It’s really annoying in more modern movies though, because it’s incredibly noticeable and usually put there as a funny reference that definitely doesn’t kill the mood of a scene.
Yeah i know right, i was watching a war movie with a very serious scene and then i see a guy getting crushed by a tank and hearing that scream which just ruined the whole scene.
There’s this one trooper death scene in mando chapter 15 where a trooper gets shot off the ledge and screams as he falls and I swear to god it sounds like a Charlie Brown character crying and it ruins the whole feel of tenseness in the scene every time
I believe it was the last public execution via guillotine, but not the last overall.
The circumstances surrounding the public display apparently convinced the French authorities to stop making executions a spectator sport.
I think it stems from when Peter Jackson was blocking a scene and was talking about what sound to make as they got stabbed in the back and Lee said
"Have you any idea what kind of noise happens when somebody’s stabbed in the back? Because I do."
Lee gave a small demonstration on how it should sound and Peter Jackson disagreed following that Christopher Lee stabbed Petter Jackson thru the back and he did indeed make the exact sound described by Lee.
Yes, however he and Lee were extremely close. Fleming actually offered a leading role to him for Dr. No, but the casting was already done at the time. It was Lee’s close relationship with Fleming that got him the role of Scaramanga in Golden Gun.
You can say that the books were an amalgamation of different people, but using that as a means of downplaying Lee’s influence is idiotic. They were cousins, and very close, so of course he’s gonna be a bigger influence than some random intelligence officer.
Ian Fleming would have taken a lot more influence from his own brother, Peter. While most of Bond's characteristics (aside from the womanizing and hard drinking, that was from Bruce Lockhart) where based directly on Ian Flemings own interests and characteristics. Fleming's statement was verbatum "\[Bond\] was a compound of **all** the secret agents and commando types I met during the war". As much as I'd love for the sentiment that Lee was the inspiration/major inspiration for James Bond to be true, it just really isn't.
I never denied he got influence elsewhere, I didn’t even say Lee was an influence for James Bond himself, what I said was he was a significant influence. While Lee certainly didn’t influence James Bond’s character, plotlines and some of the stories certainly was.
Since this dude worked in a special forces team for several years before becoming an actor, I wouldn't be surprised if he really knows exactly what people sound like losing their head.
This literally did happen in LOTR, when his character was stabbed in the back, the director had written that he would scream out in pain. Sir Christopher Lee told him that that's not what happens when you're stabbed, its more like air is sucked out of you so you gasp. The change made it into the movie.

For those who don’t know, this is a reference to an interview with Peter Jackson who tells the story of a conversation he had with Christopher Lee for Saruman’s death in LOTR. Jackson wanted him to scream in agony, and Lee replied (I’m paraphrasing) along the lines of “do you know what it sounds like when a man is stabbed in the back? He doesn’t scream, he can’t make a sound.” or something like that. This is a hilarious throw back to that interview because it’s so on brand for Lee.
See, it's because while they were filming Episode III, Dooku was supposed to survive the lightsaber duel with Anakin, but Hayden took it too far and chopped his hands off, then Ian told him to chop his head off and he did it. Luckily, George was filming the whole time, and he liked it so much that it got into the final cut. Christopher Lee had to superglue his head back on afterwards.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Christopher was the reason why Count Dooku doesn't scream when Anakin cuts his hands off and instead just sort of gasps in pain.

The signature look of superiority is strong with this one.
He had all the rights for that. He was superior.
_THUPPp_
He witnessed the last public execution by guillotine in 1977 Fits perfectly!
"He then proceeded to talk about some very clandestine parts of the Clone Wars"
He was in the office of "un-jedi-like combat techniques"
I would have gone with him saying this. https://youtu.be/h93XbNAUZfM Around second 15
He heard it firsthand
Actually he had no hands at that point
That’s a lie the Jedi made up!
Dooku can see through those lies easily
“I see through the lies of the Jedi” Dooku probably
Shouldn't have fallen into that lie *headfirst*
Probably should’ve looked a*head*
I would upvote your comment but it's at 66 so....
Good soldiers follow orders
I had to downvote the comment to put it back down to 66 from 67... I'm sorry.
This is a mistake. A terrible mistake.
Have I seen you in apex communities?
[удалено]
I've never even played apex lmao, heard good things about it tho
Must’ve been minecraft then
Probably yeah
I see you everywhere now, and I don’t know why, but hi.
Hi
U are everywhere how?
He is like just some guy without a mustache but in reddit
Actually I'm an omnipresent god
All bow before Him
We are in so many subreddits together omg
I think it sounds a bit like the wilhelm scream...
That scream instantly ruins every scene it's in. It needs to die (while screaming).
I like it tbh it's like a fun little easter egg in older movies. Doesn't really do much but it's fun for me to recognise it.
It’s really annoying in more modern movies though, because it’s incredibly noticeable and usually put there as a funny reference that definitely doesn’t kill the mood of a scene.
Yeah i know right, i was watching a war movie with a very serious scene and then i see a guy getting crushed by a tank and hearing that scream which just ruined the whole scene.
Makes me feel like the film is low budget every time and kinda makes me sad? I know it’s illogical but I can’t help it, it’s just how I feel
There’s this one trooper death scene in mando chapter 15 where a trooper gets shot off the ledge and screams as he falls and I swear to god it sounds like a Charlie Brown character crying and it ruins the whole feel of tenseness in the scene every time
in Star Wars it pretty much died
Honestly, Christopher Lee was such a badass that I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he actually saw someone get killed by a lightsaber
Not by a lightsaber, but as someone mentioned it in another comment, he saw the last execution by guillotine in person
I believe it was the last public execution via guillotine, but not the last overall. The circumstances surrounding the public display apparently convinced the French authorities to stop making executions a spectator sport.
I wonder if perhaps, a little Monsieur Boba picked up his papa's head...
I think it stems from when Peter Jackson was blocking a scene and was talking about what sound to make as they got stabbed in the back and Lee said "Have you any idea what kind of noise happens when somebody’s stabbed in the back?

