I really like this movie. Strange that two other Russell movies are high on my list as well. Used Cars (pretty high) and Escape from New York (on the list).
While everyone likes to say Kilmer took over this movie - everyone was great. Everyone.
Big Trouble in Little China
Always loved this movie. One of the best!!
You're not as dumb as you look, Ike.
That woman is smoking hot from the neck up and all the way down...
What’s a “tape”? lol
I read several similar stories in Western magazines 44 years ago. One even said the Earp clan often robbed stage coaches in the area.
It's about his dad, a journeyman actor, who purchased the Portland Mavericks minor league baseball team. Kurt played for them. It's a documentary of a bunch pro baseball misfits in the mid 70's.
But now, back to Doc and Wyatt....
***I visited Billy the Kids gravesite in New Mexico a few years ago.***
I read that the river flooded and washed away all the headstones. So many people came to see the grave of Billy the Kid that the local caretaker had a stone carved and just set it in the middle of the cemetery. That is the one that has been stolen, found, replaced, stolen, and now fenced in.
I’ve also seen the grave of Black Jack Ketchum at Clayton. He is buried not far from my dad’s family.
That and many other films. Too bad he's gone to seed and appears out of the business. A great actor!
Absolutely stunning woman in a 1880s costume! WOW!
Stunning in a potato sack or buck naked in the sack...
I’ve decided that the most accurate history is the history that is largely forgotten or ignored. Guys like Wyatt Earp and George Custer were celebrities and stories were written about them with every conceivable slant. It makes the actual history harder to find.
If you look at something like the River Raisin massacre you don’t find the same ambiguity. The story is pretty much the same from both sides.
Actually I recently read that Kilmer has lost like 100 lbs and is lurking around Hollywood.
One of my best friends who has now passed used to watch this movie with me when we were in college! Great times, good memories! VHS tape!!
Must have been an old article, since the late 1800s was when those men lived.
Doc Holliday was a very educated man, with a gentle attitude and manners, he came from a middle class family in GA. Ironically his mother had died from tuberculosis when he was young, the he went to PA to become a dentist. Doc went to Texas...died in Colorado. Insane, no. Killer, yes, but in self defense mostly. Great marxmen are always challenged by idiots.
Kilmer has really changed in looks, the pic in Wikepedia shows a much more heavy set guy.
It was not written all that long ago. That old soldier lived to be over a hundred. He had his opinion like everyone else. He did have the advantage of actually being there at the time.
Yeah he might've put on a pound or two...
WOW...I hadn’t seen that one. Hope he gets it under control, he was handsome guy when he was young. There is the normal middle age spread but then there is much more.
I ran across some old VHS tapes recently of home movies we recorded with the old ‘camcorder’. I have no idea what’s on them.
Do they even still sell VHS players anymore? I bet they look like total crap on a 54 inch LED Flat panel. LOL!
