@@devindraco3594 By definition, slang is improper. Again, fi someone is going to be anal, they better make sure they, themselves, are above reproach. That individual was not, and you're defending hypocrisy.
@@sassuskrassus3166 yes and uppon re watching the video, i saw that the quote isn't in the video. So i ask did YOU watch the video before deciding to talk like a prick?
Christopher Lee was such a badass. Imagine being able to say you were in WWII, a professional fencer, a knight of the queen, you’re Dracula, and you’re also in Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Oh and then you made a metal band in your late 80’s. Badass! And Wormtongue’s joke about the magnum made me crack up.
And his step-cousin wrote James Bond with Lee as the inspiration, he had permission from the Swedish King to marry his daughter, he witnessed the last public execution by guillotine in France, AND he’s the only person from the LOTR cast to actually meet Tolkien
Christopher Lee has a very particular set of skills. Skills he acquired over a very long career. Skills that make him a nightmare for people like Peter Jackson.
@@Pirustae Because if Peter Jackson let's the subject go, that'll be the end of it, he will not look for him, he will not pursue him, but if he doesn't, he will look for him, he will find him and he will kill him.
@@jalllaaavg if what you said is true, British (which literally used to own a massive multiethnical empire) won't be a bunch of monolinguals like nowadays.
I not saying He didn't do it himself I have no idea exactly apart from what was recorded but there from his history He witnessed it, A lot of it I am sure.
You're so right and remember he knew his craft and not trying to play the age card but Mr Lee had been in the industry before this guy was even born and Mr Lee was a Master of his craft so that fellow didn't stand a chance
@@gypsylotusblossom777 not only that, but he had first hand experience about how someone sounds when stabbed in the back. So he not only delivered the scene brilliantly, he also convinced Peter to make it realistic.
“Ok so at this point Anakin has cut Dooku’s hands off and I want you to go kinda, “ahhhh.’” “Have you any idea the sound a man makes when he has his hands cut off? Because I do.” *looks at stumps* “Well bugger.”
Dude! I guarantee you that Christopher Lee learned this from Human Sacrifice rituals, rather than WWII!! The man is an unbelievably high occultist! Only his inner circle truly know the depths of his depravity! People need to know this! He was not a good guy
just a reminder of how fascinating a person Christopher Lee was: - Studied Latin & Ancient Greek in College - Was the nephew of Ian Fleming - Met two of the assassins who murdered Gregori Rasputin - Witnessed the last, public guillotine execution in France - Fought as a Finish Soldier in the ‘Winter War’ of 1939 - Applied for & enlisted in the RAF of Uxbridge - Became an Intelligence Officer posted in Egypt - Has heavily alluded to having killed nazi soldiers in-espionage - Met JRR Tolkien - Played Dracula (multiple times) - Starred in over 266 Films - Played Saruman - Played Count Dooku - Read TLOTR up until his death, yearly - Released Heavy Metal Music The man quite literally lived his life to the fullest!
Was he fracmasonic elite? Sounds like that... Btw i love the song of Rhapsody on Fire italian simphoniv metal band one of my favorite when he speaks at the album ..i still love that song. And its sooo Tolkien based!!highly recommended
@@Theghostswaves old pabby? Nah he's a sweet heart. Wouldn't trust anyone more with my baby and by baby I mean drug empire stretching over multiple countries.
If someone proceeds you in great detail about the sound a person makes when they get stabbed in the back, it's probably best not to pursue the conversation.
"Lee was attached to the precursor of the SAS, known as the Long range Desert Group (LRDG), in North Africa from 1941. He reportedly moved behind enemy lines, destroying Luftwaffe aircraft and fields, until he was seconded to the army and served with a Gurkha regiment". Mister Lee was a absolute unit back in the days, geeezz
I always wanted him to come back as Dracula but in a Wes Anderson-style horror-comedy where Dracula is actually dapper and charming and oh-so-very British and nobody in any scene has any idea he's a vampire.
@@Theomite why aren't the vampires ever in the UK where it's always overcast and you get like a week of sun? It would be the same logic as twilight, minus the sparkles
Peter jackson - "I'm not sure if thats what i want for the scene" Christopher Lee - "Have you ever Killed a man?" P.J. - "Understandable, the shot is perfect."
Christopher Lee was an utter gentleman, a fine actor and a class act. He also knew where to cut you so you’d bleed slow and know you were dying before it happened. Truly a unique set of skills.
@@osets2117 The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis. The quote was said by Aslan. In their own rights, both the books and the films are excellent, and Liam Neeson was a phenomenal choice to be the voice of Aslan.
The moment when Wormtongue pulls out his .357 Magnum while saying the famous line before immediately getting shot by Legolas is one of the greatest moments of irony in cinema. Bravo, Jackson!