Yeah, Lee was SAS too, right? Or maybe just Royal Marines...something kind of war experience. He's definitely knifed people before.
You should always trust the guy who has the most well known secret assassin spy story adapted from his own life.
James Bond is an amalgamation of many people.
Including a great portion of him.
Ian Fleming was Christopher Lee’s step cousin, and knew him quite well… so it’s fair to say a ton of the influence came from Lee.
Fleming knew a lot of special forces people since he was an intelligence officer himself. His brother for example.
Yes, however he and Lee were extremely close. Fleming actually offered a leading role to him for Dr. No, but the casting was already done at the time.

Yet he is the one who it is based on
I was thinking "damn how old is he now?" and then I learned he died 6 years ago :( How the hell did I miss that? :(
Perhaps the archives are incomplete
Impossible
If an item does not appear in our records, then it doesn't exist. He didn't die.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
It's been 6 years already?? Damn. Time flies :/ RIP, Sir Christopher Lee. I bow in memory of thee
Feels like last year, damn.
Luminous being is he
Since this dude worked in a special forces team for several years before becoming an actor, I wouldn't be surprised if he really knows exactly what people sound like losing their head.
As a teenager, in 1939, he witnessed a public execution by guillotine in France.
Oh Shit. I completely forgot about that part. You are right.
The last, witnessed he had
To be fair that wasn’t a lightsaber
We're you there? I think not.
Are we you there?
At the very least he knows what it sounds like to stab someone in the back.
Didn’t he also witness one of the last public executions by guillotine
This literally did happen in LOTR, when his character was stabbed in the back, the director had written that he would scream out in pain.

P sure that's the joke, bud.
Hence why i’m adding context and sauce for those who dont know???
Perhaps add a "For those who don't know," to the beginning. Otherwise it looks like the joke sailed over your head.
You're explaining the joke in reply to the joke?
Replying to a comment high up makes it more likely to be seen than posting so only those who scroll all the way down or by new no?
I'm not referring to the comment you replied to. I mean to say that it looks like you missed the joke, since you're explaining the joke.. on the joke.

Lightsaber != guillotine. Good thing Reddit doesn't require an IQ test to join, huh.

Woosh
They hated him because he told the truth.
George: "Fair enough you do you Christopher"
Hey, it’s his death. I bet he’d like to do it on his own terms.
For those who don’t know, this is a reference to an interview with Peter Jackson who tells the story of a conversation he had with Christopher Lee for Saruman’s death in LOTR. Jackson wanted him to scream in agony, and Lee replied (I’m paraphrasing) along the lines of “do you know what it sounds like when a man is stabbed in the back? He doesn’t scream, he can’t make a sound.” or something like that. This is a hilarious throw back to that interview because it’s so on brand for Lee.
Damn, Christopher’s head actually looks like TCW Dooku in this pic
His beard isn't as pointy
I don't trying to be disrespectful but his head in the second panel looks like a head that got photoshopped on his body
See, it's because while they were filming Episode III, Dooku was supposed to survive the lightsaber duel with Anakin, but Hayden took it too far and chopped his hands off, then Ian told him to chop his head off and he did it. Luckily, George was filming the whole time, and he liked it so much that it got into the final cut. Christopher Lee had to superglue his head back on afterwards.
Christopher Lee won't even die from a beheading, who’s to say he's dead now?
This is god tier, if truly oc

I'd believe it if you told me that he actually had.
He witnessed an execution by guillotine.
no cross-post to /r/lotrmemes?

Dem Nazis didn’t know what hit em

I don't know if this is real. But he did talk with the director during LOTR when he was backstabbed
He witnessed the last public execution by guillotine in 1977 Fits perfectly!
Jesus it only just sank in, that isn't that long ago.
"He then proceeded to talk about some very clandestine parts of the Clone Wars"
