"That's the rumour". Superb film & script. Russell & co were brilliant, but, Kilmer..mesmerizing, one of the greatest individual performances I have ever seen.
Val Kilmer was robbed of an Oscar nomination for his role of Doc Holliday. This is an underrated movie and needs more appreciation. Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Bill Paxton, Sam Elliott, Michael Biehn, Powers Boothe, Stephen Lang, Billy Zane and Charlton Heston, among others. Tombstone is an Oscar-worthy film.
@@MasterAnakinSkyWalker From the girl who thinks it was 'Oscar-worthy'. Simply a laughable assertion, unless one is drawn in to the lowest common denominator aspects.
The amount and level of talent in this scene, and in the movie, is immeasurable! Change one actor, and the movie fails. Change one line, and the scene falls flat. Absolute perfection.
I could see DiCaprio out and Kilmer in. Also, I personally would have chosen Fiennes and Malkovich over Jones. But, Kilmer had zero chance of a win that year, despite playing the role of a lifetime. Actor in a Supporting Role(1994 Awards for 1993 movies) Winner --Tommy Lee Jones - The Fugitive Nominees --Leonardo DiCaprio - What's Eating Gilbert Grape --Ralph Fiennes - Schindler's List --John Malkovich - In the Line of Fire --Pete Postlethwaite - In the Name of the Father
Damn...I swear. "Tombstone" is one of those rare movies where the cast looks like the movie gods brought the planets into line. A true underrated classic. And chock full of quotable quotes. It never ceases to amaze me how many people will know in an instant the movie you're referring to it you throw out a quote.
@@marknorris1381 I went to the Cinema to see Unforgiven. Tombstone is easily the best Western I have seen. Dances with Wolves would be a close second. Unforgiven is way down the list.
Just goes to show you that its not what you know or how well you do your job its who you know or who you blow. Other directors who were chummy buddy buddy with the awards people got the awards and no matter how well Tombstone did they weren't going to get any awards even though this was the most epic movie ever made around this time period because of the Good Ole Boys Club. You aren't in it you are crap
I met Michael Biehn in Tombstone many years ago....he was very nice and approachable....he took a pic with me and signed a leather gun belt I bought in Tombstone
Like a true master, Doc learned all of Ringo’s tells while not revealing any himself and still demonstrating that he can match his skills AND mock him with them. I don’t care if you hate westerns, this scene was masterfully crafted, to say nothing of the superb screenplay and performance of those involved! “There’s something about him. Reminds me of......me!” “Evidently Mr. Ringo is an educated man. Now I REALL hate him!” Don’t mess with the dentist!
He probably learned the Latin in Medical School. Ringo knows he is actually out of his league look at that nervous mustache wipe he does after spinning his guns. I like how Kate just keeps drinking and isn't worried at all.
@Vankruze I had no idea. I understood Doc Holliday to have been a man born into wealth, a bona-fide member of the landed Southern gentry with all the trappings of wealth (including a classical education, hence his knowledge of Latin). I think he was also originally a dentist by trade (hence the moniker "Doc"). I would have expected the real Doc Holliday to speak with the sort of upper-crust accent and affectations of a wealthy, well-bred Southerner, as portrayed by Kilmer.
When they first meet is even more notable. Doc knows that Johnny is supposedly deadly, but he makes a very deliberate point of looking away while saying that. He's telling Johnny that no matter what the stories say about him, Doc is so much better that he doesn't even respect Johnny enough to keep an eye on him. He's so much better that he doesn't have to.
Most people don't notice because it happens so fast, but at 0:30 Curly Bill lays down a bet on the Faro table, Wyatt shakes his head slightly no, then moves Curly Bill's bet to another card. As soon as he does this Bill Paxton starts counting out money, and Wyatt flips the card to reveal Curly Bill won $500. Wyatt was trying to diffuse the building tension, and Curly Bill backing Ike down immediately afterward shows that it worked, albeit briefly.
