I'm your huckleberry Tombstone scene

[vegasmc702]

Doc Holliday. Born, John Henry Holliday August 14, 1851. Griffin, Georgia

[AFVMasters]

love it

[gallahercrystal]

best movie ever...I have seen it a million times...I have always wondered....if the scene in this movie was plannned to where he looks like an angel....his coat outlined in the light...does anyone agreee?????????????

[fishblue70]

2:02 "COME ON...........COME ON.......COME ON!

[RobRoy4890]

One of the best Westerns ever! The friendship portrayed on film of Wyatt and Doc truely something to be Honored and cherished. Have it and am truely blessed for it.There's no re-defining that relationship. Rob Roy.Top Shot season 5 applicant.

[HunnyNetWork]

Poor soul, you were just too high strung lmao.

[HunnyNetWork]

I wonder if Ringo was scared of Doc. I mean I think deep down inside he tried to act like he wasn't but in this scene he really looked scared. Val Kilmer killed this performance and he should have won Best Supporting Actor, amazing scene. Amazing movie ever.

[BloodEagle729]

"Oh, ah beg ta diffuh, suh..."

I love the way he says that.

[berrypossum]

huckle bearer

[sinclaire1800]

0:03- Something very eerie and very cool the way Holiday approaches Ringo through those two trees... in the shawdows... Damn good movie, and I do not like Westerns at all...

[MrBuddyisreal]

Actually its Hucklebearer not huckleberry a " huckle " was originally what they called the handle on a casket. So he is basically saying he will carry you in the casket he put you in.

[MrRucknroll]

most dangerous thing in the world is a man that is already dead

[DontTread0nMe1776]

@MrRucknroll Or to put it another way "A man with nothing left to lose is a dangerous man".

[maven21]

shot him in the head and didn't even drop his cigarette..hardcore!!!

[AryanTheurgist]

Heed these words, you no account yankee dingo rascals.

[schmeltingaccident]

For the longest time I thought he was saing I'm here, Huckleberry. :/

[cdemps7]

That is, without a doubt, some of the most dreadful acting I've ever seen. Are those guys are supposed to be cowboys? Bunch of lily white city-boy posers, the lot of 'em.

[x3diamondstar7]

@cdemps7 you don't know anything about acting then......

[cdemps7]

@x3diamondstar7 And you don't know anything about cowboys.

[x3diamondstar7]

@cdemps7 actually i do...

[wolfie83]

@cdemps7 ...and I suppose you're some billy badass? give me a break.

[cdemps7]

@wolfie83 I'll give you one break. Be back on the job in 15 minutes. :D

[wolfie83]

@cdemps7 Nah, I got better ways to get money.

[flashoftruth]

why they didn't allow him to finish the last sentence is beyond me...it is the best line in the scene.

[107moneymike]

@flashoftruth it was just the word "far"...close enough to interpret imo :)

[montereypopfestiva67]

the smirk at 0:45 is fantastic. Doc knows Ringo is afraid, becuase Ringo knows Doc is the fastest draw.

[Silentbob77772002]

5 people ain't no daisies,they ain't no daisies at t'all.

[morganod]

great

[gunny426plymouth]

"I wasn't" should be an oscar just saying...

[sprint382]

Hucklebearer, not huckleberry, is a palbearer, in other words saying, I will bury you.

[TheClassics4me]

@sprint382

Actually it's from a combination of early American sayings. In this instance it's "I'm the best man for the job."

[Jolan61]

@sprint382 sorry, its huckleberry. you can get copies of the script. Not an uncommon saying for the time period.

[Pankakeface2]

I'm related to Doc Holiday. This makes me happy.

[MrFleshyheadedmutant]

Just tell me this ain't badass.

Val Kilmer soooooooooo cool.

"I'm your huckleberry."

[lfcjohno11]

Who on earth won the oscar that year if not Val?

[TheClassics4me]

@lfcjohno11

I believe it was Ralph Fiennes for Amon Goeth in 'Schindler's List'.

