I would say that Val Kilmer's role as Jim Morrison in the film The Doors, is his best role and performance. Even if the film is inaccurate and the depiction of Morrison was incorrect, Val Kilmer really put everything he had into the role.

[@thehorrorfanx]

Yes, Val Kilmer was a standout in all his movies and often had iconic performances. So many to pick from. Some of my favorites The Ghost and the Darkness, Heat, Thunderheart, The Doors, and of course Top Gun. It is so sad how his health has declined at such a relatively young age.

Facts

[@4chanit663]

True fact , at the creek scene Wyatt walked out, didn't flinch, shot Curly Belle in the chest and when the shooting stopped they counted 16 bullet holes in his duster, or trench coat, and he was never hit!!

[@J_EOMReacts]

That’s wild

[@Carandini]

@@J_EOMReacts Unlike lots of tall tales of the Wild West, this one was confirmed by survivors from both sides of the gunfight.

[@jakobroynon-fisher9535]

It's "Curly Bill".

[@pgpro8691]

Another cool fact you guys might already know but I think it’s cool. In 1928 a 79 year old Wyatt Earp was helping out on the set of a western movie and an unknown 21 year old kid that, up till then, just helped with props got to meet Wyatt and hear first hand stories about his life that amazed him .. And that kids name so happened to be John Wayne. Pretty awesome.

[@LeroOfTheKodiak]

Unfortunately the Ringo scene was pretty much made up, and there's even speculation he actually killed himself under the tree.

[@jeffpeterson1331]

"Why, Johnny Ringo. You look like someone walked over your grave." One of my favorite lines.

[@FrenchieQc]

"I was just foolin' about." "I wasn't."

[@josephschultz3301]

Every single line that Doc utters is solid gold. The dude is just the biggest smartass on the planet

[@thetr00per30]

the scene where Ringo and Doc speak latin is amazing. The translation is cold AF. Doc says "In wine there is truth" ringo replies "Do what you do best" implying he is a drunkard. Doc replies " That is not what I am best at". Ringo gently stroking the handle of his pistol says "Fools must learn by experience". Doc gets serious and ends the exchange with "It's your funeral".

[@J_EOMReacts]

That’s dope as hell

[@grimmettcleaningservices7003]

I've always wondered what that conversation was about. Thank you for letting us know, and I agree with the first comment that's dope as hell!

[@40thCapeRifles]

"Doc Holliday wants to die, don't he?" You nailed his character. He's dying. He knows he's on borrowed time. He'd much rather die on his feet than on his back. At least that helps him to feel like he's in control.

[@J_EOMReacts]

Doc was that dude and a hell of a friend

[@normie2716]

Yep. Which is why he looks at his feet as he dies. Says it's funny because he didn't die with his boots on.

[@rencloudkicker]

Also, being called a "daisy" wasn't an insult back then. It referred to someone being strong an resilient like a weed, like a daisy weed. Which is why Doc first says "you're a daisy if you do" when someone says they can take him down, as if surviving a gunfight with doc makes them resilient in life. Then at the end, he tells Ringo he is "no daisy at all" because he didn't have what it takes to survive.

[@yellowjacket588]

“I’m your huckleberry!” Is a way of saying: I’m the man for the job.

[@TimedRevolver]

[@alanhigh8125]

In real life, Wyatt's clothes were nicked and shot through by bullets. But in his entire career, he was never so much as grazed by a bullet. Google him. Even a few months before his death, he still had "the stare". And Kurt Russell was perfectly cast. Old photos of Wyatt Earp in his prime are eerily similar to Russell.

[@AtticusFink]

fun fact: Wyatt Earp, despite being numerous shootouts in his career as a lawman, was never shot once. Not winged, not miffed, nothing. And he didn't like shooting much either, he'd just pistol whip the shit out of people with those long 10 inch barrels on his Peacemakers

[@Extortionism]

I thought they were 9" barrels and not 10", but YEP! That was Wyatt's preferred method for dealing with people. Argue with him and SMACK, upside your head with a steel barrel, then wake up in a jail cell...