@ NomnomJawsnomnom. good catch. I thought I knew this movie well. I've watched this movie close to a hundred times and I never noticed that small but important detail. Thanks for the spot and the explanation.
Always saw Billy counting out the money, but never knew what game it was Wyatt was dealing for. Also thought Doc was the dealer in real life, but maybe not
When Ringo watched what Doc did with the cup, he probably was the only one in that room who realised what Doc was really capable of and it scared him...
Michael Behn stated his pistol was a specially balanced 'dazzle' competition pistol. He said it was balanced so perfectly that he got the twirling down pat in no time, but I think he was just being modest as he really picked it up rapidly.
The casting alone in this film was unbelievable. Val definitely deserves his flowers for his role as Doc Holiday, but the chemistry between the actors. It's like their characters really have known each other for years. Powers Booth and Michael Biehn have great on screen chemistry. Michael and Val. Electricity in the air man! Val and Kurt... You can feel their bond! Last charge of Wyatt Earp and his immortals! That shit still gives me goosebumps 30 years later.
Kilmer is the GOAT but Stephan Lang's performance is sneaky underrated he makes the movie and stands out as the most entertaining Cowboy. "Law just don't go round here! Lawdog" gets me every time. Definitely my favorite movie
How Val Kilmer was not nominated is the worst crime in cinema history. If Gene Hackman won the previous year in Unforgiven, then they should have recognized Val’s performance as well.
I believed that Ringo showed off how fast he was and that gave Doc an advantage. Doc had excitement in his eyes because he felt Ringo might be the one to end it all for him in a duel and not with his boots off.
I totally agree with you. This scene portrays how Doc Holiday is even more dangerous & composed than Ringo. I loved Ringo though ! You do know these are actual real characters from the modern era
Literally been watching this movie pretty much every year of my life ever since it came out when I was 12. It’s a family tradition now too with my son and I. I’m 43 now. And I still love it that much!
I still wear out my original DVD that's so old it doesn't have a menu screen, it just plays. Made before the mandatory ads in front and even the FBI warning nonsense. It HAS a menu, but you have to hit the menu button to go to it. Interesting layout.
Here's why this scene is brilliant. Ringo is trying to bait Doc to showing his draw. Doc holds his pistol on the front of his hip, which isn't common. In a duel, knowing how your opponent draws gives you an advantage. Like knowing how a baseball pitcher throws. Doc does the cup trick because it diffuses the situation WITHOUT showing Ringo his draw. Doc is probably better than Ringo anyway, but this gives Doc an advantage over Ringo for when they eventually duel. It's brilliant.
Doc wasn’t diffusing anything. He was insulting Ringo and spitting in his face with absolutely no fear whatsoever. He wanted Ringo to go for it. Doc just doesn’t care, and the excitement of a glorious death is preferable to wasting away. Behold a pale horse.
Yea he said he carried a real pistol used for 'flash' competitions and said it wasn't that difficult as it was perfectly balanced. After getting instructed by a professional he'd endlessly practice whenever he wasn't acting.
@@geedee1264 It just shows how dedicated to acting he is. He wanted it to look authentic on screen without using a double. Cool how he said that right from the first script reading he knew Johnny Ringo was the character he wanted. The entire movie couldn't have possibly been cast better. While Russell is a first rate Wyatt Earp, Kilmer stole the show with his portrayal of Doc Holliday.
I read in a biography that Doc knew 4 languages fluently and knew a great deal of French. During a lot of his gun battles he would recite lines from Shakespeare and the Bible. His mother died very quickly after contracting consumption. Doc went on to live many more years that he was expected to despite smoking and drinking 2 quarts of whisky per day and constantly being in dangerous situations. So many people in the Old West were just plain nuts. For instance, despite how he appears in Tombstone, Johnny Ringo was supposedly borderline psychotic. Many Old West legends were Civil War vets suffering from what we now know as PTSD. I think Doc used his IQ to make so many of these people think he was more nuts than they were.