I agree with you though, Kilmer deserved the win.

[therau05]

@TheClassics4me Actually, no. It was Tommy Lee Jones for The Fugitive.

[saberstylist]

Kilmer at his best!

[watchitnowison]

Kilmer / Holiday.. Both kickass/ kickdass..

I'm your Huckle...

Nuff said!

[stclairtr]

They all gay but that ok

[tankdogg937]

Yer no daisy, Yer no daisy at all.

[ShareTheMike]

Val Kilmer didn't win an Oscar because the movie's quality was uneven....Good movie mind you....Just inconsistent....It's not KIlmer's fault....but great performances in less than great movies seldom get rewarded....

[tubenachos]

Say when

[sirmoosa]

Favorite line.... I'm your huckleberry. Especially the first time he said it. Val KilmerKILLED this role!

[Jeans11234567]

epic val kilmer... love this movie!!

[lolsillyskop]

This accent actually prevalent in any US states or is it an exaggeration of the southern accent?

Very curious about this. I love it.

(from Australia)

[EviLQuicK]

@lolsillyskop It's the southern accent from georgia at that time.

[uhcofrog]

@EviLQuicK Georgia? except this movie was set in Arizona. Western accent of the ninteenth century. Southern accent is different.

[mistagunn]

@uhcofrog

Doc Holliday was from Georgia...hence the Georgia accent.

[EviLQuicK]

@mistagunn Yep! He was from Georgia, so that's why Val Kilmer took that accent. Such a good actor. ;)

[JTtheLAR]

@lolsillyskop I'm from the South. Yes there are some people that talk like that . But not many, most of us hav a slight accent.

[Nick40ghs]

@lolsillyskop most people in the United States do not have a southern accent at all. Accents of a southern style typically aren't heard until you get below the state of Tennessee and stretches to the east coast and to about as far as Texas.

[JScott1266]

@Nick40ghs I have heard accents from people as far north as the Iowa/Missouri border.

[Bystandah]

@Nick40ghs I don't know about that. I live in KY(originally from MA) and my wife's family all have accents. but then again, they're from the KY/TN border.

[clickmaximus]

@lolsillyskop I Live in Southwest Florida (Florida Cracker) Lee county (named after the famous southern Civil War General, Robert E. Lee). My neighbor is from Shelby North Carolina, born and raised and has a very thick accent. The Southern "Drawl" as its referred to is an accent native to MANY states in the southeastern region of the U.S. Don't listen to the Yankees to get the facts on a Southern question. Say hi to the dingo for me mate!

[TheBikefish]

@lolsillyskop that must be one of my favorite accents, next to Australian and Russian

[romeedee]

@lolsillyskop My grandparents are from southern Georgia, born in the nineteen-twenties, and their accents sounds like this. It is really endearing. Coincidentally, my grandfather was stationed down-under during WWII, and recalls fond memories of it. He claims that after Georgia, Australia has the prettiest girls.

[lostmytiara]

@lolsillyskop yeah....it's not all across the states. doc's is the most badass southern accent i've ever heard and i usually cringe hearing southern accents.

[aeia]

@lolsillyskop brad pitt does a much better rendition of this form of accent in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, and some people still talk a bit like this in very very rural southern areas.

[LazarusDurden]

@lolsillyskop It's more of a refined southern gentleman accent from Georgia at that time. It was meant to imply education which wasn't that common for Southerners at that time. There wasn't really a public school system until after Reconstruction which happened after the American Civil War ended in 1865. "Doc" Holiday was actually a dentist by trade but he wasn't able to do that after he got tuberculosis that's why he can speak Latin in the movie.

[tmakohd]

anybody know the name of the song the violine player was playing in the birdcage play scene with the devil

[dweanes]

My favorite movie of all time. Doc ruled this movie. Val Kilmer nailed it. Now I have to go watch the movie for the 9,999 time. lol

[TobeyStarburst]

Kilmer OWNED this role. He's so great.

