Lee van Cleef is the baddest badass of all time

[hankedful]

Jack Palance was no pushover either, I enjoy his work.

My personal body guards in Hell I hope.

@Tareltonlives And they are in two of the most classic gunfights in western history. Jack Palance against Alan Ladd in Shane and Lee Van Cleef against Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallach at the end of Good, Bad and Ugly. Well Van Cleef was also one of the gunmen after Gary Cooper at the end of 1952's High Noon.

man i always love seeing legends working together, even in a commercial. love both of these guys, they were so intimidating with there eyes and cold stares. i miss actors like that.

Lee Van Cleef and Jack Palance should have had their own TV series

[RobWillieJesse]

And ever since this commercial, the warranty Midas gives you ends with the words "Believe it - or not!"

Ahhhhh, JACK PALANCE and LEE VAN CLEEF. Zusammen mit DAN DURYEA und JACK ELAM die besten "Bad Boys" der Filmgeschichte. Allesamt auch Lieblingsschauspieler meines Vaters, der all die grossen Westernfilme der 50/60er im Kino gesehen hatte und sie zusammen mit mir als kleinem Jungen dann später am TV nochmals ansah und mich stets auf diese grossen Schauspieler aufmerksam machte. Und jetzt sind sie alle im Himmel, mein Vater, die beiden Jack, Dan und Lee.

God's Gun might not have been a great film, but goddammit this commercial makes up for it.

@SparrowVanCleef 'God's Gun' wasn't great but a film with Lee van Cleef and Jack Palance has at least two things going for it. This advert is great though...could have made a great, and weird, sitcom.

@normanby100 Well they both appeared in 'God's Gun', which is not the best Western, and was made in (mainly) Israel, I believe, by Italians, but it is as authentic as the next. I do not by the ''real Westerns are from the USA'' talk, because it is only a setting and era, just as medieval films. Is it right to say that the only real Robin Hood films are made in England and the only real King Arthur films are made in Wales? What about real Roman films, shouldn't they be from Italy?
