    The good the bad and the ugly. Perfection. It's so disgusting how that movie didn't win any academy awards at the time. A masterpiece

    As a young girl I absolutely LOVED Lee Van Cleef. He was my first CRUSH! I fell for his sexy villainous look when dad watched the Good the Bad and the Ugly, Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. It was always playing somewhere on tv, so Dad would always turn it on when it was on the schedule. Anyhow, I’m pretty sure Lee Van Cleef was the model for the men I found myself quite drawn to as a young woman…and today!

    Lee Van Cleef, Jack Palance, Lee Marvin, Henry Silva & a few others, were the
    the great "heavies" in many 1950's movies! Unlike Marvin & Palance, Van Cleef
    never progressed to 'leading man' status! Regrettably, they have all passed away
    & are sadly missed by millions of aging "baby boomers", like me! R.I.P. et al!

    Without Lee, Clint’s career probably would have stagnated in the Spaghetti western genre after ‘A fistful of dollars’. I recall being just as mesmerised by Lees incredible super cool portrayal as the relentless Bounty Hunter as I was by Clint and Gian Maria Volonte. All of them were absolutely great throughout the sequels, Lee adding an extra edge of meanness and cool, clever cunning.

    Lee must have done documentary narration of one sort or another. That gravelly voice and story telling skills are 2nd to none, he was a total natural.

    I'm surprised they didn't say anything about Bill Carson as a joke. For those who don't get this Bill Carson was the person Lee's character Angel Eyes was chasing in The Good The Bad and The Ugly

    Years ago in college we had a lecture from a costume designer who had worked in numerous films: when we asked her who was the nicest person she had ever worked with, without hesitation she said Lee Van Cleef - she said he was an absolute gentleman.

    The Master was actually an interesting series historically ! The Medallion he's wearing represents his clan ! Incidentally his Tombstone reads " Best of the Bad " . R.I.P. Snake Eyes ❤🙏

    I Thank Lee Van Cleef for being the inspiration for Revolver Ocelot. I loved him in Escape from New York. He seemed cool. I seen behind the scene pics of him laughing with Kurt Russell and John Carpenter like they had a really GOOD time on set.

    • @TracySmith-xy9tq

      He was also the inspiration for the Star Wars character Cad Bane

  • @DougPoulton
    @DougPoulton ปีที่แล้ว +24

    He was great in "For a Few Dollars More" playing a hi-tech gunfighter with all those fancy rifle and pistol combinations. I thought he actually up-staged Clint Eastwood. He was excellent and we lost him way to early in life.

    • @jamesedwards2237

      Check him out in the movie Sabata. He's pretty good in it!!

    • @TracySmith-xy9tq
      @TracySmith-xy9tq ปีที่แล้ว +3

      For a Few Dollars More was his movie and Clint was his sidekick. Wish they'd done more than just two movies together

    (Lee: "The president's been kidnapped."
