Son Of Frankenstein - Ygor humiliates the court that hanged him

LEGEND BELA LUGOSI AND MASTER OF HORROR is being asked some questions by the court. One of the best scenes in the movie!

[@baxter5431]

"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.

[@satinboxx]

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

[@saintcruzin]

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....

[@maralinekozial9131]

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 ❤

[@saintcruzin]

@@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.”

[@maralinekozial9131]

​@@saintcruzin yes but originally Bela did not enjoy Karloff until he actually saw how good of a person he was

[@musclen2phat]

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!

[@gavintrimble7100]

I had no idea that was Bela Lugosi legendary actor

[@youdon1234]

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.

[@madkittyjoey70]

I laughed when Ygor deliberately coughed on the guy.

[@normanby100]

They edited out a later part of the scene where he farts in the face of another juror.

[@TheDUDERulez1]

Man, James Rolfe was right; Bella's performance really steals the show. Gotta watch the full thing.

[@michaelpiper5465]

I love me some Igor he was sinister evil and funny i guess he told them i love this movie

[@garykass114]

"And all the others Berger's pronounced dead for the last thirty years have been dead. Haven't they?" Priceless.

[@haroldgaffney246]

One of Lugosi's BEST roles

[@normanby100]

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!"

[@docmalthus]

Much like his turn as Dracula in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein....."Ah you young people! Making the most of life...while it lasts!" kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5nUpnaHntenapo

[@vinceleone3952]

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.

[@garykass114]

Don't you just love how the villagers are warning a man they despise-Ygor-to be careful?

[@LucasMartins-dy6no]

The best performance by Bela.

[@leonhunter1839]

I forgot how cool that was.

[@jayrosen6663]

He stole this scene and the film! From Rathbone, Karloff, and Atwill, quite a feat!!!

[@ruth7603]

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.

[@Drac39]

Interesting fact the two councilmen Ygor has killed are both serving on the town council in the sequel

[@jayrosen6663]

"Because I stole bodies....they said"! Bela introducing himself to Basil Rathbone. LOL

[@lynnkay417]

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!

[@SquigglyBeasst]

Thanks for posting! Now I need to find the clip with "Eight men say Ygor hang, but Ygor live! Now, eight men... dead!"

[@baxter5431]

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.

[@musclen2phat]

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!

[@Phantom_gtx]

Lugosi is the best Ygor of all time

[@Phantom_gtx]

Lagosi S star role

[@columbiafermi4641]

My all-time favorite KZbin clip!

[@baxter5431]

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.

[@CaseyKaufman-fu6ic]

He reminds me of Quint from Jaws.

[@hubbsllc]

The prototype for Zathras. Or maybe...Zathras. Zathras trained in crisis management.

[@HeavensSlave1]

Those were their brothers. *G*

[@1middlesbrough]

Boris Karloff real name John Pratt from Bristol in the UK

[@anneelizabeth2888]

No, John Pratt was a brodher Boris Karloff. Real name Boris Karloff William Henry Pratt.

[@jayrosen6663]

William Henry Pratt

[@kevinblake3809]

2:30 That's funny!!!

[@lestoil]

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.

[@MisterBill593]

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.

[@jayrosen6663]

Les Toil, Bela was a horrible actor?

[@ruth7603]

He wasn't over the top at all. And he was an excellent actor. His Dracula is subtle and sinister.

[@johnvoice815]

ILB (I love Bela).