Fun fact all the mustaches are real, it was a thing the director asked of all the actors. The line by the river when Doc is asked why he is doing this, because Wyatt is his friend.

[@FrenchieQc]

"Hucklebearer" is a made-up term by some website in the early 2000, there is zero historical references that the word has ever been used in the past. Anything you will find on the internet about this will inevitably lead back to that same website. It's Huckleberry, Kilmer confirmed he says huckleberry twice in the movie, the script says huckleberry, and his memoirs are titled huckleberry. It SOUNDS like hucklebearer because of his slurred speech he carries the whole movie.

[@Dobi714]

i never said anything about Huckleberry, so no clue why you're telling me about it. @@FrenchieQc

[@FrenchieQc]

​@Dobi714 yeah my bad I just clicked on the wrong name it seems

[@J_EOMReacts]

He truly was

[@scatreed]

Everybody loves Doc. One of the best characters ever.

[@AdventuringwiththeS.G.O.C.C]

The phrase "I'm you're huckleberry" is a play on "I am your huckle bearer" which means the coffin handles back then were known as huckles. So a Huckle bearer was a person who would be carrying your coffin.

[@johnmathewson6630]

Hey, I’ve heard that before. But I don’t think it’s true. I’m your huckleberry was actually a saying that meant I’m that man. Or I’ll be that man. Also, Val Kilmer titled his autobiography Huckleberry I’m pretty sure.

[@rw4487]

@@johnmathewson6630 I read the part that the huckleberry were the handles on the coffin and that it means I'm the man that'll get the job done which is cooler for Hollywood but the huckleberry of your coffin to me is more threatening and scarier but I see your point

[@rencloudkicker]

If you play it back and listen, he does say huckle bearer, it's just that his accent is slurring it a little so your mind will automatically link it to the more common thing you've heard before, Huckleberry like huckleberry hound or huckleberry fin. Your mind isn't thinking huckle bearer.

[@audiogarden21]

Kilmer went on record to say that it is 'not' "huckle bearer" but that he said "huckleberry". Huckleberry is simply slang for "I'm the man for the job", nothing more. He even released a memoir titled "I'm your huckleberry".

[@aprilgosa5779]

No it was actually Huckleberry Kilmer confirmed it It means I am the one basically

[@tld522]

The scene where Wyatt walked into the water saying no no no. According to history that really happened. The guy who got away wrote it in his life story. They thought he was invincible!!

[@J_EOMReacts]

I would think it too lol

[@janabraam7963]

I just happened upon your channel. This is one of my favorite movies. Doc had tuberculosis & died when he was 36. The reason he looked at his bare feet at the end & thought it was funny is because, back then, there was a saying "they died with their boots on" meaning they died in a gunfight, which is how Doc thought he would die. I loved your reaction.

[@EOMReacts]

Much appreciated and hopefully we see you around the channel!

[@hisdudeness8328]

I know you didn’t show it, but in case you were wondering, the bit where Doc and Ringo exchange words in Latin translates out to roughly mean this. Doc: “Leave me to my drinking.” Ringo: “Do what you do best.” Doc: “Drinking is not what I do best.” Ringo: “Young fools have to learn the hard way.” Doc: “It’s your funeral.” Another thing, which was so beautifully shot, was the scene right after where Ringo does his fancy gun tricks, then Doc follows up with his drinking cup. If you notice, all the cowboys are laughing their asses off at how silly Doc is being, except Ringo. He’s the only one that fully realizes what is happening, that Doc, after only seeing Ringo’s gun tricks once, is copying them move for move, while piss drunk. It was in that moment that Ringo really became afraid of Doc Holiday, because he knew how much better the Doc was than him at gunslinging.

[@RomanCoronado]

This has to be, hands down, the best reaction I've seen to this movie. Tombstone is in my top 5 favorite movies. Even though I own this movie, both on VHS and DVD, any time this movie is aired on TV, which is quite often, I stop, put down the remote and watch it.

