Finntastique his facial expression and looks are why was chosen primarily as a bad guy in his movies especially in High Noon who against Gary Cooper, A henchmen of Lee Marvin in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and then Angel Eyes in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly among other movies.
This movie proves just how at the mercy of the director an actor is. In the right hands, Lee Van Cleef gave one of the best Western performances of all time. This movie, and Cleef's performance in it are underrated.
The way Lee Van Cleefs character always keeps calm- even when threatening the Bartender- keeping the same straight face of stoic curiosity the entire time, is a perfect way to introduce a character this cunning
Speaking as a bar manager I sympathise with the bloke behind the bar. Calloway was probably paying him a good amount to stay there incognito, then the woman in the bath's going to be downstairs asking where her money's coming from, never mind the disposal of a dead horse, and finally dealing with the shit piano player [oh, and did the head-down on the table man puke on the floor? More work!] All this on a Monday shift !
Lee's face is definitely one of the most amazing faces that graced the screen. His facial features are so refined but his look is so rugged and altogether formed such extraordinary attractiveness. So difficult to paint his face let alone capture his glamour. What a great face, as Sergio Leone put it.
It was his face leone remembered and that is why he was hired....apparently Van Cleef has been in a horrible acccident and this film rescued his career
@@gabrielirizarry4189 "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" is set before "A Few Dollars More", and although it's unclear if Clint Eastwood plays the same character due to his clothes being the same throughout, it is fairly clear Van Cleef plays 2 different people in both films.
+scrmepal No question about it. LVC was by far the most charismatic actor in westerns. He has an incomparable, elegant intensity that is a pleasure towatch. He is also sexy as hell. CE tries too hard, Lee is a natural.
they both gave it a good show, the fact both did such good performances, the shots are perfect. same with music, it just was a combination of masterpieces.
I read somewhere a long time ago, due to a tight budget, Leone used crew members or people off the street - He was stimulated by face of the common working guy. They didn't have to know how to act. He would bring a performance out of them.
@@mazawmahumblebeast586 : Oh for heavens sake, lets have a duel between them two and see who turns to stone first. I have a hunch that neither will survive the test.
You are both so right. I miss movies without filters and overexposed effects , and "shaky cams" . Simply good photographic abilities, good actors, good directors, good scripts... I could say so much more, but im sure, you both know, what i mean...
+SrTuco Agreed. Today in films it's too much about over the top, bombastic-spectacle(action wise). Not many actors I could imagine making a scene like this so utterly compelling and entertaining.
It really says something that they are referred to as "Bounty Killers" rather than "Bounty Hunters". Dead or alive isn't a question on anyone's mind in this setting.
Sewer Penguin they took it when he had a mustache, and since he's clean shaven when he kills him he looks nothing like him. I pictured him with a mustache when he looked up after his horse got shot, and there is a significant resemblance.
In an interview he talked about getting the job that set his career. When he asked which of his theatrical qualifications got him the job. The answer was they liked his squint. He learned how Hollywood worked.
Without Lee van Cleef, all these films would never have been so successful! His face - his action in all the films. He is the best! Clint is good, but Lee was better!!
I know this old post but I recently just watched movie after so many years and off course checked TH-cam just to see anyone made that correlation. Yet behold there it is Simple Jack.
One can tell they all were top notch actors. The bad guys held their own, and they played them with style and their own personalities, rather than just cooks.
I studied animation and design, and I still remember one of my cinema instructors telling the class to study Chaplin's body language and Sergio Leone's cinematography. Straight up visual storytelling.
I just realized why I enjoy watching Lee Van Cleef , he doesn't over act he stays in his lane. Basically it's what he doesn't do, like the old saying goes "watch out for the quiet ones ". Clint needed his character in these movies just like a ying yang sorta thing.
3:42 you gotta appreciate little stuff like that. That jump probably hurt like hell and you’d never see actors doing things like that in today’s films.
"This train stop at Tucumcari?" "Hmm, cross-draw holster, well maintained pistol, eyes of a killer and a fondness for black clothing that would make the grim reaper envious, plus a voice that declares badass with every deep tone. Yeah, yeah I think it probably will, yeah."
For those who don't know, Spaghetti Westerns are movies made by a series of italian directors whom essentially produced a western movie using Asian film styles and cinematography. If you like the way this movie shot and edited you would definitely enjoy Asian-made classics. You would discover a whole different world of storytelling that is enjoyable and enriching.
And, that they were filmed in Spain ( many scenes in a specially built, carefully constructed 'Wild West' town. The locations are in the Southeast Province of Almeria.
Subtle moment I didn't realize until now: When the bartender at first doesn't answer, Mortimer slumps a little (watch his arm), as if thinking, "I don't have time for this crap." Then he grabs the guy.
A mystery why the bartender, moving his eyes upward, is made to pronounce in english a different line from the original italian on, namely: "Heaven knows".
One of the best westerns, ever! I love this scene. The best part is when he unrolls his guns as a display and selects the exact gun he needs to do the job in that particular situation. The right tool for the job.
LCF has been in three of the greatest westerns: High Noon, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, and two of the Man With No Name Trilogy. He was perfect in this role. Great nose.
3:55 is one of my favourite scenes in this; it shows a lot about the mans character. Careful, prepared, READY. As any bounty hunter should be. Edit: I also like the scene @4:54, it shows how clever Van Cleef's character is!!!

