Ikrani yeah, most of the time playing the villain, especially an over the top disney villain is the best role ever. look at Vincent Price as Ratagin in the Great Mouse Detective.
Kevin Murphy Well, Vincent Price DID say that Ratigan was his all-time favorite role. Makes sense, seeing as his favorite live-action role was as Egghead on Batman.
Sheesh this was a terrifying villain. And to think, he actually had the sympathy to let Cody go at the beginning until he noticed Marahute's feather. He kidnaps and nearly kills an innocent child. I swear this guy is on par with Frollo. Too bad nobody really talks about this guy. O well this is still one of my favorite Disney movies.
He let him go so he doesnt start snooping around accusing and correctly guessing that hes a poacher and dangerous one. Once he saw the feather he saw his latest conquest. What i dont get is what he kept the animals he caught tied and chained. I assumed he would have sold them off long ago and got whatever money he would for them.
He figured he could fool Cody (a very small child) so that the kid would leave and not be a problem. Given Cody is smart enough to not be fooled yet dumb enough to not read the situation. Had McLeach not seen the feather think about this... He was about to shoot Joanna... Right next to Cody... With a double barrel shotgun. One shot for Joanna and the other... He did use the crocs to fool the Rangers after all and WAS going to feed Cody to them.
"Joanna~! Did you know...that there was a razorback in my truck? Didya? DIDYA?! *THERE WAS A RAZORBACK IN MY TRUCK!*" Favorite line from this movie. X3
***** agreed :) people think the movie is bad because this is a number 2, like the little mermaid 2... but no, it's a full movie :) Imagine if the lion king 2 came first, then the 1 come after, it's the same effect here... the rescuer down under is clearly greater :D it's also a rare disney without SONGS, when you go to disneyland you don't even see this movie... I really don't know why :( not even a reference :( :( :( The movie is maybe to hard for kids in 2014, the villain put a gun on a kid, then he jails the kid, use animal (they probably all die in jail at end...) the scene with the "doctors" also uses gun... But wait, I'm saying shit, captain hook kills a pirate and no one cares!!! xD WATCH THIS MOVIE PEOPLE!!!
FoxMaster Of course, Disney movies WITH songs would more likely be remembered than Disney films like this and Atlantis, because they are what made the Disney Renaissance and franchise successful along with the Disney Princess.
Probably the MOST underrated villain Disney's ever made! He should appear in the 'Descendants'- verse (Hell, maybe I could play him), I could see him having a son who'd be a trigger- happy sociopath.
Mcleach adds a degree of slimy and sinister realism to the film due to his status as a poacher. His temper swings also add to his unpleasant character. Still, George C. Scott delivered a spectacular performance going full ham and cheese while clearly having a fun time.
That song that McLeach sings is so disturbingly chilly. Wish that was included here. " Home, home, on the range! Where Critters are tied up in chains I cut through their sides and rip off their hides And the next day I do it again! Everybody!"
WLHamontree he dresses up as an Aussie "cowboy" so I don't think he is. Plus, no Aussie character here has an Aussie accent. So McLeach is hardly unique at this.
Funny you mention that טום אליכין because with casting McLeach Paul Hogan from Crocodile Dundee was considered the role as also Clint Eastwood and Mandy Patinkin.
All hail George C. Scott! God, this guy is one of the greatest Disney villains ever, and is the most underrated. I mean, look at 'im! He spends the entire film tormenting a CHILD and makes it clear that he kills animals more for pleasure than money, though the latter is a nice bonus.
What’s scary is bad guys like McLeach do exist in the world even today. Cody could have just lied to McLeach and told him “oh thanks for getting me out mr!” And run home to tell his mother to call the rangers.
Not to mention the original Megatron, Abu the monkey… and like thousands of other roles. He’s known as something of a god in the voice acting community 😆
medusa - kidnapped a orphan to get a diamond since she can fit in a hole McLeach - kidnapped a boy to extract information of a rare bird since the boy freed the bird yeah, McLeach seems more realistic since he resembles a cruel poacher
McLeach is similar to his predecessor, Madame Medusa. They both kidnap a little child to get an item they want to become rich. They both have vicious pets. Both have shotguns. Also they both end up being chased by crocodiles in the climax of their movie. McLeach is more evil than Madame Medusa because he wanted to kill the child he kidnapped and madame medusa did not.