Yeah except he was lying. He heavily embellished his military records. Read up on it. Edit October 2022 Please read my other comments before either arguing or insulting me because you disagree or don't like what I'm saying. Lying by omission is a genuine thing and Christopher Lee did exactly that. He is a fantastic actor and I respect him for his time served. But that still doesn't take from my point. URLs will not work in the comments here so I cannot post my source. Instead I will directly you to "Count Dankula" where he does a several hour long deep dive into christopher lee as part of his "Absolute mad lads" series. Lee is a very interesting character and has had a crazy life
I have nothing but respect for everyone who took part in the making of these movies. Timeless masterpieces, formed by love and dedication of everyone involved.
Jackson: Here is how I would like you to sound being stabbed in the back. Lee: That is not what it sounds like. Jackson: And you know ...? (cast and crew slowly back away)
That notion is something that took me a while to grapple with and eventually accept. There are some things in life that we are all better off not knowing, and if we do, being able to respond appropriately makes the difference.
He didn't push it any further because he was aware of the attention seeking of an old man who's making his stuff up. You don't argue with people like that.
It's been said time and time again, almost to death, but Christopher Lee lived *THE* life every man wants. I don't know if I'd say he's my favorite actor, but he's the actor I would have liked to shake the hand of the most, respect to a man who was a modern day legend.
This is why LOTR was so amazing. It was filled with people who wanted nothing but the peak possible outcome for the show. Fans deserve this kind of dedication. And they will love you for it if you give it.
@@randomunavailable because it’s simply a tax write off for them. Same reason Velma was absolutely dog water. These streaming services don’t actually care about the source material.
He was the basis of James Bond. Ian Fleming (author of 007 series) is his step-cousin, he openly admitted to basing his character on Christopher's time in the British Royal Secret Service.
Oh he doesn't know that from acting, my friend. Christopher Lee served in the Royal Air Force and an information officer for the Special Operations Executive. He knows what it sounds like because he's done it.
@@ascina Look up Christopher Lee’s biography. He did 10 lifetimes’ worth of awesome in one. Some of the stuff he did for the Crown is still classified. He was friends with Ian Fleming and is rumored to have inspired the character of James Bond. He even played the villain in The Man with the Golden Gun. He’s been Dracula and a lead singer in a Metal band. And that’s not even scratching the surface.
*MORAL OF THE STORY: the only film directors that are successful are the ones who are willing to accept reality and incorporate it into the film. It's exactly what's wrong with every movie now. They don't even TRY to incorporate reality anymore. Not even in action movies. All the guns have 100,000 round magazines and all the people who get shot get knocked back 300 feet.*
Christopher Lee was multilingual Once a man asked him were you ever in the secret service? Christopher Lee turned around and said to him can you keep a secret? The man replied yes I can. Christopher Lee ended it by saying so can I
The man who played Dale from twd, saruman from LOTR and Count Dooku from SW... i realized this legend was a huge part of my childhood and he always had very impactful characters with very dignified roles. Rest in peace Christopher glad i was alive to witness some of your amazing work 🖤
Interestingly, the short “uh” sound made when someone is stabbed in the back is much the same as that made when Dracula bites into your neck… and Christopher Lee would have known all about that also!
“Have you any idea what kind of noise happens when somebody is stabbed in the back? Because I do.” is a game of thrones level line that would be so useful for political intrigue. Deliver in Lee’s voice the line is just badass Also given how things unfortunately shook out for Peter and Lee, it’s a bit too apropos
@@sexygirlmax2019 the scene they just talked about was cut from the theatrical release for pacing reasons. It was Christopher Lee's only role in Return of the King so being cut from it made him justifiably angry. They made up later and Peter ended up adding Saurmon to the Hobbit even though he never appeared in the book. Edit:oops, I messed up a few things. I think I fixed it
It would have been great if Christopher Lee had been in GOT in some way, shape, or form and I’m not talking about him being Tywin. In my mind there is no other Tywin other than Charles Dance. I don’t want to sit here for an hour and try to think up a role for him, but it seems like he could have fit into that universe very well.

He was a liaison officer. He was not a commando or spy.. through out his career he gave hints about other things but never ever said he did anything.. he just planted enough idea in his audience to make them think he really was a badass.. but he wasn't.
100%, Ian Fleming (the author of the James Bond books and Lee's cousin) openly stated that the character James Bond was based off of Christopher Lee. Which is funny, because Lee went on to play the villain Francisco Scaramanga in "The Man With The Golden Gun". But I digress, he's truly a badass and a renaissance man.
@@stijnvandamme76That's where your wrong, he started as a liaison officer but was recruited into the OSS later on. Lee was indeed a spy and provided information for the OSS. He even actively engaged in sabotage. In fact, his cousin Ian Fleming attested to the fact that he based his character James Bond off of Christopher Lee. After all, they served together in the military.
@@stijnvandamme76 He was a liaison officer assigned to the LRDG, the precursors to the SAS, and later the SAS proper. That's a very specific type of liaison officer and not the type that would have sat at a desk miles from the front.
Fun fact: Christopher Lee was close friends with Ian Fleming, the author of James Bond. He said at many occasions that he based the character on the storys Lee told him.
He just sounds like a fucking tit saying that... Whereas CL obviously did commando/special forces work in WWII and has killed with a blade. Fuck, even I know people don't scream when they get stabbed, half the time they don't even know it.