This is the best of the finest! I remember watching this in new year's eve in a movie theater with only a hand full of spectators. Our entire year was made on that unforgettable night! What a f#@!& MASTERPIECE that was! We all stayed & watched it back to back!
This scene was great because while everyone was cheering Ringo on. Ringo was positive he outclassed Doc Holiday but with the mug Doc quickly made a mockery of it and turned Ringo's very impressive trick into a joke.
This movie was closest by far on capturing the real life personality and mentality of all the people involved with one big exception,Morgan Earp..they make him look scared and cowardly alot in this movie and it is well documented he was a fearless hothead and almost a twin to Doc holiday in personality.
Michael Biehn said he never met Val Kilmer, he was always in Doc Holliday mode. We know Val should of got an oscar for this, but the whole cast were stellar in this film. Quality.
The Latin "battle": Doc: In vino veritas. (In wine there is truth) Along with being a gambler, Doc is a heavy drinker. Just prior, he said he hated Johnny because he reminded him of himself and later because Johnny is an educated man. Doc acknowledges that he is speaking more frankly than he otherwise might to a member of a criminal gang - yet that he means what he said. Ringo: Age quod agis. (Do what you’re doing.) Members of the Jesuit order use this Latin phrase to those undergoing Jesuit formation that they should focus intensely on their work. In English, we might say “Concentrate on the task at hand” or “Do what you’re best at.” Here Johnny makes a high-handed insult that the task at hand was Doc’s drinking. Doc: Credat Judaeus Apella, non ego. (Let the Jew Apella believe it, not I.) This is a quotation of Satires by the ancient poet Horace. In book one, satire five, people were trying to convince travelers that miracles were taking place at their shrines. Rather than a simple “I don’t believe you,” this phrase is utterly dismissive. In English, we might say it as “Go tell someone who will believe it.” Doc is likewise brushing off Johnny with an added threat of his own: “Drinking is not what I do best,” obliquely hinting at his reputation for being a quick draw. Ringo: Iuventus stultorum magister. (Youth is the teacher of fools.) Johnny is the younger of the two, but with this line and by tapping his pistols, he implies that Doc is the inexperienced one unaware of the danger he’s enticing and that Johnny will be the one teaching Doc a lesson. Johnny could have conveyed similar meaning with “Don’t bite off more than you can chew, boy.” Doc: In pace requiescat. (Rest in peace.) This phrase is a common fixture of grave markers with which Doc warns that Johnny should beware the danger at hand and foreshadows the showdown between Doc and Johnny later in the film - “It’s your funeral, bub.” Source: movies.stackexchange.com/questions/97881/what-is-the-meaning-of-the-latin-exchange-between-doc-holliday-and-johnny-ringo
Val Kilmer and Michael Biehn are perfectly cast in this movie. Doc Holliday's suave and calm demeanor creates the perfect nemesis for the unhinged Johnny Ringo.
Kurt Russel was absolutely brilliant in Tombstone . . . and still managed to get upstaged by the wonderous Val Kilmer. Such a shame he stopped caring (or whatever happened) after a while and took lesser roles, but here he was at his peak and a joy to behold.
The gun trick is actually called a. Pistol Dance,, a great job by Michael, Aka Johnny Ringo,,who stated that he practiced that over 100 times before he got it right and still took 10 tries to get it right for this particular scene,❤ I absolutely love this movie video clip ❤, all are just great at their own own script! And all deserve an Oscar award!
I love how everyone thinks Ringo outgunned Doc, only to get one-upped with a shot glass. Best part is, Val Kilmer and Michael Biehn actually did this. They learned how to do it, of course, and then showed off their skills.
Man this movie is AWESOME! I know Val Kilmer gets a lot of credit for his performance as Doc Holliday (and rightly so!), but I can't get over the fact that the guy playing Ike Clanton (Stephen Lang) was Stonewall Jackson in 'Gods and Generals'!
