The saddest part about Doc’s existence was that he only got TB from caring for his mother who died from it whilst pregnant with his sister. Nobody else would go near her to care for her. He contracted TB when he was in his early 20s, moved out to TX & AZ to attempt to prolong his life, died at 36. The price you pay for loving your family. But he respected Wyatt massively for still treating him as a person & a friend, even though anyone else would give him a wide birth and use words like “lunger” to define him, nobody would go near him because of his illness. Wyatt stayed with him for his entire life & was at his bedside even on his death bed. That’s true friendship.
And he alway thought there'd eventually be somebody faster than him with a gun & he'd die quickly instead of wasting away. He'd 'die with his boots on'. That's why he was amused when he saw his bare feet just before he died. A really sad story. 😢
@@JesusGarcia-cs9wl that was a real life issue as well as it was historical. The fallout occurred between the two was the result of Josephine's involvement and Doc called Wyatt a Jew because of that.
@@CJmidnightreactions I've read somewhere, that at the end when Val Kilmer, was lying in his Bed, Val was lying on ice to appear like he had fever and feeling that Cold.
Yeah but if you look at it who he was going up against that year it's understandable. Lots of legendary movies and actors what's up for the Oscars that year
Among all the quotable lines in this movie my favourite is when they kick in the door and one says "don't move!" and Doc says "Nonsense by all means move"
That's a good line, but doc had so much better to quote. "You're too drunk to shoot me, probably seeing double." "Well, I got two guns. One for each of ya!" Val killed that role
There are a lot of great quotes/lines in this movie. But my favorite is “There’s no normal life Wyatt, just life”. Which to me means we all got to write our own book. And that speaks to me.
For another great western-one that a lot of people missed-try "Open Range," from 2003, with Kevin Costner, Robert Duvall, and Annette Bening. when it first came out it just kind of fell through the cracks and got overlooked by a lot of people, but it's a great film that deserves to be seen. (Anytime you have a western with Robert Duvall in it, you've already won.)
I love this reaction video. I got to meet Michael Beihn (Johnny Ringo). i got to tell him about my dad in court once he was asked by the lawyer, "Is the rumor of you retiring true?" My dad said. "Not me... I'm in my Prime."
The dude that plays Johnny Ringo, his real name is Michael Biehn. He is in the first Terminator movie. He is John Conner's father. Crazy, right? Anyway, Val Kilmer, who plays Doc Holliday, is absolutely amazing in this movie. He also played Iceman in the original Top Gun. Also, RIP Bill Paxton (Morgan). Great film, great actors, great reaction!!!
They had Opium Dens in those days. Since it was a mining town, morphine and opium was used for pain and people got addicted. Maddie was addicted to Morphine.
@@CJmidnightreactions I don’t know if you’re aware of it or not but that was Billy Bob Thorton getting smacked by Kurt Russell in that scene. Apparently he lost some wait after doing this film.
This was the most accurate portrayal of the story of what happened at the OK Coral. It only lasted for 30 Sec, but started the war between the outlaws and Wyatt Earp. Val Kilmer was amazing. He studied the real Doc Holidays accent, demeanor and made sure he got it down. All of the main characters were real. I don’t think the actual shootout at the end was on a river. It was in a canyon. Once again a great movie because they all studied the real clothing, the real town atmosphere and Val Kilmer was so amazing as Doc Holiday. He should have won an award! He did win an award from all people. He made it an Iconic movie.
_How on Earth_ would Val Kilmer have studied Doc Holliday's accent and demeanor? I love the performance, but it is no way based on "studying his demeanor" because _there are no recordings of his accent and demeanor._ They didn't exactly have video cameras or smartphones in 1880s Tombstone.
38:20 the part where Wyatt goes out and starts shooting from out in the open and not getting hit actually happened from the best we can know. People that were there from both sides of the conflict related the story. Most of the time something like that is hollywood making things unreal for the sake of the drama, but in this case, it seems to be historical.
This was the Gunfight at Iron Springs. It is mostly true except there is no record of it being a "Cowboy" ambush. Wyatt and Crew rode up hard and fast and started blasting catching them somewhat off guard. Brocius was killed and fired a 10 gauge at about 50 ft and missed. Wyatt fired a 10 gauge back and did not miss. After this fight Wyatt had bullet holes in his overcoat and in his boot heel but totally unscathed. At the OK Corral fight everyone else was wounded (Virgil, Morgan, and Doc) but Wyatt was not even grazed.
I’m 46 years old and I remember going to see Tombstone in the theater when it came out. It’s my favorite movie ever. Val Kilmer should have won an Oscar for his performance. It was incredible. I have a few original set photos from the filming and when I lived in LA years later I got them autographed by Val and Kurt.
Wyatt Earp was one of those FEW western legends that lived long enough to see his story recorded on the screen. As an aside. When Wyatt was living in Los Angeles in the 1920s he was the tech advisor on a silent movie about the gunfight. He met a young 20 something stage hand named Marion Morrison. Marion was going to college at USC on a football scholarship. He was working on the set of the silent movie to make some extra buck during term recess. Wyatt sat around for hours talking to this young man about the old days in the west. Marion Morrison was the REAL name of John Wayne.