[@J_EOMReacts]

Lol I’m be doing that from now on bc this movie is amazing. And thank you it means a lot to me to hear that. Glad you enjoyed

[@janabraam7963]

I own this movie and watch it every time it comes on tv too. It's that good.

[@irreliventable]

The west didn't exactly have accurate historians so we don't know half the stuff these guys got up to. One of the strangest stories about Earp was him charging the cowboys across the stream (the NO scene). Part of what's strange about it is that the story comes from the cowboys themselves and not from anyone on Wyatt's side. When the enemy is the one padding the legend that makes me think it was at least somewhat true however exaggerated it might be. Either that or they were all hopped up on opium and whiskey and were shooting at their hallucinations the whole time.

[@J_EOMReacts]

Lol either way that a bad scene and event that happened

[@oduinn7948]

I may be misremembering but didn't his coat have shots through it allegedly, leading to even more confusion and superstition to the moment.

[@oduinn7948]

@Necramonium Well yeah since it's written by the victors and later conflated by the "fans".

[@jayeisenhardt1337]

Crazier things have happened. I used to be into reading about WWII because of the equipment made back then but got into reading the stories of people. That RNGesus just pops up. Some people are bulletproof no matter what crazy they try, others just standing in the wrong spot miles from trouble on a mountain side and some explosion from the valley sends a toothpick through their helmet. Nothing else reached as far and everyone else marching was safely outta range but dude died to some random ass shit like that. It goes both ways, and bad luck might even be great luck if you always manage to somehow survive the trouble life brings.

[@lolly1405]

If Val Kilmer wasn’t in this movie it wouldn’t be good. He made this movie. There are so many iconic lines he delivered perfectly in this movie. I loved it

[@gaetagirl]

yes his character made the movie but Kurt made sure the movie was made. lookup the making of the film. kurt carried it on his back

[@amandaasbury3688]

Definitely one of my favorite movies, it's just perfect. And the reason why Doc laughed and said "Ain't that funny?" when looking at his feet, right before he died, he never thought he'd die with his boots off, in bed. He figured he'd die in gunfire.

[@J_EOMReacts]

That honestly makes a lot of sense

[@amandaasbury3688]

@@J_EOMReacts it also explains why his feet were uncovered, which made no sense as a dying patient! Make that man comfortable and cover his damn feet! But it was more for cinematic purposes.

[@drew3865]

Die with your boots on is an old saying meaning you'd die fighting or fully occupied. Doc certainly thought he'd die with his on. He'd courted his own death for years.

[@shadowfrost__]

Loved your reaction to this, favorite part is Doc's last scene where you are talking about his feet being out of the blanket and that he looks cold. That's because he is cold, to make his body tremble and shake, and also so he could feel the pain that Doc would have felt saying goodbye to his friend, Val Kilmer made the art department fill the bed he was in with ice.

[@J_EOMReacts]

That’s some dedication to the role. Like how he looked at his feet before he died too

[@jayeisenhardt1337]

Thought he would die with his boots on, always taking every fight and still found nobody to best him and send him on his way.

[@BADDEC101]

"I'm your Huckleberry." is a layered metaphor that most people don't understand. 1.) It relates to the classic duo of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, two kids who always obliged each others bad habits. 2.) It also relates to the name of the slipknot used for a hangman's noose, specifically, a knot that has 13 loops. Without that knot, nooses just had simple knots, and people strangled to death under their own weight. With the knot, their necks break, it's supposed to make it less horrible in some way. So, when Doc says it to Ringo, he's saying two things: "I'll oblige your bad habits and it will be your death." all in one phrase, "I'm your Huckleberry."

Tales were told that he had murdered men in different parts of the country; that he had robbed and committed all manner of crimes, and yet when persons were asked how they knew it, they could only admit that it was hearsay, and that nothing of the kind could really be traced up to Doc's account".

