Donald Pleasance was a great actor, no doubt. But for whatever reason he took roles in some dreadful movies. (I love many dreadful movies, so it's not a minus in my eyes.)
What's the worst movie you've seen him in? For me it's a toss-up between two Italian movies: the post-nuke 'action' movie Warrior of the Lost World, where Pleasance plays a Blofield-ish villain opposite Robert Ginty's puffy-faced mumbling dullard anti-hero; and Warrior Queen, where Pleasance played Clodius Flaucus, fictional ruler of Pompeii, opposite Sybil Danning & a host of porn stars.
Both of these movies make Halloween 6 look like Casablanca. Can anyone name a worse one?

This is a trick question, yes? He diminishes every film like a diminutive version of George Kennedy.

If you can find a movie with him that's worse than Puma Man, I will literally eat my hat.

I've just seen 'Warrior of the Lost World'. Put that in at number two.
Had Ginty just been to the dentist ?
And I almost take back about Pleasance being go7ecod even in bad movies, he's sleepwalking herebut is it intentional because he's not playing a human ?
Great set-up for a sequelwhy wasn't there one ? OhI see

I find Donald Pleasence one of those actors who appears in a lot of bad movies, but is never bad IN them.
May I suggest my top five-

  1. Puma Man
  2. Puma Man
  3. Puma Man
  4. Puma Man
  5. anderrPuma Man
    Perkinsthe Uncanny
    "Zombies, man. Creep me out"
    Oh ! I forgot 'Puma Man'did I mention that ?