No Doc comment how funny before dying. Is because most gunslingers all believed they'd die with there boots on. In A gunfight. Which was a popular term in Wild West days. There's even A old classic western movie called they died with there boots on.
Not a single round fired at him ever even scratched Wyatt Earp......one of history's unbelievable facts. Never even scratched. God was watching over that dude lol.
It's like you were born to react bruh. Every movie you're on point. You don't need to pause, you know just what to say. You know how to make the movie better and more impactful. Props.

@@bijoucassell4587well always been told I was funny dude with some dark humor with it. I’m going to push this YT and see where it goes. A second career in entertainment would be nicer than my first career with Uncle Sam . lol. As long as I’m having fun.
Supposedly John Wayne, who met Wyatt early in his acting career, based his walk, demeanor, and speech patterns after Wyatt Earp. Whether that’s true or just Hollywood lore, I don’t know but it makes for a good story. The man famous for playing tough western men emulating a real and famous western man. If it is true then all one has to do is watch a John Wayne movie to get a sense of Wyatt Earp.
As the final notes indicate, Wyatt Earp lived through the beginning days of movies and consulted on some early western films (he even acted in at least one). W.S. Hart and Tom Mix (who wept) attended Wyatt's funeral and were western-genre movie superstars during that time. The OK Coral incident has been portrayed in many films, including the classic _My_ _Darling_ _Clementine_ (whose director, John Ford, was a friend of Wyatt's) and this _Tombstone_ version is right up there - though it is difficult to separate real details from the traditions which have grown up around the events.
Val Kilmer, the best portrail of Dr. John Holiday DDS. Would you believe Val Kilmer wasn't even nominated for the Oscar for playing Doc Holiday. There was a lot of old time movie cowboys in this movie, Harry Carey Jr, Red West (Elvis' bodyguard, Memphis Mafia), Charlton Heston and Robert Mitchum (the narrator) plus a few others.
I suggest you visit Tombstone, Arizona and the OK Corral, the famous scene from history. They re-enact the gunfight and explain what really happened. They have historically kept much of the town accurate, like the wooden boardwalk with signs designating famous gunfights, The Bird Cage Saloon, and Boot Hill, the famous cemetery. One tombstone carries the message: "Here lies Lester Moore, 4 shots from a 44, No less, no more." It's a great historic attraction.
There are Doc Holiday audio recordings posted on RUclips. Then watch Tombstone again and compare it to Val's accent. 'So good!There are audio and camera clips on Wyatt Erp too.
First time visit to your channel. I like to watch reaction videos and thought you watching Tombstone was a good choice. If you want to react to Westerns, the top of the list for most people is "The man with no name" series, consisting of Fist Full of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good the Bad, and the Ugly. All star a young Clint Eastwood. Another good western more modern is "True Grit." Also, consider watching "The Sister's Brothers". Both of these are more modern. Then there are MODERN MODERN westerns. Movies in the contemporary, but based on a western theme. "No country for Old Men," and "Hell or High Water".
The "I'll be damned. This is funny." line from Doc were his reported last words in life. He always thought he'd die with his boots on, go out in a blaze of glory in a gunfight, so the darkly humorous irony of him slowly dying in a bed without his boots wasn't lost on him. The movie kept the sardonic sense of humor he had in real life right to the end.
Great reaction on the most quoted movie of all time. Early in the story Doc said he'd die with his boots on. When he saw his bare feet it made him chuckle. Try Magnificent Seven with Denzel
My favorite Doc line is so underrated. It’s the most gangster line in the movie to me. He squares off with Johnny Ringo in the street and Johnny gets pulled back from the gun fight and Doc stretches his arms out like it’s just another day in Tombstone and says, “Barber, proceed sir.”
I highly recommend reading up more on the true story of Wyatt, his brothers, and the Cochise County Cowboys. The movie portrays some of the events accurately, but certainly not all of them, and the real story is just as fascinating, even if it's not nearly as black and white, good and evil. Wyatt, for example, was not Mr. Law Abiding Citizen, being into some shady dealings himself, and he most certainly did not swear off being a lawman. There was good money in it, and he ran for the office several times. One of the most interesting things is what actually happened with Curly Bill and Fred White. The real Fred White was a much younger man, but was well-liked in town. When he confronted Curly Bill in the street that night, Bill was likely drunk, not high, and when he shot Fred it appeared to truly be an accident. The case was dismissed by Judge Spicer not because there were no witnesses, but because Bill said it was an accident, Fred said it was an accident (he did not die immediately, lingering for several days and being able to testify in court), and, rather hilariously, WYATT said it was an accident. He had witnessed the shooting itself in real life. Bill repaid Wyatt testifying on his behalf by escalating the feud between them. Nice, Bill. The movie is particularly harsh toward poor Kate, Doc's girl, who left him BECAUSE he wouldn't give up his reckless life, and she was sick of watching him kill himself. When he wound up bed-ridden, she came back to nurse him in his final days. Good woman. The gunfight at the OK Corral is quite accurate, though. The filmmakers tried to base as much of it as they could off eyewitness accounts. The two main differences were that Ike Clanton just bailed after Wyatt told him to scram. He didn't hop into the photo studio and start shooting at them. Also, Doc was shot during the real fight, with only Wyatt escaping unharmed. The brothers and Doc were charged with murder following the shootout, though, and the town was quite split on who was at fault. Judge Spicer found them not guilty because of Wyatt letting Ike go, reasoning that if they had been there just to kill the Cowboys, he wouldn't have done that, he just would have gunned him down.
Some good westerns to check out are Open Range, Broken Trail, and the 2010 remake of a John Wayne Western True Grit. And do yourself a favor and react to some John Wayne movies like Edoardo and Rio Bravo.
Thanks. I needed some western recommendations for sure. I’ll check them out. If you haven’t seen, They called me Trinity. I uploaded that reaction a few days ago
And in real life Curly Bill got off on the murder charge by the testimony of two men. One was Fred White himself (who died two days after the event), The other was Wyatt Earp (who quickly pistol whipped Brocius after the gun went off). Wyatt Earp testified during the trial that he believed it was an accident because he actually witnessed the incident. On the Stand he showed how Curly Bill's gun could actually fire at a half-cock on accident (which is what Brocius himself said happened). This is funny because of the immense hatred they would have for each other later.
FunFact:The quote “I’m your huckleberry” is actually “huckle-bearer”, huckle is an old word which is used for the “handle” on the side of the coffin. Meaning he”d carry you to the grave.
@nicksterj you can literally hear him say it. Its in the movie. I wont argue with you. You are ignoring facts and I can’t argue with someone soo ignorant
Yup and people were still using that expression in the 1960’s 70’s saying you’re game to do something. Not even in a bad way. Got nothing to do with caskets.
Not sure if you saw The Unforgiven with Clint Eastward, it is a must see. But what is interesting about these two movies is that "Cowboys" are evil thugs and gang members. In the old Westerns "Cowboys" were the good guys. Mostly fighting Native Americans which Hollywood portrayed as ruthless savages, since things were crazy racist back in those days. And even when cowboys fought each other, there were good ones and bad ones. The good cowboys mostly wearing white hats and the bad ones wearing black hats. Glad we evolved from those simplistic, racist times. I guess in modern Westerns, Cowboys are just violent thugs.
I grew upnwhere Morgan is buried in Colton. The Earp's parents lived there. His grave is respectfully kept clean. Tombstone is an amazing town. Tons of stories of old massacres and how society was. And ghost tours.
@@CJmidnightreactions I can highly recommend the ghost tour of the bird cage theater, they have a self guided tour during the day but at night they do guided ghost tours and even if you aren't in it for the "ghost tour" part, having a guide point put little historical facts and details of the place as you walk around is the far superior version of the tour.
You might want to check out the script. And you might also want to check out what Val Kilmer wrote about that Bearer nonsense. He wrote about it in his book which is titled I'm Your Huckleberry
Nice reaction to an amazing movie. The actual line that Doc Holiday says is "I'm your huckle bearer" which was a funeral position in those days. To be someone's huckle bearer means to carry someone's coffin to the grave.
I see you got fooled by the meme. Actually, none of that is true. "Huckle" never ever meant "casket handle". "Huckle bearer" did not ever exist...it's made up. You can only find it on the internet. It's not in a single piece of literature, book/newspaper/letter/encyclopedia/sign/dictionary, etc. It is totally fabricated, only exists on the internet. Regardless of all that, we do know for an absolute fact that he said "I'm your huckleberry". Val Kilmer himself has confirmed that, plus it's in the script, in the novelization of the movie, and in the subtitles of every single official version ever released. It's also in the 1920's book "Tombstone: An Iliad of the Southwest", in which Doc tells Ringo "I'm your huckleberry. That's just my game", like he does in the movie.
"By the way, despite some fans’ contention that in the 1800s the handles of caskets were called huckles and thus the word huckle bearer was a term for pall bearer, I do not say “I’m your huckle bearer.” I say, “I’m your huckleberry,” connotating “I’m your man. You’ve met your match." Val Kilmer
I like your reaction & movie choices! So I just just subbed! 😊 I was born and raised in Dodge City, Kansas & a certified History teacher (retired) so I am VERY familiar with ALL of these historical characters! In fact, Wyatt Earp lived long enough that he visited many western movie sets early on! Tom Mix was a good friend of Wyatt's and based many of his movie characters on Earp legends. 😊 How about one I've never seen reacted to - Real Genius! It's very early Val Kilmer (Doc Holliday in this movie) back when Val, John Travolta & Kevin Bacon were starving young actors/dancers, living together and trying to get a break! Another young Val movie would be a spy spoof called Top Secret! Both movies are comedies but very different! And no one ever reacts to them! ❤
Since the movie has spurred your interest in finding out what really happened, an easy way to begin to figure out what was true and what was Hollywood fiction is to watch Kevin Costner's version of the story in the movie WYATT EARP which came out the same year. In doing that you can be fairly certain that if some event is depicted in both movies that it is likely also found in the historical record. The accuracy the historical record is another matter and will require more research. But watching both movies is a great way to start. As to TOMBSTONE, it has become the more popular of the two since it features Val Kilmer's phenomenal performance as Doc Holiday. But WYATT EARP is pretty good, too, and worth a look. It goes into, though, more of who Wyatt Earp really was which you should enjoy if you are into back stories. Plus I don't think any of your competitors have done it yet So you would be getting a jump on them in reacting to it.
