Movies Val Kilmer acting performance in Tombstone

[Takes Two To Tango]

Imo his best performance, easily a 10 for me.

Absolute masterclass.

He should have been at least nominated for an Academy Award.

RIP sir.

I'm not a fan of the movie overall, but undeniable that Kilmer was amazing in it. It's worth watching that movie just for his performance

 

[KnightTemplar]

A great cast, and Kilmer still managed to steal every scene and make it look effortless.

RIP, Doc.

 

[Sobek]

I still get lost in it and forget that it's him much of the time

Now this is a 10, no question.

Flawless, amazing performance with an already star studded cast.

"Why Johnny Ringo...."

RIP

It's no top secret....

 

[Spam On Rye]

Great. A film to watch with dads and uncles.

 

[Valhoven]

Dawgs voting mediocre or below...

Kilmer ruined it for any actor who wants to play Doc Holiday (or Jim Morrison, for that matter). The best anyone can hope for is 2nd.

Everything about that character was perfect as far as I am concerned.

Kilmer of course was locked in an his vocal style was super weird but in a way which made it incredibly distinct.

The dialogue and lines and unique but memorable terminology.
"I'm your Huckleberry"
"Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave."
"Not me, I'm in my prime"


The actor who played Ringo really crushed it in his role and I feel like his performance was crucial in elevating Kilmer. Gotta have thay worth dance partner to sell the rivalry and Michael Beihn did a great job as well.


Kind of crazy to think that pulled off such a classic film with a switch in director midway and supposedly Kurt Russel taking on a lot of director responsibilities to see the project thru.


Quite the cast all around, even the bit parts featured very solid actors BillyBob Thornton, Charlton Heston, Michael Rooker John Corbett, Jason Prisetly, Terry O'Quinn, Frank Stallone

Still quite sad, but considering the state he was in in 2014 with the throat cancer I'm surprised he made it another 11 years. I thought he was a goner for sure. I know it doesn't matter what people look like but he was one of the best looking men to grace our screens. I'm just sorry I chased him off when I met him.

 

[Gutter Chris]

Absolutely great performance




Thos scene just makes me smile.

Also bigwaverider you aren't forgotten and I loved when you turned this into a jones gif

I always thought Will Ferrel could have crushed it in a spoof of Jim Morrisson like Walk Hard. Especially 'old' Morrisson. Not just the look but the voice too.

I used to talk to Jim on the back of a pizza box with a 2p coin doing Ouija. We even had a password MOJORISING for him.
Yes I know it's been proven to be a trick of the mind but stoner college me was completely invested.

 

[Yoricks Wisdom]

Always got a laugh out of this one by Fallon. They even outfitted the musicians to look like Densmore, Krieger and Manzarek.

Kilmer was a great talent.
damn, dude was younger than me.

 

[Brother Numsi]

Should have won an Oscar easily. His performance was like Pacino in “Scarface”

RIP Iceman

Loved Fallon for all they lip sync battle stuff as well. I can't count how many times I've watched Tom Holland turning Singing in The Rain to Umbrella and his mrs do Bruno Mars. And The Rock doing Taylor Swift.
