Despite the fact that Kevin Costner tried to sink Tombstone....look it up (I'm surprised minty didn't mention it), there was supposed to be a number of big western stars but they pulled out because of Costner's influence.
It's also a prime example on how sometimes actors can make the movie even better. Kurt Russell ended up ghost directing the movie. Stallone recommended this director because the director lets actors take over. Now that's not always a good thing, a great director needs to make their own movies. However Kurt Russell wanted to direct his own movie but from the side and this director was cooperative with that idea. Not only that this movie ended up being much better than Kevin Costner's movie. Kevin Costner and the actors in that other movie just appeared weak and not as cool as all the actors in this movie. Kurt Russell just has more of a dominating presence than Kevin Costner. Then again Snake is a lot more charismatic than Robin Hood. everybody at the time thought that the Kevin Costner movie was going to be the better version, and it turns out that Kurt Russel's movie is not only better in the cool department it's also a better quality movie with much better performances. Especially from Val kilmer. across the board the actors are way better on this movie than on the Costner one
@@BrimsHL I found a few of Cosmatos’ films to be fun to watch, but you can tell Kurt’s hands are all over this film. George was probably a good guy, but his films had zero depth.
As much as I love Willem Defoe, I'm glad that Val Kilmer did this role. Defoe would have been much more manic I think. Kilmer had both a sly coolness, but also a sense of vulnerability. He owned the role.
I haven't seen this movie since I was a child, but I still remember him as Doc Holiday. I forgot all the other big names were in it. He definitely was the standout
The production invited the townspeople of Tombstone to see the movie for free, but Tombstone did not have a movie theater. So they had to bus everyone to Sierra Vista, AZ for them to see it.
Yeah I'm surprised Minty didn't mention 1988's Young Guns, and it's success, as arguably the main catalyst for the resurgence of Cowboy/Western Movies of the early to mid 1990's.
Doc : In vino veritas. Ringo : Age quod agis. Doc : Credat Judaeus Apella, non ego. Ringo : Juventus stultorum magister. Doc : In pace requiescat! Doc : In wine there is truth. Doc Holiday is excusing his own behavior here, and further insulting Johnny Ringo by saying that he is drunk, and saying truthful things he would otherwise not reveal. He had previously said he hated Johnny Ringo for being similar to himself. Ringo : Do what you do / Watch what you do. This is one of the most interesting lines because it means more than just watch what you do. The line can be interpreted as be careful, or people do what they do (saying that Doc Holiday is drunk because he is a drunkard), and it can also mean something along the lines of do what you do best, which would be gunfight since Ringo had apparently heard of Holiday's skill. It is a challenge and an insult combined into one. Doc : Tell it to someone else, not I. This line is dismissive. Doc Holiday is conveying the fact that he doesn't care what Johnny Ringo is saying and that he doesn't care what his advice is. A common Latin saying meaning "Let the Jew Apella believe it; not I". The phrase means, roughly, tell it to someone else, not me. The reference is taken from the work Satires (book one, satire five) by ancient poet Horace. It is derived from a scene where people try to convince travellers of miracles happening at their shrines. The phrase is uttered to convey the disbelief and that they should tell their stories to someone else. Ringo : Youth is the teacher of fools. When Ringo taps his pistol he says this, which conveys the idea that Doc Holiday is inexperienced (youthfull) and ignorant of the danger he is getting himself into. "Juventus stultorum magister" is a common Latin aphorism, or phrase that has many implied and implicit meanings. The sentance translates to "youth is the teacher of fools". Juventus isn't really a latin word, they didn't use the letter 'J' so it is really Iuventus, which is in the nominative case (subject of the sentence), and it means youth or adolescence. Stultorum is a latin derivation of the word stultus, stulti which means fool. The "orum" ending places it in the genative case, used (most frequently) to show possesion. Hence of fools. Magister literally means teacher or schoolmaster. It is in the Nominative case as well. There is an implied transitive verb such as "is" which would require the nominative case on both sides of the verb. Hence we have: "Youth is the teacher of fools". Doc : Rest in peace! To end the conversation Doc Holiday throws the previous warning back into Ringo's face. Doc tells him to rest in peace, or to die, because Ringo is unaware of the danger that Doc presents.
