"Machines, all kinds. Wheels go round, electric lighting comes out. Bottles: big ones, little ones. He doctor. I no understand his business. I...blacksmith." Ygor is Lugosi's second most identifiable character. Someone who started out his career playing romantic leads in Hungary & Germany ending up as Ygor. Ironic to say the least, but he was a consummate & unfortunately underrated actor.
"They die, dead! I die, live!" This is an awesome scene with Lugosi. I like his Ygor character better than Dracula. Still don't get how he came back in Ghost of Frankenstein, though, after his death in this movie.
At 2:12 - 2:16 Ygor says, "They die, dead! I die, live!" and he laughs about it! Creepy, but funny at the same time! Priceless! I love these old movies!
The original Frankenstein was melodramatic and over the top. But I thought Son of Frankenstein with Basil Rathbone was brilliant. And Bela Lugosi's performance of Ygor was incredible. Thanks for this clip.
Bela stole this film. The Igor character he created is perfect and legendary. I love how his cough turned into a laugh as he left the town elders. Brilliant performance....
He kinda had to steal the film considering he always hated playing roles with no dialogue hence why he turned down Frankenstein & they gave the role to Karloff so it makes sense he tried to shine above Karloff in this film considering Karloff was making millions after Frankenstein & Bela was only making tens of thousands after Dracula plus Bela actually hated Karloff because of that reason but Karloff actually was such a nice guy & friend & gentlemen that he actually helped support Bela when his career started to fail !!!! Talk about a actual angel & a gentleman & a real friend ❤
@@maralinekozial9131 According to his daughter and many friends Bela respected Boris and both had a high regard for each other. There never was animosity……Only in “Ed Wood.”
Ygor was one of Universals greatest.The masterful make up from Jack Pierce and the superb acting of Bela Lugosi make Ygor one of my favorites.Thank you.
I like the chilling look Ygor gives the 2 surviving jurors. You can practically see the wheels of his dark mind turning. "Enjoy it while you can! It may be shorter than you think!"
Much like his turn as Dracula in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein....."Ah you young people! Making the most of life...while it lasts!" czcams.com/video/qhquCQirt48/video.html
One of my Favorite Scenes! Béla was such an Amazing actor! Jack Pierce's makeup skills were awesome too; Between the two talents, you'd otherwise not even know this was Lugosi!
They always figuire out a way to bring them back no matter how illogical! That's what makes these old movies so much fun! Glad they're still around. These movies are lost on a whole generation who can't enjoy them because they're in black and white and have no guts, blood, gratuitous violence and profane language in them!
Yes, I know but thanks! And when he first starred in '31's Frankenstein, he'd already been in movies almost 20 years as a bit player/extra. Lon Chaney Sr. advised him that if he wanted to succeed, he should play something no else was doing & do it well.
Bela Lugosi should have, as Karloff also should have, received an Oscar for their performances in these roles. They are unique and difficult characters that required a lot of raw talent and experience. Not like the pretty boy jerks of today's multi-million dollar flops. There are no more character parts and no more character actors today: then again there aren't any well written stories that grab the imagination and thrill people. Everything is CGI blow 'em up crapola today.
Bela was ALWAYS over-the-top and camp. A horrible actor you can't help but to love BECAUSE of his whacky delivery. His work in those Ed Wood movies was pure magic and a treasure.
You really should take in more of Lugosi's non-horror roles. He was over the top in many of his horror roles because otherwise the films would have been boring to watch. Lugosi knew what he was doing.

One of Bela Lugosi's finest roles here, and the evil Ygor.

I had no idea that was Bela Lugosi legendary actor

@@saintcruzin yes but originally Bela did not enjoy Karloff until he actually saw how good of a person he was
One of Lugosi's BEST roles
I laughed when Ygor deliberately coughed on the guy.
They edited out a later part of the scene where he farts in the face of another juror.
"And all the others Berger's pronounced dead for the last thirty years have been dead. Haven't they?" Priceless.

Man, James Rolfe was right; Bella's performance really steals the show. Gotta watch the full thing.
The best performance by Bela.
Don't you just love how the villagers are warning a man they despise-Ygor-to be careful?
Thanks for posting! Now I need to find the clip with "Eight men say Ygor hang, but Ygor live! Now, eight men... dead!"
I love me some Igor he was sinister evil and funny i guess he told them i love this movie
One of my Favorite Scenes! Béla was such an Amazing actor! Jack Pierce's makeup skills were awesome too; Between the two talents, you'd otherwise not even know this was Lugosi!
I forgot how cool that was.
My all-time favorite CZcams clip!
"Because I stole bodies....they said"! Bela introducing himself to Basil Rathbone. LOL
Interesting fact the two councilmen Ygor has killed are both serving on the town council in the sequel

The prototype for Zathras. Or maybe...Zathras. Zathras trained in crisis management.
Lugosi was so Central European. If you read about Hungary, you know it was a hot mess. Lugosi brought that tragic background to the role of Ygor.
Lugosi is the best Ygor of all time
Those were their brothers. *G*

Lagosi S star role
2:30 That's funny!!!
Boris Karloff real name John Pratt from Bristol in the UK
No, John Pratt was a brodher Boris Karloff. Real name Boris Karloff William Henry Pratt.
William Henry Pratt
Neumüller
He stole this scene and the film! From Rathbone, Karloff, and Atwill, quite a feat!!!

Les Toil, Bela was a horrible actor?
He wasn't over the top at all. And he was an excellent actor. His Dracula is subtle and sinister.
ILB (I love Bela).
