As a kid who mainly saw movies at the drive in, I was always impressed by Woody Strode in “The Professionals” and “Spartacus”
Woody Strode was an exceptionally good actor.
“The Professionals” is one of the best westerns made. Interesting enough it was the only western Director Richard Brooks made in his entire career, but it was a great one and up for several Academy Awards that year. I believe it was one of Woody Strode’s favorite pictures and maybe the only one he ever did where his name was above the title with the other big stars. I love to watch it every time it comes on. All four of the main stars had great chemistry together.
Here is a link to some trivia on the picture: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060862/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv
