Doc has to be my favorite character of all time in western movies. Not even the main character and he’s that good. Every line he has is an amazing quote to use irl. Badass alcoholic that’s dying and and is an absolute gun slinger…. Who’s your favorite

Recommendation Perfectly Edited 😂

Someone combined scenes from THE THREE AMIGOS (1986) with TOMBSTONE (1993), and the result feels weirdly accurate the second the characters start walking together. The dramatic cowboy energy, slow pacing, and confident entrance somehow make the comedy edit look like it belonged in the original movie all along.

Fans instantly love how naturally the scenes match despite both films having completely different tones and intentions. The serious Western atmosphere from TOMBSTONE mixed with the awkward charm of THE THREE AMIGOS creates a hilarious contrast that has made viewers rewatch the edit multiple times online.

TOMBSTONE was released in 1993 and became one of the most iconic Western films ever made, starring Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer. THE THREE AMIGOS arrived years earlier in 1986 as a comedic parody of classic Westerns, which is exactly why the unexpected crossover ends up feeling so funny and strangely perfect.

Route to bankruptcy? Doubt that. I genuinely can't believe the disinterest in this film. I liked it and couldn't wait for the next parts.

I'm 11 chapters into Lonesome Dove right now, and get this news. 😪 He really brought one of the greatest characters to life in an incredible way.

I’ve been watching this film since the late 90’s. Seen it countless times but it’s my first watch in about 4 years. I’ve always remembered Val Kilmers performance as a stand out in a very well acted film. Michael Biehns performance also extremely good. Vals acting in this is flawless. Absolutely flawless. He was robbed in my opinion. Like Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler. RIP Val. You were a very talented guy.

Robert Duvall on his Facebook — “It took me 10 days to read Lonesome Dove and 16 weeks to shoot it. Definitely one of the highlights of my life.”

As you can see, Mr. Duvall is getting up there in years (he’s 94 now), and although his two most recent films were released in 2022, it sounds like his acting days may unfortunately be over. I wonder how much longer he’ll be with us.

Something that stuck out to me was the sound design. It’s a very quiet movie with no music (or none that I can remember at least) and how brutal the noises we do get are

Discussion Tuco was what gave charm to The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. Without him, it would be just another good western, but he is what makes it a masterpiece.
