message: The article now says, "His sharp features and piercing eyes made him an ideal "bad guy," though he was occasionally cast in a hero's role, such as a bounty hunter in For a Few Dollars More."
Occasionally?  Seems to me that he was cast as a hero quite often.  For example: "Death Rides a Horse," "The Magnificent Seven Ride," "Captain Apache," "The Big Gundown," "Grand Duel" and the two Sabata movies - and those are just the westerns! 
I think it's safe to say be played the good guy as often as the bad.  Monkey Bounce (talk) 15:51, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: He played 54 bad guys before he ever played a good guy, and then he played what could be called a good guy (sometimes that's stretching things) 31 times.  So it's almost two to one bad guys. Monkeyzpop (talk) 21:54, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Could someone please find out when he was divorced from his first two wives? It looks very un-encyclopediac, seeing a question mark there. 24.60.239.47 (talk) 22:54, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I just pulled up his movies and i'm not seeing the finger thing. What are we seeing here.  Pull up youtube and take a look.  i'll wait.69.122.62.231 (talk) 03:35, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: During the gunfight in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, the missing finger tip is exceedingly obvious.  It's somewhat obvious here:  http://content6.flixster.com/photo/10/05/85/10058596_tml.jpg.  There is a detailed photo from a 1962 TV episode showing Van Cleef's splinted and bandaged finger at http://disc.yourwebapps.com/discussion.cgi?disc=148193;article=16535;;pagemark=75 .  From this photo and from a discussion on the Lee Van Cleef web board that includes comments from Van Cleef's son, it's apparent that he lost the tip of his right middle finger in the fall of 1962.

message: in history could it be possible his surname was van der cleef? 
van cleef seems a bit too short for dutch standards. Markthemac (talk) 06:40, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: More likely, it would be "van Cleef" or "van der Cleef".  Why is this article titled "Lee Van Cleef", anyway?  In proper Dutch orthography it would be "Lee van Cleef", unless his family deliberately changed it after emigrating to America.—QuicksilverT @ 11:02, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Van Cleef was not a Dutchman, he was an American of Dutch extraction, and he and his family spelled the name "Van Cleef," with capitals, which is why the article properly presents the name that way.  Monkeyzpop (talk) 09:15, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: We should get a source for this.  I've seen many examples of his name in all-caps, but doesn't give one a clue about proper capitalization of the name.  The issue is bound to come up here repeatedly until it is authoritatively settled.—QuicksilverT @ 22:10, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: One easy way to know for sure how Van Cleef spelled/capitalized his name is to look at his film credits.  Actors contractually have final approval of the nature and spelling of their names in film credits.  In every one of Van Cleef's billed film appearances, he is billed as Van Cleef, not van Cleef.  His name appeared on the masthead of the Screen Actors Guild newsletter for years among the Guild board members, with the name capitalized Van Cleef.  SAG is quite precise about "official" spelling and capitalization of names. Monkeyzpop (talk) 08:50, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

message: There was a Arcade game where you had to quick draw several characters, One was based on Lee Van Cleef and he was fast, real fast. I was able to beat the game (quite a few people not happy with me, setting records on quick draws..you had to with that last try). Can someone do some research on the game.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:1000:4A66:55F7:4F2:7764:E411 (talk) 07:34, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
