![]() ![]() One of my fav actors . . Gotta admit . . ![]() ![]() ![]() Two of his best roles are King Haggard ( actually a voiceover . .) in "The Last Unicorn" . . . . . and Saruman in LOTR . . Do not forget Dracula . . ![]() Sorry , couldn't resist with the vid . . . ![]() lol . . I think Vlad Tepes Dracul ( Vlad the Impaler ![]() ![]() ![]() What's your opinion on the man? On a side note , are some of you familiar with the movie "End Of The World" ( 1977 ) ? In the movie the earth explodes . . . ![]() He also played a major role in that movie , yet it is one of his less prominent ones . . Good old man. Always portraying 'evil' . . . ![]() . . while in reality he must be quite a nice guy. ![]() What's your opinion ? |

Christopher Lee is an excellent actor (although I guess I should say was, since he's dead), and I loved his performances in the old Dracula movies, in The Man with the Golden Gun, and especially in the second and third films of the Star Wars prequel trilogy. |

Wait a minute , that's Sir Alec Guiness to you !!! He was knighted for his acting talent . . . lol The irony , since both Lee and Guiness played in the Star Wars saga . . . Although A LOT of time lay between their two roles . . . ![]() ![]() . . even when you go by the Star Wars horology . . . ![]() lol . On a side note , I always wondered what maybe a mix between Vlad Tepes Dracul ( Count Dracula ) and Count Dooku might look like . . . Imagine a lightsaber-swinging vampire . . . lol I suppose Christopher would have managed that too . . . ![]() ![]() Count Dookula , maybe ? ![]() ![]() lol Lee always played 'evil characters stemming from nobility' . . See King Haggard , Dracula , Dooku etc . . Actually I even wonder if the Star Wars makers came up with the character of 'Count Dooku' just to have a role fit for him . . ![]() Last edited by ColdFire; October 22nd, 2018 at 07:13 PM. |

Christopher Lee's masterful portrayal of Count Dooku added so much to the already excellent Attack of the Clones. Yes, I know that critics savaged the movie, but I thought it was great despite some weak love scenes between Anakin and Padmé. |

It was even re-named 'Star Love' back then and some critics even went so far as to compare the 'love scenes' between Anakin and Padmé to Melrose Place . . ![]() You have to watch the whole trilogy . . Then it makes sense . . ![]() |

For the record , I always thought the characters Count Dooku and Saruman were quite similar . . .
![]() Just the timeline separates them . . . ![]() Star Wars is an epic battle 'good vs evil' set in a futuristic time ( space age ) while LOTR is an epic battle 'good vs evil' set in ancient times. I wrote treatises about them and even a supposed connection to our real world here. Star Wars = racist ? J. R. R. Tolkien's world a metaphor for our world ? Now , who do you think might win in a celebrity deathmatch Saruman vs Dooku ? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

. . concerning this thread on Lee . .
I remember once having read that Lee's family tree was traced back generations ago , claiming that he and his family would be more of less direct descendant of Carolus Magnus..... Wow . . In a way , no wonder he always was into playing 'charismatic figures from nobility' . .

I thought Christopher Lee was a good actor. Of course I remember him mostly for the Dracula movies and as Scaramanga from The Man With the Golden Gun. The last movie I saw him in was called Goliath Awaits made in 1981, about the survivors of a Titanic-like ocean liner sunk in WW2 where they were found 40 years later living inside the wreck at the bottom of the sea and they somehow generated a breathable atmosphere, grew crops for food, etc.

Yet , tbh , I still think Lee was a good actor and , by taking a closer look , the movies I especially like from him I think do not have that much to do with N.W.O. propaganda ( like 'Dracula' being merely a historical treatise on the legendary Vlad Dracul etc . .) . . What I agree with though is that most movies where 'keepers of the law' are 'held up high' sure are N.W.O.-propaganda ( to maintain the 'status quo' . . ) . . A whole thread about that here : https://vnnforum.com/showthread.php?t=549475

Lee was excellent; he was particularly great in LOTR and The Wicker Man, which was his personal favorite.
He was what Vincent Price wished he could've been. |