I might know two reasons why. I just checked out the movie. It’s over 3 hours and wasn’t as popular than Tombstone. But I’m not the normal reactor. Have to keep this one in mind. Thanks for the comment and info.
@@CJmidnightreactions It is well worth watching though, even if you don't do a reaction to it (and for the reasons I mentioned). As to its length and popularity (or lack thereof). It really depends on how interesting you find the subject matter. Having just seen TOMBSTONE, my guess is you are interested in learning more. And WYATT EARP will definitely give it to you. But it will also help you weed out fact from fiction. But all I can offer you is my own experience on the matter. So here it is. I personally rented both movies, when they first came out to BLOCKBUSTER. And I watching them back to back. In so doing I found them both to be fascinating, that they complemented each other quite well. Val Kilmer's performance was incomparable. But after that all the others in both movies are equally good.
Oh man, looking forward to watch your reaction tomorrow. What a great movie. Kurt Russell has a lot of fantastic movies. "Breakdown", "Executive Decision" and "Soldier" are some great ones with only few if any reactions.
So many epic scenes and lines in this movie it's almost ridiculous. Btw, I've seen this a million times and at the end is a Mandela Effect. Doc said "I'll be your Huckleberry", not I'm your Huckleberry. It's one of those lines in movies we repeat a lot. I'm not sure when it changed but I KNOW the current line is not correct.
Wyatt wasn't just a lawman, he was a gambler and a pimp, he had a sister-in-law ( there were 4 brothers) that was a madame, Maddie and Wyatt called themselves common law married , she was not his wife but one of his "girls"
11:15 I believe Doc doesn’t shake the Sheriff’s hand because he doesn’t like “The Law” but right before you see him shake Wyatt and Virgil’s hand, which shows how much he respected them
That cup scene exactly mimicking Ringos gun handling showed Johnny Ringo just how deadly Doc Holiday was. And Ringo knew then Doc was someone to respect his hand 2 eye coordination to be A worthy and deadlier opponent.
Good seeing you do a western, if you're looking to do a few more I highly recommend 3:10 To Yuma (the remake with Christian Bale) Dances With Wolves and Hostiles. Great reaction, new subscriber here. 😎👍💯🔥
Thanks for the sub. I actually did react to Dancing with Wolves a year ago. The editing is not the same. Have seen 3:10 to Yuma. Just looked it up. Thanks.
During Wyatt Earp's later years in Hollywood a certain young man studied the way he walked, talked and acted while on sets. Some years later that certain young man became a Hollywood legend..especially in westerns. The young man's name was Marion Morrison but he became known worldwide as John Wayne..or simply The Duke. Wyatt and Maddie weren't formally married. They were common law married. Wyatt met her when she was a prostitute after his wife died. He wasn't in any position to judge her at the time since he was a pimp at one time. Not sure if he was when they met but it's possible. They kept each other company and when Wyatt moved on Maddie just went with him. After awhile people assumed they were married which suited Maddie and Wyatt just went along with it. Unfortunately Maddie was addicted to laudanum which now was basically opium (which was morphine and codeine) mixed with alcohol. It was available for purchase just about anywhere as a patent medicine and used for everything from cough to after surgery pain relief.
While this is by far one of the most accurate portrayals of the Earp/Cowboys feud, there were still many liberties taken for dramatization. Virgil and Morgan were not ambushed on the same night. Virgil was shot in December and Morgan was killed in March. When Curly Bill shot Marshal Fred White (who was only 31, not as old as film portrayed him,) White did not die immediately and claimed, before he died, the shooting was accidentally. No one really knows how Johnny Ringo died. He was found dead next to a tree without his boots or horse, a bullet wound in his head (it was declared a suicide.) And McMasters was not killed by the Cowboys and lived until 1892. There are other discrepancies, but this is still closer than most films about Wyatt Earp. The Kevin Costner film "Wyatt Earp" is also pretty accurate but much longer than "Tombstone."

Wyatt Earp was one of those FEW western legends that lived long enough to see his story recorded on the screen.
As an aside. When Wyatt was living in Los Angeles in the 1920s he was the tech advisor on a silent movie about the gunfight. He met a young 20 something stage hand named Marion Morrison. Marion was going to college at USC on a football scholarship. He was working on the set of the silent movie to make some extra buck during term recess. Wyatt sat around for hours talking to this young man about the old days in the west.
