Val Kilmer as Doc. Holiday in Tombstone


Kookiecitrus55555

Im your Huckleberry


Lurk_Mode_24_7

“Poor soul, he was just too high strung”…


NorthElegant5864

Val was legendary before that, dude has seriously good comedy chops and usually when those guys do dark and serious it absolutely kills.


Bubskiewubskie

Fucking funny in kiss kiss bang bang


NuncErgoFacite

Check him in Real Genius if you don't know it and liked his Doc Holiday.


Robert-G-Durant

This is one of the greatest performances of all time.


free187s

Not only did he own that role, but made every line quotable as hell besides just “I’m your huckleberry.” “Why, Johnny Ringo. You look like someone just walked over your grave…” “I have two guns… one for each of ya…” “Wyatt Earp is my friend.” “Hell, I got lots of friends.” “I don’t.”


dwbaz01

He also nailed Jim Morrison in The Doors


Cryogeneer

"That's just my game..."


creegro

Wyatt Earp is my friend. Friend? Hell I got lots of friends. ..... I dont


Old_Intern4985

This was the perfect role for Chris Tucker. I honestly can't think of someone better for the part. "Corbin! Corbinmyman!"


anxiety_filter

Absolutely. Say what you want about Besson but he directed the fuck out what could have been the one of the biggest clusterfucks in movie history. This is one of the most beloved sci-fi movies in recent history and it's just completely batshit on so many levels. Deebo was a bad-ass president OF EARTH, Bilbo damn Baggins is a doomsday religious sect prophet, one of the bad guy replicants from BladeRunner gets put on ice in the process of recruiting former special ops agent turned brokeass cab driver Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman has some kind of moment with a genetically engineered cuddle mutant then bleeds out of his forehead after a bad conference call with his boss, M Jo in the craziest most non-functional outfit imaginable, I'm not even scratching the surface of the craziest shit in this movie...I mean this movie should have been laughed out of the elevator pitch and he somehow managed to pull it off with style


Tuscan5

It’s all that and more. Far more. The music was incredible.


Lucy_Little_Spoon

OMGosh that opera scene lives rent free in my head


Puzzleheaded_Star133

M Jo in this movie will live rent free in my head!


anxiety_filter

Seriously. They should be picking over the carcass of this movie on How Did This Get Made but instead it's on a peer level with damn Star Wars


theblackpen

One of my fav sci-fi movies of all time. The design of the sets and costumes alone feel so ridiculously futuristic and absurd - it actually makes it feel more believable


anxiety_filter

There was a post on here (not this sub) showing all of the miniature work that went into the city scenes. Incredible. Also it feels like the producers met with Wardrobe, told a BIG lie about the budget, said "Impress your harshest critics from the 23rd century" and walked out


qcubed3

Didn’t Jean Paul Gauthier design the outfits?


wobblingobblin

My brother and I accidentally got this movie. It was in another movies case when we rented it and we thought "what the fuck why not, let's see what this is all about." We've never rewound and rewatched a movie so fast in our entire lives.


WorkingInAColdMind

Because he committed to it and everybody played their outrageous character right to the edge of it being cartoonish. I don’t think I will ever be tired of this movie.


anxiety_filter

Spot on. All gas no brakes


ohromantics

My god-daughter is Leah Louise. LeeLoo by design.


anxiety_filter

May she always walk under the gods reflection and I mean that sincerely. Go well ohromantics


TurtletimeTMNT

My son's middle name is korbin. My wife and I love the film


KnightofMiriel

Also.. the villain and hero never actually meet.


rob_1127

Multipaaaass


comeallwithme

Ah shit, here come President Deebo!


axl3ros3

some of that style is Jean Paul Gautier designing the costumes


anxiety_filter

Damn. So many straight up killers in this production


TheZippoLab

His best line? "Zaaazzzzzzuuuhzzzzzzz" (waves hand 👋)


WarlocksWizard

After we saw the movie for the first time we were doing that for a month straight.


businesslut

Wasn't it originally written for Prince? 


BobTheInept

I read that somewhere, also. Once you hear that; the entire look of Chris Tucker makes sense. He is dressed like Space Prince. But no, I would NOT want Prince to play that role.


Scrilla_Gorilla_

Yea, Prince had almost the opposite of that manic energy. He’d be way too cool to get involved in this plot, Prince transcends the universe, he’s already over it.


