The Ringo Kid didn't have to act like a badass even though with one hand tied behind his back, and without breaking a sweat, the Ringo Kid could whoop any of today's crop of poseurs in a Lordsville minute. Yes, he was driven to avenge his murdered brother, but out of a sense of justice, not revenge.
liked the portrayal of ringo in the movie with val kilmer (sp?)- tombstone i think it was- Very understated, but indefinably portrayed a dangerous man- Doc, played by Val- was also another awesomely portrayed character- didn’t brag didn’t tell and scream and swear- just let his guns and reputation do the talkin-
I liked the following exchange between doc and wyatt- even though it probably wasn’t representative of ringgo’s drive- but it showed that doc understood him in the movie at least, because that’s what kinda drove doc too- again, at least i nthe movie’s plot-
Wyatt Earp : What makes a man like Ringo, Doc? What makes him do the things he does?
Doc Holliday : A man like Ringo has got a great big hole, right in the middle of him. He can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it.
Wyatt Earp : What does he need?
Doc Holliday : Revenge.
Wyatt Earp : For what?
Doc Holliday : Bein’ born.
Val just nailed his part in this movie-
Tombstone
Ike Clanton : What is that now? Twelve hands in a row? Holliday, son of a bitch, nobody’s that lucky.
Doc Holliday : Why Ike, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker’s just not your game Ike. I know! Let’s have a spelling contest!
I laughed at this line- the look on Ike’s face after Doc said this was perfect-
All the actors did a great job in this movie-
