I played a dying man once, in a play directed by my brother-in-law

All I had to do is die.

Can I be the one henchman with the ridiculous Face fur? :smile:

No, you may not. You may however be the tart with the heart of gold, who gets thrown off of the balcony onto the poker table by the henchman with the ridiculous face fur.

Finally, my dream role!:joy:

An Oscar may be in the pipeline :smiley:

Anti-Hero: Gian Maria Volonte
Villian: Giuliano Gemma
Actress: Gina Rovere

Director: Tonino Valerii

Composer: Luis Bacalov

Take the usual roles of the two main actors and see how flipping them around would work. Valerii should have no problem creating something interesting from these two.

I wrote a synopsis for a Spaghetti Western/Lupin III hybrid. Here’s my combination from that assignment.

Anti-Hero: Tomas Milian
Anti-Heroine: Charlotte Rampling
Ally: Franco Nero
Villianess: Isuzu Yamada
Hero Antagonist: Toshiro Mifune or Gian Maria Volonte

Writer: Me, Leone, Corbucci, Sollima, Donati, Gastaldi, Vincenzoni, Solinas, Mickey Knox

Cinematography: Tonino Delli Colli

Editing: Franco Arcalli

Composer: Yuji Ohno, Ennio Morricone, Riz Ortolani

Producer: Joseph E. Levine, Alberto Grimaldi

Director: Me (in the styles of Leone and Corbucci)

Nice, love Lupin III. It would be interesting to see a Spaghetti Western with a heavier Japanese presence.

Nice to meet a fellow fan. Milian’s performance as Beauregard Bennet in Face to Face is strikingly similar (in my opinion) to Yasuo Yamada’s darker portrayals of Lupin, in both voice and physical expression.

Hi all lovers of SW Films,

I hope this idea hasn’t already been done, but I’d like to see any fans ideas of what the ideal cast for an SW would be. These can be classic actors or stalwarts of the genre, or people who dabbled briefly in the field, but definitely should’ve continued on. Fans can even list actors who’ve already worked together, and appeared in the same film. The only criteria is a choice of following: Two actors who should’ve teamed up, Four to Five actors who should’ve worked together, and a cast list of 10 to 20 people. Any combination of these criteria is OK, so long as everyone has fun with this, Enjoy. To get the ball rolling, I’ll give some of my ideas.

Lee Van Cleef and Gianni Garko as a team

Lee Van Cleef and Chuck Connors as adversaries

Franco Nero and Lee Van Cleef as a team or adversaries

Tomas Milian and Lee Van Cleef reunited

Franco Nero and Tomas Milian reunited

Franco Nero and Chuck Connors as a team or adversaries

Johnny Halladay and Chuck Connors as adversaries

Franco Nero, Lee Van Cleef, Klaus Kinski, Gordon Mitchell, and Mario Adorf

Lee Van Cleef, Chuck Connors, Gianni Garko, Frank Wolff, and Jose Torres

Johnny Halladay, Fernando Sancho, Robert Woods, Nello Pazzafini, and Jose Calvo

Tomas Milian, Chuck Connors, Anthony Steffen, Klaus Kinski, and Piero Lulli,

Tomas Milian, Johnny Hallady, Frank Wolff, Piero Lulli, Jose Torres, Frank Brana, Antonio Molino Rojo, Benito Steffalini, and Mario Brega

Gianni Garko, George Hilton, Fernando Sancho, Roberto Camardiel, Aldo Sambrell, Nello Pazzafini, Franco Citti, Frank Brana,

Lee Van Cleef, Gianni Garko, Johnny Hallady, Eduardo Fajardo, Horst Frank, Klaus Kinski, Jose Calvo, Frank Brana, Mario Brega, and Philippe Leroy

Robert Woods, Gordon Mitchell, Craig Hill, Antonio Casas, Franco Citti, Piero Lulli, Luis Induni, Antonio Molino Rojo, Paco Sanz, and Rick Boyd.

But you basically mixed everyone with everyone else. :smiley: Except for Steffen. Where the hell is Steffen, the toughest guy of the West.
Anyway, offtopic, but I always wanted Tomas Milian play that jaguar poncho gunslinger in Requiem for a gringo.

Thanks 4 the reply.

What I wrote down as examples are some of my dream team ups/casts, if yours is say Kirk Douglas, John Wayne, and Gary Cooper in an SW, that’s cool and interesting too. What I’m looking for are people’s dreams of who’d make the perfect team or cast in SW, and if it’s say an All American cast, an All German one, all French, all Japanese, please feel free to share it here. This is a free reign topic to be creative with, don’t be shy.

I too think Tomas Milian would’ve been interesting as the Ross Logan character in Requiem, especially after seeing him in Squadra Volante, where like Ross, the character is restrained and methodical.

That looks like an interesting movie, never really got into watching anything else with Milian besides spaghs.

I recently revisited Today We Kill, Tomorrow We Die, and though I liked it, I found myself a little disappointed in the execution. I would love to see a spaghetti Seven Samurai style set-up with some of the leading actors of the spaghetti years: van Cleef (who did play Chris Adams once, in Magnificent Seven Ride), Nero, Spencer & Hill, Gemma, Milian, Garko, maybe, facing off against Eduardo Fajardo, Horst Frank and Klaus Kinski? I’m trying to think of actors more represented in my favorite spaghettis than those.