@@d.m.e.b.m.f7649 and his singing was real and very well done. It also had his first Western scene in the barroom brawl with Nigel at the bottom of the river. Complete with the Gunsmoke theme!
What does that mean though, 'director in the public eye?' If Russel took over why wouldn't Kazmartis just leave the set? And what did he do all day while Russel was directing? It all seemed friendly though and not some Hollywood star power play. Maybe Russel just thought he had better ideas and wanted Kazmartis to still get his paycheck so maybe Kazmartis handled the technical aspects of directing while Russel did creative. Minty kind of jumped through that one quickly, seems there's more to that very interesting story.

He said "You've got balls of steel to ask that, hell no!" I shrugged and said "Oh well, at least I've seen it twice already." My Sgt was shocked, laughed and gave me the night off.

I think that Bill Paxton was a very good actor in certain roles but he is quite poor here. He never really proved himself as a 'dramatic' actor until "A Simple Plan".
Val Kilmer's Doc Holiday is still one of my favorite anti-heroes to this day. Hearing that Russel was the ghost director makes me respect his abilities even more. And bruh. That was Stephen Lang as the drunk whom was legit drunk?! Dude went method af. Lol
I love your reviews and facts Minty, but I have to call you out on one thing: Glory is not a Western. It's an American Civil War epic. No part of it happens anywhere west of Savannah, Georgia.
You missed another connection. Val Kilmer's wife, Joanne Whalley-Kilmer played Scarlett O'Hara in the 1994 sequel movie "Scarlett". So the actor who played Doc, was married to the lady who played his cousin's most famous character.
@@anthonyw5261 to quote Walter White, "you're Goddamn right!" Ive seen that movie sooooo many times. "Why are you wearing that ridiculous thing on your head?" "If i wear it anywhere else, it chaffs"
True, but the Civil War occured during the time period that we consider "the old west" and many of the historical figures we remember from the old west were Civil War veterans, so even though it fits more into the war movie genre, it is still set in the old west
You got a point! Though Westerns are not always tight to a period. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly is a western classic set during the Civil War and so is The Outlaw Josey Wales. I'd say they are Civil War westerns. In addition there are Soviet Westerns known as Easterns, contemporary westerns and even Finnish Westerns 😁 😆
@@dogsartandhealth That depends on how you want to look at it. While the "Old West" period is considered to have officially ended in 1920, it is considered a time period of US history. The events of Titanic, while occurring in 1912 set it within the time period on the American Old West, it never arrived in America. England, where Titanic originated, was in their Edwardian Era at the time, which would probably be a more accurate description. Similarly you wouldn't call From Hell a Western, as it is set in England during the Victorian era
@@RemyJackson it's a "War" movie bruh. Specifically a "Civil War" movie.If we're talking semantics, movies fall into genres based on their subject matter. It's not 'Nam, Smokey. There are rules.
I am so glad you covered a western since it seems like none of film RUclipsrs seem to focus on scifi, Marvel and modern cinema. I'd like to see more of these. Tombstone has being my all time favourite westerns ever since I saw it as kid with my old man.
Opened this first thing this morning, heard OK Coral. Came back an hour later and it became the OK Corral... Great job Minty! Seriously you go above and beyond in your content.
Wyatt Earp with Kevin Costner is said to be more historically accurate but damn was it a terrible movie. I’m not big on westerns but this one is one of the classics.
One of the best, Western movies, ever produced. (Not to take away from any others, as there are 100's!). SOOO much quote-able lines, that you can't not catch yourself repeating them after watching it! Love it!
I love this movie and I even love the Kevin Costner version. Tombstone is more action driven with awesome dialogue. While Wyatt Earp is more epic-ish and historical. Both have great actors especially the ones playing Doc Holiday. Both extremely devoted to their craft. Yet another video gem! Thanks Minty!
Without question my favorite western of all time. I've watched Sergio Leone's trilogy, Rio Bravo, both True Grits, Unforgiven, some of Deadwood (need to finish that), and some others. Still, I've watched Tombstone the most in this genre. Thanks Minty!
Thank you for finally getting to this one Minty. This is one of my favorite movies of all time, even read the book many times too. And I’m pretty sure I can quote nearly every Doc Holiday line in it.