“Did you take one of my eggs???” (Joanna Shakes Her Head) “Open your mouth.” (Joanna opens her mouth and hides egg behind her tongue) “These are not Joanna eggs!”
Fun fact: in earlier scripts of the film mcleach was going to be killed by a pack of dingos but they deleted this scene because it was to bloody for the young ones and I understand that.
Definitely one of the best Disney villains for me! George C Scott is putting his everything into it! I wouldn't be surprised if he improvised some of his own dialogue.
I remember when this first came out, the animation blew me away. It was so clean and the environment so large. I guess this is when they first used computers to help with the vehicles movement etc. which added a really creepy destructive mechanical feel to it while he's out ravaging nature essentially.
Well if Percival C. McLeach was Dead and Buried Cody's Mom would tell him to Grave Robb him by digging with a shovel open the coffin and take the money out of his wallet take the the $100,000 Rings off his fingers and his $30,000 Watch so Cody can trade them all in for a Brand New Backpack
E la criminalità umana ma qui ci sono alcuni idizi del suo tradimento Mecleach e un impostore ha cercato di uccidere cody già a inizio film non e uno dei miei cattivi disney preferiti ma era terribile più di Medusa ma quando mecleach scopre che cody ha la piume di Marahute fa di tutto e tutto per ucciderlo povero bambino ma menomale che bianca e bernie lo hanno salvato in tempo mecleach era ormai senza scappo perché ha rubato anche a tutti i animali della zona oltre a cody ma lui non era già arrestato dato che era ricercato da tutti e in più mecleach alla fine riceve la sia morte cadde a morte dalla cascata e se le meritato per quello che ha fatto a cody questo è per tutto fare le cose brutte i cacciatori avidi esistono sempre anche nella realtà che paura ma mecleach mi era simpatico
I feel like Mcleach is one of the more realistic villains of Disney media because there are real life poachers out there hunting and killing countless innocent animals. Having Mcleach own a pet also makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Hunters and poachers use hunting dogs to track down their prey.
No, it's George Patton. He faked his death in 1945 and moved to Australia to hunt for a living, not content now that the war ended and Ike wouldn't move against the reds.
Gabriel Perrella Not really. He came from a family which had a fair military tradition. His ancestors fought in the Civil War. He fought in both world wars and had quite an old fashioned, romantic view on warfare. However, that meant he didn't believe in PTSD or combat fatigue, believing it to be cowardice on the soldier's part. At one point he even slapped a soldier who was suffering from PTSD across the face, nearly ruining his career. He also wanted to start another war with the Soviets using German POWs, believing them to be the true threat. He wasn't wrong, but he wasn't totally right either.
I think the reason I like him so much is that he doesn’t feel at all like a Disney villain there’s something very realistic about him I’m not sure what it is
Maybe the fact that people like him, poachers that will resort to extreme lengths of violence and even murder to get what they want, actually do exist in real life. I mean, as evil as villains like Maleficent or the Horned King are, people can rest easy knowing that at the end of the day, they’re still fictional characters. People like Mcleach actually do exist in real life.
@@thomashuffman3237 I must agree with you. And let’s not forget crime bosses like Sykes, Wilson Fisk and Jason Wynn from spawn. Including corrupt government officials like Kent mansley and frollo
George C. Scott really made this role. He was an amazing actor when he was alive and really gave McLeach that super-creepy vibe. Like other people have pointed out too, the reason that McLeach is such a believable villain is because someone like him really could exist, with how prominent poaching still is across the world.
I've always thought that McLeach and Madame Medusa from the first film were a divorced couple and thought that was the reason why they each appeared in separate films rather than together.
