The thing is you can't just strike a match just anywhere and have it light. A common trick in movies is to cut the striker strip from a match box and glue it to something just out of the camera shot. They did this in The Mummy when Ardeth strikes the match against Rick's jaw. So Lee striking the match had to have been planned, and for him to still get mad at a part of a planned scene would be totally in his character. It was making Lee's character look cool at the expense of his character. His inner narcissism was probably raging, even if he wasn't.

You left out one of the best parts, where Herzog tells the story how some of the Native Indios who were extras on the movie, proposed to Herzog to make Kinski "disappear" in the jungle, after he drove everybody crazy with his temper tantrums on set. "Don´t worry, people disappear in the jungle all the time, he went out in the jungle on his own, some animal probably got him, it happens, nobody will ask questions..."

In an interview published by the German tabloid Bild on 13 January 2013, Kinski's younger daughter and Pola's half-sister, Nastassja, said their father would embrace her in a sexual manner when she was 4-5 years old but never had sex with her.

I think a big part of the problem was that Kinski despised his own country.

He remained emotionally volatile throughout his life by all accounts but you will find his American and Italian interactions (which were two of his largest international markets where he worked) remained far more stable and coherent. Even the interviews he gave internationally were calm and relaxed. He eventually relocated to the USA and died there

Something happened to him in the war, or in the turmoil of 1945, that he just couldn't deal with. This is clear PTSD. I am sure this was true of millions of people who fought in, or just lived through, the war- but Kinski was clearly unable to deal with his particular experiences.

He has a very soothing Bavarian accent, although he always tries to speak in a neutral, high German accent. I once heard him talk to his brother in his normal accent on tv and was a bit surprised, he sounds a bit similar to me

Kinski must've been fun at parties and funerals.

4:00 - In Kinski's defense. He was doing a monolog about/being Jesus. In his own, inimitable way. And his performance riled up the crowd. Who, brought their own issues to the show. And then started to voice them (which Kinski allowed). What they forgot however. Was that Kinski is the real life 'David Banner/The Hulk'. Just below, the first atoms of his skin, lurked a creature of unrivaled anger and rage. However, Kinski did go on to finish this performance. With a smaller audience :)

Imagine a film directed by Sam Peckinpah with Marlon Brando, Dennis Hopper and Klaus Kinski in it, on location somewhere.

It's the movie industry. While Kinski may have been the worst of the bunch, there have been plenty of actors who behaved similarly over the more than 100 years of movie making. Not just actors but film crew: directors, producers, sparks, SFX, cameramen, there are narcissists everywhere in the industry. It's almost an expected and accepted thing. Yes, I spent enough time in the industry to see it myself.

Kevin Spacey never got punched even though supposedly he did suck and was a dick at times on a set. Nobody did anything because he is the star of the movies.

if you hit people for their words, you are a fascist

I do not know how the people in the past could tolerate this creature. He was not the only good actor