They made a Character based off him in Shanghai noon with Jackie chan and Owen Wilson, the Alien bounty hunter Cad Bane from Star Wars is based off him, The Character of Big Boss and Ocelot in the Metal gear video game franchise were also inspired by him. Im sure theres more out there.
What a 1965 masterpiece of a movie, every actor is well fit to play every roll here , from the bartender to the guy playing the piano , directors today better take note of this.
+LordWellington35 Different generation. They were either born during ww1, Prohibition or the Great Depression, hard days ,and a lot of these actors would go on to fight in ww2. Even Eastwood and McQueen had military service.Way it was.
It was fine to be "boyish" all these years. The Beatles, grunge etc. But what's happened the past 10 or 15 years is a joke. It's downright gay. There's politics and media manipulation behind all this now. Call me paranoid, i'm hardened to the accusation. Jon Smith
Menacing from head to toe, some actors just have what it takes simply because of the way they look and Lee Van Cleef is one of them , a wonderful actor too.
My interpretation is that Van Cleef never considered taking this guy alive. Shoots his horse, tries to get him to draw when he wounds him with the rifle, and when the guy finally draws - he terminates him.
Yeah, I getcha. Although it seemed to me like he wasn't too hot on killing him just for the sake of it. Lee's character in this is a surgical killer but you can see he's got a heart. If he was out to kill the guy, he woulda had his gun drawn before he charged the door. Sure, he kills the horse out from under him and wings em in the shoulder, but he only draws that "business-handling" gun he has on the dude after he's shot at. Seemed like Lee was givin' em chances to come along peaceful-like and when english-teeth there used the last one up, pop pop.
I like Lee van cleef but no need to shoot poor horse, I like leader of bandits to , nice looking, sad when he dies in both films , , fist full dollars, and few dollars morr

I had never before noticed the splinters flying off the door after LVC knocked on it. I had always assumed the prop makers just put small explosives to mimic gunshots, but it looks like there was an actual gun used on this set. The holes on the inside part of the door look like it, not blast marks.
+camflex66 Freaking hilarious. I never liked that music cue either. Its a testament to how good the movie is that it didn't make Cleef look ridiculous.
Wow-- the musical "sting" that comes as Van Cleef shows his arsenal-- just brilliant. I've never seen a revolver with such a long barrel. It has to be a parody.
If we was still alive in 2019 he would be 94 and I bet he would be in a lot of new western films but sadly he’s not alive because he died in 1989 from a heart attack at age 64 / r.i.p Lee Van cleef ( 1925 - 1989 ) a good actor and a good bad guy in films 🤠🚬🔫
I loved the sharpshooters of the west. With every shot the Colonel pulled, it was accurate. A lot of people don't realize that that's how they fought in that time. There wasn't a lot of firing from the hip, except in duals. You had to make every shot count.
Van Cleef and Eastwood’s intros in this movie are so damn good you could slap the end on them and it would have been so satisfying. I haven’t been so sucked into a movie from the first 12 minutes of anything.

A good movie and one of the few where Lee Van Cleef doesn't play a villain.

The way the piano stops everytime tension increases is just genius It’s the little details like that which makes a decent scene.
And never starts again as he approached the stairs…

When you're a bounty hunter, letting the guy live after he takes a shot at you is bad for business.

I had never before noticed the splinters flying off the door after LVC knocked on it. I had always assumed the prop makers just put small explosives to mimic gunshots, but it looks like there was an actual gun used on this set. The holes on the inside part of the door look like it, not blast marks.
the sound at 3:54 means "you are f*ckin dead"
Nabil Karsheh jew's harp.....good old Snoopy played one
Nabil Karsheh 4:20 I love the echo of that gunshot. So powerful
+camflex66 Freaking hilarious. I never liked that music cue either. Its a testament to how good the movie is that it didn't make Cleef look ridiculous.
That’s the best when backgrounds characters look like normal everyday people adds a level of realism to it
Wow-- the musical "sting" that comes as Van Cleef shows his arsenal-- just brilliant. I've never seen a revolver with such a long barrel. It has to be a parody.
I imagine Leone being cautiously shown a Colt Buntline by the props department and getting annoyed. "I said it a-must be longer! Longer!"
even the breath of the saloon keeper can be seen on the glass!!! so much attention to the final detail
If we was still alive in 2019 he would be 94 and I bet he would be in a lot of new western films but sadly he’s not alive because he died in 1989 from a heart attack at age 64 / r.i.p Lee Van cleef ( 1925 - 1989 ) a good actor and a good bad guy in films 🤠🚬🔫
The look on the girls face in the bathtub is priceless: 3:12
Dat old school gunfire effect. I love it.
Love the voice overs in this film! Probably the greatest western.
What a handsome man. I've always thought so.
That sound when the rifle pack opens 💥 ahh too perfect.
Also, the scene on the train where he is mistaken for a preacher is great.
He is a preacher...of revenge.
I loved the sharpshooters of the west. With every shot the Colonel pulled, it was accurate. A lot of people don't realize that that's how they fought in that time. There wasn't a lot of firing from the hip, except in duals. You had to make every shot count.
who is on the other side of the door ? ......Oscar Pistorius ? .... 2:53
+AnderssonArad ohhhh sh.....
+AnderssonArad haha
OMG the fat guy from My Name is Earl is in this movie
hahahaha
+hallnoats4ever wait do you mean randy? or a different fat guy
I love Lee Van Cleef! One of my favorite actor's. I was very sad when he passed away.
Lioness Turner he passed away in 1989 at age 64 of a heart attack.
I still grieve for him after all these years
@@scottknode898 The same year as Sergio Leone, who was younger.
@@anguisinherba8674 that is true by 4 years and both died of heart attacks
The camera work, the way this scene is captured especially as Lee Van Cleef draws for his rifle; It's what we now know as legendary! Truly remarkable.
5:13 look how he's eye are moving after he got headshoted. It's like he's looking for the camera
Van Cleef and Eastwood’s intros in this movie are so damn good you could slap the end on them and it would have been so satisfying. I haven’t been so sucked into a movie from the first 12 minutes of anything.
