Mr. Lee and Ed Wood

Did you know that Mr. Lee was "involved" with a film in which Ed Wood appeared in (as "Man In Crowd"). Mr. Lee did not do it voluntary but it is cool anyway that Mr. Lee can be linked to another Cult Figure.
He was a very bad director but he loved the movies. And in the end he got the success he always wanted even if it was after his death (The movie about his life won an Oscar).

So can you name the movie which links Mr. Lee and Ed Wood ?

Here is another Trivia Question for you.

Which actor played a role in an Ed Wood movie as well a Steven Spielberg movie ?

Can you name the movies ?

Not only that he survived it as an actor to have appeared in an Ed Wood movie, his career even took off after that. He made movies with Gregory Peck , Tony Curtis , Brooke Shields , Sally Field , Beau Bridges , Kurt Russell , Lee Marvin , Gene Hackman,
Charlton Heston , Henry Fonda , James Coburn , Robert Mitchum,
Robert Duvall and at least four Clint Eastwood movies !

Pretty impressive for an Ed Wood actor, isn´t it ?

I don't know about the first question but I'm pretty sure the guy you're talking about in the second is Gregory Walcott . He played the cop on the trail of Clint in the Every Which way films and a hapeless CIA man in The Eiger Sanction . I'm not sure what Speilberg film he was in but I'll guess 1941 ?

Gregory Walcott is right.
But the movie is not 1941. Take another guess. :)

I really have'nt a clue but I'll have one last guess........ " Duel "

"Duel" was close. It was the next movie he did after "Duel" (excluding the TV movies Savage and Something )

Does this now ring a bell ? :)

A hint on the Mr. Lee/Ed Wood movie :

Trivia :
Christopher Lee has stated that he had no idea he was appearing in this film. He said that he was hired by a different producer to narrate an entirely different film, and that the producer apparently sold Lee's footage, without his permission, to the producers of this film, who then advertised it as "starring Christopher Lee." He initiated legal action against this film's producers, but withdrew it when he was advised that it would be a long, drawn-out and expensive procedure.

Like I said before Mr. Lee didn´t do it voluntarily.

1. The Sugarland Express.

2. Meatcleaver Massacre?

Well done , Alfonso. Both answers are right.
"The Sugarland Express" is from 1974 and the main character of this movies is played by Goldie Hawn .

Here is a plot summary :

Lou-Jean, a blonde woman, tells her husband, who is imprisoned, to escape. They plan to kidnap their own child, who was placed with foster parents. The escape is partly successful, they take a hostage, who is a policeman and are pursued through to Texas...