Awwwwww, Minty. I hope you weren't bullied into re-upping this vid due to mispronunciation. Being an American I liked it even if it wasn't exactly right. No worries, you did your best!
I think it was because he forgot to activate the comment section, and I'm with you... I love it when people like minty mispronounce the American English language in their own way. It speaks to their authenticity.
@@blkhemi3925 No, it was pointed out he mispronounced Corral as it's assumed soundalike, a coral reef, in the comments. Bless his heart, though. He tried.
I saw Tombstone on Christmas day 1993 at the local cinema. One year later, I received a VHS copy of the film on Christmas morning. With two or three exceptions, I have watched Tombstone on Christmas day every year. It's my only Christmas film.
There are a lot of movies based on the story. My Darling Clementine with Henry Fonda as Wyatt was directed by John Ford, who knew Wyatt Earp earlier in Ford's career and wanted to make a film about him. Side note, a young assistant tasked with fetching coffee for the old lawman was Marion Morrisey, who went on to base some of his onscreen mannerisms on him. Morrisey went on to make a career under the name John Wayne.
Glory is actually a war movie. Some of it happens on the east coast of North America. It’s about 20 years earlier. It’s a totally understandable misspeak as I am not at all familiar with Australian history. Great videos. I really enjoy them
I met Kurt Russell and told him I loved you in Tombstone, and he smiled and said” I appreciate that” and thanked me and I even got a picture with him. Not knowing that he actually directed it. Really nice guy!
Grew up with dad watching westerns, Big Valley, Bonanza, Maverick, they were his soap opera 😀. This movie kicks butt. I mean when Kurt throws Billy Bob out of the Oriental Saloon. "Boy you gonna do something or just stand there and bleed. " One of my favorite Western Movies of all time.
Val Kilmer's casting was just perfect. I just couldn't see anyone else performing that roll better. He shows the characters abilities and grit, showing through the vulnerability due to his health.
There were many Westerns that I learned to enjoy throughout the years of my life, such as: 1. Bandolero 2. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly 3. POSSE 4. High Plains Drifter 5. TOMBSTONE 6. Dances With Wolves 7. 5 Card Stud 8. Buck and The Preacher 9. For A Few Dollars More 10. Fistful of Dollars just to name a few. I have always watched Westerns because during the 1960's, that was what dominated the early afternoon television programming as best as I can remember. There are many more, but I don't recall all of the titles.
Hey Minty! This was awesome, thank you! I live in Arizona just a couple hours north of Tombstone. I love going there all the time. If you’re ever in Arizona, I’ll show you the place. As far as our heat, yeah in the summer it’s hot but it is dry. That means you don’t sweat nearly as much as you would in a humid environment. Because it’s dry and you don’t sweat much, you gotta make sure you hydrate constantly. You may dehydrate without knowing it!
I've been to Tombstone AZ. I was surprised that the western part of the city is just one street, it was cool, there were people dressed in western clothes and some would tell us the history of City. The best part of the trip for me was visiting The Birdcage that place is Haunted as hell
Tombstone is a great place to visit, I also thoroughly recommend it. I was last there in 2002 and I posed in the OK Corral with my fingers pretending to be pistols :-)
Um, "Glory" is in no way, shape, or form a Western. Also, I'd say the Western revival was started with "Pale Rider" and "Silverado". Love your channel, by the way (other than that one video)!
I know it’s tough for Minty sometimes, being from Australia and reviewing American films. I kind of teased him a little about the “Tombstone being based on real life” fact. Over here in the US, everyone knows this film was based on a real story. I wouldn’t expect someone from the other side of the globe to know that though. Minty’s doing a great job . 👍
This movie, like Star Wars & anything w/ Robin Williams, was a huge part of my childhood. I was the one who dragged my parents to see this in theatres (back then kids could go with parents). Everyone's dad had this movie playing when I went to their home.
The coin toss Val Kilmer does in this movie. That predates this movie. You see him doing it in Real Genius as well. Might be something he likes doing outside of the movies.
All my life and I’ve never known about huckles. Does that infer that Huckleberry Finn went to a lot of funerals (that he came from a big family that all died)?
