Tom Green Talk Show - Val Kilmer Talks About The Movie Tombstone

[@stevewise1656]

Val deserved an Oscar for that role. Incredible movie and cast.

[@sherryhorton2966]

I agree 100 percent. He absolutely did. I wish he had of. His role as Doc Holiday was unsermountable and nothing less than amazing.

[@RoCkShaDoWWaLkEr]

Movie and music awards are a total industry sham owned and operated by the same companies producing the content. It's always about who's greasing the wheel.

[@johnholliday5874]

Great performance. I can't think of a role that had more memorable dialog, almost every line. But give Dennis Quaid credit for capturing what was probably a more accurate portrayal of tuberculer dentist/gambler.

[@faceones]

Was he nominated?

[@jcfra420]

@@johnholliday5874 Not taking away from Quaid, because I think he is a great actor. But Val Kilmer will always be Doc Holiday. He had some great cut scenes I have watched as well.

[@M4BoarBiker]

Vals portrayal of Doc Holiday made Tombstone one of the best westerns I have ever seen. Great actor 👏

[@JR-ej9up]

Yeah !

[@Chan_Chiba]

Val is a very underratted actor. Incredibly humble and intelligent talent.

[@jordanlee8007]

It’s a shame so many people think he’s an asshole. Really misunderstood and his documentary showed that pretty well. He’s a good guy

[@seanaxner4093]

So underrated for sure. His Doc isn't just the best Doc, it is one of the best characters ever in any movie.

[@tokai5707]

He's not underrated. He's getting cast in big movies

[@Mechulus]

I agree. Tom Green is underappreciated for sure.

[@beowulf1417]

@@jordanlee8007 because during the 90s he WAS an asshole. He's mellowed and humbled since then but his reputation was his own making.

[@Kaff231]

Val should have gotten an Oscar for the role of Doc Holiday. His portrayal of Doc Holiday was so amazing and well done that Val could have had a stand alone movie of Doc Holiday. Absolutely one of the BEST characters Val has ever played. Val will always be our Huckleberry😉

[@Bryan-ip1gf]

Idk about a solo movie. Just for the simple reason of... "Wyatt Earp is my friend." And Wyatt needed Doc.

[@whyfuckinchannel]

@@Bryan-ip1gf Doc Holiday was a real person and lived a life that could easily be made into a movie, even in tombstone he clearly had a backstory which would've been an interesting enough story on its own.

[@katiearpino1142]

Val is outstanding in everything he does , Definitely deserves accolades for his body of work, he has never been given the respect by Hollywood he deserves

[@elizabethcunicelli7023]

Agreed. Never even nominated.

[@benv9711]

Thank you for saying this

[@chipsthedog1]

Vals portrayal of Doc Holiday is one of those that you never forget. Deserved an Oscar

[@KB-eo9bu]

Yes Val Kilmer should have Won for Best Supporting Actor in Tombstone. In Top Gun Maverick when Mav goes to Visit Iceman now an Admiral that scene put Tears in this Old Navy Veterans Eyes.

[@billyhassett2728]

VAl Kilmer one of the greatest. Love all his movies, understand he’s struggling with some health problems I wish him ALL the best and want to thank him for all the fond memories! Tombstone, Wonderland, Salton Sea, etc etc.

[@famebrightstudio451]

One of my favourite actors. The documentary of his life, Val, is great.

[@grahamsmith5768]

Val playing Doc Holliday is just phenomenal.

[@romarhafnaouiwellhereweare2583]

I love the way Val stops. And fucking listens.

[@RichardTroiano]

This is one of my favorite movies. It was so well done, so emotional, and so cohesive that to find out it was made under such difficult conditions is an amazing feat!

[@onlyiforgive5083]

Val kilmer is a legend , tombstone and heat blew me away

Val is great in everything that he's in, but his Doc Holiday is one of my all-time favorite movie performances. I don't have the words to describe how much I love it. It's a treat to hear him do the voice again a little bit in this interview. Also, it's unbelievable that they were able to make such a great movie in the midst of all that chaos on the set of Tombstone.

[@toddsalkowski448]

One of the greatest film performances in the last 30 years!!

