In 1896, after the death of Doc, Wyatt said in an article: "I found him a loyal friend and good company. He was a dentist whom necessity had made a gambler; a gentleman whom disease had made a vagabond; a philosopher whom life had made a caustic wit; a long, lean blonde fellow nearly dead with consumption and at the same time the most skillful gambler and nerviest, speediest, deadliest man with a six-gun I ever knew." I think Val Kilmer did a great job portraying him.

This movie did a better job portraying their friendship that Wyatt Earp movie did. Although I liked that movie as well, this one is one of the best all time.

[@donaldseale2700]

The thing about Doc Holiday is that if he hadn't been sick, he wouldn't have been as good as he was. He knew that his illness was terminal and didn't want it to be what kills him, so he would never back down from a fight in hopes that he would one day square of with someone that was better than him. His final words of "this is funny" was kind of an inside joke to himself. He always believed that he would die with his boots on. That is why he said that when he looked at his bare feet.

[@Langsvardet]

Some tall tales got him going up and putting his boot´s on, before he passed. So that he could die "with his boots on". But i don´t know the facts (if any) behind it?

You nailed it when you said you were happy enough to spend time with these characters. Everyone in the movie did an amazing job. Val Kilmer was Doc Holiday reincarnated. His portrayal of Doc Holiday has to be in the top 10 if not top 5 best acting performances of all time.

[@LA_HA]

The cast was stellar. When he was talking about Ringo in the saloon, he didn't seem to understand that Ringo didn't give anything away. He was a professional and doing that spinning to an iron gun was illustrating his dexterity. Ringo was feared in this movie, and for good reason. Earp couldn't beat him. Only Holliday could. Both Ringo and Holliday knew

[@user-tf2wd1eh3g]

@@LA_HA I agree the showboating didn't give anything away, but Doc did get a glimpse of his draw.

[@winchester-1877]

Ash this movie is pretty accurate. There is of course things added because it's a movie. Wyatt did actually yell NO and walk out there like that, and he never got shot. Historians aren't sure who killed Jonny Ringo. He was found by a tree with a bullet in his head. Wyatt Earp said Doc Holliday killed him.

[@3Kings_Industries]

The museum shows Wyatt's coat, w/ multiple bullet holes, from his time as sheriff. Wherein he is supposedly, not to have taken a single wound. Certainly mythical in nature. OG boss. So which is the better gunman, the quicker draw, or he who never takes a wound?

Cannot see Wyatt having killed Ringo I think this is properly the way it went Wyatt was never a gunslinger he would more bum rush guys in fights its part of the reason his gun barrels are so long Doc was the gunslinger so I tend to believe Wyatt and Doc killed him

[@nevinyoung9147]

It was impossible for Doc Holliday to have done it. He was in a sanitarium in Colorado at the time.

[@allthingsnerd.4484]

Ringo is believed to have committed suicide. He was found with a gunshot wound to the head and one round fired from his gun. Interestingly, the film addresses this by obviously having Doc shoot him in the head but then Johnny squeezes off a round into the dirt reflexively as he is stumbling down.

[@Mymloch]

Doc Holliday had tuberculosis (aka "consumption") throughout this movie, just at varying stages. He probably drank a good bit (and used other substances) to dull the pain from it, but it didn't stop him from being as badass as he could be. But that's why he seems sickly in the movie, even when he wasn't drunk. He died from it in 1887; he was 36 years old.

[@Chiller1967]

It was also why people were so scared of him besides his skill with a gun. He knew he was dying and would rather do it in a fight than slowly in bed.

[@amandarose4469]

Check out History Buffs. It holds up pretty well in history vs fiction.

[@Schindlerphoto]

@@orarinnsnorrason4614 The movie is full of inaccuracies, here are a few. The movie depicted Wyatt Earp wanting to stay out of Law Enforcement, but the real Wyatt Earp ran for county Sherriff, and lost. The movie only talked about three Earp brothers being in Tombstone, when in fact there was five of them there. Two of the Earp brothers, Warren and James, rode with Wyatt on his vendetta ride. Lastly, the shootout between Johnny Ringo and Doc Holiday, the problem with that was when Ringo was killed Doc Holiday was over 600 miles away in Colorado. The official ruling, Johnny Ringo frequently threatened to commit suicide, so it is believed that he shot himself. What is going for the movie, save for it being a well produced and enjoyable piece of work. The depiction of the gunfight at the Ok Corral, is considered to be one of the most accurate depictions ever done for the silver screen. All the other films before it often had people getting shot who were not even there, and the whole event taking forever, while the actual gunfight lasted around 30 seconds.

Just one correction: this is not a spaghetti western. "Spaghetti Western" refers to westerns made by Italians in the 1960s and 70s and which were popularized by most famously by Sergio Leone. The genres are fairly different, which is why it's not really fair to compare this movie to Leone's work.

[@docbearmb]

True. And those spaghetti westerns put Clint Eastwood into star territory. He had been in a TV cowboy series (Rawhide) but it was those Spaghetti flicks that really got him noticed. Next thing you knew he was killing it in the Dirty Harry franchise.

