Don’t forget he was “The Man With The Golden Gun” who battled James Bond, too.

Neat story about his serving in Finland against the Soviets.
Anti-Soviet and anti-Nazi. Definitely both pluses.

When setting up the scene for Saurman’s Death by being stabbed in the back by Wormtounge, the Peter Jackson tried to tell him what noises to make when he got stabbed.

Lee told him that he new quite well what sounds a man makes when he gets stabbed in the back. No one questioned him beyond that.

I have a book about Sherlock Holmes, sort of a Sherlock Encyclopedia.

I noticed Christopher Lee had written a nice introduction, he clearly knew a lot about Sherlock.

Lee did a great job as Sherlock Holmes in The Hound of the Baskerville remake.

So he was with the Nazi’s before he was against them? He sounds confused.

“The Wicker Man” was chilling. I have it on DVD. I think I will watch it again today, before Denny Hamlin wins Richmond!

In one the of extra interviews included on the 'Lord of the Rings' collectors DVD, Brad Dourif (Grima Wormtongue) recounted how Christopher Lee showed him how to accurately portray someone dying from a stab or piercing wound to the lungs.

Knowing that Lee served in WWII, Dourif said that he did not ask him how he knew this first hand.

Classic!

A trick question is how many movies has Sir Christopher Lee been killed or died in? One can only guess, because as of right now, he has no fewer than *four* movies in post-production.

I don’t even have a rough estimate.
