Ironically, based on the information we have of the real Doc from the historical records, he actually was playing a caricature of Doc. Still one of my favorite performances in any film. The performance by Dennis Quaid a year later in Wyatt Earp is considered to be the most accurate portrayal of the actual Doc Holliday. Also one of my favorite performances.

Ringo twirling his guns revealed to Doc that he was just a boy in a man's world. In real life, Cowboys used to twirl their guns while on cattle drives across hundreds of miles of land. They simply did it out of boredom. It was literally just like a fidget spinner for a modern teen that needs to keep their mind stimulated. Ringo just had the mentality of teenage bully scaring innocent, peaceful folks with flashy twirls. Doc saw this right away. Doc is a killer with nothing to lose because he already had one foot in the grave. When he drew his guns it wasn't to show off, it was to kill. He was so skilled with his guns that he mocked Ringo's gun twirls by perfectly replicating his moves on first sight with his drinking cup. He was drunk and half dead sick and Ringo realized that regardless of that he came across a real killer.

And right there is the gist of the friendship between Wyatt and Doc - LOYALTY! Also...the best portrayal of Doc Holliday I've seen.

I’ve told people that I’ve known over many years that if you want to be my friend then you better be ready to grab your guns or a shovel if I call at 3 in the morning with an emergency. If you can’t think of a single person in your life who you could call at that time and be ready to ride or die regardless of the situation then you don’t have REAL friends. But if you can think of someone who falls under that situation then you have a true friend. People that “have 100 friends” don’t have a single real one. The people who have only one or two friends have family that isn’t blood and that is truly priceless. That’s why every person in my family, blood or otherwise, has the utmost respect and love for Doc Holliday. Legends never die!

Seems like I'm the only one that sees it this way, but l always took it as Doc was faking being so sick to trick Wyatt because he knew he wouldn't let him go in his sted. He asked him about the badge because he knew wyatt would give it to him and he could use it. That's why he says, " I wasn't quite as sick as I made out." I could be misreading the scene, but that is what i always took from it.

I'm surprised none of the viewers realized that Doc was wanting Ringo to end him so he could die with his boots on even though Doc had won the duel. That's why Doc was so pissed that Ringo wasn't a daisy after all.

The more I look back at history the more I think: If only those people had antibiotics…
@michaelccozens4 ай бұрын
The first person to receive penicillin was dying from an infection acquired when he scratched his hand on a thorn in his rose-garden. The penicillin worked incredibly well, but unfortunately there wasn't enough of it to finish-off the infection. By the time more was made, the infection had rebounded and killed the patient. All from the prick of a thorn. That was about 100 years ago. The scary thing is that we're actively moving back to a pre-antibiotics age where any random compromising of the skin-barrier could be your death. The US uses the vast majority of its antibiotics to offset the unhygienic conditions in factory farms, feeding the compromised animals a constant low dose in order to give the meat monopolies like Tyson a little more money. This is also exactly the strategy you'd use if you were attempting to grow antibiotic-resistant pathogens, which is why said bugs are now exploding across the nation and we're down to our last lines of biomedical defense. In addition, the refusal by the government and Big Pharma to invest in the long-term research needed to create new classes of antibiotic means it's unlikely any new "silver bullets" will be discovered before we've completely compromised the old ones. It's literally insane. It's like watching a species that's absolutely dedicated to its own destruction. We might as well be sexually-attracted to fire.

@@michaelccozens That’s silly. Antibiotics still work perfectly for everyday infections. It is a problem for some superinfections, but those are rare, and certainly aren’t in your everyday cut or puncture wound.

"You're no daisy at all" is a cold blooded thing to say as a man is stumbling to his death by your hipfire shot while smoking. My favorite scene in all of cinema, embellished and unrealistic as it is.

It’s kind of a miracle that this movie is so good. It was a really troubled production that went through several directors. See if you can find the theatrical trailer. It’s got quite a few clips from scenes that didn’t make the final cut.

“Careful Johnny! I heard he’s real fast!” Should show their reactions when Doc and Johnny Ringo first met the night at the saloon casino with stage actress Josephine. “You must be Doc Holiday. You retired too?” “Nope. I’m in my prime. You must be Johnny Ringo. Look darlin’ Johnny Ringo. The deadliest pistoleer since Wild Bill (Hickok) they say.” He and Ringo exchanged Latin words until Ringo drew his gun at him. He twirled his gun around then Doc twirled his cup.

"The deadliest PISTOL THERE IS SINCE Wild Bill,they say" --the correct line spoken by Doc in the scene you referenced. I'm certain his southern drawl responsible for the clear misunderstanding. I can definitely see you could hear it your way though . Regardless. Your otherwise accurate recounting of an awesome scene in my all time favorite movie brought a smile to my face and many fond memories to mind I'll always cherish.. cheers!

Michael Biehn is downright terrifying when he plays a villain, partially because he plays a villain with the same humanity as any of his hero characters (Kyle Reese is his own personal fave). The real Johnny Ringo, the product of a repressive upbringing, was even more terrifying. One detail they get wrong in this movie was that the real Johnny Ringo was found with a gunshot wound in his right temple, not this left (that's "his" right versus "his" left), and a gaping exit wound on the back of his head. That also means that he was most likely shot head-on rather than at an upward angle.

I see the “Hucklebearer” myth is still somehow going strong, doesn’t matter what the script says, doesn’t matter what Val named his book, they read it online so it must be true.
@testodudeАй бұрын
Not only the script. The line "I'm your huckleberry. That's just my game" came straight out of the source material-- Walter Noble Burns' novel Tombstone: An Iliad of the Southwest from 1927. That novel is the source for most Wyatt Earp movies and mythos.