The story of Tombstone in real life is actually quite exciting as far as Cowboy stories are concerned. The shoot out at the OK corral was a real event.

"I think this is the only time in the movie so far where anybody has been in cover." *Wyatt casually wades through the middle of a river* Also when Doc looks at his bare feet and goes "this is funny" it's because he always assumed he'd die "with his boots on" in combat, dying in bed was not something he ever thought would happen xD

[@willwilson8964]

I was thought it's cause he loses feeling in his feet. Notice his eyes go wide right before he looks down. I think that was something that happened with TB. I could be wrong.

"That woman in the street " was Josephine the dancer he had met at the saloon. She really was the love of his life and was with him when he died in 1929. After the Tombstone chapter, Wyatt and Josephine were “hardly ever apart, though never legally married, for the next 45 years.” They staked mining claims throughout the West, including Alaska, and dabbled in horse racing, real estate, casinos, and even the movie business. She died penniless in December 1944 in Los Angeles, and both she and Wyatt's remains are interred in Colma, Calif. They never had children.

[@NBLP7001]

He says 'huckleberry.' An authentic archaic southern expression meaning "I'm the man for the job." The script says huckleberry. Val Kilmer's autobiography is titled, "I'm Your Huckleberry." If you turn on closed captions on the DVD, Blu-Ray, etc, they read, 'huckleberry.' In fact the ONLY place where it says hucklebearer is the internet where many people have bought into the Mandela Effect.

In reality…When Wyatt killed curly bill…it was down hill. Wyatt had the high ground (no obi-wan pun intended) and then shot curly bill with 2 shotgun blasts that nearly cut his body in half. Wyatt said doc holiday was the fastest gunslinger he’s ever seen in his time.

Bro, not only did Doc spin both guns while holding his tin cup, but he spun each one in a different direction at the same time. One overhand, one underhand. It impressed the hell out of me when I slowed it down and saw that.

[@adamskeans2515]

An interesting story, Stephen Lang, who played Ike Clanton, spent most of his time on camera completely drunk in order to capture the spirit of that character.

[@michellelamar8965]

In the old west, it was a bit of an "honor" or "distinction" to die "with your boots on" (i.e in a gunfight as opposed to dying in bed from illness) I know others have commented on Doc Hollday's last words (in the movie and IRL) referencing his surprise that he was doing the latter rather than the former. My purpose is not to repeat that info But in the real Tombestone there is a graveyard called "Boot Hill" (yes, the cemetery dates from that time period and still exists). "Boot Hill" is reserved for to those who died "with their boots on" (it's where the men the Earps shot in the gunfight at the OK coral are buried I believe) If you re-watch near the beginning when we and the Earps both first drive in Tombestone you catch a glimpse of "Boot Hill" cemetery, (or a replication) and it's most famous headstone (or again, possibly a replication) "Here lies Lester Moore Four slugs from a .44 No Les, No Moore."

[@OutlawOfTexas]

[@midnightowl5783]

I just came across this reaction and figured I'd add in a little bit of historical trivia: After the events of Tombstone and the OK Corral, Wyatt Earp spent his twilight years in Los Angeles when the film industry was picking up. He wanted a movie made to show his side of the story regarding Tombstone, and he ended up spending a lot of time as a consultant on the early Western movies. He worked very closely with a young production assistant named Marion Robert Morrison, who he told all his stories and exploits to. These stories inspired the young Marion to pursue his dreams of becoming an actor himself. His given name wasn't quite star material, however, so he took the stage name of John Wayne.

His lover also known as Big Nose Kate would live on and its actually really exciting to read about her and her relationship to Doc

[@justtrustash]

Hahaha gonna be using that everyday! Thank you for recommending it mate, appreciate you ❤️

"I'll be your Huckleberry", one of the best lines in cinema in my book and the reveale as well as it is Doc and not Wyatt at the end. The dinamic and chemistry between Russel and Kilmer is so good. Love this movie. Thanks Ash for this reaction!

[@tomservo4president61]

There are so many poker players I play as well as myself who use that line I’m your huckleberry, and it must be a peach of a hand. We all laugh about it.

Sam Elliot and Clint Eastwood were in a movie together. A western Musical called “Paint your wagon.” A really nice film and fun film. It’s old but it’s great.

[@louielouie22]

One of my favorite movies of all time. I think you missed the final words of the last scene. She said her family was rich.

[@poolhall9632]

Another great observation - Ringo did give away something to Doc when he was showing off. Doc knew he had the mental edge after that.

Bro, Deadwood series is excellent. 3 seasons of the best wild west action and suspense.

Dude smoking the opium pipe is my favorite scene!