R.I.P George C.Scott. he did another one of my favorite villians McLeach. He did a fabulous job as this villian I couldn't have imagined anyone else doing this voice but him. :)
Ok, people, stop giving poor Cody crap about what he should have done to avoid getting captured by McLeach. At least Cody was brave enough to even stand up to him! Most kids would have been scared and beg for mercy, but Cody put up a hell of a fight throughout the movie! Sure it wasn't much, but at least he had courage to try and do everything in his power to try and stop McLeach, even if it wasn't much, and that's an honorable intention of itself! And sure, he was scared, I don't know a kid who wouldn't be, but he didn't let that fear take over him, and he kept a level head to try and escape. Heck, he was more worried for Marahute's safety (apologies if I spelled it wrong) than for his own! I mean come on, how many kids do you know would jump off a cliff to try to rip open the net?
You are right about Cody, I do wish the Disney crew were going to do a pre-sequel of THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER to tell us about Cody's earlier background and witness the death of his father. Cody may have the adventurous time of his life, but there is a lot of important things he has to remember. I bet Cody's father told him at less eight times never to climb up on high cliffs or canyons. I could see Cody having a few sad tears his eyes after he was reunited with his mom. And he would say, "Mum, mum I'm so sorry for leaving you, I promise I'll never go to the outback again for a few years, I love you mum." And it's a good thing to see how much his mother cares about him and she would never say, "THE DINGO ATE MY BABY!!!" but she would say, "I love you too Cody, just don't go out there again without my permission."
One of the BEST Disney movies ever in my opinion. I saw this in 1991 (when it was first released to Australian cinemas). It is has always been a very underrated Disney movie but then, all three of my favourite animated Disney movies are underrated - “The Fox and the Hound”, “Oliver and Company” and “The Rescuers Down Under”. I saw all three of those movies at the cinema when I was a kid. “The Fox and the Hound” was rereleased to cinemas in 1988 (which was the year that I saw it). My two favourite Disney villains of all time are this guy (Percival McLeach) and Sykes from “Oliver and Company”. [I did not include “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” which has always been my favourite Disney movie - because it is only partly Disney / partly animated. “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” was another movie that I saw at the cinema when it was first released in 1988. Judge Doom is right up there with McLeach and Sykes as one of my favourite villains of all time.]
McLeach was actually both intelligent but also at times not so bright. McLeach cleverly threw Cody's rucksack into the river to fool both the Rangers and Cody's mother he was 'killed by the crocodiles'. However he outright admitted to Cody he killed Marahute's mate which was the worst thing he could had done. Had he just left Cody run off and no say anything Cody would obviously never have discovered he killed Marahute's mate and McLeach put himself in a catch 22 situation. Because Cody now knew the truth McLeach didn't just kidnap him to 'help' him find Marahute and her nest but to keep him from telling the Rangers what he did. And even though it is implied he doesn't hesitate to kill children especially as he was enjoying it in a sadstistic manner with his singing and teasing the crocodiles, he had no other choice but to kill him. With Cody dead his secret would stay with him.
@inakamoto I mean considering the tools he has he'd need a solid understanding of engineering as I'm sure he built all of his traps and knew how to outfit his truck and hideout to be as perfect as possible
Okay seriously, am I the only one who feels like Joanna comes off as a beaten spouse in half of her scenes with McLeach? That poor lizard needs a hug, seriously :(
McLeach - I'll split the money with you 50/50 you can't get a better offer than that boy. Cody - You won't have any money after the rangers get through with you. Well said Cody!
This is the reason why The Rescuers Down Under is superior to the original, and the best part is that this sequel is canon because it was made by the WDAS, and McLeach is an official member of the Disney Villains.
he’s so underrated and he is literally my favorite Disney Villain, like ever. I just have to lie and say it’s Jafar because I feel like ppl will be like: “who?” (I still like Jafar tho)
McLeach gets the prize for coolest vehicle driven by a villain. George C. Scott is awesome in the role. "The Rescuers Down Under" is one of Disney's most underrated films.