Marion Morrison was the REAL name of John Wayne.
This is a modern western classic. Its a fun retelling of the real life events of the Earp brothers VS the outlaw Cowboys
No Doc comment how funny before dying. Is because most gunslingers all believed they'd die with there boots on. In A gunfight.
Which was a popular term in Wild West days. There's even A old classic western movie called they died with there boots on.
Not a single round fired at him ever even scratched Wyatt Earp......one of history's unbelievable facts. Never even scratched. God was watching over that dude lol.
Mattie was adicted to Laudnum (A mixture of Opium and alcohol)
It's like you were born to react bruh. Every movie you're on point. You don't need to pause, you know just what to say. You know how to make the movie better and more impactful. Props.
Thanks for the luv. I’m just being myself and try to keep everyone entertained. Just having fun
@@CJmidnightreactions Don't sell yourself short my guy. You seem fsmous even if you're not. Something about you. Audition for some parts. You might not be living in the right area but I'm a film major. If you auditioned in front of me in austin you'd get a lead part. You're cool as fuck. :)
@@CJmidnightreactions I talk mad shit to everyone online., i'm a professional troll. Trust me. You were born to be on camera.
@@bijoucassell4587well always been told I was funny dude with some dark humor with it. I’m going to push this YT and see where it goes. A second career in entertainment would be nicer than my first career with Uncle Sam . lol. As long as I’m having fun.
Great job here! This was fun to watch! Imagine this with all the amenities we have now and citizens dressed better in the 1800's LOL
Thanks Uncle-Charlie. Your right about the dressing. LOL
@@CJmidnightreactions 👍🏻👍🏻
Supposedly John Wayne, who met Wyatt early in his acting career, based his walk, demeanor, and speech patterns after Wyatt Earp. Whether that’s true or just Hollywood lore, I don’t know but it makes for a good story. The man famous for playing tough western men emulating a real and famous western man. If it is true then all one has to do is watch a John Wayne movie to get a sense of Wyatt Earp.
Appreciate your reaction. Subbed.
As the final notes indicate, Wyatt Earp lived through the beginning days of movies and consulted on some early western films (he even acted in at least one). W.S. Hart and Tom Mix (who wept) attended Wyatt's funeral and were western-genre movie superstars during that time. The OK Coral incident has been portrayed in many films, including the classic _My_ _Darling_ _Clementine_ (whose director, John Ford, was a friend of Wyatt's) and this _Tombstone_ version is right up there - though it is difficult to separate real details from the traditions which have grown up around the events.
Val Kilmer, the best portrail of Dr. John Holiday DDS. Would you believe Val Kilmer wasn't even nominated for the Oscar for playing Doc Holiday. There was a lot of old time movie cowboys in this movie, Harry Carey Jr, Red West (Elvis' bodyguard, Memphis Mafia), Charlton Heston and Robert Mitchum (the narrator) plus a few others.
Tombstone was really good .Unforgiven won some Oscar's the film was made just before Tombstone like 1992 if memory serves.
I suggest you visit Tombstone, Arizona and the OK Corral, the famous scene from history. They re-enact the gunfight and explain what really happened. They have historically kept much of the town accurate, like the wooden boardwalk with signs designating famous gunfights, The Bird Cage Saloon, and Boot Hill, the famous cemetery. One tombstone carries the message: "Here lies Lester Moore, 4 shots from a 44, No less, no more." It's a great historic attraction.
Doc said I be damned at the end because he died with his boots off at the beginning he said I want to die with my boots on
There are two movies I saw every weekend during their theatrical run.
This and The Crow.
When you run your horses near dead, all you can do is have a picnic. Am I wrong?
There are Doc Holiday audio recordings posted on RUclips. Then watch Tombstone again and compare it to Val's accent. 'So good!There are audio and camera clips on Wyatt Erp too.
First time visit to your channel. I like to watch reaction videos and thought you watching Tombstone was a good choice.
If you want to react to Westerns, the top of the list for most people is "The man with no name" series, consisting of Fist Full of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good the Bad, and the Ugly. All star a young Clint Eastwood.
Another good western more modern is "True Grit." Also, consider watching "The Sister's Brothers". Both of these are more modern.
Then there are MODERN MODERN westerns. Movies in the contemporary, but based on a western theme. "No country for Old Men," and "Hell or High Water".
Excellent, thanks for the suggestion. I'm working on a polling now. I can't wait to check out some more Westerns. N
The "I'll be damned. This is funny." line from Doc were his reported last words in life. He always thought he'd die with his boots on, go out in a blaze of glory in a gunfight, so the darkly humorous irony of him slowly dying in a bed without his boots wasn't lost on him. The movie kept the sardonic sense of humor he had in real life right to the end.
"I'll fight you right now!" and gets pistol whipped.... I love that scene!
“I’ll fight you right now”
“Thems fightin words”
Great reaction on the most quoted movie of all time.
Early in the story Doc said he'd die with his boots on. When he saw his bare feet it made him chuckle.
