of all time "Willow" (1988), which is a fantasy/adventure movie directed by Ron Howard, with a score by Howard Shore.

i would argue that this is possibly the single most universally loved movie of all time.

When 'Tombestone' is mentioned, Doc and Ringo. Kurt carries the story. Biehn and Kilmer are the story.

You did a great job editing this, you got all the best lines in, good job

Recognized "Kyle Reese", cool. The Virgil guy is Sam Elliot, another star. And you were sad that Bill Paxton died. He is the only person known to have died by Terminator, Alien, Predator, Sunlight and now by "Cowboy" Rip Bill. And yes all based on the true story of Wyatt Earp, his brothers, Doc Holiday, and the love of his life, Josephine. Glad you enjoyed this classic.

That was a great reaction and everyone must agree with your change of heart on MVP. Kilmer should have won an Oscar four times for this role alone before they gave it to anyone else. Kurt Russell was also fantastic.

its still one of the biggest snubs in academy awards history that Val Kilmer was not nominated for his role as Doc Holliday

Tombstone is my favorite movie. I’ve seen it so many times and read the book many times as well. Val should of gotten a Oscar for his performance because he was brilliant

Henry Hooker was played by one of the greatest actors of all time, Charlton Heston. And yes that was Michael Bien (sp?) from Terminator