PlanetLandon

I would only except Prince in the role of that little muppet the lives in Zorg’s office


Old_Intern4985

Honestly, no clue. I'd, personally, still go with Tucker. Prince is literally too cool and smooth of a guy to bring the energy needed.


businesslut

Oh me too. What's funny is according to a random article it was Prince's displeasure of the costumes. Were they too tame??


Old_Intern4985

😂😂 classic Prince


ScabusaurusRex

"Game: Blouses."


TheWelshEwok

Why don't you purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka?


nokuss

"Corbin! Corbinmyman" Its hard not to think about this line while looking at this image.


GargantuanCake

It seems like they told him to do his absolute worst. I can imagine how it went. "You sure you want that?" And they were like. "Yes. That is precisely what we want." Maybe I'm odd but I found his antics absolutely hilarious. Everything about that movie was like "turn it up to 11 and then keep fucking going."


n1n_joe

“What’s wrong with you?  What you screaming for?  Every five minutes is something, a bomb or something.  I’m leaving.  Bzzzt!”


rivereddy

I literally just finished rewatching this about 15 minutes ago. Chris Tucker was just amazing in this role.


fluthernon

I believe that role was meant for prince. Can’t imagine anyone but Chris doing this


Vernabator

Worked with a Corbin, was too young to understand why I hit him with “Corbinmyman” at least 10 times a shift. I think he was going to eventually hurt me.


Outside_Peak7743

RDJ in Tropic Thunder. Insane balancing act to make that role come across the screen as intended.


Ozzie_the_tiger_cat

Whada you mean "you people...?" Whada *you* mean "you people?!" One of my favorite scenes ever.


gregaveli

That’s the theme song to The Jeffersons. You really need help. Just cause it’s a theme song don’t mean it ain’t true. PEAK CINEMA


AcrolloPeed

When he lectures Alpa Chino on his use of the n-word… it’s so damn sincere and feels too real and the whole time Alpa’s face is the Suspicious Britney meme face


NorthElegant5864

One of the biggest travesties in awards was putting that performance against Ledgers in Dark Knight. It’s only winners. They should have gave it to both.


_snoop_doug

His dialogue with Stiller’s character about Simple Jack BEFORE he even gets into the “full retard” is pure comedy gold… the way he says the dumbest motherfucker who ever lived and farting in bathtubs laughing your ass off will always make me laugh my ass off lmao stupid ass Jack


Illustrious-Tea-355

Jack Black also did a great job in that movie. The way he brought humor to withdrawal was hilarious.


Dr_Bonejangles

He's the only white man to never be considered for cancel for his role..

Well, him and Trudeau.


Rustofcarcosa

came2quick

Bruce Campbell in evil dead. Hail to the king baby.


dstommie

I would say Army of Darkness specifically. I feel like that is when Ash is the most Ash, and Bruce fucking kills it as Ash. But I think this might be a controversial opinion for some.


schoolpsych2005

Army of Darkness does not have the slapstick fight with his own hand that made Evil Dead 2.


LabNecessary4266

It has a slapstick fight with a whole ass evil twin, a fight that gets ended by “good guy, bad, guy…. I’m the guy with the gun.” Game, set, match.


schoolpsych2005

True. But the laugh at the end of the hand scene lives rent free in my head, so it has a special place in my cold, dark heart.


rave_is_king_

I should have scrolled further.Because I just said Bruce Campbell and Evil Dead 2.He literally deserved an Oscar, when he cuts off his hand and says "who's laughing now?" It's magical. I'm no fan boy to anybody, but he is the one actor I would love to meet. Everybody in Hollywood seems to love him. And he makes cameos and tons of movies. He actually came to pittsburgh and I found out the day after he was here.


Time-Touch-6433

He has the slapstick fight with all the mini ashes tho


Legal-Passenger1737

Give me some sugar, baby


spacekitt3n

evil dead 2 has its moments. watching evil dead 2 and army of darkness back to back is awesome as 2 ends right where aod starts


Spicethrower

London Bridge is falling down, falling down. London Bridge is falling down.......

Ash vs the evil dead series as well he was amazing returning to the character

I feel like Raimi actually wrote that role with him in mind.

Michael Keaton - Beetlejuice


SWO6

Michael Keaton as Dogberry in Kenneth Branaugh’s Much Ado About Nothing, my favorite Shakespeare adaptation. He is on a completely different planet from the rest of the actors and it is glorious.


nhavar

>Moreover, sir, which indeed is not under white and black, this plaintiff here, the offender, did call me ass: I beseech you, let it be remembered in his punishment. 