A story about how this film shaped my life…This movie came out when I was around 6 years old and my grandfather bought it for me on VHS after taking me to the theater to see it. I literally wore the film inside the VHS out due to my constant watching and rewinding the movie so many times 😂 I remember putting it in one of those old fashioned VHS rewinders that you could buy separately from the VHS player back in the early 90s. I remember crying because it chewed the tape up and I was just heartbroken and forced my grandparents to take me to Walmart the very next morning and begging them to buy me 2 copies that way I had a spare if it got messed again 😂😂😂 My grandfather always spoiled me so of course he said yes, and I’m being dead serious when I say that I was quite literally the happiest chubby 6 year old on the planet 🌎 Once my son was old enough to watch it and enjoy it like I did as a little tot, I sat him down with a huge bucket of popcorn and we watched it together. I didn’t tell him that we were watching the very movie I named him after (his first name is Wyatt and his middle name is Morgan, which is Wyatt’s younger brothers name)…so when they finally said his name in the movie he just turned to me and with the biggest eyes and the widest grin he said “Wowww mama they named a movie after meee!!!!!!”😅 Then I had to explain to him that he was actually named after the movie characters, and I thought that might make him sad, but it actually made him smile even bigger and say “I’m named after a REAL LIFE cowboy 🤠?!?!…wow thanks ma!” At that moment, my heart was filled with happiness ❤ a silly thing to get so happy over, but it’s a moment I treasure and always will.

4:40 It took the producers two months to trap enough mustaches in the wilds of Australia and Turkey to have enough for the entire cast . . . . They say a stunt coordinator was killed by a rogue mustache on set before it could be broken 🙂

[@DeeboX-vv8ji]

Doc looked like Death as he stood in the shadows of that tree, and he ended up being just that.

[@jimirayo]

"That mustache deserve an Oscar"! Bwahahahaha!

[@Locquiao93]

Val Kilmer needed an Oscar for this. Check out “Hostiles” (2017), brutal western with Christian Bale. And “Cold in July” (2014), almost has like modern western vibes. Underrated mystery thriller.

[@mattrogersftw]

Doc Holidays grave is near me in Glenwood Springs Colorado. Dude is a legendary figure out here in the 4 corners area.

“That mustache deserves an Oscar” 😂

"Is that the Bat--Nipple himself?"...........🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@QuayNemSorr]

15:25 Please notice that Val Kilmer rotates the guns in separate directions. Awesome detail

[@jckmisha]

ok, "what if your mom accidently gave you a red handkerchief" had me dead. you're great.

[@justtrustash]

😂 cheers Chris

[@Tdub0911]

Val playing Doc is one of the best characters in cinema. Every single little thing in this movie is awesome.

[@Heegaherger]

If you want another western I would suggest Silverado (1985). It's a fun Western with two constellations worth of star: Scott Glenn, Kevin Kline, Kevin Costner, , Danny Glover, Brian Dennehy, Jeff Goldblum and more. That and *nobody* else has reacted to it.

[@firekrys]

Yes I will echo this. Silverado happened to be the first Western I ever say, as a child. The next one was True Grit with John Wayne. But I would love a Silverado reaction.

Val the "doc" man great movie an all out cast great reaction Ash 👍🙏🏼

[@tkvids1377]

The best part about Val and Kurt is that you ABSOLUTELY believe how badass they are, like it doesn't look cheesey

[@Slevencolevra]

I had to watch your review of this classic, I have not watched your reaction yet. But I know I'm going to love it

[@spaghetti9845]

my favorite part of the movie is 21:14 when they all stop and he says "thats not what I want" but doc just walks right past them with zero fucks given.

[@davenoppe8574]

Love this movie especially Val Kilmer’s Doc Holliday. Two other great westerns: Unforgiven and The Outlaw Josey Wales. Both Clint Eastwood movies and both are fantastic. Love the channel energy!

[@justinpeck6015]

You picked a great movie for your next reaction to man 🤙Theres really a lot of great westerns.

[@dragonray9450]

My favorite western and the bond between Doc and Wyatt reminds me of the bond between 2 men like last samurai :)

[@TheDarkangelazrael]

You do realize that Hannah has to see this with you now, right!? This needs to be a thing!

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

My favorite line in the whole movie: "I'm here huckleberry." I don't even know why. It just gets me.

[@moxieone6816]

Everything that happened in this film is pretty true to life. Wyatt did walk out in the middle of the river and kill Curly Billl. While Curly Bills shotgun blast missed Wyatt. The OK Coral fight was taken from life with things like where Doc used the shotgun to scare the horse then shot the Cowboy in the side. Ike did run up to Wyatt in the middle of it who in fact did say “either get to fighting or get out of the way’ (paraphrased) they did go on a revenge kick against the cowboys after Morgan was killed which was called “ the Earp vendetta Ride” and also killed Frank Stilwell at the train station in real life, and much more. However Doc did not kill Johnny Ringo it’s believed he died form suicide. The reason Doc looks at his feet just before he dies and says “isn’t that funny.” Is because he always thought he would die with his boots on.

[@ForgottenHonor0]

Doc never does things by halves. He knows he's dying and he knows he's a great gunfighter and an equally great cardplayer. Everything he does is a self-destructive reaction to his own mortality which is slowly slipping away every day. He wants to die with his boots on.