I once worked with Klaus. He's a great actor. As a human being...? a bit more problematical. It's foolish to ask him a question, especially a leading question, and then disagree with him. He's not a political or business leader so what he thinks isn't going to hurt anyone. Ask him, then let him talk as long as he wants or until the batteries run out. Leading questions in court are used against an adverse or hostile witness. Arguing with Klaus Kinski is to be complicit in his hostile and abusive response. (When I first met him, I praised his acting and all he said was, "Where's the girl?" referring to the other production assistant, a young woman. He'd been sexually harassing her. I was his stand in for a special effects test, his regular stand in for lighting, a Russian defector, later committed a horrible murder.) Werner Herzog is a very interesting person. On the surface and through his movies he is a very peaceful person, but all the time I think he's resisting a similar kind of rage Kinski has no control over. I don't for a second think that Herzog has ever exploded like Kinski seems to always do. A friend in college did her master thesis on Herzog, pointing out that the same underpinnings of fascism that the Nazis brought out, which were already under the surface of German culture (See The White Ribbon), are also in Herzog. When Herzog was cast as the super criminal Zek in the Tom Cruise Jack Reacher movie I thought it was brilliant casting, and maybe even type casting. (I'm from Detroit. If someone is shouting at you you might get injured but it won't be too bad. The most dangerous people are quiet.) To the credit of both men they made some terrific movies. I remember every scene I ever saw Klaus in. I remember the dailies for the movie I worked on. He was supposed to suddenly grab another actor's wrist and scare her. In 4 to 6 takes, every time he struck like a rattlesnake, not only surprising her every time, but scaring the crap out of her as well. He also startled me watching as well. I remember seeing Dr Zhivago with my mom. Even though I was 8 or 9 years old, I knew a bit about the Russian Revolution, and I knew a bit about our family's history getting out of that part of the world. I love the movie, I was lost in the dream, but when Klaus shows up as the anarchist shackled on the train - I immediately understood: revolution meant violence. Tom Courtney played a similar character, the student Pasha Antipov, turned into the destroyer of villages, Red Terror: Strelnikov. But he was still too polite and British. To his credit his ruthlessness was quiet. The question this video raises is: Could Klaus Kinski have been as good an actor if his mental illness had been effectively treated? I think he would've been an even better actor, have done more roles. After all, what my friend argues is under the surface of one of the most thoughtful and peaceful people making movies, is part of why Werner Herzog has made so many brilliant and brilliantly empathetic movies. He understands at a very deep level not that it's right to have empathy, but why it is so absolutely essential. Then again maybe Kinski is the expression of a violent abusive part of Herzog's personality that is present but which has been switched off. I grew up around some abusive people. I never feel the need or even the impulse to tell detailed stories about what I witnessed or was subjected to. It was always just harmful, unfortunate, not very interesting; if needed I'll mention it. I'd rather see a hundred videos of someone making a table and chairs then recount witnessing someone smashing them up. Clearly Werner gets a kick out of it. When Herzog came to Ann Arbor I asked him if Aguirre was a retelling of the Nazis coming to power in Germany. He shouted, "I make no metaphor films!" Someone else immediately asked, "What about Even Dwarfs Started Small?" Herzog didn't hesitate, "Because there is a dwarf in all of us!" Every forehead in that theater immediately wrinkled up....isn't that a metaphor? Doesn't mean Herzog is a hypocrite, just that, like all great artists, his work is bigger than he is. Then again what type of human would ever allow or enable Klaus Kinski to get his hands on a loaded gun? The Kinski I knew wouldn't have known where to buy toothpaste much less be able to find a gun and bullets. (And anyone who has ever been on a set with a gun knows how absolutely critical it is to have complete control over them and every single blank cartridge. And no live rounds. This is not new.) So when we see Kinski in a Herzog movie I think we should never forget that Herzog made the choice to put him in front of the camera and bears responsibility for his behavior.

Kinski war zwar autoritär, verachtend und gewalttätig gegen andere, doch zu sich selbst war er duldsam und zuvorkommend, geradezu nett und liebevoll, was eine unglaubliche Charakterstärke und Selbstbeherrschung voraussetzt, Hut ab. 😄

No amount of "great human warmth", can excuse behavior like that. He should have been treated for any mental illness, he was plagued with.

If you pretend this is a mockumentary with a great comedian playing an all-in character role, this can be savored as a hilariously genius performance by an actor. (Cartoonishly unreal, spiteful, narcissist German man-diva... followed around by Spinal Tap's film crew. 😅) I've found that it can be satisfyingly consumed if you're only willing to fool yourself into thinking it's talent on par with, say, Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder. 🙏🙏🙏

This is how far an artist will go, working with Kinski for 5 films you would think 1 would have been enough, but Kinski understood Herzog's vision and gave him, what Kubrick would call, 'the magic'.

I still remember in the one dollars trilogy movie Klaus was in where the great Lee Van Cleef lit his match on Klaus's back. That death stare Klaus gave him was great and Cleef was just cool as a cucumber. Klaus was also great in the great silence.

Just goes to show that crazy people at all times will have a huge following, viewing them as leaders, gurus, exceptional, genius, visionary. And those followers, enablers, mitläufers - are always spineless cowards when the true nature of their idol is exposed. Wringing hands, explaining away, avoiding accountability. Kinsky was a total jerk with a violent disposition, and not a misunderstood or underrated actor.
