Damn...
No way....
I completely forgot he had cancer.
in maverick, Which I enjoyed way more than the 1st one, his voice was AI generated. Enjoyed him in Tombstone, Best Doc holiday, and in where he played the nerd in Real /genius and Jim Morrison.
It's a travesty for the Academy that he did not even receive a nomination for Best Supporting Actor for Doc. Tommy Lee Jones won it that year for The Fugitive. Nobody walks around quoting TLJ's character like they do Val's Doc.
That's not true. I say "I dont care!!!" on a daily basisQuote:

That's the only quote from the movie everybody knows.Quote:

His best role was Doc Holiday in Tombstone. He was the star in that movie IMO. Some of best lines of the movie.
He actually died from pneumonia. He had beat the cancer. Just couldnt speak.Quote:

This is 100% accurate. Every man makes tombstone quotes all the time.Quote:

Ironic he died from a lung disease in Tombstone also.Quote:

Why Johnny Ringo, You Look Like Somebody Just Walked Over Your Grave.
I'm your huckle bearer. Why, that's just my game.
Say when...
Barber, proceed sir.
Damn I loved that movie.
At work all the time, I say, "it's like playing cards with my brothers kids"!!!!
Johnny Ringo: My fight's not with you, Holliday.
Doc Holliday: I beg to differ, sir. We started a game we never got to finish. "Play For Blood" - remember?
Johnny Ringo: Oh that. I was just foolin' about.
Doc Holliday: I wasn't.
Sorry my friend, but I've got to correct you one of the greatest lines in cinematic history?Quote:

Awesome scene and maybe my favorite.
Great exchange. Kilmer so killed that role. No one can play Doc Holiday again.Quote:

I also loved “Blood in the streets”......with all people 50cent, fidycent or whatever he goes by and Sharon Stone.. About Nawlins after the flood.......Val does his best southern accent.
I forgot about this one - the Isle of Dr. Moreau. Pretty good movie.
I watched it in the theater and thought that I had not only wasted time, but money as well. Maybe I should go back and watch again?!? This is the movie that made him an outcast for really good roles for the rest of his career, which is a shame.Quote:
