When NPR eulogized the ever-kind Henry Fonda, the commentator noted his bad-guy role as Frank in Once Upon a Time in the West. Commenting that Frank killed a kid in cold blood, he quipped: "It was Henry Fonda! The kid probably had it coming." 😂
HAHAH!
Lee Van Cleef, though a good actor, always had difficulty getting parts until For A Few Dollar More and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. After that his career took off. I was surprised that Jack Elam didn't make the list. And for that matter Strother Martin. Both very good actors who could play villains as well as other roles. Maybe your next Top 10 list could be comedy westerns including Elam and Martin. Lee Marvin would have to be in that one with Cat Ballou.
Your list may vary! Thank You.
Jack Elam could pretty much work in anything. "You may now kiss the bride even if'n you already have". Forgot the movie.🤣
@@grahamhorne6956Jack was great in the comedy westerns with James Garner Support Your Local Gunfighter & Support Your Local Sherrif.
Johnny Ringo was my favorite. He was cold calculating and a real interesting character thanks again Santee 🤠
My pleasure!
The guy who played Johnny Ringo, Michael Biehn, should've won an Oscar. Really, all the main actors could've. But he played a guy you could tell was 1/3rd psycho, 1/3 bad ass, and 1/3 yellow bellied coward all at once. He contrasted well with Kurt Russell's Wyatt Earp, who was 100% bad ass and Val Kilmer's Doc, who's devil may care attitude reflected a GAF meter pegged below -10.
I knew Angel Eyes would be on this list, even though.... he literally killed less people than the other two guys in the film.
True. But it's the way he killed them. Even killed a kid.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Excellent point, Santee.
@@NGMonocrom I didn't realize until you said it, but you're right. they all killed a lotta folks!!
You know an actor is doing a great job when you start thinking "will someone please kill him?" Russell Crowe got to me in 3:10 to Yuma. Thanks for keeping the west alive.
Cool!
Irony, I considered Peter Fonda in 3:10 to Yuma more detestable than Russel Crowe…
Lee van cleef / angel eyes is one of my favorite actors. I shaped my hat to resemble his in some of my triple shot videos and spin cocking videos.
Yep!
Cock Spinning? You spin Roosters? Wow! Guess I missed that video .........
Great list Santee. I would have to throw in El Indio in For a Few Dollars More. There was always something about his brutal, calm demeanor that made him a villain I couldn't stand.
Yes!
Very good list. I would add jack Palance in shane
He was up there, and maybe was worse than Marshal Stockburn. I'm on the fence about it!
@@ArizonaGhostriders I was, indeed, about to sugesting him myself. Good to see you thought of him.
I would ad Loco from the movie (The Great Silence) played by Klaus Kinski! The Great Silence Reason the Ending ! I mean the original ending!
Couple more fer ya, Santee......... Preacher Quint (Donald Pleasance) in 'Will Penny' (1967) Provo (James Coburn) in 'The Last Hard Men' (1976)
Yep, good ones.
Along with Cactus Jack you could add Evil Roy Slade.
Awww, he ain't bad. Just misunderstood!
I was gonna add Evil Roy, but ya beat me to th draw, pardner!
So hard to break down to ten villains out of so many Western movies. That said, you did a good job on picking some of the bad guys.
Thank You!
Lee Marvin as Tully Crow in the comancheros, him and John Wayne playing off eachother is great.
Marvin was a great actor
I always loved Gian Maria Volonte as El Indio from a few dollars more. He had the most manic insane looking expressions, but also very subtle too.
Yeah, he was a genuine psycho in that
I got drafted as "The Bad Guy" in our reenactment group. The hard part is being bad, but not being overly scary to the little buckaroos who come to watch us.
It is a fun role to play
Hey, from what I've seen the bad guy often seems to be the most fun character to play.
@@kieranadamson3224 I have a ball with it. When we do our "train robbery" I enlist the kids to slow down the good guys. I once made the mistake of telling one little girl to kick one of my pursuers in the shin. That little gal kicked the crap out of him! It's good to be bad!🤠
@@ArizonaGhostriders I'm always doing stuff like stealing candy from the kids. The look of disbelief on their faces is pretty funny. (Yes, I give the candy back. I'm not entirely heartless!)
@@hacksaw434 We would work well together. I harrass girl scouts for their cookies and make them laugh. It's especially funny when they are out of cookie season but I pretend that they are hiding them from me.
Great way to start out my Saturday
Thank You!
Forgot Sheriff Lefors in Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, the most menacing antagonist who was never even shown.
Your list may vary!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Great videos as always
Thank You! @@WesternBowdrie
Good intro Santee - that's taking one for the team! But, Angel Eyes - a.k.a. Lee Van Clief has always been my favorite Western movie villain. He could play the consummate sociopath; just pure evil intent with no wasted extravagance.
Yes...truly believable.
Yes!! You added my fav4movie"The Villain!" Highly underrated .
One of my favorites.
Nice! I lost my original comment, but I certainly agree about “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.” I’d also add the original “The Magnificent Seven” and “The Big Country” to the list. Keep it going, bro!!!!
Thank You!
The thing about Frank is he feigns disappointment in having killing the child, but that smile tells you he's a cold blooded killer that enjoys it. That is in spite of him wanting Mr. Choo Choo's power. The whole movie is a masterpiece and Fonda's acting is some of the best.
Yep, pure evil.
I'm not familiar with all of those movies, but from your ON TARGET video, and audio clips, they sure suggest they deserved to be in that *top 10. Thanks, and this, too, was top notch, as always, Santee.👏🏻🤠👏🏻😱
Wow, thank you!
Glad you included one of my favorites, Bruce Dern. You know your a good actor when the movie goers HATE you. Also an honorable mention two "Jacks"... Jack Palance and Jack Elam. Elam played some humorous parts but some serious ones too. Keep up the good work and "pew pew pew"
Thank You!
Angel Eyes all the way.
Yep
I remembered quite a few of those old westerns.
Yep!
Good list Santee. That little smirk Henry Fonda had was perfect.🤠🇺🇲
Right?
I'm glad Jeff Daniels and Richard Boone made the list. Dennehy as Cobb would be near the top of my list, though. 👍
OK!
I really like your bad guy list Santee! Very well thought out!😃👍
I try
James Coburn in ‘Avenging Angel’. There was a lot of suppressed evil in his Porter Rockwell.
Also Coburn in Last of The Hard Men
Good call!
Another good call.
Rexy appears so much that Im hoping one day you’ll talk about The Valley of Gwangi.
Yes. Every week since 2016
"You're a low down yankee liar." Shane "Prove it." Jack Palance
Yep, and you're list can vary!
Angel Eyes in the Dollars trilogy will forever be my favorite. Lee Van Cleef perfectly captured what he was asked to do!
yes!
Loved it, another assignment job , thank you again
You're very welcome.
Dropping some love Santee amazing as always some great movies on show on here
Thank You, sir!
Great list, Santee. Thanks.
My pleasure!
Thanks again Santee & Co.
Any time!
Lee Van Cleef was also in "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance". Although he did not play a significant role in the movie, you can see him sitting at the table on the left when Lee Marvin (Liberty Valance) trips the pilgrim in the cantina.
Yep, he played his share. Gunfight at the OK Corral, High Noon, etc.
Great episode. Keep-em coming. All great movies.
Much appreciated, man!
Good list!
Thanks!
Loved it!!!!
Thank You!
Great video Santee
Thanks, Led!
I'm going to have to catch up on some of these. Thank you for the list my friend.
You’re so welcome
Great video Santee! I imagine just how hard it must've been to make this list.
Well, top 20 would have been easier, but one does what one can!
@@ArizonaGhostriders 👍👍👍
Very good start for my weekend, and agree with your list. Thanks.
You're welcome. Have a great weekend
I've seen a few of them, I need to catch up on a few too. Excellent video Santee.
Thank You!
Good list
Thank You!
Some great picks. I'd have to agree with all of them. Thanks for starting my weekend off right. Be safe out there, and take it easy man,
Thanks, you too!
Great choices
Thank You!
Lee J. Cobb as "Dock Tobin". in "Man of the West" deserves an honorable mention.
Hmmm, ok!
By far, one of my favorite episodes. I knew every bad guy shown. I love all of those westerns. Thanks Santee. I enjoy this so much.
You're welcome, Ralph!
Simply put. This was great
Thank You!
Powers Booth as Curly Bill was another good one. Hard to do a top 10 there are so many good ones.
Yep
That’s a pretty solid list Santee! All bad dudes!.. ✌🏻😎
Thank You!
Boy, Santee, Bill is being rough on you today. Great list and dead on. Have a great weekend! Cheers!
He was.
Out of all the villains my favorite is angel eyes he was an absolute menace in the good the bad and the ugly movies, the way he just smiles as he's killing and torturing tuco for the location of the gold made me hate him as a character but love him as a person.
Yes!
Now that is a good solid list
Thank You!
So Bill considers himself a western movie star?
Well, he's featured in a video that won at the Wild Bunch Film Festival...so yes.
Good one
Thanks
I thought you was dead, was my favorite line by Richard Boone as he was bleeding out. 😮 He found out not hardly. Great Episode 👍🏻 😊.
Yep!
Good video santee your the best youtuber
Thank You!
Great list! I immediately thought of Richard Boone from Big Jake when I saw the title.
Yes!
Great list. Johnny Ringo, Ben Wade and Angel Eyes have to be my top 3. I gotta throw in an honorable mention though, Graff, Mickey Rourke's character from The Last Outlaw.
Cool!! Like the Last Outlaw.
One could also add: Gene Hackman as 'John Harrod' in "The Quick and the Dead" and John Cusack as 'Dutch Albert' in "Never Grow Old"
Thanks. Your list may vary!
One cannot argue against your existing list.
Huge omission here. Loco from The Great Silence.
Your list can vary!
This may just be my imagination, but in the realm of cap/ball revolvers, isn't it unusually common for heroes to have Colts, while the villains are equipped with Remingtons?
Not in Pale Rider.
don't forget S&W top break revolvers. if they had speed loaders for them back in the day, they would have out sold anything
@seymourwrasse3321 kind of jokingly but not I always approach the mindset a SAA is more of a defensive gun when it comes to loading and unloading. You can replace spent rounds as need be. The Schofield I see as more of a offensive firearm in that it's all or nothing. It's kind of hard doing partial reloads in a top break. But for quick full reloads the Schofield can't be beat (between the two). Especially with a speed loader.
@@Mirokuofnite I prefer an offensive defense
I wish Elliott Marston had made the list, but your list is awesome.
Thanks.
Great villains all amigo ! Have a great weekend
Thanks for the visit
@@ArizonaGhostriders 🤠
Great picks!!!
Thank You!
I love Calvera in the magnificent 7
Yep, and you're list can vary!
Nice list, especially "Frank" from _Once Upon a Time in the West._ But I'm partial to Colonel Ticonderoga (Andy Griffith), Blackie (Jim Carter) and Bob Barber (Patrick Wayne) from _Rustler's Rhapsody._
HA! Yes! I just worked with Mr. Berenger.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Well, that's supercool.
Absolutely! Blackie was hilarious!
Id love to see a Top 10 Hats in Westerns. The Man with No Name's and Hondo's hat would be a my top two
EXCELLENT idea!!! Love it.
My pick is Johnny Ringo played by Michael Bein who I think did an excellent job playing him.
🤠
Angel eyes is from my hometown Great episode Santee
Thank You!
I'd have put Calvin Candy (Leonardo DiCaprio) from Django Unchained (2012) high on the list. It's a very dramatic character with an excellent performance, especially the famous scene with the broken glass. Major Jackson (Eduardo Fajardo) from the original Django (1966) would also make my list. For a more obscure character, I liked Luke Darcy (Jeff Chandler) from The Jayhawkers (1959), as a complicated villain with some good features.
Good choices as well
Thank you Santee: I agree with you on these picks. I watched a movie yesterday called: Live by the Gun. ( I think that was the name ) and I thought it was you playing the star role at first. Have a great weekend. Don't forget about the solar eclipse that is starting shortly, maybe now for you. You should be able to view what is called "the ring of fire" Florida is only getting a partial eclipse.
Saw the eclipse....still seeing spots because I stared (I know, I know).
Good choices Santee , My favorite is Richard Boone in " Big Jake " . I loved his little speech about having a whole lot of money at the beginning . I was wondering if you could eventually do a video on Strother Martin and the roles he's played in westerns over the years . Thank you for all the hard work you and all the guys and gals in the A G R for keeping the old west alive . 👍👍
I will do that video!
