Wicked eyes. Missing finger tip. Even his teeth looked menacing.Seriously.

Angel Eyes was a badass in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. What I love is that those "spaghetti westerns" were so rough cut that he then teamed up with Clint as a protagonist in "For a Few Dollars More".

Angel Eyes is probably my favorite "villan" ever.

[heresy]For A Few Dollars More is actually my favorite of the Eastwood spaghetti western trio because Van Cleef was so cool.[/heresy] In Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels Guy Ritchie used the same music from Col. Mortimer's music box in a key scene to build suspense before a shootout.Lee Van Cleef was cool in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, too.

That is a VERY underrated and underappreciated Western. Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Van Cleef, and Lee Marvin all directed by John Ford. An excellent film, even if you don't really like Westerns.

As is the case with most great movies, you need not be a fan of the genre to watch and appreciate it. Another one like that is High Noon . . . which was Lee Van Cleef's first role (non-speaking, I think) as a menacing villain, particularly featured waiting - menacingly of course - at the train station.

I noticed that when I finally watched that movie a few months ago. What a great homage.

Hmm - the release dates would indicate that 'For a Few Dollars More'was shot before 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' Link to IMDB

Yeah, I wasn't sure when I wrote that. Still, the point was that Sergio Leone had no problems with casting the Devil in spurs as a protagonist. So much for that white hat crap!Hmm - the release dates would indicate that 'For a Few Dollars More'was shot before 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' Link to IMDB

Sorry, but you don't let Lee Van Cleef fall off the first page!
I did a search just looking for a mention of Van Cleef somewhere. I'm stunned yet pleased to see he has his own thread. Loved this guy's movies. For a Few Dollars More was on AMC last night and I heard a line I never caught before.LVC tells Clint, "Boy, I've reached almost 50 years of age with my system. Not many men last long in these parts."
I immediately thought to myself that he looks older than 50. So I checked the IMDB. The movie was released in 1965. He was born in 1925.
He was 40 at most, and probably only 39, since it's likely the film was shot some time in 1964.RIP Lee.

Funny.... I ended up watching For a Few Dollars More last night too but it was not on AMC.... it was on Starz or Encore or whatever starting at around 2am (I am sick and woke up around then and found it). The Spaghetti Westerns were awesome and Van Cleef was spot on in both For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (the best Western ever). I too ended up doing internet research on him because he is so memorable in those movies.Sorry, but you don't let Lee Van Cleef fall off the first page!

The dubbing is a bit distracting, but those movies are a great way to pass a few hours.

Well, I was a lot closer than you! What do you expect from sickling at 2am? The dubbing gives it a special flavor in an odd sort of way. Kind of like that really hot girl that is made even hotter because of a particular flaw that is not horrible but just enough noticeable to make her more real.Actually, we are both wrong.

I just watched Death Rides a Horse a few weeks ago on Netflix. Sure, there are some cheesy moments, but I enjoyed seeing a Van Cleef in another western.
The revenge moments in this film use a style similar to Kill Bill. Could be a coincidence, but I suspect Tarantino borrowed this.

Watching Fistful of Dollars right now.
IMO the Good, the Bad and the Ugly is the singl greatest piece of cinema ever...perfect in every way. Part of that perfection had to do with Van Cleef, he was stellar.

It's been awhile since I've seen the movies but I'm almost positive Ennio Morricone (who scored both movies) used that bit as part of the final shootout scene as well in "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly."I noticed that when I finally watched that movie a few months ago. What a great homage.

Loved Van Cleef in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, but I thought he was even better in For a Few Dollars More.
