I wonder if I’m the only one in the world who sees a similarity between Lee Van Cleef in “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” and Benjamin Bratt in “The Great Raid.” If they should ever do a remake of TGTBATU (and I don’t know why anyone would) they should get Bratt to play… Continue reading Lee Van Cleef and Benjamin Bratt