@@TheRealNormanBates right?! I didn't even think to look it up. But the shooting takes place years before the Mark Twain book was written. I thought it was more playful but it is just a straight up threat. I think I like it more. Lol
@@alwaysxnever I guess it depends on how you say it. For a friend, you could be saying “I’ll stick with you to the end, and you can count on me to even carry your body to a proper resting place.” For an enemy, it could be considered a polite insult.
Tombstone is one of my all time favorite Western movies. Even my mom who always enjoyed watching TV Westerns from the late 50's and Western movies as well as I. She really enjoyed seeing Tombstone when I took her to see it at the theater. Her favorite character was Doc Holliday portrayed by Val Kilmer.
RIP Bill Paxton, Power Boothe, Charlton Heston and Robert Mitchum.
TOMBSTONE is indeed an all-star cast assembled movie!
Agree.
Aw shoot, didn't realize Powers Boothe is dead.

Doc : In vino veritas.

@@avega2792 I actually much preferred that movie version with Kevin Costner along with the other actors over this movie
No, it's pretty accurate. I was there when it happened.
One of the best, Western movies, ever produced. (Not to take away from any others, as there are 100's!). SOOO much quote-able lines, that you can't not catch yourself repeating them after watching it! Love it!
I think the movie "Silverado" in 1985 was the one to revive interest in the Western movie genre. A young Kevin Costner was co-star.
I love this movie and I even love the Kevin Costner version. Tombstone is more action driven with awesome dialogue. While Wyatt Earp is more epic-ish and historical. Both have great actors especially the ones playing Doc Holiday. Both extremely devoted to their craft. Yet another video gem! Thanks Minty!
Without question my favorite western of all time. I've watched Sergio Leone's trilogy, Rio Bravo, both True Grits, Unforgiven, some of Deadwood (need to finish that), and some others. Still, I've watched Tombstone the most in this genre. Thanks Minty!
Thank you for finally getting to this one Minty. This is one of my favorite movies of all time, even read the book many times too. And I’m pretty sure I can quote nearly every Doc Holiday line in it.
"Skin that smoke wagon and see what happens"
Are you going to do something or just sit there and bleed?
I never heard a gun referred to as a smoke wagon before.
I made a cashier laugh when I went to buy some big purchase and I said, "Let me skin this smoke wagon," and I threw down my debit card. LOL.
@@kerim.peardon5551 😅😅love it
Please do o brother where art thou
Awwwwww, Minty. I hope you weren't bullied into re-upping this vid due to mispronunciation. Being an American I liked it even if it wasn't exactly right. No worries, you did your best!
I think it was because he forgot to activate the comment section, and I'm with you... I love it when people like minty mispronounce the American English language in their own way. It speaks to their authenticity.
@@blkhemi3925 No, it was pointed out he mispronounced Corral as it's assumed soundalike, a coral reef, in the comments. Bless his heart, though. He tried.
Considering that 'coral' is still in there...lol
The Island of Dr Moreau is Val Kilmers funniest work. He does a perfect Marlon Brando impersonation lmao
The Adam West and Val Kilmer = Batman = Doc Holiday was the big "Wow" fact for me. Great find!
Sam Elliott's moustache could kill someone, just by staring at him.
Did you know he can levitate?
@@brantleyhester6641 He doesn't wear a mask. Corona virus simply cannot pass that fur barrier under his nose.
Women get pregnant around him if he sneezes.
Sam Elliott never starves. He keeps food stored in his moutache to give him sustainance for weeks.
Sam Elliott's moustache was born before Sam Elliott.
" The last ride of Wyatt and his Immortals" great pick minty
I saw Tombstone on Christmas day 1993 at the local cinema. One year later, I received a VHS copy of the film on Christmas morning. With two or three exceptions, I have watched Tombstone on Christmas day every year. It's my only Christmas film.
If you can't quote Doc Holiday we can't be friends.
Does this mean we’re not friends anymore? You know, if I thought you weren’t my friend......I just don’t think I could bear it.
In vino veritas.
Barber.. proceed sir...
Oh......Johnny I'm sorry I forgot you were there......You may go now....
There is a 50's movie of this. It had stared Burt Lancaster as Wyatt Earp and Kirk Douglas as Doc Holiday.
There are a lot of movies based on the story. My Darling Clementine with Henry Fonda as Wyatt was directed by John Ford, who knew Wyatt Earp earlier in Ford's career and wanted to make a film about him.
Side note, a young assistant tasked with fetching coffee for the old lawman was Marion Morrisey, who went on to base some of his onscreen mannerisms on him. Morrisey went on to make a career under the name John Wayne.
For the record, I love you, Minty! My son is an Aspie and he reminds me a little of you. I'm so proud of him. Thank you, my friend.
I've never been into Westerns but this blew me the hell away! Especially Val Kilmer, wow!
Val kilmer steals this movie and leads it for the start to end. Fantastic actor.
Glory is actually a war movie. Some of it happens on the east coast of North America. It’s about 20 years earlier. It’s a totally understandable misspeak as I am not at all familiar with Australian history. Great videos. I really enjoy them
Tombstone is my all time favorite Western Movie! Great Casting with Russell and Kilmer!
Nearly 30 years later and it’s still my all-time favourite!
You smell that Bill? Smells like someone died. ---Johnny Ringo.
Well........ Bye......
My Dad took the family to Tombstone AZ on the way to Disneyland back in the late 80s. July in Tombstone!!!! 117 degrees at noontime!!!!!
Pretty good, since Tombstone was released on December 25, 1993.
I met Kurt Russell and told him I loved you in Tombstone, and he smiled and said” I appreciate that” and thanked me and I even got a picture with him. Not knowing that he actually directed it. Really nice guy!
Grew up with dad watching westerns, Big Valley, Bonanza, Maverick, they were his soap opera 😀. This movie kicks butt. I mean when Kurt throws Billy Bob out of the Oriental Saloon.
"Boy you gonna do something or just stand there and bleed. " One of my favorite Western Movies of all time.
Doc Holiday: "Play for blood remember"
Johnny Ringo: "I was just foolin about"
Doc Holiday: "I wasn't"
Alright lunger!
Just when you think you know everything about a movie Minty comes along to say "oh, no you don't" Lol! Thanks, mate, for another fantastic episode.
I don't normally get into western movies but that movie Tombstone was one of my all-time favorite movies
Val Kilmer's casting was just perfect.
I just couldn't see anyone else performing that roll better.
He shows the characters abilities and grit, showing through the vulnerability due to his health.
Mitchum was supposed to play Old Man Clanton not Ike Clanton according to a Tombstone documentary
If you want to get you're cowboy on you should do "Quigley down under" 🎄
Love that movie. Tom Selleck makes great cowboy period movies.
Yeah, that's a hidden gem there. Worked as an usher in a movie theater when that was out. Watched it many times in that theater.
There were many Westerns that I learned to enjoy throughout the years of my life, such as:
1. Bandolero
2. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
3. POSSE
4. High Plains Drifter
5. TOMBSTONE
6. Dances With Wolves
7. 5 Card Stud
8. Buck and The Preacher
9. For A Few Dollars More
10. Fistful of Dollars
just to name a few. I have always watched Westerns because during the 1960's, that was what dominated the early afternoon television programming as best as I can remember. There are many more, but I don't recall all of the titles.
Hey Minty! This was awesome, thank you! I live in Arizona just a couple hours north of Tombstone. I love going there all the time.
If you’re ever in Arizona, I’ll show you the place.
As far as our heat, yeah in the summer it’s hot but it is dry. That means you don’t sweat nearly as much as you would in a humid environment.
Because it’s dry and you don’t sweat much, you gotta make sure you hydrate constantly. You may dehydrate without knowing it!
Glory wasn't really a Western, set during the American Civil War and situated on the east coast.
It's the rare genre, the Eastern!
Yup, you beat me to it. The climax of the movie took place at Fort Wagner which was on Morris Island in South Carolina.
We started a game we never got to finish. Play for blood remember, I was just funnen, I wasn't.
Isn’t it, “I was just foolin about?” (I could be wrong)
Some things happen for a reason,can’t imagine the movie without Kilmer & Biehn! They were astounding in their rolls.
Tombstone and silverado are my two favorite westerns of the 80s. Loved both of them. Can watch them any time there on tv. Im your huckleberry
10 Things You Didn't Know About Iron Eagle (1986)
Good movie
I think the success of 1989s Lonesome Dove mini-series had alot to do with the 90's Western revival.
