"I know- let's have a spelling contest!" One of the greatest lines ever, delivered by an actor who deserved an Oscar and was ROBBED because so many idiots were too frikkin' stupid to see what a spectacular job he did as Doc Holliday.
BlakeFerret the Oscars were in 1994 and Tombstone only awards it was nominated for were at MTV awards where Val Kilmer was nominated for Best Male Performance
Every time I see this movie or Val Kilmer in general I wonder the same fucking thing. His performance in this film is nothing short of fucking brilliant! I wish I could meet him if only to shake his hand and tell him I think he's a legend and deserves more recognition for this.
It is one of the greatest performances in the history of cinema. I thought he was a light-weight before seeing this movie. But not now, not even close.
Tony Conner Totally did nail it. His acting in this movie can be easily overlooked since he’s playing a dimwit outlaw. His acting of this character is outstanding.
I loved that Wyatt didn't feel the need to step in until Virgil got angry. He wasn't at all worried for Virgil's safety, Wyatt was worried that Virgil might kill ike
She just said he can go all day and night and then some that's why he gets to be her loving man don't keep a man who can't keep up with you so of course he's a winner.
The scene was further perfected with the fact he twirled the guns in each direction as well as continue holding his metal cup. It was something I never noticed in my viewings till somebody pointed it out
Taking nothing away from Kilmer’s performance as Holliday as he was simply brilliant, Lang’s masterful job with his role of Ike is simply the icing on the cake. His performance makes Kilmer’s that much better.
Tim Fowler I think you and I are the silent majority on that. I totally agree. Not that Val Kilmer didn't do a good job but I think Stephen Lang was better in his role.
Val's Doc is one of the greatest jobs in the history of American cinema. And this film is one of the greatest films ever made. The Wyatt Earp film that came out soon after was a joke.
He was amazing in the scenes he was in, it's true. I think you have to consider the relative amount of screen time as well, though; it's easy to look good for a few scenes, and Lang has three or four, but when you're in practically half the movie (as Val Kilmer was) it gets harder to be consistent.
"nonsense I have not yet begun to defile myself." Doc you've been drinking for two days straight and it helps with the coughing but come on drown yourself in Kate for a while
Ike is the most cowardly cowboy i have even seen. He is essentially spared four times by wyatt in the movie if you count the first time when he tries to free his buddy when he kills the sheriff.
The only bad part of the movie was when they let him go free. Why? He tried to shoot at Doc and Wyatt at the OK Corral when he fell into that building. And then he tried to assassinate Virgil.
Matt Smith because in real life, Ike never did that, he ran from the ok corral after running into Wyatt. He also escaped when Wyatt or doc killed frank Stilwell, that’s why they show him being spared in the movie, the events in real life were different
I like all these subtleties in the script. Doc humiliates a cowboy for being illiterate in here, later on confesses to hate another one for letting his education all hang out.
Thanks Vidspot this is exactly the scene I was looking for. My friends and I crack up on Ike every time. We actually coined a term amongst ourselves called getting "Iked". When you back down after someone raises up to you, a la 2:49.
". . .don't you ever put your hands on me, see? Don't you ever try to man-handle a cowboy, cause we'll cut your fu^#ing pimps heart out!" - LMAO everytime I see this part.
To be fair, he was totally wasted. Now I'm not sure if you've ever been wasted before (I haven't) but it's pretty easy to get knocked out, and it doesn't even take much force.
Yes, it was. I have a theory as to why they kept it - - the entire scene leading to that was lengthy and so well executed, they just kept it rather than taking a chance and re-shooting? My theory anyway.