Try Magnificent Seven with Denzel
A fan of western so this is on my list of favorites. Bravo on the review 👏❤️
My favorite Doc line is so underrated. It’s the most gangster line in the movie to me. He squares off with Johnny Ringo in the street and Johnny gets pulled back from the gun fight and Doc stretches his arms out like it’s just another day in Tombstone and says, “Barber, proceed sir.”
Doc expressway to die with his boots on, when he went out barefooted he found that funny.
9:06 it's hard to believe that's Billy Bob Thornton! Also, if you are thinking about westerns, you gotta check out Young Guns!
I was told that was a young Billy Bob Thornton. It totally surprised me.
Eyyy ohh!! 👊 Looks like this one is still in the algorithm flow 😂. It’s a classic!
We'll see how it goes brother. Everyone is loving it.
It's a good reaction to this classic. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed the reaction. More westerns ahead for reaction and polling
He wasn’t seeing a light it was his bare feet. Maddie wasn’t really his wife not by the cloth that is.
I highly recommend reading up more on the true story of Wyatt, his brothers, and the Cochise County Cowboys. The movie portrays some of the events accurately, but certainly not all of them, and the real story is just as fascinating, even if it's not nearly as black and white, good and evil. Wyatt, for example, was not Mr. Law Abiding Citizen, being into some shady dealings himself, and he most certainly did not swear off being a lawman. There was good money in it, and he ran for the office several times.
One of the most interesting things is what actually happened with Curly Bill and Fred White. The real Fred White was a much younger man, but was well-liked in town. When he confronted Curly Bill in the street that night, Bill was likely drunk, not high, and when he shot Fred it appeared to truly be an accident. The case was dismissed by Judge Spicer not because there were no witnesses, but because Bill said it was an accident, Fred said it was an accident (he did not die immediately, lingering for several days and being able to testify in court), and, rather hilariously, WYATT said it was an accident. He had witnessed the shooting itself in real life. Bill repaid Wyatt testifying on his behalf by escalating the feud between them. Nice, Bill.
The movie is particularly harsh toward poor Kate, Doc's girl, who left him BECAUSE he wouldn't give up his reckless life, and she was sick of watching him kill himself. When he wound up bed-ridden, she came back to nurse him in his final days. Good woman.
The gunfight at the OK Corral is quite accurate, though. The filmmakers tried to base as much of it as they could off eyewitness accounts. The two main differences were that Ike Clanton just bailed after Wyatt told him to scram. He didn't hop into the photo studio and start shooting at them. Also, Doc was shot during the real fight, with only Wyatt escaping unharmed. The brothers and Doc were charged with murder following the shootout, though, and the town was quite split on who was at fault. Judge Spicer found them not guilty because of Wyatt letting Ike go, reasoning that if they had been there just to kill the Cowboys, he wouldn't have done that, he just would have gunned him down.
Some good westerns to check out are Open Range, Broken Trail, and the 2010 remake of a John Wayne Western True Grit. And do yourself a favor and react to some John Wayne movies like Edoardo and Rio Bravo.
Thanks. I needed some western recommendations for sure. I’ll check them out. If you haven’t seen, They called me Trinity. I uploaded that reaction a few days ago
In real life, there is debate among the historians whether Curly Bill meant to kill Fred White or if he fumbled his gun by mistake.
Fred White said himself it was an accident. He lived for a few hours.
And in real life Curly Bill got off on the murder charge by the testimony of two men. One was Fred White himself (who died two days after the event), The other was Wyatt Earp (who quickly pistol whipped Brocius after the gun went off). Wyatt Earp testified during the trial that he believed it was an accident because he actually witnessed the incident. On the Stand he showed how Curly Bill's gun could actually fire at a half-cock on accident (which is what Brocius himself said happened). This is funny because of the immense hatred they would have for each other later.
when he slapped the bartender😂
hell yea you seen my face 😂
FunFact:The quote “I’m your huckleberry” is actually “huckle-bearer”, huckle is an old word which is used for the “handle” on the side of the coffin. Meaning he”d carry you to the grave.
@nicksterj you can hear doc say hucklebearer. Go back and listen to it. He doesn’t say “huckleberry”
@nicksterj you can literally hear him say it. Its in the movie. I wont argue with you. You are ignoring facts and I can’t argue with someone soo ignorant
@nicksterj you have your opinions I have my ears. We will not see eye to eye and as I said before I will not argue with you.
@nicksterj listen to the part at the end after he fakes being sick and meets the guy for the duel. Anyways. Fun Fact
Yup and people were still using that expression in the 1960’s 70’s saying you’re game to do something. Not even in a bad way. Got nothing to do with caskets.
Not sure if you saw The Unforgiven with Clint Eastward, it is a must see. But what is interesting about these two movies is that "Cowboys" are evil thugs and gang members. In the old Westerns "Cowboys" were the good guys. Mostly fighting Native Americans which Hollywood portrayed as ruthless savages, since things were crazy racist back in those days. And even when cowboys fought each other, there were good ones and bad ones. The good cowboys mostly wearing white hats and the bad ones wearing black hats. Glad we evolved from those simplistic, racist times. I guess in modern Westerns, Cowboys are just violent thugs.
