I am sure the first thing you think of when you hear the words "Lee Van Cleef", is ninja... I mean, why wouldn't you?In 1984 LVC had a weekly action series on NBC, called "The Master", where he played a (you guessed it), Ninja Master. The series was canceled after 13 episodes, and was later released as Master Ninja on VHS.
Of course Lee had a pacemaker for his heart by this time but I think Lee looks pretty good and looks healthy in these pictures. I remember reading in an article in a TV fan magazine a little blurb about The Master while an episode was being filmed that Lee Van Cleef who plays the Master apparently knows some pretty good kicks in real life. It went on to tell the reader how all on the set was very impressed with Lee when he karate kicked a door and it did more damage and fell through better than they were expecting.
