Tombstone 1993 - The Making Of Tombstone Full HQ

[@neverleftthe80s29]

Val Kilmer should have won an Oscar for this amazing performance. It was a disgrace that he did not.

[@mrtrek64]

Agreed!

[@ArchGBUStanton]

Hey! Say something we ALL don't know! Lol. There's maybe 2 or 3 parts that an actor was not only born for but just literally knocks it out of the atmosphere. Val as Holiday, Heath Ledger as the Joker of course, & Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa in Inglorious Bastards. Sure, there may be a few others but these 3 come to mind. Ok, I HAVE TO ADD: Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister.

[@kevindelargy1306]

I completely agree with you 💯

[@charlesrest1573]

Absolutely by far unforgettable performance

[@aaronsterlind6334]

Agreed, of all the movies that and all the people that win those awards it's never the ones I have on the shelf and most certainly isn't the ones I watch over and over with the exception of the excellent work of Clint Eastwood. Top Westerns of all times: Outlaw Josey Wales, Pale Rider, Tombstone, The Unforgiven, Dances With Wolves and I do like the Costner version of Wyatt Earp. To be fair about it, I like long versions to tell the whole story and I've read as many books about the life of Wyatt Earp as I could find. I'm 5'6" 140lbs, I was a bouncer and I used what I call Wyatt Earp'ism and it worked extremely well. Given the physical frailty and mental dexterity of Doc Holiday, of course he was one of my all time favourites too. There are other great westerns, I thoroughly enjoyed the new Magnificent Seven, for example, but I think those I listed above aren't just some of the Greatest Westerns, they are some of the Greatest Movies ever made, at least, by my account and being 51 years old, I was only 21 when Tombstone was made. Val Kilmer will always be Doc Holiday to me and thus, what a job he did as a great actor.

[@LauraLegends]

The fact that Val Kilmer wasn’t even NOMINATED for best supporting actor that year is one of the greatest jokes in movie history

[@stimactzedvard7556]

[@stanleynowak9325]

His portrayal of Doc Holiday is pure genius.

[@msimp0108]

Val Kilmer’s portrayal of Doc Holiday is as immortal as Doc Holiday.

[@arthurneddysmith]

It was an amusing portrayal, but to suggest that it was worthy of an Oscar nomination is to suggest that you don't know what acting is.

[@msimp0108]

@@arthurneddysmith I’ll brush off your insult because you are obviously an idiot to have made it. But just to be clear, whether you are a student of Shakespeare, Stanislavsky or Strasberg the ultimate test of good acting is verisimilitude. Kilmer studied the dialect of Holiday as well as his character thoroughly and delivered as believable of a portrayal as any I’ve ever seen. He deserved recognition for it. As for the Oscars, it is all about politics and money. Many great performances get snubbed every year. Personally I can’t stand to watch it. My wife was a graduate of UCLA film school. Her classmates included Tim Robbins(an Oscar winner whom she dated at the time) and other working actors and producers. We discuss every movie we watch. But in the end it is a subjective matter.

[@rodroller6634]

There’s a reason why we’re still talking about this movie 28 years later. Amazing cast, great script, authentic backdrop, and a crew that actually cared about more than just cashing a paycheck.

[@dougiequick1]

It's remarkable to me how Westerns were pronounced dead,that Hollywood forgot how to do em when by far most of the best westerns were made in the later decades....if you ask me anyway....Not that I can't still be entertained watching spagheti westerns and Clint westerns in general and such but the really old "classics" mostly have become hard to watch they are so corn dog goody two shoes. But man really entertaining well done westerns have just kept coming better than ever IMHO

[@paulnewkirk7351]

POWERS BOOTH IS GREAT IN DEADWOOD!

[@jtmoore662]

I had just graduated HS a year before this came out. When the trailer aired on TV for this, there was no way in hell I was going to miss this movie at the theater! Ive probably seen it over a hundred times and can almost quote every line from this movie. It is one of the best westerns from my age genre that I love the best.