Jonanna is Goanna lizard I read that on the internet. at first I though Joanna was Komodo Dragon but I was wrong. in a way I always like it when Disney villains have pets. makes me wish Cruella devil had a pet of her own in 101 Dalmatians Disney movies and that includes Horace and Jasper.
Jaakko Keskinen McLeach is shown to be much braver than Captain Hook! McLeach fought the crocodiles while Hook always cowered and fled from Tic-Toc the crocodile.
3:10 - 3:15 My brother after hearing he finally has the chance to see one of the movies he never got to see in theaters, only for his mom to turn it down.
Yah he was a dam good villain. But I can honestly say even as a child I was not sad when he died. Normally I try to look in to the to try to understand what sent them down such a bad path ,but this one... I just never found much. Other than he didn't get very far in school and clearly didn't like animals very much. Entill he found out how much money he can make poaching. So sad. But really good villain.
Okay, George C. Scott is having waaaaay too much fun voicing this guy.
I don't blame him. He's an awesome villain.
Ikrani yeah, most of the time playing the villain, especially an over the top disney villain is the best role ever. look at Vincent Price as Ratagin in the Great Mouse Detective.

I think you mean "decency" or "pragmatism."
As much as I really hate poachers, Mcleach seems like he would be a cool guy to have a beer with.
He does.

Probably the MOST underrated villain Disney's ever made!
He should appear in the 'Descendants'- verse (Hell, maybe I could play him), I could see him having a son who'd be a trigger- happy sociopath.

Where Critters are tied up in chains
I cut through their sides and rip off their hides
And the next day I do it again! Everybody!"
Look it up its their
I see where Disney got the title of Home on the Range from. Lol.
My favorite part is: everybody 😂
Ironically, George C Scott was a noted animal lover!
George C. Scott did a great job lending his voice and likeness to portray the character of McLeach.
Indeed. To bad he has no Aussie accent as Mcleach is supposed to be Australian.
WLHamontree he dresses up as an Aussie "cowboy" so I don't think he is. Plus, no Aussie character here has an Aussie accent. So McLeach is hardly unique at this.
Funny you mention that טום אליכין because with casting McLeach Paul Hogan from Crocodile Dundee was considered the role as also Clint Eastwood and Mandy Patinkin.

Greatest Disney Villain Ever.
I can't believe they put Sniper TF2 in a Disney movie
medusa - kidnapped a orphan to get a diamond since she can fit in a hole
McLeach - kidnapped a boy to extract information of a rare bird since the boy freed the bird
yeah, McLeach seems more realistic since he resembles a cruel poacher
Medusa kidnapped a girl she thought no one would want or miss. That's why she had absolutely no regard for her safety or her life.
I like both Medusa and McLeach but McLeach is a better villain.
McLeach is similar to his predecessor, Madame Medusa. They both kidnap a little child to get an item they want to become rich. They both have vicious pets. Both have shotguns. Also they both end up being chased by crocodiles in the climax of their movie. McLeach is more evil than Madame Medusa because he wanted to kill the child he kidnapped and madame medusa did not.
Medusa was chased by her crocodiles.
Marvin The Maniacal Dancing Ape We do not know whether Madame Medusa was eaten by her crocodiles or escaped because it was not shown.
Very likely, she was eaten cause she might have lost her grip from the pole she was hanging on to.
Shotguns? Madam Medusa had a automatic carbine, Mcleach had a 700 Nitro express scoped and a pump action rifle.
McLeach and Madame Medusa would make a great couple.
George C. Scott sounds like he's having a blast with this character. Sometimes it's fun to just let loose and go f-cking crazy.
"Joanna?"
"Did you know there a razorback in my truck?"
Did ya?...Did ya?!"
"THERE WAS A RAZORBACK IN MY TRUCK!!!!!!"

McLeach is one of my favorite villains he is underrated. He definitely should be apart of the great Disney Villains.

Sure it wasn't much, but at least he had courage to try and do everything in his power to try and stop McLeach, even if it wasn't much, and that's an honorable intention of itself! And sure, he was scared, I don't know a kid who wouldn't be, but he didn't let that fear take over him, and he kept a level head to try and escape. Heck, he was more worried for Marahute's safety (apologies if I spelled it wrong) than for his own! I mean come on, how many kids do you know would jump off a cliff to try to rip open the net?
