TOMBSTONE Clip - I'm Your Huckleberry (1993) Val Kilmer

Long years but I keepy words

It’s I’m your Huckle Bearer 😂 not I’m your huckleberry 😂 if one quotes Doc holiday one should know the correct saying have a nice day

Gonna have to watch it again. Been decades.

Oops

Huckle bearer

The line is Huckleberry. Not Huckleberry. Huckleberry is the old slang for casket bearer

Whenever I see a message or note about Doc Holiday, I see Val Kilmer's represntation! Val has done magnificent work over the years in so many movies. He truly aces the character he portrays!

Moral of the story: Don't fuck with people who are dying of tuberculosis.

My single favorite character in all of westerns...is Val's Doc Holiday

Great scene. A very good performance by Mr. Kilmer, i think.

Listen closely and he says bearer..

It's huckle bearer - not huckle berry. Huckle was a handle on a coffin as carried by the bearer.

“You’re no daisy at all.”

There's a reason why Earp was shown running with his long-barrelled gun already drawn. It was to show that he would have stoon NO CHANCE of winning that duel. Just look at the difference between Earp's gun-barrel, and Doc's gun-barrel. There's a reason why quick-draw artists use a barrel legth of below 7.25 inches (around 16cm). The longer length of the longers barrels will add to the length of the draw-time. That extra 1/10th of a second which the longer barrel would have taken to draw would have cost Earp his life, even if his draw-speed was equal to Ringo's draw speed. Earp's gun was designed for greater accuracy over distance (just like a rifle)...definitely not quick-drawing.

He did an excelent job.

So cool!

Bad as

Something beautiful about a man with nothing left to lose and the skills to put on a show Doc gave no goddamns

Val Kilmer does an amazing job as Doc Holiday just an incredible performance.

Great scene

Genius

He says “ I’m your huckle bearer”
Aka pallbearer because the handle is called a huckle back then

Ringo firing a shot into the ground is excellent detail. In real life he was found dead against a tree with a wound to his temple, he pistol in his hand, and a round missing from the chamber. His death was ruled a suicide. Doc saying “I’m afraid the strain was more than he could bear” seems like a reference to this.

Johnny shouldve just ran circles and tire out doc 😂

Ringo’s excuse to back out, saying “I was just foolin’ about,” gave away to Doc that he feared him. And the reactionary smirk and retort is just ruthless.

Poor soul he was just too high strung.

You're no daisy

This is a great movie. Val Kilmer is my favorite in it. To me, he makes the movie how great it is.

I will remember Mr. Kilmer as Doc Holiday until my dying day. It's the power of a good performance, Brando as Vito Corleone, or Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter. Seems like a phenomenon of the past with so many movies every year, "super hero" focussed fandom and the end of the movie star mythos.

Ringo really feared Doc Holliday he knew that Doc was better than him

Si

I'm your huckuburry not huckleberry

Always love that smug "Weeellllll" at the beginning

Johnny is buried where he died.

I love this movie so much ngl but tbh when I first watched it I thought doc holiday was a young Johnny depp😂

Now that my friends is Law Enforcement 🇺🇸

I don’t think there is a reason to discuss this film. Val is a great actor and he’s just doing his thing

#🦅🕳️

“Why, Johnny ringo, you look someone just walked over your grave.” Is such a good line as, if you don’t know, the real Johnny ringo’s body was buried right there, under that tree, where he died.

Is Doc Holliday, supposed to be a tortured soul??

Val Kilmer seems to be suffering

Doc Holiday one of the best characters in movie history PERIOD!

The true meaning of “I’m your huckleberry” makes this line even more Phenomenal !

It’s hucklebearer.

...when

The way Doc emerges from the shadows is epic! Even though he's half dead with tuberculosis he's still on his game and is absolutely fearless! Val Kilmer was stunning throughout the entire movie!

this scene & the scene from Shutter Island where they talk about God & chaos while going to the warden are my two favorite scenes in cinema of all time, complete perfection man

He said, “I’m your buckle bearer.” Listen again. People called the handles on coffins huckles in those days. Pallbearers were often called huckle bearers.

He doesn’t say “I’m your huckleberry” he says “I’m your huckle bearer” which means he’s going to carry Ringo’s coffin
