The heavy breathing ominously foreshadows Darth Vadar’s own trademark breathing.

David Prowse was also Christopher Reeve's weightlifting coach to get him in shape for his Superman Role !

6 takes, what a legend. RIP David Prowse. We'll miss you.

I met him at a convention. Everyone wanted to talk to him about star wars, I just wanted to talk about weights. Lovely bloke

Hi all, I am aware of the sound issues on this video, but this is a home-made, quick mix. We are working on the new release of the series and we will definitely focus on the sound quality - by hiring a professional sound editor, don't worry ;). Follow us on FB, Twitter or Instagram for more info.

What a cool dude he was! He had a wonderful voice and was rather eloquent.

I had the pleasure of meeting this legend many years ago at a Comic-Con in Canada. I actually asked him about this scene and he said it was a pain in the ass working with Kubrick. Hilarious. Rest in Peace.

David Prowse you're home, one with the Force.

What a legend. What a story! I'd imagine Darth Vader could be the the only person joking with Kubrick on set and coming out of it alive...

he was REALLY STRONG

That's how Darth Vader's breathing was born 😁

TRY THE WINE!!!!

RIP David. Legend

I've heard Prowse had bad times with Lucas and the Star Wars community, but in interviews he always seems like a nice guy.

Darth Vader !!

Everybody who ever worked with Kubrick said that working with Kubrick was VERY hard work due to Kubrick's insistance on perfection. He was known for doing multiple takes.

DP was from my home town, Bristol - the UK's sixth largest city in the West country. My dad knew him well. For years they both worked as door men. That would be a fairly decent brag...I was once slung out of a night club by Darth Vader.'

It did look effortless in the movie.

RIP David Prowse

Lucas did him dirty.

I thought that it was more dramatic for Prowse to be breathing hard, like he was ready to kill Alex right then and there, and repressing his anger.

Dave is a lovely man and a friend

Oh yeah, he was the bodyguard in "A Clockwork Orange." I knew that the man in the Darth Vader suit was a bodybuilder but I didn't know that they were one in the same. He was also on at least one episode of "The Benny Hill Show".

Great series. So glad I found this channel

RIP Darth Vader David Prowise

What a lovely man.

James Earl Jones and David Prowse: Kubrick veterans, both

Rest in Peace Lord Vader

Very stoic and proud man, R.I.P.

David looked amazing in this film, buff but also very intellectual.

A true legend David prowse in a clockwork orange and in the great Star Wars movies

I wonder if we just heard the true origin of Darth Vader breathing sound...

It should be entitled, "Tales from Vader." On another note, Lucas, kind of screwed him over.

Walking down Marshalsea Road Southwark with a friend yesterday, I pointed to the building where body-builder Dave Prowse ran his gym. I went there 1979-1983, not for body-building but just for general exercise using the machines, and the stench of sweat was quite disgusting. There was no air-conditioning and it was nothing like a modern gym. There were lots of body-builders, ordinary men who were electricians and postal workers, and body building was a sort of cult. The lads grouped around some guy lying on his back on a bench and trying to lift some unbelievable weight with tremendous grunts, egged on by the lads, "Go an 'Arry you can do it!" Anyway, I was pleased to find this because it is the very gym, with Dave himself, and you can see from the pine walls how it might have got like a sauna. Note Dave's strong west country accent.

Thanks for posting.

try the wine

"One-take" Kubrick! LOL! I can't even imagine that! I've never been convinced so many takes are necessary. But obviously Stanley was. RIP.

I thought his reflection was another person

Ha Ha, that was a great story! David seemed like a very likeable guy.

he made coming down the stairs holding the man in the wheelchair look soooo easy

That's odd. Why didn't the sound recordist keep Prowse's mic out of the mix and just pop it up for his one short line? I don't know if they had a multichannel Nagra back then, but they must have had a mixer for the microphones.

That's Where Vader Came From. *wheeze*

He helped make Clockwork Orange good

What a nice guy! RIP.

Do Not Underestimate the Prowse...

One-take Kubrick: _dah wuts wit deh mics dah_ Sir Prowse: YOU GIT. RIP to a bodybuilding legend.

That poster!! Fnar Fnar.

Rip the real actor darth vader is passed away

Thanks. Didnt know.

Frank Sinatra was known famously in Hollywood as One Take Charlie... I dont think he could have carried that man in a wheelchair tho.

Damn what a workout!

SIX TAKES ! he must have got arm strain.

Yes I see, I see!

And that's what I think about the Jeff Cavaliere/Athlean-X Fake Weights "controversy."

Well, at least the lighting isn't too bad this time. But the mirror and choice of poster????

wait a second, if i recall correctly, this guy doesn't even say anything in that scene. why the hell did the put a mic on him to begin with?

This is one f my favorite scenes in Clockwork. It is both funny and suspenseful. At a certain moment I swear Patrick Macnee sounds just like Boris Karloff. If I could play one role in the film it would not be Alex but the writer. The character hovered precariously frombeing ridiculous but within the context of the film it works despite Macnee's misgivings about how he was being asked to play the part. In lesser hands it would fail but the satiric atmosphere keeps it all afloat. A great film.

Great this is the anecdote to knock Kubrick nerds out of their seats because Kubricks many multiple takes would be one of the top ten bar points to say about him, so you can pipe and use this story by starting it a little bit cloaked by saying "ah yes,, "One-Take Kubric!k" , you know, to get a startle and get a reaction and probably a few scoffaws and pushbacks as they call it these days., and then you hit them with ol Dave Prowse , god bless him, he actually said it to his face so its signed off 100% Kubrock canon legitimate..

That's amazing he took the "one take Kubrick" jab as valid criticism and only need 6 takes for that scene seemly out of consideration for David. That must be a Kubrick record and the only time he comprised for any actor.

¨Ye see¨

interesting

Whoa, is he really the strongman in Clockwork Orange?

ixcillent

FOOD alright!!

I would doo all the takes Stanley wanted. Wouldn't it also mean more money?

Dear stanleyandus some very nice interesting interviews you've uploaded but the music you add to them make them unwatchable for me sorry. The music is unnecessary and distracts from the the person talking.

1:56 “is a very strenuous job, INNIT?” Spoken like a true Englishman.

Hilarious.😂😂😂

did david prowse lift

lol poor bastard

look at his eyes that is not normal that's creepy :0
