In Memoriam Peter Cushing

[OrodesIII]

He got very old looking.

[padleynj]

His greatest roll was in 1984 (1957)a BBC production that is a free-bee on the internet. A performance that he should have been more recognized as a serious actor and not one of the trash films he was in.

[mikeismad61]

Peter Cushing’s contribution to Dr Who gained some (long overdue) recognition in The Nine Lives of Doctor Who published in 1999, it seems that he enjoyed his time as the Doctor and of course it helped him obtain other similar roles such as appearing in Space 1999and Star Wars. Thank you Peter for all the hours of pleasure you have given and continue to give to the World

St. Peter!

[Herkko94]

I will always remember him as commander Tarkin from the New Hope. He was just great

[SPeacock]

@Herkko94 He also had a supporting role in the 1985 film "Biggles: Adventures in Time" - he played Biggles's commanding officer, William Raymond. It turned out to be his final acting role. :)

[Herkko94]

@SPeacock Haha I'm sure he was great :D

[92af]

Peter Cushing was a amazing actor

[tabbygail7]

Cushing as Baron Frankenstein. Just doesn't get any better. Charm, elegance, sophistication, and villany.

[lucatramonti]

great actor!! LOL

[StormtrooperOli]

Tarkin the Best

[Pontios25]

He had class. Can't say we see much of it nowadays.

[Ogobogo]

Der beste und symphatischte Schauspieler aller Zeiten!!!

[randomdave30]

I think one of his best performances was as the Baron in Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed. Pity he didn't play more villains.

[Edam3000]

Was Peter caught un-awares at 5:12 (when he's huddled in that coat) ?

Or was it part of an act ?

[resnoex1]

He is, and will be the only Professor Van Helsing in the cinema history!!!

[mysticmagic4760]

Great video.

[tarrega2]

Great actor...what is this music??

[madfury]

[Thespilian]

Daleks Invasion Earth. the two before are Orson Welles' Great Mysteries: La Grande Breteche and The Vampire Lovers, in case my time count varies. ;)

[Tyreleon]

The world needs more actors like him ...

[JOHN02099]

PETER CUSHING de niño como admire a este GRAN ACTOR su egnimatica personalidad y sus tetricos y misteriosos personajes, soy un admirador de lo GOTICO y el CINE NEGRO y el GRAN PETER FUE GRANDE EN SU GENERO...

[yusei85]

a mi tambien me fascino de niño, cuando veia alucine en la 2 a escondidas... que recuerdos.....

[rodrigoraulsuarez]

There is not horror masters like this one in the new horror movies. People like Cushing creates another kind of atmosphere. The man was a great actor really.

[randomdave79]

Yes, he was.

[supremeobliterator]

As a big Star Wars fan, thank you. I have been meaning to someday see what else he played in and watch it.

I have two versions of his SW action figure !

[AdenaKaiba]

and which film was the pic at 1:29 taken from please ?

thanks :)

[GouverneurReinhard]

If you mean that with the black board behind him it's also from "The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires"! The one after this is from "Horror Express"!

[AdenaKaiba]

yes that's it, thank you very much !

[Edam3000]

Which film was the pic. at 1:48 taken from ?

The one where Peter's wearing the white hat, and there's a Chinese/Japanese woman at his side ?

Thanks.

[GouverneurReinhard]

It's from Hammer's last Dracula film "The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires" (1974)! In this one Peter Cushing plays his Prof. Van Helsing for the fifth and last time! Count Dracula is embodied by John Forbes-Robertson, who - of course - replaced Christopher Lee...

[Edam3000]

Thank you :)

[stangeli7]

I'm wondering why we don't see more of his movies in Europe lately. I loved them.

[lanciego]

GOD BLESS YOU

Amazing collection of photographs of the late, great Peter Cushing. Still the best Van Helsing ever portrayed on screen. He brought class to every film he ever starred in. RIP dear man.