I think Doc said "this is funny" before he died because he was looking at his feet and he always thought he would "die with his boots on"(fighting)
That would have been a G way to go
@@CJmidnightreactionswasn’t a man alive at that time could kill bruh; Disease had to do it 😂💪🏿💪🏿😂😂
@1:33 The inspiration for Red Dead Redemption location and character Javier Escuela.
Laudemen Maddie was addicted. Also she was Wyatt common law wife.
good reaction
thanks for the comment. glad you enjoyed the reaction
I grew upnwhere Morgan is buried in Colton. The Earp's parents lived there. His grave is respectfully kept clean. Tombstone is an amazing town. Tons of stories of old massacres and how society was. And ghost tours.
Ghost Tours ! Oh i'm going have to look into visiting. I would love to the tour. Thanks brother and most of all, thanks for coming by the channel
@@CJmidnightreactions I can highly recommend the ghost tour of the bird cage theater, they have a self guided tour during the day but at night they do guided ghost tours and even if you aren't in it for the "ghost tour" part, having a guide point put little historical facts and details of the place as you walk around is the far superior version of the tour.
21:39, Earp brothers in action.
Check out "The outlaw Josey Wales".
One of the best westerns ever made. Imho 😂
Everyone says Huckleberry but it's Huckle Bearer
You might want to check out the script. And you might also want to check out what Val Kilmer wrote about that Bearer nonsense. He wrote about it in his book which is titled I'm Your Huckleberry
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
True Grit
Django Unchained
I've seen Django Unchanied. I love that movie. The others two I haven't seen. Be on the look out for the polling.
Doc's last words ("This is funny") were in reference to his bare feet. He had spent years expecting to die with his boots on.
Outlaw Josey Wales
Thanks for coming by the channel. Glad you enjoyed the reaction.
I recommend you Watch A Will Smith Movie It called Wild Wild West. The Film is Basically A combination of Steampunk Futurism with The Wild West.
Nice reaction to an amazing movie. The actual line that Doc Holiday says is "I'm your huckle bearer" which was a funeral position in those days. To be someone's huckle bearer means to carry someone's coffin to the grave.
I see you got fooled by the meme. Actually, none of that is true. "Huckle" never ever meant "casket handle". "Huckle bearer" did not ever exist...it's made up. You can only find it on the internet. It's not in a single piece of literature, book/newspaper/letter/encyclopedia/sign/dictionary, etc. It is totally fabricated, only exists on the internet.
Regardless of all that, we do know for an absolute fact that he said "I'm your huckleberry". Val Kilmer himself has confirmed that, plus it's in the script, in the novelization of the movie, and in the subtitles of every single official version ever released. It's also in the 1920's book "Tombstone: An Iliad of the Southwest", in which Doc tells Ringo "I'm your huckleberry. That's just my game", like he does in the movie.
This is completely false.
"By the way, despite some fans’ contention that in the 1800s the handles of caskets were called huckles and thus the word huckle bearer was a term for pall bearer, I do not say “I’m your huckle bearer.” I say, “I’m your huckleberry,” connotating “I’m your man. You’ve met your match."
Val Kilmer
No, it wasn't. "I'm your Huckleberry" was a term that was used meaning 'I'm your man' or 'You can count on me'.
I took me along time to understand what Wyatt ment when he says that's it over. He's telling them they're over. That they are all gonna die.
I like your reaction & movie choices! So I just
just subbed! 😊 I was born and raised in Dodge City, Kansas & a certified History teacher (retired) so I am VERY familiar with ALL of these historical characters! In fact, Wyatt Earp lived long enough that he visited many western movie sets early on! Tom Mix was a good friend of Wyatt's and based many of his movie characters on Earp legends. 😊
How about one I've never seen reacted to - Real Genius! It's very early Val Kilmer (Doc Holliday in this movie) back when Val, John Travolta & Kevin Bacon were starving young actors/dancers, living together and trying to get a break! Another young Val movie would be a spy spoof called Top Secret! Both movies are comedies but very different! And no one ever reacts to them! ❤
Since the movie has spurred your interest in finding out what really happened, an easy way to begin to figure out what was true and what was Hollywood fiction is to watch Kevin Costner's version of the story in the movie WYATT EARP which came out the same year. In doing that you can be fairly certain that if some event is depicted in both movies that it is likely also found in the historical record. The accuracy the historical record is another matter and will require more research. But watching both movies is a great way to start.
As to TOMBSTONE, it has become the more popular of the two since it features Val Kilmer's phenomenal performance as Doc Holiday. But WYATT EARP is pretty good, too, and worth a look. It goes into, though, more of who Wyatt Earp really was which you should enjoy if you are into back stories. Plus I don't think any of your competitors have done it yet So you would be getting a jump on them in reacting to it.
I might know two reasons why. I just checked out the movie. It’s over 3 hours and wasn’t as popular than Tombstone. But I’m not the normal reactor. Have to keep this one in mind. Thanks for the comment and info.