[@dazzlinggems]

Such a neat fact how slow the people spoke. Life was such a different pace. Reminds me of the quote “nature does not hurry yet everything is accomplished”

[@antonnym214]

Tombstone, for me, ties as the best western ever made. The other number one has to be The Good, Bad, and Ugly. Some say Val was hard to work with or idiosyncratic, but he is always great to watch. I try to catch everything he is in. He appears to invest so fully in any role, and the best actors do that... so much so that he is barely recognizable from one character to another. Billy Bob Thornton is another that gets fully immersed like that. And in Tombstone, we got both! And so much more! I always guessed that Kurt Russell worked his butt off making that, but certainly the entire amazing cast did, as well. Kudos to Kevin Jarre for a beautiful script. So many qutoeable quotes! All good wishes.

[@dancollins8296]

Love both movies. But tombstone isn't in the same ballpark as the good the bad and the ugly.

[@seventhcompactor1505]

Tombstone still holds

[@ghaniamadi9724]

Film incroyable , inoubliable. Val Kilmer au top , carrément parfait.

[@pandavelli8176]

Speak American, please

[@royw-g3120]

Cosmatos was a figleaf, Russel really stepped in to direct. The buy in he got from the other actors was to cut a lot of his own lines to let them know he was not on an ego trip. The result was an ensemble acting masterpiece.

[@andyoushouldfeelbad]

A fact not as well-known as it should be.

[@RichardTroiano]

How do you know this? In an interview, even Michael Beihn, who had no use for the director and barely talked to him at all refused to say that Kurt Russell really directed the film!

[@PATRICIAANNPAULK1945]

I love love Val Kilmer in anything he’s ever portrayed and/or acted in!! Doc is my all time favorite though♥️💋💋💋💋

[@squatchpnw2331]

Tombstone had the best cast!

[@khriscaplinger4506]

Among every actor that ever portrayed doc Holliday Val kilmer did it the best, thunderheart was a great movie also! Among the rest of the cast of tombstone Kurt Russell Sam Elliott Bill Paxton Powers Booth Michael Bien all played their parts well but it was Val kilmer that made the movie a great western

[@Pork_Knuckle]

Respect to Val. The First Actor I ever saw on the big screen - Movie: Real Genius! Long live Val!

[@hotrox2112]

If you revisit that film, you'll see the undertones of a psyops around what the film is really about, hidden under a comedy.

[@lesliearakelian60]

It's a very true story and Val surely was great .The main reason I liked the movie so much is for the fact I went to school there and walked those wooden sidewalks every day. One could feel the history..

Val was unbelievable as doc holiday. Oscar worthy. Tough year for Oscar’s though

[@cspaulding54]

Val’s performance in tombstone is my absolute favorite performance by any actor & I personally who has seen many many movies of all kinds …& there’s not many performances by any that comes close to.. there’s a few that are good but he was robbed and deserves an Oscar to this day for that performance…

[@johncollins5501]

VAL IS ICEMAN FOREVER. AN ACTOR AHEAD OF HIS TIME

[@chellepatino1675]

With all the issues it's a phenomenal film

[@penoyer79]

one of my favorite val kilmer quotes was asked if it was hard to perform as batman being crammed into a suit where you cannot move much and Val responded "it's not hard at all because a funny tjhing happens. When you're covered in rubber, you're filled with hate"

[@eddiebrown687]

They asked Michael something (the guy that played Johnny Ringo)....what was Val Kilmer like? He said, "I don't know, I never met him. I met Doc Holliday and spent some time around him, but Val Kilmer, the person? Never met him." They say Val would be nice to some actors and directors, to others, he was very distant.

[@elizabethmcleod246]

Maybe he’s shy or aloof.

[@Wellokthen]

I think he was referring to the fact that his character portrayal dominated his own personality

[@johnb7337]

I saw a podcast interview with that guy and he said that it wasn't exactly an extremist method acting practice but the bad guy actors in that movie, the cowboys, would associate with the others in related roles, but weren't social with the movie heroes. He didn't play it off as something odd, just how it worked out.

