Joe Kucan (Kane) mentioned a bit about his dealings with Udo Kier in his ama (C&P) I remember wrapping up the final shots of Yuri's Revenge at 2am in the morning. And then Udo, the actor who portrayed Yuri, had another hour and a half in the makeup chair having his prosthetic pieces carefully removed. I sat with him the whole time, not wanting to bail on such a dedicated actor even though by then I had been on set for 26 hours. Udo pulled out a bottle of vodka that he had swiped from the hotel and we drank a series of toasts - to videogames, Andy Warhol (with whom he had worked back in the day), death rays and Roman Polanski (who had produced one of Udo's first movies.). He was a little put out when I refused to drink to Polanski. Udo had such a smooth, soft voice and he would always refer to me as "my director." My heart would glow a little every time he would say that - "my director." You can see Yuri any time you like: just Google "Udo Kier". He's been in every movie ever made.
+Steel Perfect it is kinda hypocritical to say fuck EA in the same thread which RA is brought about, afterall, without EA there wouldn't be any red alert game, as the idea for red alert came from ea, and westwood was 'forced' to make the game, but without ea command and conquer would be a series to compete with starcraft, who knows, one can only speculate
Cool. I can still remember most of his gameplay lines from memory all these years later. "thoughts received", "look deeply into my eyes", "of course", "predictable", etc.
Respect to westwood and all staff for one of the most entertaining game i've ever played in its time. I keep listening to RA2 OST till this day and heck i installed the game again and played it to bring the nostalgia. In short.. THANKS A MILLION!
Westwood studios, you made a legendary game and something I'll forever remember for its fun, excellent multiplayer and just so much beauty put into a strategy game. To anyone out there who might know an old Westwood's studio worker, be sure to give them a hug from a huge fan of this game. ^_^
Thanks I was always wishing for more of the command and conquer actors to have done a live action movie. The quality of their presentation was so good. I remember going through the games trying to see all the actors.
He is also in My Own Private Idaho where he sings his own song in front of River Phoenix [RIP] and Keanu Reeves's characters (that song is called Der Adler).
All of this amazing effort they went through for a game that is still played to this day, still modded to this day & most importantly still loved to this day.
fun fact: this is the same actor who also played one the vampire elders in "Blade" the one that gets burned by sunlight at dawn by the pancaked face main villian of the movie, but that role itself is actually a reference to one his earlier roles when he played the titular character in the 1974 Andy Warhol "Dracula" movie
I didn't even know there was so much makeup behind it, i really want to thank him for going through with this back then, it brought joy to so many people.
My father, before he took farming as a hobby, hyperbolically played this game 24 hours a day. He used to have his own jargon. He says ‘convince the enemy’ instead of ‘mind-control’, etc. He eventually got fed up with it and now has turned to Facebook and farming for diversion.
R.I.P. Westwood Studios, the true innovators of the RTS genre of gaming (fuck you blizzard, you didn't invent shit. You just copy & pasted). 1985 - 2003
Some Drunk Asshole EA tried to "POLISH," the "POLISHED," because they wanted to be part of every progressive game producing company, and backstab them so they could get all the money. That! Is there agenda, continuing until now. BLIZZARD came after Westwood's new game : C&C 2, which was a controversial competition, well, tbh, Westwood won... Cause of RA 1-2, and Tiberian Sun additions...
Angelie Pamela Bomogao Red Alert 3 was still pretty faithful to be honest and wasn't bad, but then Tiberian Twilight was just the worst trash ever. Now they just sacked it.
2nd best role in the series. Stalin from RA1 was the best.

I don't think so. It was pretty bad at times. The scene where he 'strangled' another officer was laughable. Fake anger, a grip that can't possibly strangle someone.... You could argue it was pretty much the pre-search engine era so research was more difficult, but it wouldn't have taken an hour to run down to whatever fighting sports centres were nearby and ask them to show how the actor to mimic an actual stranglehold.
Both characters are extremely great and their actors are just amazing. Its a shame only Kane gets so much support while Yuri only has one game (two if you count the expansion I guess)
It's incredible to see that before we used real quality actors for cutscenes and the storyline of a game. This actor is a VERY GOOD actor. THERE are other good actors in the Commander Conquer series. Frankly, I really miss it
What I enjoy doing Yuri against Russians and Allied teamed against me. Make sure I have 10 Dominators and get all their Battle Fortresses and Apoc Tanks. (*And Yuri Prime their Construction Yard for Kirovs :3*)
+Daniel Ryan It is possible to build more superweapons by editing a game file. However, it won't actually do anything (aside from guzzling base power); the reason for this is because the structure isn't technically a superweapon, it only unlocks the superweapon.

I would too. But it has to happen after EA goes bankrupt or gets absorbed by some actually decent game studio.
I just want red alert 3 to be redone cuz it was trash. In all honesty I think the mod for RA2 called Mental Omega is the true successor of the series
not if EA still owns the title

When Red Alert was awesome.
They were all awesome. It's just that some of them were more awesome than others.
*Communism Intensifies*
Umm its still awesome
A game thats respected all over the world!! Red Alert 2 was the one
Those 124 dislikes were people who got mind controlled and hit the wrong button.
Yuri is a russian villain, but has a german accent. Zis is not right!
yeah but eastern germany was allied with the soviet union so
And he hides in Transylvania in a later mission
Its make sense since east germany was one of the member of warsaw pact which led by soviet union
Dotting Quill red alert is a different timeline where Hitler gets removed by Einstein
No Hitler no nazis no seperation of Germany.
But he looks like Lenin
sad thing is he wont truly know how awesome Yuri was to an 11 year old

Yuri has got to be one of the coolest characters in C&C history... Only second to Kane, of course.

Or as some kind of Russian official on House of Cards.
All, hail Yuri, king of the gamers and the make-up artists, first of his name...
Awesome game. Yuri was such a creative villain.

The dedication in making games was on a different level back then. The golden age of PC gaming for sure.
