In real life Lee Van Cleef was the fastest gun in Hollywood unless it was Sammy Davis, Jr. Lee told John Wayne while waiting to do a scene in "Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" he could draw & pull trigger before Wayne could clap his hands together while holding them just a few feet apart. They got Lee Marvin to count it off and Van Cleef did it. Wayne said"How am I suppose to out draw you in this scene?" Van Cleef said "I'll slow down for you Duke" & Wayne said "Nice of you to give me a break".

I've never forgotten that nor forgotten my uncle. My only regret was my uncle never live long enough to his nephew actually making a career in motion pictures. I was Sean Connery's asst on my first movie. Then I got out of that racket and became a sound mixer. Burt Reynolds and Anthony Quinn's paths crossed with mine and I told all those 3 legends about my uncle's influence on me and Lee Van Cleef. They all agree with my uncle Lee Van Cleef was the original real stuff. Period

One of the classic "Rifeleman" episodes. This is the backstory of how Micah lost use of his right arm and hand. He was the fastest draw and most feared lawman in the West before Van Cleef's character wounded him. Luke loved him like a son to father. Cool shizz. The Rifleman was always a morality play. Great stories of human struggle. Virtue and Honor won the day.

I Love watching clips from some of my old favourite TV series, and looking closely for some of the character actors who later appeared in other Classics. Epic Rifleman never gets old!

So THAT'S how Lee Van Cleef lost the tip of his finger.

Lee van Cleef was one of my favorite actors.

I met him at the produce counter , sensing a presence to the right of me I glanced over ,all I saw was pants, following the pants up ,I was shocked to see Connors face to face,we talked for a spell at the checkout and I was on my way.A brief but lasting meeting .

Always loved the show The Rifleman, I still watch it to this day whenever they show it.

Lee Van Cleef, Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, three American actors that will be NEVER forget in Italy.Also James Coburn and Rod Steiger.

Two guys walk into a Bar and sees a dog licking himself. One of the guys says , wish I could do that! The other ones says," Me too, but he mite Bite" !

He's not that young in this production, but compared to his work in the spaghetti westerns, this makes me go "awww just a little baba".

He played the sharpshooter who fires the lethal shell at the monster who is chowing down on the roller coaster. The film is in black and white, and we see LVC in profile at first, but he is easily recognizable.

One of my favourite western. The Rifleman! Love the straight-talking, no-nonsense hero!

Brings back my childhood, loved watching the rifleman.

This aired in March of 1959. It probably was made in late 1958. Lee does die in this episode but in a couple other Rifleman episodes he does not die. But if you're gonna watch a lot of Lee Van Cleef, most of the time, he will die. If you want to see Lee REALLY young, type in "Lee Van Cleef Space Patrol". This is from 1952.

Chuck Connors was a real athlete. He was a professional baseball player and before that he was a pro basketball player. He played center for the Boston Celtics. That was before Bill Russel. Playing both baseball and basketball ain't easy. Michael Jordan tried to do as much but failed.

I loved "The Rifleman" when I was a kid... For some reason, though he never said anything our loud, I could tell my father didn't think much of it. Years later the subject came up, somehow, and I asked him why he didn't like it. He said because it was unrealistic. A man with a young son like he had wouldn't be so eager for violent, possibly fatal confrontations... Go figure.

Angel Eyes, we'll never see another like him. R.I.P.

I have been using the ol' Sod Buster line for years. Thanks to the show

Angel eyes 😁

That was one of my favorite lines! I can’t stand watching the crap on TV today! The old shows are the best!

Van Cleef was so cool ... he shit dry ice . I admired him over any so called good guy .

this was one of my favorite scenes-loved this show

Used to live these style of westerns in England. Sunday midday telly. Love how the only four folk relevant to the discussion theyre having are the only four in the scene too. No one else in the pub , sorry..bar...no passers by and no onlookers. Great stuff. Lee Van Cleef got to be one of the all time great villains.

LEVER ACTION FOR LIFE!

One of the greatest shows in TV history.

Lee Van Cleef....awesome actor

THE RIFLEMAN was one of the best Westerns from back in the day; I really miss those shows. Great post MrBILLESPIE.
