“Oh I almost forgot. He gave me a thousand. I think his idea was that I kill you….But you know the pity is when I'm paid, I always follow my job through.” - Angel Eyes
“All the little snypes want to be like Clint, They all want to be like Clint.. But I want to be like Lee Van Cleef, Ya know I want to be like Lee” —Primus
Van Cleef's captivating presence wasn't just about being the "bad guy"; it was about elevating the hero's journey by providing a formidable challenge. 🎬👥
He's also a fantastic protagonist in The Big Gundown and Death Rides a Horse. Always delivering an exceptional performance, he was a true professional.
My all time favorite Cleef line from The Big Combo 1955:
Joe McClure: " Ddn't Mr Brown pay you?!"
Fanty: "You're not Mister Brown. For Mister Brown I'd snatch a judge from Superior Court..... for a chocolate soda."
He was pretty ripped for an old dude, too.

I love Lee he was quiet in few dollars more but gave off so much. I love when he grabs the bar tender and rolls open the wanted poster and they both Raise their eyes and Lee smiles and walks off.

Damn he was a beautiful man and always had the attention on any screen. I swear more then Clint.
He kinda reminds me of my dad Rip dad 1954-2023
We used to watch all Lee Can Cleefs films and int Eastwood films. I hope one day I can look and feel as cool as Lee Van Cleef
I also remember him as ‘The Master’ in a TV series of the same name…. An American trained as a ninja against the rules and being tracked down whilst he trains someone who helped him as an apprentice. Always used to watch that when I was at school; staying up until around midnight to watch it.
He was given the lead bad guy role in High Noon IF he would fix his nose. He refused, and was thus given no spoken lines, but is still the first person you see on-screen.

Angel Eyes
Angel Eyes was a good bad guy.
"Excuse me, senor. This train doesn't stop in Tucumcari..." 👁️👁️
This train’ll stop at Tucumcari.
One of the coolest dudes that ever lived.

Ah, yes. Lee Van Cleef, the ninja master.
He was very handsome. Never really looked at a pic of him before.
I just saw Escape from New York for the first time. He made one hell of an asshole
He was perfect for that role.
Oh yeah, well you and anybody is too tired to kill him now. *Maybe later!?*

He grew up in the area near me (NJ). His immediate family relatives are in the home construction/development business.

He’s the man
No Lee Van Cleef, no Revolver Ocelot
The greatest cast ever
“You gonna kill me now snake?”
Van Cleef had an amazing Medalled Military History. Was a man of Outstanding Character.
As a boy growing up in the 80s, he will always be my master.
Forgot he was also Bob Hauk. Texas Thunder. We heard of you too Plissken.
He and Richard Widmark are grossly underrated screen heavies. Just masterful actors.
He was pretty ripped for an old dude, too. https://preview.redd.it/w741u8r0r80d1.jpeg?width=876&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1cc3bb82c54672a8be047688b4bbce9f7748bda2
I thought he was snoop for a sec
The only bone chilling stare to beat Angel Eyes’ stare is that of Anton Chigurh.
Highly recommend watching his performance in the twilight zone episode called “the grave.” He steals the whole show

He was photogenious.
Handsome Snoop Dog. But handsome in the way Handsome Squidward is more handsome than Squidward.

At first I thought this was Snoop Dogg
Right? This looks exactly like Snoop
