For over 40 years Val Kilmer, one of Hollywood’s most mercurial and/or misunderstood actors has been documenting his own life and craft through film and video. He has amassed thousands of hours of footage, from 16mm home movies made with his brothers, to time spent in iconic roles for blockbuster movies like Top Gun, The Doors, Tombstone, and Batman Forever. This raw, wildly original and unflinching documentary reveals a life lived to extremes and a heart-filled, sometimes hilarious look at what it means to be an artist and a complex man.
Val is a Documentary film released in 2021.

Help!
424
00:36:03,956 --> 00:36:05,644
Uh, it’s too late.
425
00:36:06,598 --> 00:36:08,475
It’s too late to stop now, Val.
426
00:36:08,500 --> 00:36:10,460
- No, I-I’m fine.
- All right.
427
00:36:10,878 --> 00:36:12,396
You having fun?
428
00:36:17,970 --> 00:36:19,581
It’s too late, Val.

<i>My father was born in Texas,</i>
430
00:36:26,899 --> 00:36:29,577
<i>but raised on Native American land
in New Mexico.</i>

00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:31,827
<i>When we were kids,</i>
432
00:36:31,852 --> 00:36:34,890
<i>he brought my brothers and I there
to visit my grandfather’s grave.</i>
433
00:36:36,127 --> 00:36:42,242

a beautiful life there together.</i>
436
00:36:49,369 --> 00:36:53,027
This is the reason I’m here,
and it’s the reason you’re here.
437
00:36:53,051 --> 00:36:53,837
What?
438
00:36:53,862 --> 00:36:55,939
My daddy, Gene Kilmer.
439
00:36:56,300 --> 00:36:59,618
He spawned me now some 28 years ago.
440
00:36:59,635 --> 00:37:01,812
- Yeah, about that.
- Mm-hmm.
441

Well, we’re gonna go cut the cake, Pop.
442
00:37:04,139 --> 00:37:06,183
Okay, I’ll be with you.
443
00:37:55,255 --> 00:37:56,298
Okay.
444
00:38:42,488 --> 00:38:45,652
He’s freaked out and he said
he saw the bogeyman, okay?
445
00:38:46,592 --> 00:38:49,300
So I took it away for him. That’s all.
446
00:38:49,911 --> 00:38:51,788
I took it away.
447
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,073
That’s all I’m saying.
448
00:38:55,557 --> 00:39:00,839
<i>Though I had starred in a few films,
I was hardly walking in Brando’s footsteps.</i>
449
00:39:01,230 --> 00:39:03,823
<i>The best character roles
were few and far between.</i>
450
00:39:04,594 --> 00:39:07,447
<i>So I’d go out of my way
to make audition tapes</i>
451
00:39:07,472 --> 00:39:11,011
<i>for directors that I wanted to work with,
for roles that I wanted to play.</i>
452
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,780
Marines are not allowed to die
without permission.
453
00:39:18,043 --> 00:39:19,519
’Cause we are...
454
00:39:21,250 --> 00:39:22,902
...government property.
455
00:39:23,319 --> 00:39:25,714
<i>I made multiple tapes for Stanley Kubrick</i>
456
00:39:25,739 --> 00:39:28,067
<i>when I heard he was making
Full Metal Jacket.</i>
457
00:39:28,092 --> 00:39:30,660
I’m gonna give you about four takes
with some different voices.
458
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,223
I sure do like shooting people.
459
00:39:36,316 --> 00:39:39,159
I sure do like shooting people.
460
00:39:41,938 --> 00:39:44,050
I sure do like shooting people.
461
00:39:44,942 --> 00:39:47,089
I sure do like killing people.
462
00:39:47,941 --> 00:39:51,348
<i>I even flew 6,000 miles
to hand-deliver it in person.</i>
463
00:39:51,373 --> 00:39:55,766
I’m in England now for a couple of days
because I made a film here last year
464
00:39:55,790 --> 00:39:57,938
and I still have a ticket back.
465
00:39:57,963 --> 00:40:00,966
And I thought that I would come by and...
466
00:40:02,340 --> 00:40:04,419
...see how you felt about this.
467
00:40:05,223 --> 00:40:07,864
<i>I also made a film for Martin Scorsese,</i>
468
00:40:07,889 --> 00:40:10,425
<i>where I played Henry Hill
around the time of Goodfellas.</i>
469
00:40:10,450 --> 00:40:12,285
The feds spent so much money to hook me.
470
00:40:12,310 --> 00:40:15,026
They had wiretaps, surveillance,
helicopters.
471
00:40:15,051 --> 00:40:17,265
They had a list a mile long for him.
472
00:40:17,290 --> 00:40:20,585
I had a lot of money out on the street
to collect, several scores to wrap up.
473
00:40:20,610 --> 00:40:25,674
I mean, I was really scrambling the
last days there. It was very dangerous.
474
00:40:26,379 --> 00:40:28,393
<i>Those attempts didn’t work.</i>
475
00:40:28,418 --> 00:40:31,027
<i>But when I heard
they were making a Doors movie,</i>
476
00:40:31,059 --> 00:40:33,512
<i>not playing Jim was not an option.</i>
477
00:40:34,349 --> 00:40:37,504