RIP Powers Booth and Bill Paxton 😔😔😔😔😔

Yeah it's been written that Doc Holliday cried after he killed the man at the okay Corral

My favorite line from any movie. More than, " I'll be back " is Val telling dude, " I'm your Huckleberry " just classic. The delivery was all time great.

[@paulcarter2907]

Or was it Huckle bearer..do you know the story? A Huckle is the name for a handle on a coffin..to me it makes more sense for the line to be Huckle bearer, as in I'll carry your coffin..I mean what is the meaning of Huckleberry?

Powers Boothe was awesome as Curly Bill. I have to say the whole cast was awesome. From Kurt Russell playing the Best Wyatt Earp ever. Val Kilmer "Am Your Huckleberry" Doc Holiday. Sam Elliot as Virgil Earp, Bill Paxton as Morgan Earp. Stephen Lang as Ike Clanton and Michael Biehn portraying a exceptional Johnny Ringo. Love, Love, Love this Movie. One of the Best Cast ever assembled. This Movie is Great because of all the remarkable Talented Actors.

[@wolfthornnholtzklau4913]

Agree wholeheartedly one of the all time greatest ensemble casts ever

[@therealhousewifeofballtown]

Don’t forget Powers Boothe as Curly Bill

[@richardramirez1701]

Don't forget Mr Heston

[@maskandvaccinefreeandproud2110]

He was certainly a huge stand out in the film in my opinion as well. Actually, they’re we’re a lot of prolific performances in this movie but like you, I really liked Powers Booth’s portrayal. He made the character unforgettable. No small feat when you consider all the heavy hitters in the film.

[@rehab5355]

It's hard to remember to give the Director any credit..HaHa

[@Ringey247]

Sam Eliot has the coolest voice & the coolest mustache ever.

[@nerblebun]

Agreed 100% brother. I love Westerns. My video collection has Westerns from the 1920's up until the present and I believe Sam Elliott has got to be one of the best movie cowboys ever.

[@ParappatheRapper]

I always did wish he got more credit for the very understated performances he gave. It was so easy to believe he was a cowboy from his looks, to his voice, to the way he moved, it was basically perfect. I like too how he (playing as Virgil) gives that speech about justice and making money off suffering of the people (whether it was genuine or not) was brilliant because of how little that character did and said up to then. Amazing actor and pretty great acting all around. I really can't say I'm a Bill Paxton fan because he just comes off as too goofy, though this role worked in his favor as a sort of a naive and simple guy. Anyway, I'm rambling. Great movie.

[@PaulZink]

Sam Eliot is perhaps one of the most under-rated actors in Hollywood (along with Bruce Dern).

[@PrometheusGroup777]

Sam Elliott brings an "authenticity" to an already great project.

[@mancavetheater1240]

I was just thinking of sam Elliot performance in my favorite swayze film,ROAD HOUSE! Elliot gave such a scene stealing presence,when he arrives to Missouri,you know that the best in the business has arrived. The chemistry between Elliot and swayze was like mentor and student with love,I simply adored there character interaction!!

[@sbacon92]

Why isn't George P. Cosmatos more famous? This movie is a masterpiece.

Of all the many versions of Tombstone or Wyatt Earp this one is my favorite. I can watch it over and over and not tire of it.

It's getting bad when you know the entire script line for line. Love this movie!!

[@RobertWMahon]

good movie yes but it is not historicly correct.as i have a rare copy of wyatts autography he wrotebecause he knew it would never been historicly correctl unless he wrote it himself..wyatt wrote and had a small amount of his biography printed up as the movie indstry was beggining and he was theiir and tried toget them interrested in his life story and could use his biography as a script.also needed money as he had most of it sunk in his biography.but he couldnt get anybody interested in it.so he sold a few and finally threw the rest away.as i have one of the books of his biography and later i saw the movie wyatt earp and it was excatly as wyatts biography everyway.tombstone is nowhere historicly competely correct.as i am from nasville teennessee and in the music bussinnesd .later i got booked in tombstone.also wound up writing song about tombstone and the history of them as the chamber of commerce was raising money to repair them or the state would take them up and throw them away so i partned with chamber wrote song about the history of the boardwalks and chamber partnerd with us and recorded song about history of boardwalks and shot music video on it and sold song on cassette tapes inside chamber of commerce and showed music vidio inside sold and signed music cassettes of song.sold three to kevin coster and autugraphed for him and sons.loved tombstone.also did our show at big nose kates sallon.really liked tombstone.thanks bobby mahan

Val as Doc is the best acting performance in screen history.

