Val Kilmer - The mag reload scene -RIP

[JR_77]

Don’t know much about the guy personally but he was one of the best actors of his era and passed away today. Was on his game in the movie Heat.

I remember the first time I saw Heat during the shootout scene that mag reload felt authentic and very real like he was fighting for his life.

The infamous mag reload scene.

Liked him in the Top Gun films, really liked him in Heat and of course Tombstone…even more so in The Saint, but honestly my favorite role of his was in Real Genius. We still quote his lines from that flick in our house!

Blue Skies Ice…

Fair winds and following Seas, Iceman...

 

[sirhrmechanic]

He had throat or neck cancer and health issues for years…. Bummer, he was a great actor who many of us “grew up” with!

So many great roles!! From Iceman to The Saint to Jim Morrison… to John Henry Patterson and my favorite… Nick Rivers!

You made it to the tall corn, Spartan!

Black Comedy movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. He co-stars along with Robert Downey Jr.

His character, LA Private Investigator Gay Perry, delivers funny one liners in his scenes with RDJ

 

[MarshallDodge]

Fantastic actor, one of the few that I could watch and forget who I was really watching.

May he rest in peace.

“You’ve had your whole life to prepare for this. Why aren’t you ready”

That line has always stuck with me. It’s from Spartan. Lesser known but it’s a great one.

Among his best… he was fantastic and Mamet captured the whole feel of the plot and the operators brilliantly!

One of his lesser known movies, Thunderheart. One of my favorites.

 

[Dead Eye Dick]

Says a lot about Tom Cruise when he insisted that Val be written into the second Top Gun movie. REP ICE. You had a good run.

RIP

I have loved him in many roles, but his role as Doc Holiday in Tombstone was my favorite.

RIP Iceman

My daughter got a Val Kilmer print of Jim Morrison Lizard King for Christmas.
It just went up in value.

 

[Waco Kid]

RIP, he’ll always be Iceman to me but he wss amazing in pretty much everything he was in. Doc Holiday was the highlight of Tombstone. Great actor, even in the small overlooked stuff like Entourage. Thanks for the memories Val!

RIP to another great one lost. I was born in the town where Doc Holliday died. His portrayal of Doc, has always held a special place in my heart.

Val Kilmer was on Letterman one night and I was surprised how small he was, almost nerdy, his demeanor unpretentious and almost shy.

It was hard to imagine how he transformed himself onscreen into the characters he played. He studied and completetly immersed himself, becoming the character.

He was a true pro, dedicated to his craft. The fact the military used his mag change in HEAT as a training video is testament to that.

And then I find out after all these years, he didn’t say “Huckleberry” but “Huckle beaer” the old school saying for pallbearer. (Casket carrier) That makes more sense he’d say that over berry. But fuck it! Lol

Unlike Jack Nicholson. Jack just be Jack in every movie! Lol

That's really the only movie I think his acting sucked. I think the director just gave up on him trying to sound Irish about 4 scenes into the movie! LOL Surprising since he nailed a lot of accents in "The Saint".

 

[cas6969]

I heard he was a dick.
Fuck him

Audiences liked him. Co-workers and directors... not so much.

Probably top of the worst people, never again list for more than a few.

BBBBBAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

That's the "Pat Boone" cover, not the "Little Richard" original.

He was good in A Few Good Men but he ruined other movies by acting like an idiot. The Departed comes to mind.

Shoulda stepped up in a different spot than he left to do his reload to keep em guessing

The being said, he has some good roles.

I'll be your "Huckleberry" is like some misquote I would make as a small kid that my family would find hilarious and use from then on.

Its because the handle on a casket was called a Huckle

From another source:

• Doc Holliday's "I'm your huckleberry" line means "I'm the one you want" in Tombstone.
• The term "huckleberry" was misinterpreted as "huckle bearer" leading to confusion among some viewers.
• Val Kilmer named his memoir "I'm Your Huckleberry" after his iconic line in Tombstone.