Bless Larry McMurtry!
Tombstone is one of the greatest Western movies every made. Great Jon Minty!
Classic film. I could watch this movie over and over. Awesome work minty
I've been to Tombstone AZ. I was surprised that the western part of the city is just one street, it was cool, there were people dressed in western clothes and some would tell us the history of City. The best part of the trip for me was visiting The Birdcage that place is Haunted as hell
I been there in 2007
Tombstone is a great place to visit, I also thoroughly recommend it. I was last there in 2002 and I posed in the OK Corral with my fingers pretending to be pistols :-)
Um, "Glory" is in no way, shape, or form a Western. Also, I'd say the Western revival was started with "Pale Rider" and "Silverado". Love your channel, by the way (other than that one video)!
But Silverado was released in 1985. So the 90's revival quote is accurate. Just saying.
@@Dillonxman25 Pale Rider was 1985 too. While a decent movie, not as good as Unforgiven. In my opinion.
Young Guns too
One of my favorite movies. Val Kilmer was amazing, I hear he never broke character during the whole shoot.
This was an awesome movie. Pure western. I loved Kilmer in this. "Wyatt Earp is my friend."
Val did the same trick of rolling a coin threw his fingers in the GREAT movie Real Genius
After reading the comments, I have a feeling that "Glory" is not a Western.
I know it’s tough for Minty sometimes, being from Australia and reviewing American films. I kind of teased him a little about the “Tombstone being based on real life” fact. Over here in the US, everyone knows this film was based on a real story. I wouldn’t expect someone from the other side of the globe to know that though. Minty’s doing a great job . 👍
minty, thank you. with all the craziness in the last 4 years. to have you pop up in my youtube feed for 10 minutes of good fun is priceless.
This movie, like Star Wars & anything w/ Robin Williams, was a huge part of my childhood. I was the one who dragged my parents to see this in theatres (back then kids could go with parents). Everyone's dad had this movie playing when I went to their home.
How is 'Glory' a western film? The entire film is on the East Coast for one.
Exactly what I came to say. It's a war drama, not a western in any sense of the word.
@Nick Ortiz
:
Agreed. _Glory_ [1989] is not a Western at all, but a War movie and a Historical film.
“Ladies N Gentlemann Looks Like Ringo Here Is A Learned Man!”-Drunk Doc Holliday
"an educated man"
He says educated man
Now I really hate him
This was such an amazing movie!!! And the cast was perfect!!!!
One of the best, most quotable, movies I've ever seen!
The coin toss Val Kilmer does in this movie. That predates this movie. You see him doing it in Real Genius as well. Might be something he likes doing outside of the movies.
I'm your huckleberry was a play on huckle bearer which a huckle was the handle on a casket. I'll carry your casket doesn't have the same zip.
All my life and I’ve never known about huckles.
Does that infer that Huckleberry Finn went to a lot of funerals (that he came from a big family that all died)?
@@TheRealNormanBates right?! I didn't even think to look it up. But the shooting takes place years before the Mark Twain book was written. I thought it was more playful but it is just a straight up threat. I think I like it more. Lol
@@alwaysxnever I guess it depends on how you say it. For a friend, you could be saying “I’ll stick with you to the end, and you can count on me to even carry your body to a proper resting place.” For an enemy, it could be considered a polite insult.
Huckleberry was also a word used to denote a small or insignificant thing. It could be used in a self deprecating manner as sarcasm.
It is an actual berry (and the state fruit of Utah). Here's an article about the origination of this phrase: www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-huc1.htm
Minty cares ... and we appreciate him ... awesome work Minty !
One of the best westerns made.
Young Guns
Young Guns II
Tombstone
Quigley, Down Under
Best Western's of all time!
The quick and the dead.
The unforgiven
True Grit
Lonesome Dove, Open Range , The Outlaw Jose Wales.
Did anyone want to grow a moustache after this movie or was that me?
Tombstone is one of my all time favorite Western movies. Even my mom who always enjoyed watching TV Westerns from the late 50's and Western movies as well as I. She really enjoyed seeing Tombstone when I took her to see it at the theater. Her favorite character was Doc Holliday portrayed by Val Kilmer.
One of the best Westerns ever. It has talent, scenery, a great score, and a great story. What else could you want?