I always imagined that Cody was McLeach's son (unbeknownst to either one of them, of course) so he has the same fighting spirit.
You are right about Cody, I do wish the Disney crew were going to do a pre-sequel of THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER to tell us about Cody's earlier background and witness the death of his father. Cody may have the adventurous time of his life, but there is a lot of important things he has to remember. I bet Cody's father told him at less eight times never to climb up on high cliffs or canyons. I could see Cody having a few sad tears his eyes after he was reunited with his mom. And he would say, "Mum, mum I'm so sorry for leaving you, I promise I'll never go to the outback again for a few years, I love you mum." And it's a good thing to see how much his mother cares about him and she would never say, "THE DINGO ATE MY BABY!!!" but she would say, "I love you too Cody, just don't go out there again without my permission."
RomanceFreak my slow ass would've been dead
RomanceFreak meee
RomanceFreak i'm too scared to fight
Makes me laugh every time McLeach falls in his own trap after when Joanna tackled cody
But I must say he's a good villain for inspiration
Joanna’s also the reason he fell off the cliff at the end
One of the BEST Disney movies ever in my opinion. I saw this in 1991 (when it was first released to Australian cinemas). It is has always been a very underrated Disney movie but then, all three of my favourite animated Disney movies are underrated - “The Fox and the Hound”, “Oliver and Company” and “The Rescuers Down Under”. I saw all three of those movies at the cinema when I was a kid. “The Fox and the Hound” was rereleased to cinemas in 1988 (which was the year that I saw it). My two favourite Disney villains of all time are this guy (Percival McLeach) and Sykes from “Oliver and Company”.
[I did not include “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” which has always been my favourite Disney movie - because it is only partly Disney / partly animated. “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” was another movie that I saw at the cinema when it was first released in 1988. Judge Doom is right up there with McLeach and Sykes as one of my favourite villains of all time.]
Holy cow! I just now learned that McLeach was voiced by George C. Scott. The character just got 1,000 times better instantly.
fun fact- the voice actor as McLeach also voiced in Smoke in the Cartoon All-Stars To The Rescue film (D.A.R.E. Cartoon Video) :)
and patton and dr stranglove to
Smoke Daddy
McLeach was actually both intelligent but also at times not so bright.
McLeach cleverly threw Cody's rucksack into the river to fool both the Rangers and Cody's mother he was 'killed by the crocodiles'.
However he outright admitted to Cody he killed Marahute's mate which was the worst thing he could had done. Had he just left Cody run off and no say anything Cody would obviously never have discovered he killed Marahute's mate and McLeach put himself in a catch 22 situation. Because Cody now knew the truth McLeach didn't just kidnap him to 'help' him find Marahute and her nest but to keep him from telling the Rangers what he did.
And even though it is implied he doesn't hesitate to kill children especially as he was enjoying it in a sadstistic manner with his singing and teasing the crocodiles, he had no other choice but to kill him. With Cody dead his secret would stay with him.
"I didn't make it all the way through 3rd grade for nothing."
- McLeach
@inakamoto I mean considering the tools he has he'd need a solid understanding of engineering as I'm sure he built all of his traps and knew how to outfit his truck and hideout to be as perfect as possible
8:26 Scared Johanna out of her mind there, Mcleach
9:14, 9:30 it's hard to believe that old dog has it in him to fight man eating crocs
Okay seriously, am I the only one who feels like Joanna comes off as a beaten spouse in half of her scenes with McLeach? That poor lizard needs a hug, seriously :(
Am I the only one that simply loves the 2 orchestra hits that always announces Mcleach's entrance?
I never realized that this was George C Scott until last year.
I didn't know it was George C. Scott until 2008.
"I didn't make it all the way through third grade for nothing!" Wtf lmao
Makes you wonder what he did LOL
McLeach - I'll split the money with you 50/50 you can't get a better offer than that boy.
