Speaker 1: Having an interviewed a lot of.

19
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: Actors over the years, I've always loved asking in a movie,

20
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: would they rather play a GOODI or Baddy?

21
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: It's always Baddy.

22
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: You longer opinions about the great baddies who have scared us,

23
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: who are so evil.

24
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: Who actually hate them at times don't you.

25
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: You really are, But there have been some amazing performances

26
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 2: from Actus and movie baddies, so they can only be four.

27
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: So who has to be on a mount rushmore of

28
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:15,480

00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:15,959

32
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: Who are you going to be going for?

33
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 3: Well, we were talking about Batman just earlier. Heath Ledger's

34
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: joker is right up there.

35
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: Why soul serious? What a performance? Brilliant?

36
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 3: He was fantastic. I mean, are we going for the

37
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 3: scariest or most lunatic? I mean all of that? Yeah,

38
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 3: and that's what he was. A complete madman. I wouldn't

39
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 3: want to come up against him any day of the week.

40
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: Now. He looked terrifying as well.

41
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: The makeup that was all kind of weird than just

42
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: in those in that movie as well. When he's not

43
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: in scenes, you're you're just twitching about where is he?

44
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: What's he up to? Yeah?

45
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: And Christian BeO is amazing the whole Dark Knight trilogy.

46
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: Christian Bow is an incredible act. Time You've never seen

47
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: Christian Bell in a bad movie just becomes these characters

48
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: and you know he transforms his bodies and his accents.

49
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: Wouldn't believe he's a British guy, but he's a great. However,

50
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 2: you know, Christian BeO, I'm sure would admit he is

51
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: blown off the screen by the charisma, the evil charisma

52
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: of Heath Ledger's amazing performance as the Joker.

53
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 4: When you think of the Dark Knight, you think a Hitler.

54
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: Absolutely not to.

55
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 3: Take anything away from Jack Jaquin Phoenix's call Jack.

56
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: Jack Phoenix, home Mate Phoenix, Joe Phoenix, I love him.

57
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 3: He would be my next best joker. Then Jared Lado

58
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: in Suicide Sure.

59
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: Go through a separate mount rushmore just jokers now a.

60
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 4: Lot over the years there, and then Jack Nicholson last.

61
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 2: Yeah he was more comical comedy joker. Yeah, But Heath

62
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: Ledgers Joker, I think that has to go up there.

63
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: Not just I think in movie history one the greatest

64
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 2: performances from an actor ever. It's incredible and so powerful.

65
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: But in terms of baddies, he is terrifying and that

66
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: very good Patsy was it for you?

67
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 4: It's got to be Hannibal Lecter, doesn't it. From Silence

68
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 4: to the Lambs, he's got to be.

69
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: Up there and Hannibal Letter is your spirit animal.

70
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 4: To so many lines from that I ate his liver

71
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 4: with some father beans.

72
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: What's he for?

73
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 4: I thought that was you playing it from the original movie.

74
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: Now, I thought I'd find off the clip by accident.

75
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: Then what a powerful accent there.

76
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: You can't spot the difference between what parts he just

77
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 2: reenacted and from the actual movie. Let's play it now.

78
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: The census taker once tried to test me. I ate

79
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: his lever with some father beans and a nice candy.

80
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: Movie terrified me that movie.

81
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: Because like, who's the worst bad guy in that? Because

82
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bill guy is just as bad.

83
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: You see the guy with that down that pits. Is

84
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: he passed the lotion? Yes he is.

85
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: Buffero Bill is actually more terrifying. But Anti Hopkins says,

86
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: Hannibal Letter is a terrifying Baddy Patsy. And what is

87
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: the last scene of the movie where he's chilling just

88
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: on the phone, you know what he calls her?

89
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: Is he at the airport and he's somewhere else? Isn't

90
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: he on.

91
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: In the white suit in the Panama hand? He's about

92
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: to kill and eat somebody else, isn't he? So yeah,

93
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: I think you make a strong case there, Patsy.

94
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: For me, it has to be this guy, I am

95
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: your father to me.

96
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 2: As a kid, I've been a big fan of Star

97
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: Wars movies. I found him terrifying. It was everything about him.

98
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: He was just Darth Vader was just huge in so

99
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: many ways, not just as evilness, but he just feels

100
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: he was this big.

101
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: He was this.

102
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: Huge, the cloak, the helmet, and way ahead of COVID.

103
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: He had that mask. No COVID for old Darthy boy.

104
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: The whole breathing and the even when he wasn't talking

105
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 2: or choking out his henchmen or villains and stuff like that.

106
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: He was incredible.

107
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: And then there's the fact that he goaded his son

108
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: Luke into a lightsaber jewel and chopped off his own

109
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: son's hands.

110
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: That's how evil he was a father.

111
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: You guys are parents, You would never do that.

112
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: I'd like to think not, but you can never.

113
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 3: You know, home schooling's getting a bit annoying.

114
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: So for me, it has to be Darth Vader. I

115
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: was terrified and amazed and equal measures as a kid

116
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 2: by Darth Vader.

117
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: I just thought it was an incredible performance.

118
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: And many many years ago I was doing something and

119
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: I managed to actually go round to the actor that

120
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 2: is inside. Dave Prowse was the guy who was Darth

121
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: Vader the originally he was inside there. But Dave Prowse

122
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 2: is a big, big British guy who was a bodybuilder

123
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: and he got Christopher Reeve in shape for Superman. He's

124
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 2: a massive guy, and that's why George luc was like,

125
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: that's dark Fader, that guy would put him in the outfit.

126
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 2: Dave didn't know. Dave is from the West Country in England.

127
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: What you need to understand that is it's a lot

128
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 2: of farmers down that way and they speak a bit

129
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 2: late there. You know, it's not gonna be terrifying, Luke,

130
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 2: I am your father, that kind of They sound like bumpkins.

131
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 2: Dave didn't know, so he does the films all the

132
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: bits right, he doesn't. It takes his family to the

133
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: premiere of what's about to become the biggest movie in

134
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 2: the world and they see dar Vader and then they

135
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: hear and see another voice and it's not him. Jes

136
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 2: Lucas had forgotten, you know, when they just would tell

137
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 2: Dave later on that obviously he's not gonna be his

138
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 2: bumpkin voice as Darth Vader. We'll get James L. Jones

139
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: in post production. Here be Darth Vader. But no one

140
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 2: ever told. So he did all the lines in that

141
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: bloody great hell.

142
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 4: That's amazed.

143
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 3: You would think on set when he's going like, oh,

144
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: you want me to take that line again?

145
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: About that?

146
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: Dave, you have told Jane you're going to do it today,

147
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: weren't you in get him up there, he gets his taxi,

148
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 2: you know, and then Dave still has there.

149
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: But they made two original Dark Vader. He still has them.

150
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: And I went around his house and he showed me them.

151
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 2: I they're huge, really really heavy, and he said that,

152
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: you know, when you have home and contents insurance, yeah,

153
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 2: to put down if there's a certain I think there's

154
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: a limit. Isn't that of what they cover? Five or

155
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars? Because he's got the original Darth Vader helmet,

156
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: he had to apply for an extra kind of limit

157
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: on his Home and Contents insurance. And you know you

158
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: do it all over the phone, don't you. And it's