[don417]

it's bad enough being shot IN THE HEAD but to be talked smack to after is just over the top.

[frezdead1]

@don417 its ok. he started it doc finished it. dont talk shit while your standing . if you dont want shit talked while your on your death knees.

[mrzack888]

Wyatt was clearly relieved that Doc killed Ringo.

[GoldeneyePwner]

Doc Holiday in Tombstone = present day Omar in The Wire

[tiVazouneTo2011]

@GoldeneyePwner omar is gay DUDE,Doc isn't.

[GoldeneyePwner]

@tiVazouneTo2011 Correction: A gay Doc Holiday = present day Omar in The Wire.

[TDS4UT]

There is a lot here. The Biblical reference to Revelations the man on the pale horse the angel who's name is death and hell followed with him. Then you have this Mark Twain reference here.

[marcelles16]

The best

[3434aaaa]

How the hell did Val Kilmer not win an Oscar for this movie, I'll never understand.

Bravo, Val !!

Bravo !!!

[meldme]

@3434aaaa - I hear that. Unfortunately, Kilmer fell victim another to another enormous Hollywood mistake, when it came to the Academy handing out awards. The list only gets longer. Taking the Oscars seriously has become a joke.

[TJandDana06]

@3434aaaa I totally agree with you. I think this was the best performance he's ever done.

[IggyHazard]

The bullet hole doesn't match the angle of the shot. It looks like it should have entered through the underside of Ringo's jaw and blown out the top of his skull.

[Stiletos]

@IggyHazard No, he certainly could have shot him in the forehead from that angle but the bullet would have exited through the top of Johnny's head.

[IggyHazard]

@Stiletos Revising my previous statement. I was mistaken. This time I rewatched it and paused it to be sure. The angle does look feasible.

[RLC761]

@Stiletos

According to historic accounts, Johnny Ringo was indeed shot in the head, though some suspect that it was suicide, due to depression brought on by the death of Curly Bill Brocius. There is some debate as to whether Doc Holiday did it, because historically, he was supposed to have been in the Colorado sanitarium in the final stages of his TB illness. Though I'd like to believe Doc took him out

[IggyHazard]

Tobacco works wonders for tuberculosis. Mike vs. Val. The only situation in which I'd side against Mike (he's best known for his heroic roles).

[frezdead1]

itscrazy ,when he say's c'mon. johhny. its like adding insult to injury. FATAL INJURY THAT IS , poor johhny ringo.

[DrPoon]

By far Val Kilmers best roll.

[orlandothx]

@DrPoon nup.... maybe is one of the best... but the best of all his performances is H.E.A.T... AL PACINO, DE NIRO, pls dont tell me you havent seen it yet. Cheers.

[MyFuckingZombie]

I fuck was like raised on this movie! Love the 5 star acting!!!

[CaptBeauregards]

LOVE THIS SHIITE!!!

[frezdead1]

tuberculosis was a terrible way to die back then. being confined to a sanitarium. and left to waste away. nowadays they have drugs to help. but still there is no cure. t.b was also known as consumption. or lunger.

[Inquisitr]

@frezdead1 TB has a cure, well regular ol TB. Drug resistant is a whole nother story.

[frezdead1]

johhny ringo met his match that day from a lunger. they should have wrote a song about it.

[STEVEGET]

Hucklebearer = Doc Holliday was basically saying I'll put you in your grave

[KryptKeeper40]

This is my favorite movie by far! Nothing even comes close....

[Toneytc]

Actually great dialogue in this scene. Echoes from previous encounters in the flick. When at the OK Corrall a McClaury says to Holliday, "I've got you now you son of a bitch" Holliday says "you're a daisy if you do." and Ringo saying to him, "I'll put you out of your misery" Doc says "Say when" He echoes them both here. "You're no daisy" meaning he wanted to be put out of his misery but whoever did had to earn the right by besting him in a duel.

[KILLDOZER555]

0:19 Ringo shit himself.