[@jrpkh]

I'm sure this has already been said but in case it hasn't and you didn't catch it, Doc looks at his feet before he dies and says "This is funny". That's the last thing he says before he dies. They say its because he always thought he'd die in a gunfight with his boots on. The fact that he looks at his feet with no boots on right before he dies ... he went out with his own bang.

From the very first time I saw this, it instantly became my favorite movie of all time. That was almost 30 years ago now. Still #1. The whole scene where Doc says Wyatt is my friend is the very point of the movie. And one of the best lines in cinema.

[@Biorythym]

Slight misquote it's actualy not "I"m your Huckleberry" it's "I'm your Huckle bearer"....the handles on the side of a coffin are called "huckles" so by being your "huckleberry/Huckle bearer"...he's saying he's your pallbearer once he kills you

[@KyleCowden]

Among other things that were accurate in the movie, the Johnny Tyler incident and the Ed Bailey incident were actual events. Wyatt Earp often went disarmed but was so fast he often defeated armed opponents. Added in Edit: Fred White was a relatively young man (younger than Harry Carey Jr. by a long shot) and he lingered for about three days. He testified that Curly Bill's shooting of him was an accident. That's what got him off, not the lack of eye witnesses.

[@yanceylott9843]

"Ill be your huckle berry" came from a term a ill be your huckle bearer (pall Bear) carry your casket to the grave

[@bruceborneman]

By far the best western movie ever!!!

[@cliffwheeler7357]

You obviously haven't got around to watching the 1953 western Shane. Starring Alan Ladd, Jack Palance, Jean Arthur, Van Heflin, Ben Johnson and Brandon deWilde. A cinematic masterpiece.

29:08 I love how they didn’t have enough water from the rain machines, and the lighting in the background is giving it away. Oops…

[@FireTiger941]

31:03 "I told ya'll, he done turned into a black air force one" LOL

[@J_EOMReacts]

Lol the energy was real

[@ummok6329]

Docs final words were a reference to him saying he would die with his boots on and in this movie he feels himself dying and looks down to see his boots aren't on.

[@bellavita1323]

Just subscribed to your channel after stumbling upon your reaction to Tombstone and I absolutely love your taste in movies!! I'm an 80s kid and you have alot of the greatest movies!! Goodfellas is definitely a favorite of mine and my sons as well, we come from a huge Sicilian family and although we're not affiliated with the mob,lol we love it regardless and Tombstone is such a fantastic movie!! Your mother has excellent taste in movies also!! God bless you and your family and wish you all the success possible with your channel as well as good health and all life has to offer 💜

[@EOMReacts]

Welcome to the family!

[@donaldgilbert6739]

The guy Doc stabbed at the beginning of the movie, was Frank Stallone, Sly's brother!

[@stanmann356]

They had to show Doc's bare feet sticking out so they could set up his dying joke. I forget his actual words, since they didn't make the edit. But as he lay dying he looked at his bare feet and laughed and said something along the lines of, "Well I never imagined!" He had always said he would die with his boots on, as in a gunfight and not of natural causes. He was expressing amazement that he had lived long enough to die a natural death. Edit: Just looked up the clip, and his words were. "Well I'll be damned. (laughs) This is funny!"

[@J_EOMReacts]

Yeah I figured when he looked at his feet that’s why he laughed. He just looked so cold and somebody told me reason he looked that cold is bc he was laying on ice for that scene so he would shiver

[@U-Gozoo]

It's cause Wyatt and doc had said that the only time they'd take off their boots 👢 (forever) was in death so him at the hospital sets that up. Wyatt didn't stop moving once he got with that one lady.... Doc said my boots will come off when I'm dying

[@lumenpraetorius4592]

Your movie reviews are by far the best. And I love your dogs.

[@Curraghmore]

The guy that Doc Holliday stabbed over the poker game at the start was Sylvester Stallone's brother, Frank Stallone.

[@J_EOMReacts]

Lol I didn’t even know he had a brother

[@SarahClaus78]

One of my favorite westerns. Glad you watched it! Doc and Wyatt were some baaaaad ass dudes!