Cody - You won't have any money after the rangers get through with you.
Well said Cody!
Love the bit between him and Joanna about eggs! It's so darn funny!
This is the reason why The Rescuers Down Under is superior to the original, and the best part is that this sequel is canon because it was made by the WDAS, and McLeach is an official member of the Disney Villains.
McLeach is awfully underrated and forgotten Disney villain
he’s so underrated and he is literally my favorite Disney Villain, like ever. I just have to lie and say it’s Jafar because I feel like ppl will be like: “who?” (I still like Jafar tho)
Fun Fact: This is the first Disney animated sequel.
RIP George C. Scott (October 18, 1927 - September 22, 1999), aged 71
You will be remembered as a legend
One of my top favorite villains . :D
George C. Scott provided an awesome voice for this character.
Quote from this movie:
"I didn't make it all the way through third grade for nothing"
George c Scott must have had lots of great fun playing mcleach in rescuers 2
McLeach is my favorite Disney villain.
Snipen's a good job mate
OMG I laughed so hard at your comment, that I wheezed! X"DDD
I will never look at McLeach the same way again! XD
Now, if only he was Australian...

Then you'll love these edits I made...

OMG X"DDD I now feel inclined to show these to my friends. XD
Hopefully, they'll get the references. ^^"
"Because, at the end of the day, as long as there's two people left on the planet...someone is gonna want someone dead..." XD
McLeach gets the prize for coolest vehicle driven by a villain. George C. Scott is awesome in the role. "The Rescuers Down Under" is one of Disney's most underrated films.
Am I the only one who thinks Joanna is kind of cute? XD For a giant lizard....or whatever she is exactly
Jonanna is Goanna lizard I read that on the internet. at first I though Joanna was Komodo Dragon but I was wrong.
in a way I always like it when Disney villains have pets. makes me wish Cruella devil had a pet of her own in 101 Dalmatians Disney movies and that includes Horace and Jasper.
She kind of reminds me of my dog. Right down to the stealing of food.
I feel so bad for her. Her interactions with McLeach make her seem like a beaten spouse.
@@CJCroen1393 its sad.
@@CJCroen1393 According to Joanna's wiki, she WAS originally supposed to be a human, and McLeach's girlfriend, so yeah, I can see it.
Believe it or not this was my very first memory of George C. Scott.
Saint318 Mine too because I was born the year this came out
@@Dr.Disney I saw the Rescuers down under when I was a kid.
I always loved his sarcastic reaction to Cody saying his mum will call the rangers. 1:37 XD
Mcleach has probably the best last words ever (unless you count the big no! right when he falls to his death): "Ha! I whooped ya! I whooped ya all!"
Jaakko Keskinen McLeach is shown to be much braver than Captain Hook! McLeach fought the crocodiles while Hook always cowered and fled from Tic-Toc the crocodile.
his poacher truck is called the Bushwacker
Next we have Percival and Joanna in the Bushwacker, Only on Wacky Races...
OMG! I saw this as a kid but I never knew that was George C. Scott. Awesome.
3:10 - 3:15
My brother after hearing he finally has the chance to see one of the movies he never got to see in theaters, only for his mom to turn it down.
This was my favorite movie~!
RIP
George C. Scott
(1927-1999).
Yah he was a dam good villain. But I can honestly say even as a child I was not sad when he died. Normally I try to look in to the to try to understand what sent them down such a bad path ,but this one... I just never found much. Other than he didn't get very far in school and clearly didn't like animals very much. Entill he found out how much money he can make poaching. So sad. But really good villain.
One of my fav disney villains of all time, him and Sykes from Oliver and Company
Yeah me too
5:16-5:25
Ok that ominous tune right here creeps the heck out of me. Like its signaling that the monster is about to be unleashed
Ahhhhhhh! The nostalgia alarms! They're ringing!
McLeach reminds me of my Dad :P
(He's obviously not cruel like McLeach but his Sense of humor and the JOANNA part :P
Fred: well gang looks like we got another mystery on our hands
This is the movie that introduced me to George C Scott
Me to
