Val's movie injuries 🥺🩹
1. The doors

Val broke his arm while filming The Doors (1991) when he performed a jump from the stage into the crowd and the stuntman failed to catch him. The injury has left him with an abnormal growth on his left elbow that can clearly be seen in Heat (1995) And the salton sea (2002).😥

2. Willow
As explained on the audio commentary that accompanies home media releases of Willow, when the star was dismounting from the crow cage prop in-between takes, the chain holding it aloft broke. This sent the heavy cage crashing down on Kilmer’s foot, resulting in a painful (but fortunately, not permanent) injury. Madmartigan is tougher than we even knew.🥰

3. The ghost and the darkness

In the movie press conference Val mentioned lightheartedly that one of the lions gave him a small wound on his arm saying " He was very kind..He also gave me this" 😂