+Jim Loftus Exactly. They always shoot scenes multiple times anyway. The director and editor mostly likely felt this was the strongest take and didn't want to sacrifice the whole performance for the sake of having a better pistol whip.
"Don't take no mouth from no bartenders neither....see what i'm sayin'...rap somebody on the beezer or get some respect around here.." The b*tch slap and that line had me ROLLING on the floor the 1st time I watched this movie...LoLL!
I think he's everybody's favorite. He's the most intelligent, witty, best gunfighter who's always drinking. Most badass character in the movie. What's not to like about him?
Notice how when Vigil bumps the table and the bottle falls and starts to roll. The other actor had presence of mind to grab the bottle before it fell on the floor. He probably saved the scene.
Galactic Beats cuz he had the rest of the Clanton & McLaury faction to back him up, was reported to actually be a nice guy & was good friends with Johnny Behan
Galactic Beats yep. also historically speaking half the town of Tombstone was divided in support of them or the Earps but almost everyone didn't like Doc which is a such an interesting guy but the constant drinking, picking fights & tuberculosis made it hard to see the respectable southern gentleman of a dentist underneath
@jsbeard18 I totally agree! Val Kilmer´s acting in this masterpiece stands firmly alongside (if not beyond) Heath Ledger´s interpretation of The Joker/any of Johnny Depps various characters through the last few years. 3 talented actors, alas 1 hasn´t been renowned for his profound qualities in my opinion. I lift my hat for the Doc!
Where's the fucking LOVE button when you need it? For ""like"" just doesn't really cut it, doesn't really begin to describe or convey how much I GREATLY ENJOY watching this very special and FUCKING HILARIOUS SCENE. A bit goofy and silly, yes, YET FUCKING BEAUTIFUL nonetheless! Stephen Lang nailed it, and nailed it seamlessly, amazingly, and even supernaturally, while Val Kilmer gave the performance of the 90's. For with the exception of this scene, and maybe two others, Val stole every scene that he was in, brilliantly and flawlessly, in a sense bringing Doc Holliday himself back to life. This seemingly sublime and astonishing exhumation. Love it. FUCKING LOVE IT!!!
Did you see "Public Enemies"? He's got only two real scenes in the whole movie, but he brings such a presence to them that they're a joy to watch. The guy is just great.
The movie doesn't only hints at the Earps' backstory, but Ike wasn't just calling them names. They actually were pimps. They'd operated many businesses over the years, including brothels.
A classic from beginning to end...and it’s for that reason that I wish the director has retaken the final moment of this scene cuz that pistol club was clearly a miss and yet Ike dropped like a rock like he’d been knocked out cold.
He may have been an entertaining character, but he was a worthless coward whose mouth always stirred up shit that he just couldn’t handle unless Curly Bill and Ringo were around lol
@@uome20bukz Of the Clantons and McLaurys, Ike was more deeply involved with the Cowboys, Billy I don't know much about, but I've gotten the sense that the McLaurys were not full-fledged outlaws but instead had a business relationship with the Cowboys as many of the small ranchers in the area did and even though they had previously clashed with the Earps, they were caught in the middle of the conflict between Ike Clanton, the Earps and Doc Holliday.
This movie became a staple around my town because people had seen it as kids in Middle School when we got the high school people literally we're being called Ike whenever they did anything Too Faced or cowardly "brian? Who? Ike clanton?" 😂😂
I love the line from the video title, but one of my other favorite lines is at 1:05, when Earp asks, "Doc, been hittin' it pretty hard, haven't you?" and Doc replies, "Nonsense, I've not yet begun to defile myself..."