@@CJmidnightreactions It is well worth watching though, even if you don't do a reaction to it (and for the reasons I mentioned).
As to its length and popularity (or lack thereof). It really depends on how interesting you find the subject matter. Having just seen TOMBSTONE, my guess is you are interested in learning more. And WYATT EARP will definitely give it to you. But it will also help you weed out fact from fiction.
But all I can offer you is my own experience on the matter. So here it is. I personally rented both movies, when they first came out to BLOCKBUSTER. And I watching them back to back. In so doing I found them both to be fascinating, that they complemented each other quite well. Val Kilmer's performance was incomparable. But after that all the others in both movies are equally good.
Doc was that dude. He says we're playing for blood you better not forget
Doc was gangster
Oh man, looking forward to watch your reaction tomorrow. What a great movie. Kurt Russell has a lot of fantastic movies. "Breakdown", "Executive Decision" and "Soldier" are some great ones with only few if any reactions.
Thanks Alex. I know you’re ahead of me timezone wise. You got Patreon. The full reaction is there when your ready
Soldier is AWESOME.
So many epic scenes and lines in this movie it's almost ridiculous. Btw, I've seen this a million times and at the end is a Mandela Effect. Doc said "I'll be your Huckleberry", not I'm your Huckleberry. It's one of those lines in movies we repeat a lot. I'm not sure when it changed but I KNOW the current line is not correct.
Wyatt Earp was notorious of pistol-whipping people.
They took a few creative liberties, but the movie is still about 95% historically accurate.
And if you go to Tombstone today, all of the original buildings with bullet holes in them are still there. 😊
Billy was played by Virgil Earp's great grandson who was the main consultant for the film, so he is the main reason it is so accurate.
92.346%
Great movie!
Thanks for coming by the channel. Glad you enjoyed the reaction.
Wyatt wasn't just a lawman, he was a gambler and a pimp, he had a sister-in-law ( there were 4 brothers) that was a madame, Maddie and Wyatt called themselves common law married , she was not his wife but one of his "girls"
11:15 I believe Doc doesn’t shake the Sheriff’s hand because he doesn’t like “The Law” but right before you see him shake Wyatt and Virgil’s hand, which shows how much he respected them
React to the video History Buffs made about this movie. He goes through the historical accuracies of movies made from historical events.
Opening scene. Notice that stack of rifles. Viscious, cruel, and calculating where and when Bill stands
Check out stories on Billy the kid.
I’m your huckle bearer
Huckleberry. Like the script says
Great movie
That cup scene exactly mimicking Ringos gun handling showed Johnny Ringo just how deadly Doc Holiday was. And Ringo knew then Doc was someone to respect his hand 2 eye coordination to be A worthy and deadlier opponent.
One amazing western story plucked from history. Very well preformed it is my favorite western of all. So glad you reacted to it and enjoyed it.
Good seeing you do a western, if you're looking to do a few more I highly recommend 3:10 To Yuma (the remake with Christian Bale) Dances With Wolves and Hostiles. Great reaction, new subscriber here. 😎👍💯🔥
Thanks for the sub. I actually did react to Dancing with Wolves a year ago. The editing is not the same. Have seen 3:10 to Yuma. Just looked it up. Thanks.
@@CJmidnightreactions Alright, try Hostiles then, The Unforgiven or The Revenant. Ima' go see what you had to say about Dances With Wolves 😎
During Wyatt Earp's later years in Hollywood a certain young man studied the way he walked, talked and acted while on sets. Some years later that certain young man became a Hollywood legend..especially in westerns. The young man's name was Marion Morrison but he became known worldwide as John Wayne..or simply The Duke.
Wyatt and Maddie weren't formally married. They were common law married. Wyatt met her when she was a prostitute after his wife died. He wasn't in any position to judge her at the time since he was a pimp at one time. Not sure if he was when they met but it's possible. They kept each other company and when Wyatt moved on Maddie just went with him. After awhile people assumed they were married which suited Maddie and Wyatt just went along with it. Unfortunately Maddie was addicted to laudanum which now was basically opium (which was morphine and codeine) mixed with alcohol. It was available for purchase just about anywhere as a patent medicine and used for everything from cough to after surgery pain relief.
While this is by far one of the most accurate portrayals of the Earp/Cowboys feud, there were still many liberties taken for dramatization. Virgil and Morgan were not ambushed on the same night. Virgil was shot in December and Morgan was killed in March. When Curly Bill shot Marshal Fred White (who was only 31, not as old as film portrayed him,) White did not die immediately and claimed, before he died, the shooting was accidentally. No one really knows how Johnny Ringo died. He was found dead next to a tree without his boots or horse, a bullet wound in his head (it was declared a suicide.) And McMasters was not killed by the Cowboys and lived until 1892. There are other discrepancies, but this is still closer than most films about Wyatt Earp. The Kevin Costner film "Wyatt Earp" is also pretty accurate but much longer than "Tombstone."
