All My Movies: Tombstone
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 тра 2024
- One of the best modern Westerns (and maybe my favorite of all time), Tombstone boasted a phenomenal cast and a career-best performance from Val Kilmer. So why wasn't it a critical hit? I break down the story behind the story behind the OK Corral!

The worst thing to do when playing a bad guy is to play a bad guy - Michael Biehn
Sums up so much of his methodology as an actor
Val Kilmer definitely deserved a lot of credit for his performance in this movie as Doc Holliday. But Michael Biehn as Johnny Ringo gave a great performance also that not enough people talk about.
Michael Biehn isn't talked about enough in general!
@@heatheraggus7501 a top tier actor that never broke out as a celebrity
@heatheraggus7501 It sucks because character actors rarely get noticed. You have a few exceptions like Daniel Day Lewis, Willem Dafoe, and Gary Oldman, but for the most part, it hardly ever happens.
You could do a episode for just the mustaches in this movie.
Fun fact: Every mustache in Tombstone was real except one, Jon Tenney who refused due to another project he was filming at the time.
One of the greatest unsung elements of this movie is the Foley work and the sound design. Holy crap. Not just the action of the revolvers but every little sound from poker chips to water splashes. It really gives the movie a visceral quality.
Val Kilmer did not get nominated for an Oscar. Crazy.
Why would he need a nomination? A lion does not seek the approval of hyenas.
Dan, I'm never going to forgive you for making me aware of the rain, or lack thereof!
I know! If you'd never noticed it before, you probably would never know! Now you'll never not see it! Damn you Dan, damn you all to hell! :D
Yep my friend did the same thing to me. Now I can never unsee it.
That's probably one of the scenes that got cut down.
I noticed it literally immediately when watching it for the first time today. It looks so weird.😂
Everyone was great in this movie… But Val Kilmer was a GOD in this movie !
As an AZ native, I can in fact confirm it does sometimes rain on one side of the street and can be clear on the other
I went to school with a "Tom Stone".
It took all of my strength not to call him "Tombstone" or make a silly pun.
I love Tombstone, especially like the Johnny Ringo and Doc Holliday face off in Latin, and love Doc’s cup spinning. Michael Biehn was fantastic as Johnny Ringo, doesn’t get enough credit for his contribution.
On the road to 100k! Can't wait to see that closet VHS, Dan. Oh yes, we remember......
I always read Doc Holiday’s last words as him seeing lights as opposed to Morgan who did not.
Well this convinced me to give Tombstone a re-watch
How Dan talked about his mom passing down her movie taste to him. It reminded me how I got into the film by my own mom the same way. She bought the VHS version, raved about Val Kilmer's performance and it being her favorite Western. When I was old enough I watched it. Bought the DVD then upgraded to Blu-Ray once it was available.
Thanks for sharing, Dan! Tombstone is one of the few movies I am just never ever tired of -- such a rich cast and I'm so glad it started getting the love it's deserved.
I agree. Every couple of years I find myself turning it on.
Wow, just listening to Val Kilmer and Michael Biehn talk about acting is amazing.
I love this movie. Val Kilmer is doing his own biopic movie which is coming out soon. I can’t wait to see it.
This is my dad's favorite movie
I think this is everybody's dad's favorite movie.
@@DanMurrellMovies I am such a dad and will back this up. :D
At the time the film was released, I was an unruly young man in a (then) largely undeveloped part of Texas. This film was a HUGE deal to desert-dwellers, like us. I've been to actual Tombstone a number of times.
This and Enemy at the Gates
Ok it's a little bit of a reach but......growing up I've actually been in rainstorms where it was pouring on one side of the street and bone dry on the other. Also I've always felt that the rain pouring down on a bloodied Wyatt was the character's baptism and absolution and therefore fitting to be localized around him.
The film is pure magic, completely rewatchable and one of my favourite of all time
I want 2023 to see a 4K scan of this film with the theatrical film and a new reassembled longer cut. I want the director's commentary and scattered various interviews that chronicle the making of this troubled, brilliant movie. In short, I want at last the definitive Tombstone. It only took 30 years.
I think Dan is the only UA-camr I know who timestamps even his ad's. Thats a pretty cool thing to do
You talking about your mom introducing you to Tombstone really touched me. My mom did the exact same thing with me and has introduced me to so many of her favorite films which also end up being my favorites. Film folklore like this is something that will allow the truly great films like Tombstone to live on forever.
As a coin collector I always appreciated the period accurate Morgan Silver Dollars on the poker tables. A tribute to the authenticity of the film!
Val Kilmer is the most memorable performance in the movie. He deserved the Oscar.
One of the best movies of the era.
I saw this movie in the theatres back when released and love it to this day!!! Great review!
Saw Tombstone on opening day (Christmas 93). It was epic
Dan, I have a copy of the director’s cut version with his commentary, enhanced for 16x9 tv’s if you want it. I can mail it to you.