[@rd456]

Omg…best reaction to this movie ever! Lmao, when you saw Ike running away at the end and it cut to you saying “aww, you f@cking p*ssy” I was cracking up! This was great, loved all your comments throughout. Funny stuff

[@J_EOMReacts]

I greatly appreciate that and I’m glad you enjoyed. Lol I was big mad that kill Ike at the end.

[@rd456]

@@J_EOMReacts you and me both, brother! Ike was a weasel. Hard to believe but most of this story is true. (The shootout @ Tombstone alley, shootout @ OK corral where Wyatt walked out into open gun fire, the train scene when he blasted that guy with a shotgun and Ike ran away) all documented as really happening. And before doc Holliday was a gun slinger he was a dentist, he was actually a really smart guy. A little unhinged, obviously but Val Kilmer is played character perfect. The only thing that not really accurate is that it was never reported that doc actually killed Johnny Ringo. His death was reported as a suicide when they found his body by the river with a single bullet to the head. But who knows, maybe doc did kill him. 🤷🏻‍♂️ but if it makes you feel better Ike Clanton died six years later when he was shot by a lawman for cattle rustling

[@rd456]

If you haven’t watched “Young Guns” or “Young Guns 2” you should check them out. It’s about the story of Billy the Kid

[@ObjectiveEthics]

8:41 omg fam! You said "he got to call him daddy from now on". I am SROTFLMAO 😆 🤣 😂 😹

[@J_EOMReacts]

Lol that’s Daddy Wyatt for the rest of his life

[@ObjectiveEthics]

@@J_EOMReacts Yessir

[@jackpaper7446]

Great review!! Great movie! You should definitely watch Costner’s Wyatt Earp, It covers Wyatts life from a child, up until the destruction of the cowboys... Both are great films, and they really compliment each other..

[@WorkingOnThatSong]

Thanks for the fun watch👍🏼 He is my uncle, couple times removed. (I am a Holliday)

[@J_EOMReacts]

Your uncle is a bad man 💪🏾💪🏾

[@tree6787]

One of the best performances from Val Kilmer honestly from everybody in this movie but Val Kilmer for sure.

[@J_EOMReacts]

Val killed this part. It was a honor to watch

[@shruggknucklesfistbump4381]

a line that will stick with me for the rest of my life....Hey maddy wheres Whyate ...right behind you stillwell

[@susanrenee6092]

“He look like he stank.” BEST QUOTE EVER!!!!

[@J_EOMReacts]

🤣🤣🤣

[@yankeesfan3961]

This was a better Wyatt Earp movie than the Kevin Costner one but in the Kevin Costner one Dennis Quaid as Doc Holliday was so freaking good in it. An A grade to Val Kilmers A+ grade in this one. The bully coward guy who Wyatt Earp slapped around in the beginning of the movie was Billy Bob Thornton. ( at 7:30)

[@jasongabriel565]

When you said I wanna look for a doc holiday Funko pop I right away got all excited because that's one of very few Funko pops that I do have. I got it for my dad even though he passed away 4 years ago I still bought it last year because my dad liked him and his character so much, plus tombstone is one of his favorite movies too. Great reaction though dude. Btw I just subscribed today on you're channel, and I think you're dogs are so cool btw.

[@TRAVELLEROFWORLDS]

"I'm your Huckleberry. That's *just* my game!"

[@jeffstrom164]

The scene with Wyatt screaming no really happened. Not even he knew why he survived walking out like that. Just one of those things that happens in battle.

[@J_EOMReacts]

I bet that was crazy to see first hand

[@88wildcat]

He was always a believer in shooting accurately over shooting fast. Not one of those theories you would want to do to much research into if you asked me but it worked for him. A lot of situations where he didn't get off the first shot but still ended up walking out of.

[@yonnieproby3778]

Check out "Sunset" with Bruce Willis & James Gardner. Gardner plays Wyatt in his later years

[@J_EOMReacts]

I will check it out