[@rightcoast4983]

One of my all time favorites. Val Kilmer totally hit it dead on with Doc. All of the actors did a great job really. Never gets old.

[@terryallen5328]

One of the best western movies I’ve ever watched and in my opinion Val Kilmer was absolutely brilliant as Doc Holliday and only Hollywood bureaucracy prevented him from being awarded a well deserved Oscar for his performance.

Worst injustice in motion picture history not giving VAL KILMER an Oscar for his portrayal of Doc. I would love to talk to the 29 people who gave a thumbs down because it would prove that there are ALIENS AMOUNG US. What in the world was there not to like???????

[@markanthonydiamond]

[@brendaharper5998]

Sarah Alton VERY accurate. I have an historical work on some of the more colorful persons in the Old West, very well researched. Johnny Ringo is described as "a powderkeg of a man...impossible to predict." "Half-crazy", was another description. I'd say Michael Biehn was pretty much spot on in his portrayal.

[@SassySandyification]

How well did you know Doc?

[@tkarlmann]

Without a doubt, THE best Western movie ever made.

[@megasif]

tkarlmann You are right but Doc has three shotgun shells in his double barrel at the OK Corel. Telling you.

[@tkarlmann]

I think the best part is where Wyatt says: "I see a Red Sash and I kill the man wearin' it" -- and then he proceeds to do just that! Or is it the "I'm your Huckelberry" line from Doc -- I can't decide! This movie is REALLY about the true friendship between Doc & Wyatt -- the rest is just the setting. Doc KNEW Wyatt could not out-draw Johnny Ringo, but He (Doc) could. Then later Wyatt & Doc are talking about friends. Wyatt says, I've got lots of friends, Doc says: "I don't". GREAT stuff.

[@megasif]

tkarlmann Actually, I think this movie is an attempt to portray a real Western movie from the clothing to the setting...but I suppose even the real life events weren't this good or bad.

[@rogerherrick4312]

+tkarlmann AGREED! Great movie I could watch 6 times a year!

[@CamoShirt]

the part where Doc shoots up in the air to scare the horse didnt make sense either with all the shots already being fired and Doc shooting into the building running back and forth, he must have fired 20 times. other than that the time curly bill keeps shooting is about the only other time im thinking darn typical hollywood with the never ending bullets.

I love everything from the love attraction of Wyatt and Josephine to the wonderful character of Doc Holliday. Great realistic dramatic cinema.

[@CorsetGrace]

Val should have won an Oscar but Kurt Russel deserves an Oscar for directing this movie. He did a brilliant job then kept his promise not to reveal the secret until after the death of Cosmatos. Kurt Russel is a man of honor.

[@fredmichaels418]

YES FINALLY ! Thank You . Mr. Russel deserves far more recognition for his contributions to this endeavor, including cutting some of his own scenes to get the length of the movie to a manageable length .

[@JumpCutThis]

@@fredmichaels418anyone who’s a fan of this movie knows very well that this was put together with Kurt steering the ship and Comsatos was director in name only. He and Val were setting shots the night before and sending out the call sheets, running lines then shooting. I’m so sad that Powers is gone (and even the campy over-actor in Paxton) and we will be bidding adieu to many of these fine actors parting this earth soon, and it will be a very sad time. But what’s wonderful is, many of them gave the performance of their lives in this film. Many have said Kilmer was robbed from an Oscar, but dang if anyone was, it really was Fiennes that year, but I will say Val should have been nominated. But I think what ‘robbed’ him was his reputation- he was impossible to work with, had a sense of entitlement about him. The Ghost and the Darkness is a good example of the kind of person he was then, and since his disability I think he’s become a better person. I think Val robbed Val of a nomination.