I saw this movie because Val Kilmer is in it. I loved it so much even though I don't usually like westerns. I really recommend watching movies because of some reason besides the plot/genre of the movie just so you find something new. Last year i watched all the academy award nominees and I found some very, very good movies that I would otherwise had never seen. I also like to watch movies by actor (like this one) because if the movie is bad (cough cough I Saw the Light from 2015) at least you have someone pretty/interesting (Tom Hiddleston) to watch and to make it less bad.
Really, just pick your favourite actor/actress, randomly pick a title and watch it, it will 9 out of 10 times be worth it.
I love how much I learn in these episodes. Thanks for all the hard work, Dan!
Thank you for being the Lenard Molton of our time. Introducing and discussing the history of modern classics to people who wouldn’t otherwise know without doing a bunch of crazy research ourselves.
Dan I gotta say, I got through about an hr of Tombstone. To the part where Kurt tells his wife they should get a room when she's drinking her medicine, after he spent some time with the other woman and their horses. And he's just like "nevermind forget about it" and the whole love story took me out so I just shut it off. It's one of my friends favorite films so I asked to borrow it. Seeing you say that it's a weakness of the film makes me feel better and validates my feelings about it. But you also makes me feel like I should give Tombstone another try.
I absolutely LOVEEEE this movie. We used to watch this VHS (yes) until it wore out!
I went to Tombstone, AZ this past December, and it is really cool seeing the movie use a lot of the real outdoor scenery. It is a fun place to visit, and the movie is quite good as well.
Some parts (like the early train scene) were filmed at Old Tucson Studios a historic film studio outside Tucson, which has sadly closed due to covid. A lot of the actors and stunt guys in tombstone have also worked there on small movies or even working for the day park.
I have watched this movie at least 10 times..& I’m never disappointed..it’s all about the brothers & Doc Holiday. The Costner movie was a shadow of this movie. Russel & Kilmer did the damn thing!!!
It’s interesting to learn the history of these movies and how close some of them got to either not being made or having different actors and directors take over. Thank you for the info and explaining it all in a way that’s really enjoyable to watch.
The directors cut is a lot of fun
Once again Mr.Murrell you’ve outdone yourself 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽👌🏽
Love this film, one of the last Great western stories ever told in cinemas. 🎞
How it never garnished any accolades recognition from the academy is such a shame.
Dan, just a note: "Vajna" is pronounced as "Vy-na" (rhymes with "my nah"). :) It's a Hungarian name.
Anyway, I watched this when it came out, and really liked it, despite barely knowing who the characters were (I'm not American). I think it's time to watch it again!
One of the most fun and quotable movies of all time! My friends and I quote it regularly to this day. Great breakdown!
I didn't know the scene used for the end credits was deleted from the approach to the shootout. When I first saw it, I couldn't help but compare it to the end credit music video at the end of "Buckeroo Banzai" (which also featured a character who died during the movie).
#Release the Tombstone directors cut. I've said for years that Val Kilmer Doc Holiday performance was worthy of an Oscar. I'm your huckleberry. So good.
I hope we get an extended version like you’re saying could happen in a 4k release, that would be so cool.
One of my favorite movies of all time.
Tombstone is a great Western, loved it.
Remember back then when there wehre two Wyatt Earp movies about to come out and everybody was looking forward to the Kevin Costner Movie only to find put Tombstone was the better one.
Speaking of amazballs Val Kilmer performances, I would love for you to do an AMM episode on Heat. That bank shootout scene alone can be a whole episode
I rewatched this earlier this week because it's my uncle's favorite movie and it was good birthday, so I watched it in his honor. This has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid because my uncle loved it so much. One generation passing it to another. Val Kilmer's performance is one of my favorite performances of all time. I own the Director's Cut DVD, I have but updated to bluray yet. Great breakdown, Dan.
Can't think of a more rewatch able movie then tombstone
The only thing that Came to Mind was The Princess Bride.
@@Chrisrd75 Back to the Future also.
@@Chrisrd75 of yeah, that one is super rewatch able too
Jaws!
This was a great episode this week!!!
So happy you put this one out there. I’ve always loved this film.
Great episode!
Thanks for the vid. Great show.
Fantastic western and review!
I’m absolutely watching this again tomorrow. It’s been on my watch list for a while and this has given me the kick up the bum I needed. Thanks Dan!
i love, LOVE this movie so much. this was a great deep dive. thank you so much.
Also a Scene were doc holds Wyatt can be seen on the Back of the Dvd Cover
Tombstone is my favorite movie period, western or otherwise and I don't really care that much for westerns.
Thank you for this show absolutely love it..
Most movies I have seen. And when your talking about one I haven’t I cannot wait to watch it so I can listen to the show..
Tombstone has being on my to watch list for so long, after I saw the notification for your show going home and watching it right away
One of the most quotable movie in history.
Fantastic job on this. I didn’t know about 80% of what you covered. Very informative!