[@alistercaddy1208]

If you haven't watched Shhhh! Top Secret, you've got to. It's a silly movie but Val Kilmer is bursting at the seams with charisma, youthful beauty and star power.

[@knightfall209]

The story of Val not getting an Oscar is become more of a legend if he actually won it at this point

[@roddyboethius1722]

He wasn't nominated. I would say that plus Ray Liotta not getting the nomination for Goodfellas are the 2 biggest snubs ever

[@andrewgardner8972]

Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer did a great job in tombstone. It’s amazing to see 2 guys who worked with Ron Howard on willow and backdraft appear together on a great western like tombstone.

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

"Different Time zone" ...yes Val ...very true 👍

[@FreeFree-ur4zq]

Everyone is amazing in this film.

[@heathenpriest5292]

Val Kilmer was the best in tombstone.

[@valkilmerheat1752]

[@eyeonart6865]

They should give him an honorary Oscar for snubbing him!

[@pa6491]

Val loves him some Kurt.

[@ritchski1]

His illness took a big toll on him, from this interview to now he is pretty much unrecognisable. Cancer just drains the life out of people.

[@CrispyChikenSammich]

Val had cancer, Doc had consumption...

[@roddyboethius1722]

He deserved a better fate. To lose such a thrilling voice, I admire him for carrying on. I can't imagine such a loss

[@michaelrenkes4463]

Val and Kurt saved that movie. I don't think there is a movie I have seen, outside of American Graffiti, more times than Tombstone. I didn't find it well until after it had been released.

[@WeanerBeaner69]

Great movie

[@roddyboethius1722]

I really made a mistake. I saw Kevin Costner's Wyatt Earp in the theater instead of Tombstone. Dennis Quaid was nothing compared to Val as Doc

[@richposports7030]

Brilliant 👏

[@johnholliday5874]

Ever notice, NOBODY ever talks about Kevin Costner's "Wyatt Earp"? Even in Tombstone, in the touristy shops on Allen Street, if they have movie posters it is from this movie.

[@EDAR96]

Wyatt Earp came out after tombstone and is much worse of a movie. Tombstone is perfect and there’s no chance Kevin Costner could ever out do Kurt Russel

[@DWhite8533]

Val Kilmer talking about Native American ties. The movie Thunderheart is amazing. The whole movie.

[@buddygrimfield7954]

I just realized that for all of the movies I've seen Val appear and star in that this is the first time hearing him speak while he was not in character. Seems like he is very down to earth. I suppose that I just figured that he would be kind of snobby in real life. But no.

[@slowemm]

What happened to Tom Green

[@HavendaleBlvd80]

Val Kilmer was a master of his craft. He should have won the Oscar for his portrayal of Jim Morrison.

[@brians1902]

He didn't mention that Kurt really directed it.

[@leilani1069]

Awesome interview!! Were you on crutches at the time Tom?

[@billofrightsamend4]

The Moravians are a tribe that is from Canada. They are not Hungarian's like they said on America's Cooks Country on PBS. They aren't from Moravia. They are Natives from Canada, it's in old encyclopedias. If you can find one you can read it for yourself. They resided mainly in North Carolina and different parts of the south. Their cooking may have been influenced by the German missionaries in that region. I don't know if native Americans ate onions, but they ate tomatoes, meat, corn, and squash in a stew. They did eat wild onions,which are like chives. Which is very similar to stews from Celtic and European countries.

[@homelandsecuritystagesmass507]

In the scenes where Doc Holliday was sweating,....Val Kilmer didn't not use a make-up assistant to spray him with water mist. Kilmer would actually jog around the sets the work up a sweat on his own, and then film his scene. When Doc is on his deathbed at the sanitarium, watch Kilmer's neck vein pulse,......it was fast because he ran real hard before filming that scene.

[@billofrightsamend4]

That dialect is still in Tennessee, it wasn't dead. Around Nashville, TN there's people that talked like that. Not as slow, but slow by today's standards. My grandfather talked like Johnny Cash, he was from TN. My Great aunt did talk like that she was from East Tennessee. I am not sure but my maternal grandmother and great aunt may be related to the people that once owned Boone Plantation. The original house didn't look like it does now. They may have I am not 100% sure, that's just what I heard from family members.