The absolute GREATNESS of this movie can never be overstated. Also, to me it was Val Kilmer's most impressive performance, and I've seen a LOT of his movies.
THIS MOVIE IS JUST UNBELIEVABLY DAMN TERRIFIC!!! THE ACTING IS JUST OUTSTANDING AND VAL KILMER AS DOC HOLIDAY IS JUST A MATCH MADE FOR MOVIE HISTORY!! BEST WESTERN EVER!!!
3:17 this why I always liked doc the best out of all of them he proves it doesn't take a gun to prove your a tough guy and Doc is a fine example of it 😎
This 5 minute scene is right up there with.."my mule dont like people laughin at him..gets the crazy idea your laughin at him" Both classic scenes we'll never forget.
John Ringo was educated,he could read Classical Greek and Latin,and carried such books in his saddlebags. Died in mysterious circumstances though,found by the roadside eventually,killed by nobody knows to this day.

Your right this was his best Performance
Way ahead of his time... People weren't ready

This is where Ringo made his fatal mistake. Everyone else is watching in awe. Doc's eyes are studying his every move, every tell.
@Max Power Yep. Everyone else is laughing, most not getting what Doc's really doing. Not Ringo. You can see it in his eyes.

Rather than a simple “I don’t believe you,” this phrase is utterly dismissive. In English, we might say it as “Go tell someone who will believe it.” Doc is likewise brushing off Johnny with an added threat of his own: “Drinking is not what I do best,” obliquely hinting at his reputation for being a quick draw.
Ringo: Iuventus stultorum magister. (Youth is the teacher of fools.)
Johnny is the younger of the two, but with this line and by tapping his pistols, he implies that Doc is the inexperienced one unaware of the danger he’s enticing and that Johnny will be the one teaching Doc a lesson. Johnny could have conveyed similar meaning with “Don’t bite off more than you can chew, boy.”
Doc: In pace requiescat. (Rest in peace.)
This phrase is a common fixture of grave markers with which Doc warns that Johnny should beware the danger at hand and foreshadows the showdown between Doc and Johnny later in the film - “It’s your funeral, bub.”

I watch this movie at least once a year with my pops. One of my favorite western movies of all time. And it’s all due to Val Kilmer performance.
"We don't want any trouble in here. Not in any language." -- Soprano's before The Sopranos.
Say when...
Im a Ringo fan...love how he does the mustache swipes after the skillz presentation it was so smooth 😂
He yells "Drinks are on me!" and throws $500 dollars in the air. I bet $500 back then was a two years salary!!!
Val Kilmer and Michael Biehn are perfectly cast in this movie. Doc Holliday's suave and calm demeanor creates the perfect nemesis for the unhinged Johnny Ringo.
Kurt Russel was absolutely brilliant in Tombstone . . . and still managed to get upstaged by the wonderous Val Kilmer.
Such a shame he stopped caring (or whatever happened) after a while and took lesser roles, but here he was at his peak and a joy to behold.
James Arte this movie made such an impression on Kurt he named his son after his character.
Still made a hell of a performance even after taking over directorial duties!
Wasn't quite finished yet. He made Heat a couple of years later.
Wyatt Russel is mid thirties.
IIRC after this he was in Heat, then not sure why his career winded down
The gun trick is actually called a. Pistol Dance,, a great job by Michael, Aka Johnny Ringo,,who stated that he practiced that over 100 times before he got it right and still took 10 tries to get it right for this particular scene,❤ I absolutely love this movie video clip ❤, all are just great at their own own script! And all deserve an Oscar award!
I love how everyone thinks Ringo outgunned Doc, only to get one-upped with a shot glass. Best part is, Val Kilmer and Michael Biehn actually did this. They learned how to do it, of course, and then showed off their skills.
The tin cup was apparently Vals idea.