[TheHeater90]

Val Kilmer as Doc is THE MAN in this movie!!! One of the best characterizations in movie history! And also his best role by far!

Every time Kurt Russel's kind of over-the-top performance("NO! NOOO!! NOOOOOOO!!!") threatens to kill the movie, Val's awesomeness and the film's overall look/feel save it in a big way!

[lepoete20]

Si on observe bien les westerns on voit un jeu de cowboys de combattants et surtout le respect du duel , ils se mettent l'un en façe de l'autre et chacun a le droit a son arme , l'autre ne tirera pas si son adversaire n'est pas armé et pret au duel , Cela s'appelle la loyauté MADE IN AMERICA et c'est une des caracteristiques qui a fait la forçe des Américains !

[andrewsanders1984]

Doc actually says, "I'm your huckle-bearer." As in, today you would say "I was the pall-bearer at my Grandfather's funeral."

[jigglypiggly]

@andrewsanders1984 The script say's "huckleberry" so that is what it is.

[andrewsanders1984]

@jigglypiggly That makes no sense whatsoever, though.

[jigglypiggly]

@andrewsanders1984

"A man; specif., the exact kind of man needed for a particular purpose. 1936: "Well, I'm your huckleberry, Mr. Haney." Tully, "Bruiser," 37. Since 1880, archaic.

[andrewsanders1984]

@jigglypiggly Ah, I see. I like huckle-bearer better, though.

[n1c4m1]

''Whyyy Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave.'' FUCKING EPIC!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!

[brianm2k7]

Val Kilmers best ever performance. Why couldnt he be this bomb in other movies

[banglefaar]

@brianm2k7 He was in "Willow" as Madmartigan!

[AHafan2]

I love the twinge of regret in Doc after he does it - he never shows any remorse except here, it shows he respected Ringo in at least some small way: he was more an equal to him than other enemies (he even comments on in when they fist meet; they also match each other in Latin and gun-twirling abilities)

[calisunkissed3]

there are so many good lines from Doc in this movie this being one of them

[PontiacFighter]

I love this movie and love this scene. However the common consensus is that Holliday did not kill Ringo, but I would like to believe that this is what happened. True or not, it's a great story.

[revolutionroom]

My hypocrisy goes only so far.

[STEVEGET]

@revolutionroom I concur, this is good.

[TsukiKira]

"I'm your huckleberry."

That line still gives me chills.

Absolutely LOVE this movie <3

The acting is amazing

[mizzipaul82]

your no daisy

[MrCallbullshit]

they say he should have won an oscar for playing doc...but he was too much an ass and the ones who decide winners did not like him....to me...he did win one...what a great part he played,,,,,

[Babiiemoore]

1:59

[CSTactical1]

Love this scene. The best move Val Kilmer did.

[Rolend44]

Kilmer SHOULD have won an Oscar for his role & truly amazing job in the role!

[SuperErich1980]

Val was awesome in the Salton Sea as well.

[aagjmb]

"I'm your huckle bearer." Not huckleberry.  A huckle was a handled coffin of the time period. It's in the original script as huckle bearer, and it makes a LOT more sense than huckleberry.

[sarahsoflyassaphire]

@aagjmb The expression "I'm your huckleberry" spoken by Doc means "I'm the perfect man for the job." It is not a reference to Mark Twain's Huck Finn, as that book was published in 1885 and this movie takes place in 1881. And it ain't "huckle bearer" either. The whole phrase is "I'm a huckleberry to your persimmon". The trivia section on IMDB for Tombstone is your friend y'all. :)

[MrElfro89]

@sarahsoflyassaphire the subtitles are mine ;)

[SixxyFeelgood]

@aagjmb the script says huckleberry, huckleberry meant man for the job...NOW THAT MAKES SENSE.

[analyticaltristan]

5 people lost in a gun fight...hah!

[ImSmarterThanYuo]

"My hypocrisy only goes so far."

[incogneegro]

what is the meaning of the slang "lunger" or is that even what they call doc?