I actually missed el indio from for a few dollars more here. He was so damn intimitating
Definitely nutso!
Glad to see the hat back!
I wore it 2 episodes ago.
@@ArizonaGhostriders you must have been so entertaining that it took me a couple of episodes to notice. 😁
Hard to pick just 10 but Bill Dagget is very real because he sincerely believed he was in the right. GOOD LIST
HA!
Great episode, Santee! I'm disappointed though that you didn't include The Swede from Hell on Wheels.
I feel like the Swede was just off his rocker crazy. Might have been a narcissist, and a psychopath. Just a weird character.
Santee, A really good top 10 but you left one off that Low Down Rotten Dirty Dan that's always mean to Santee. You and your family have a beautiful and blessed weekend.
LOL! Thanks.
Danny Huston in the Proposition & Jeffrey Dean Morgan in the Salvation. 100% agree w/ Henry Fonda in OUATITW.
OK!
i wish that i could offer better additions but the only good ones that I can recall are Gene Hackman as John Herod in The Quick and the Dead and Blair Underwood as Sheriff Carver in Posse
Good ones.
Great video, as always. Just love to pieces T-Rex.
So do I
John Russell was a very underrated actor. Rip
Agreed
This is a crazy coincidence as a friend of mine was excited this week because Bruce Dern liked his post on social media. And I was saying how I loved him as the bad guy in The Cowboys. And that John Wayne told him the world will hate him for shooting him in the back and Bruce quipped yeah but they will love me in Berkley.
HAHA!
John Fain and Cicero Grimes, both played by Richard Boone, were outlaws who outgeniused themselves by taking on anti-heros. You've almost convinced me to subscribe.😉
Richard Boone early on played a few good guys, and never impressed me. His bad guy is just terrific.
@@ArizonaGhostriders He was one of the actors referred to as "He's so ugly, he's handsome."
Alan Rickman in Quigley Down Under, Emillio Estevez in Young Guns and Val Kilmer as Doc in Tombstone. We see Doc Holiday as on the side of the "good guys" yet we see his killer side too. Even Ringo is leery of taking on Doc.
Yep, and you're list can vary!
I truly enjoyed the video as always. So hard for me to pick my favorite baddy. I always enjoy the gentleman bad guy.
Good choice!
Santee is my favorite Villain ! 😂
LOL!
Honorable Mention: Dirty Dan
@@ashleywilkerson8289 yes
John Russel? Was in the western series, Lawman.
Yep. He played a bad guy in Rio Bravo, and confederate guerilla in Outlaw Josey Wales.
I find it interesting that im aware of and or have seen most of these movies, but could not have named a single one of these villains before hand, except for maybe Johnny Ringo. I tend to focus on / care more about the good guy than the bad guy. One of my favorites is Quigley down under, and I can never remember the nsme of the bad guy played by Alan Rickman.
He's a bad one, alright! RIP Alan Rickman
@@ArizonaGhostriders Bogue in the magnificent seven was pretty bad too. One thing they both have in common is that they hired killers a lot more than actually getting their hands dirty which in some ways makes them worse.
I would have out Bruce Derb in the Cowboys at the top. A great list though
That works.
I'd have to give Calvera in The Magnificent Seven an honorable mention.
OK!
All the villains in Blazzing Saddles.
HA!
I'd like to mention Samuel L. Jackson as Stephen in Django Unchained. An elderly slave who pretended to be disabled to enjoy the benefits of being a house slave while using his unique position to manipulate his own master and fellow slaves.
Yeah, he was pretty bad.
Great list Santee!!! Glad too see Richard Boone get some love from Big Jake. Probably my favorite villian performance in any movie.
Cool!
Awesome video Santee or the BIG BOSS. HAHAHA. Great video. There is no real Western Movie without a really awesome villain or two or three. HAHAHA. 👍👍👍
LOL!
A little early for the period, more of an "Eastern" than a western, Wes Studi as Magua, in The Last Of The Mohicans
Great movie
Honorable mention, Jack Palance in Shane.
Yep
Top tier list! ...not that I'm biased or anything!
Thanks!