Smart move Doc, now you know how fast Ringo's draw is. Poker face in more than just cards.
What do you say darling should I hate him😂😂😂 fantastic quote
I'm sure I hate him
@@kiddetroit8403 Now I REALLY HATE HIM 💀
0:57 Me in RDR2, underfed, underweight, and underslept
:D
Didn’t holiday have TB too?
@@keirantalent yup. That was his maker I reckon.
Bringing up video games? Had to google it. Wow. I've lost touch ... I'm no longer relevant.
Joe AllFrontsQuiet It’s a great game. Spoilers:
Your main character, Arthur, gets tuberculosis. Could’ve been inspired by Doc Holliday 🤷🏽♂️
Man this movie is AWESOME! I know Val Kilmer gets a lot of credit for his performance as Doc Holliday (and rightly so!), but I can't get over the fact that the guy playing Ike Clanton (Stephen Lang) was Stonewall Jackson in 'Gods and Generals'!
He was dang good in 'Gods and Generals' too I must say!
The absolute GREATNESS of this movie can never be overstated.
Also, to me it was Val Kilmer's most impressive performance, and I've seen a LOT of his movies.
🙏🙏 I pray every day val gets better, such a great actor and nice guy, good luck mate 🙏🙏
Never show an opponent your skills without an imminent threat
THIS MOVIE IS JUST UNBELIEVABLY DAMN TERRIFIC!!! THE ACTING IS JUST OUTSTANDING AND VAL KILMER AS DOC HOLIDAY IS JUST A MATCH MADE FOR MOVIE HISTORY!! BEST WESTERN EVER!!!
Next year is the 30th anniversary of it's release. Can you believe that?! Stands up too, and for the next 30 years I'm sure!
"That's the rumor" 😎
There's just no way I can replicate that real cool whistle at the end of the gun-play action. That part is always funny to hear
Ringo: you retired?
Doc: not me, I'm in my prime.
GOLD!!!!!!
Yeah, he looked it.
Kilmer’s Oscar snub is a clear example of a talented guy’s “difficult” professional reputation early on coming back to haunt him...
My man Ike “law don’t go around here savy”!!!!😂😂😂 “I don’t take no lip from no bartender”....
See? Give somebody a rap on the beard round here, get some respect!
3:17 this why I always liked doc the best out of all of them he proves it doesn't take a gun to prove your a tough guy and Doc is a fine example of it 😎
What a privilege it would have been to be a part of this set.
Whoever played Big nose Kate was beautiful.
So you just throw money in the air to pay for drinks? $500 in would be $12000!!!
The air has a way of "purifying" the blood stains on that money, savvy lawdog?
@@Agent1Wshut up, Ike 😠
He lived for the moment, not a pension.
This was one of the most gangster scenes I've ever saw in a movie
Best scene in the movie hands down!
Gotta love how Doc twirls his cup around, mocking Ringo for showing off.
At minute 0:34 the guy in the back counts out $500 before the card is flipped over!!😂🤣😂
Best western movie of all time
This 5 minute scene is right up there with.."my mule dont like people laughin at him..gets the crazy idea your laughin at him"
Both classic scenes we'll never forget.
One of the best western ever made
I love Doc's response to Ringo's razzel dazzle; it didnt phase him not 1 bit
Damn that's a lot of Frank Zappas in the place
“Listen NOW, Mr. Kansas Lawdog, Law don’t GO around here....SAVVY?!?!”
-Seattle 2020
One of the best westerns!👏👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
John Ringo was educated,he could read Classical Greek and Latin,and carried such books in his saddlebags. Died in mysterious circumstances though,found by the roadside eventually,killed by nobody knows to this day.
Greatest movie of all time. Everyone should have won an Oscar. Especially Kilmer and Russell.
I like the line when this girl first sees Wyatt from a distance, describes him, and then says: "I want one".
To which her companion says "happy hunting"
