His performance as the singing villain who always boasts his evilness and acknowledges that his henchman are hopeless was great. And he had some of his best one-liners ever. Rest in peace mr lee
shareI love him in that movie too, especially when he taunts Captain Invincible about liquor. That scene is priceless.
shareChristopher Lee, like Vincent Price, had a real talent for making evil characters amusing and even likable.
There's a light (Over at the Frankenstein place)--The Rocky Horror Picture Show
The movie's only so-so, but his cameo in The Stupids is very funny.
"Poor Jenny Miller. Nobody coming to her wedding."
Haven't seen that one. What's his role in that film?
shareOkay, go with me on this one. Lead character Stanley Stupid (Tom Arnold) is so, well, stupid, that he believes there is a huge government conspiracy to steal the mail marked "Return To Sender", and that it all begins with whoever this man "Sender" is.
While explaining his theory, he imagines "Sender" as a cruel man in a pin-striped suit who lives, seemingly, in Hell, plotting his mischief. His vision of Sender is played by Christopher Lee, who has about two minutes of screen time, give or take, but does spend the entire time talking and sending up his screen image. Christopher Lee hits all the right notes and is clearly in on the joke.
