Very sad news today, Godspeed Val!!!

 

[Grey Havoc]

Not a great year for those of us who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s.

Rest In Peace.

"You can be my wingman anytime"....RIP Iceman

 

[VishnuOsiris]

Tombstone is one of my all-time favorites, up there with A Few Dollars More. I'll always remember him as Doc Holliday. Godspeed, Iceman. RIP

R.I.P Van Kilmer.

 

[Dynoman]

Versatile actor. From Iceman to Jim Morrison of the Doors to Batman and many other colorful characters, he certainly was not afraid to take on unusual and interesting roles. Godspeed!

He was also in Heat, Michael Mann magnum opus.

That firefight scene - so realistic, so terrifying.

Val Kilmer defined in one sentence, indeed.

 

[TomcatViP]

I always see him and his partner, Ashley Judd, in that movie as the most vibrant characters and best actors.

Heat had also a phenomenal reach, particularly outside of the US where thunderous armed bank robberies with heavy gunfights was somewhat seldom known at the time (but not in LA that had hundreds a year at some points! - see below).

I always also appreciate the end sequence, when De Niro is chased by Alpacino in a remake of the famous airport scene from Bullitt (nothing to do with Val Kimler, sadly).

Sad day, indeed.

Rest in peace, Iceman!
this scene from Top Gun: Maverick will never be the same again, to me.

I guess you were a bit sicker than you let on, Doc.

RIP Val, see you treading the boards in Heaven.