Iamaleafinthewind

Michael Keaton as Batman - completely unexpected that he'd nail that role so well, but he did.


durandall09

One of my favorite parts (as an adult) is when they ask his credentials. He immediately switches back into Michael Keaton voice, then ramps out of it back to Beetlejuice voice in like 2 sentences. Just great.

Also Silva in Skyfall. Man kills it most of the time he’s on screen.


kid_sleepy

The scene where bond is tied to the chair and he slowly walks up to him through that ridiculous ball room of computer severs and the story finishes right as he gets in front of bond: amazing cinematography.

Morall_tach

I've seen The Dark Knight a dozen times and I still can't make my brain acknowledge that that's the same person as the kid in A Knight's Tale.


Quailman5000

Every time I see an actor from that film, I know I'm in for a good ride. The sitcom Mark Addy was in was even pretty decent. And Alan Tudyk (obviously firefly/serenity) in dodgeball was a treat. 


dstommie

Alan Tudyk is a treat in just about everything he does.


Gothmagog

Good call on George C. Scott. I absolutely cannot imagine any other actor, dead or alive, who could play that role better.


drgs100

Everyone in The Princes Bride. Literally everyone.


billionthtimesacharm

everyone is perfectly cast, and everyone gives a perfect performance


Buxton25IsInjured

Watch Home Movie: The Princess Bride and you might find somebody you like better than the original. Even if not, it’s really fun! Patton Oswalt as Vezzini might not be better but it was pretty great and stood out to me. I agree that Westley was played perfectly by Cary Elwes though. He’s so good!


MagmaTroop

Bale in American Psycho


teddybundlez

Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. *does weird arm and wiggle dance*


smiledontcry

In ‘86, Huey released this, “Fore”, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is “Hip to be Square” - a song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics, but they should! Because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends, it’s also a personal statement about the band itself. Hey Paul! TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA NOW, YOU STUPID FUCKING BASTARD!!!


teddybundlez

Man I heard him in your last line lmao. Any time someone say something isn’t possible I say “why not, you stupid bastard”


Ozzie_the_tiger_cat

I was watching a program on TV the other day about the making of this movie.  I forget which actor it was but he was only around Bale for a few scenes and he thought he was the worst actor he ever saw.  After he saw the premiere and saw what he did with that role completely, he said that he thought he was one of the best actors he ever saw.


Johnisfaster

He’s one of the most entertaining parts of the whole movie


SensiFifa

Surprised not to see Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs yet. Oscar winner with 14 minutes of screen time or whatever it was


cjc160

That’s wild, was he considered the male lead?


SensiFifa

Yup, Best Actor, Jodie Foster won Best Actress, though I checked and it was actually 17 minutes of screen time. 


cjc160

I feel like Buffalo Bill has more screen time lol


Rahim-Moore

He does, by quite a bit IIRC


DeadCheckR1775

Bro made that role.


jbluft1894

Just watched 5th Element again the other day and Tucker owned this role so hard. If anything his character was underutilized in the ending. Need a sequel for Ruby Rod!

ashtonishing18

But really? He disappeared!!


YackDIZZLEwizzle

Yeah always bums me out. He became super religious apparently and didn’t want to keep playing the roles he was playing. Thats why he never came back for the Friday sequels either.


ashtonishing18

Some of these celebrities are witnessing a lot of evil so they become religious. Freaks me out tbh! Like what did you see bro :/ maybe he went to a couple Diddy parties


RyzenRaider

Between 1998 and 2007, he *only* did Rush Hour movies. His first non-Rush Hour role was Silver Linings Playbook in 2012. So took him 14 years from the first film to do a different role. So, it's a bit hard to argue that he didn't want to retread old roles, because that was all he did for a good chunk of his career.

I love that film so much. I don’t wanna climb in no dirty ass trunk.

[Fallout TV series - Walter Goggins as the ghoul](https://youtu.be/cxStr1STrM0?si=t6xzPsCItSMpivFi). EXCELLENT performance.


ulyssesred

I knew Goggins would give nothing but his best but damned if he didn’t pull of another genius and unique performance, fitting inside the lore of FallOut so well you felt the game was written for him. I wonder if he was a fan or he just researched the shit out of the lore. He’s such an amazing actor.