One of my fav movies for sure
This video SLAPS!
Reminds me of my youth and how FANTASTIC this movie is. Glad to see Dan putting some respecc on it.
You probably already know this, Dan, but just in case, there's a lesser-known movie called 3000 Miles to Graceland which stars both Wyatt Earps -- Kurt Russell and Kevin Costner -- as two Elvis impersonators. It's not especially good or anything, but I always think about it as a burying of the hatchet on what is probably an only-in-my-mind feud between the two actors. It's especially delightful because Kurt Russell also played Elvis in a biopic when he was younger AND he played the voice of Elvis in Forrest Gump! Anyway, just some weird trivia that I thought might interest you.
Dan please do an "All My Movies" of Die Hard
I did one! You can find it on the SEN UA-cam channel: ua-cam.com/video/NFSewHBnf7Q/v-deo.html
@@DanMurrellMovies Not sure if it's one of "your" movies, but have you/plan one for Full Metal Jacket? So much wild stuff going on there in the production
I literally rewatched this last night! Second favorite western (only second to the original magnificent seven). I Love hearing the story of the making of the movies
Love this film! Love the romance between Wyatt and Josephine. Wyatt was not a saint. Tombstone is a great western/film.
I'm not a big Tombstone fan but this was a get review it gives me so much understanding of this film
This movie slaps so hard
Excellent video
Yeah, one of my favorite moves!!!
Great review as always Dan Murrell! Now please review No Sudden Move, Soderbergh’s latest film!
This is my favorite movie of all time.
The only time I ever bought a VHS when it was first released. Studio VHS tapes were EXPENSIVE(!!!) back then! $99.00!! I loved the movie so much though, and I so wanted to turn my girlfriend and my other friends on to the movie, that I bought it just to show it to them!
I watched this a year ago because of the doughboys podcast and it’s also become my favorite western
Please do an episode about Unforgiven 🙏
I love this movie, and it's been too long since I've seen it. I think I'll remedy that very soon. Thanks Dan!
My favorite western!
Damn. I love this movie, and I had never noticed the rain machine issue before! I'll just do my best to forget about it. :)
Such a great movie!
Best All My Movies so far!
I don't like Westerns, but I still think this movie is a masterpiece.
This is a top ten movie in my book
Hi Dan! Really love All My Movies. I have always thought that the love interest story always got in the way. It was nice to hear someone else say it too. Didn't hate it but just found it unnecessary. Thanks for your channel!
While I admit that it wasn't necessary, I will never ever turn down a chance to see Dana Delany.
This is my second favorite western. I don’t have the same complaints as Dan, I think the love story added to the movie. Watched it a million times and never noticed the rain thing. I don’t notice those things in movies I like. My only complaint is the narration at the end; I could not care less that some actor cried at his funeral. I make sure to stop watching or change channel after we hear they stayed together and before the whole actor crying line. Take out the last one or two lines and the movie is perfect, otherwise it’s 99.98 out of 100.
I literally just watched this
There is just one thing that makes me mad, the fact that I can only press the like button once. Great review.
“Contact” by Robert Zemeckis could use a good breakdown.
@Chris Sears it authenticity captured what it would feel like to make contact with an outside intelligence but threw in just enough wonder and spectacle to be entertaining. Classic film.
Even if you just continue this show as an audio only podcast it will be worth it.
If no one knows what the drawl sounds like, no one knows if you're making it up! But Holliday was from Georgia and Hollywood seems to think that Georgian is THE official Southern accent... it's hard to believe they only had ONE tape for Kilmer to practice on. He sounded credible nonetheless.
It's good but George 's best is Escape To Athena!
I’ve never seen this so I’m stopping 20 minutes in, be back soon
What'd you think!
Yeah what did you think?
I appreciate Dan’s commitment to pointing out that in the ‘90s MTV Movie Awards often are a better guidepost to what would stand the test of time than the Oscars…minus Most Desirable Male Billy Baldwin…yikes! But they did pick Pulp Fiction over Forrest Gump for best picture…just saying!
I always wondered why they did that bit after Doc shoots Ringo where Doc beckons Ringo to walk towards him as he dies. Just seemed weird. 🤨
I've always thought it was a weird way of taunting/insulting him - Doc is saying "C'mon, c'mon, shoot me." Kind of a 'you're not so bad' moment. It explains his "you're no daisy at all" comment - it's a call back to "you're a daisy if you do" during the OK Corral fight. A daisy can best Holliday, and Ringo couldn't do it.
A perfect fim
Top westerns for me, Hateful 8, True Grit, Good Bad and Ugly, My Name is Nobody.
would hate to get a schmoedown question, who directed Tombstone.
Stephen Lang who played Ike Clanton was drunk throughout the three month shoot. Now THAT'S method acting.
Best thing about this movie is that there is an actor named Wyatt Earp in a movie ABOUT Wyatt Earp... and he doesn’t even play Wyatt Earp
'I'm your Huckleberry!'