[Trekker1801]

@incogneegro Doc had tuberculosis which is a disease of the lungs. Back then, you were called "Lunger" if you had it. Quite historically accurate.

[EviLQuicK]

@incogneegro It's for "lung" because of the tuberculosis

[tat2miami]

@incogneegro TB is often called Black Lung Disease

[TheDavidG54]

@incogneegro It is a derogatory term for a person with consumption, i.e. Tuberculosis.

[hitman1365]

@incogneegro tuberculosis is a lung disease by the way. :D

[RLC761]

@incogneegro

It is a 19th century derogatory name for tuberculosus. John "Doc" Holiday moved west hoping the dry air would cure his condition.

[azutarafan1]

What does the phrase "You ain't no daisy..." mean???

[SeancyB]

@azutarafan1 Daisy was slang for "best in class". Johnny Ringo was not the best between them.

[kd84afc]

Val Kilmer is a great actor and yes is underrated but he had far more commercial success then Michael Biehn, In this film, My opinion I think Michael Biehn is such a talented actor and this filmed showed it and deserved more recognition for his acting

[fal2grace]

the strain was more than he could bear:) love this movie

[16BaseLoader]

"say when"

[JDezi4]

Anyone else think Cal Kilmer got robbed of a much deserved Oscar nomination?

[MrRo330]

Wow, the eyes.

The sweat.

The cigarette.

And I'm sitting behind a computer not out there in the woods.

[Charlielangford]

Apparently, all the moustaches in this film were real. I WANT ONE.

[Charlielangford]

YOU AIN'T NO DAISY, YOU AIN'T NO DAISY ATALL.

[Spectre883]

"I wasn't".....Love it!

[smitten40]

wow the west,,, were are the black people,, dam makes you wonder,,,, hollywood shame on u

[spareaxe]

I heard the real Johnny Ringo committed suicide instead.

[Wonderbread8909]

say when

[1991Fever]

Say when

[celmonico]

I am your huckleberry also means " here I am insignificant" or I am the man you are looking for.

Google the phrase and ask for the meaning and find many possible meaning.

[draciel80]

that's a true friend right there

[RealNeurotiq]

If you were to diarrhea into a bag and stuff it into a DVD player that would be the movie Shane.

This however, is epic.

[kdbrown777]

4 people were no daisies...

[madeofdeath21]

awesome how ringo's dying and doc's taunting the bastard, great scene.

[kdbrown777]

@madeofdeath21 "You ain't no daisy..."  Classic.

[dawiedawie]

Best ever!

[IggyHazard]

How many legends can they fit into one movie?! Val, Kurt, and Mike all in one scene! Michael Biehn and Bill Paxton are both sons of the South. No wonder they team up in movies so often (even they're playing opposite each other).

[dfpoe]

the 4 people who disliked this video were...just too high strung...

[cabalofdemons]

@dfpoe the strain was more than they could bare.

[goofyleo3]

@dfpoe Poor souls. I guess the video was more than they could bear..... ;)

[ELLEAQUAWATCH]

huckelberrers is the word same as palberrer

[SuperErich1980]

Wyatt could have faced Ringo and taken him. Wyatt was just as good. Funny enough, Wyatt never got so much as a scratch from any gunfight he was ever in.

[atmadc68]

i love jonnys o shit look at 0:50...he always knew doc was the fastest

[killerproninja]

Total your fucken dead moment by"Doc Holiday" 1.42 what he meant to say was, "Boom headshot".

[killerproninja]

Total bitch moment by "Ringo". 0.44. What he meant to say was, "I just shit myself please don't shoot me in the head."

[L3WIATAN]

"Say when." OMG i love Val Kilmer!

[theduke502]

4 people didn't have it in them. They played for blood instead, LOL!

[TrishaDishaWarEagle]

My hypocricy only goes so far.

Tom Mix wept

[droidchick]

Ahhh.... one of my favorite parts.. !!!!!!

[Charlielangford]

I LOVE THAT MAN