You Sir, are a genius!
You tell the erbs that I see them in the streets with doc holiday I'ma send them to hell in a shutter
He wasn't even nominated for the role, so "robbed" doesn't apply.
It was in 1993, why do u care? It's still a good movie.
BlakeFerret the Oscars were in 1994 and Tombstone only awards it was nominated for were at MTV awards where Val Kilmer was nominated for Best Male Performance
"Lovin' Man." You been called." I just love this film. So many classic lines.
Stephen Lang as Ike is epic. He’s a really great actor.
Ike doesnt take no mouth from no bartenders either 😂🤣💀
"Why Ike, whatever do you mean?" 😂
" Take it easy boys."
"it seems poker just isn't your game Ike. I know...let's have a spelling contest."

Love that pure troll expression on Docs face when he says let's have a spelling contest 😂
And the expression before with, "Ike whatever do you mean" was as calm and serious as anything. To go from one to the other is amazing.
virgils mustache shouldve won an oscar
haha
This movie should have introduced the Oscar-for-the-best-mustache category, period.
Maybe
Best supporting
We all know who should have one the oscar for his performance, even nominated! Buttfuckers

He would agree and tell you he was great
I got jobbed for an academy award. At least best supporting actor.
Stephen Lang nailed this role as
Ike Clanton.....
So much talent in this movie lol...
Tony Conner Totally did nail it. His acting in this movie can be easily overlooked since he’s playing a dimwit outlaw. His acting of this character is outstanding.
GET YOUR God Damn Pimp hands off...... Don't you ever put your hands on a cowboy
Yea man he's awesome. I always said he should have been Cable in Deadpool 2. Everyone is this movie is fantastic.
Babe Ruth, Stonewall Jackson, Maj Gen George E. Pickett, Ike Clanton, Colonel Miles Quaritch...
Quality scene. Stephen Lang as Ike Clanton is brilliant in the entire movie. He makes you sympathize and yet feel disgusted with him at the same time.
I loved that Wyatt didn't feel the need to step in until Virgil got angry. He wasn't at all worried for Virgil's safety, Wyatt was worried that Virgil might kill ike
Meon Krishnanan Ike was unarmed. He knew Virgil could handle Ike easily.
"Hey, loving man. You been called."
*shows winning hand*
"...Oops~!"
Best ‘oops’ ever *period*
The guy that slapped d

She just said he can go all day and night and then some that's why he gets to be her loving man don't keep a man who can't keep up with you so of course he's a winner.
He also uses that 'ooops' in the same way in The Saint XD
Ike don't take no lip off a bartender! BEST backhand i've seen i ages
Thomas Oliver that slap was swift as hell, Ike slapped the balance out of Milt LMAO
Must have taken lessons from Russell when he slapped billy Bob thorton in the saloon!

Yeah, tc, now tell us how many accepted that challenge and then whipped your ass?
To be honest not a bad play. Spell check = lazy ass spellers. Myself included.
2:38 I love how Tom McLaury catches the bottle while watching Ike, just cool.. Doesn't take his eyes off of Ike yet catches the bottle..
Michael Chacon holy shit I never noticed that. Amazing how gems like this keep popping up thank you
Damn nice catch
Nice bit of business, as we say in the business. It was just one of those accidental moments that worked and happened to be in the take that was kept.
I’m sure that was improvised
Thank you so much for this. Already showing my friends.
Ike would have lost a spelling contest, too.
The only word he can spell is " lawdog"
He don't take no mouth from no youtuber! You see, you slap someone on the beard and you get some respect.
He would misspell cat
@@stimactzedvard7556 kate
That's the joke.
Ike: "loving man" lol Priceless!
John Keys that was the point.
"Give somebody a wrap on the beezer, get some respect around here!" Best character in the movie, Ike Clanton FTW
Kurt Russel's mustache should have won an Oscar
"hes so drunk he cant even see straight!"..."i got two guns...one for each of yuh." XD!!
😂
The scene was further perfected with the fact he twirled the guns in each direction as well as continue holding his metal cup. It was something I never noticed in my viewings till somebody pointed it out

+ForceMaximus84 " Take it easy boys."
He was my favorite from this movie to. 'I'm your huckleberry' Best line ever!!
That bottle catch though !!
Love it!!
I always thought that was impressive I’m sure that was improvised
Hey... Loving man... You've been called - has me rolling every time.
Me too. I loved how Ike was pissed and seething, yet Holiday keeps taunting him, showing him zero respect.
Why Stephen Lang didn't win an Oscar for his portrayal of Ike Clanton iis beyond me. He had to be the most powerful actor in the movie.
Tim Fowler I think you and I are the silent majority on that. I totally agree. Not that Val Kilmer didn't do a good job but I think Stephen Lang was better in his role.

when he bopped Ike on the skull with his gun, man will never be as suave at pistol whipping people as Wyatt.

"Dont take no mouth from no bartender neither"
“I will not be pawed at, thank you very much.” 😏
I must have missed that part.
Sludge 1:18
Best western of all time!
This longer version of this is awesome 👏 ..!
Ike is by far the funniest character in this movie. Doc is great too. BUT IKE was killing me the entire movie lmao.
"nonsense I have not yet begun to defile myself." Doc you've been drinking for two days straight and it helps with the coughing but come on drown yourself in Kate for a while
Notice how quickly after doc fell she went right for that money
Yeah you ever hear of Whiskey dick? No way is up for balling Kate in that condition he can still shoot cards and his mouth off though.
I loved Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday!
Fun fact: ike's actor is colonel quaritch from avatar.
Also General Pickett in Gettysburg and Stonewall Jackson in Gods and Generals.He has great presence
I first remember Stephen Lang as David Abrams the idealistic liberal lawyer from TV's "Crime Story." A very versatile actor.

I don't take no lip from no bartender neither
Gets ko'ed seconds later lol

ike was more bark than bite. on his own, he was useless.
That was true of most of the outlaw cowboys of Tombstone. That's why they rarely worked on their own.
