Movie VILLIANS

[WGON]

Ever find yourself watching a good horror or genre film and saying to yourself "Damn! That's a great bad guy!". I know I certainly have, I have have to specifically point out DARKNESS in Ridley Scott's LEGEND and Top Dollar in Alex Proyas' THE CROW.

Also all the damn Fucked up punks in THE ROAD WARRIOR.

[TheOutlawTorn]

Nope, that's never happened to me. Not once. Ever.

[Dan Whitehead]

Bruce the shark. Why he never got his own TV series, I'll never know...

[Sethos]

my personal favorite has to be the worst loser of all: The Predator. I mean, he loses to Ahnulhd even though he has all those wonderful toys and then still feels he should get even by igniting his handy wristmounted mini nuke? hehehe, I like that kind of sportsmanship!

[billylove]

Andrew Divoff in Wishmaster 1 and 2.

I especially love number two. (I said two) Where he is in prison. LOL I love that grin.

[Greg Hansen]

Jeff Goldblum as 'Mr. Frost'.

Brain's fuzzy... Can't think...

[Disciple]

James Mason in Salem's Lot. He really seems to enjoy himself in that one.

DeNiro in Angel Heart. I'll never look at hard boiled eggs the same way again.

Riki Takeuchi in Fudoh (and untold other cheapo Japanese mob films in which he plays an identical role). He is the bastard child of Chow Yun Fat and Billy Idol, and he is pure rock 'n roll! Live fast, die young, leave a bullet ridden corpse.

Anthony Wong in Untold Story.

Clarence Boddiker in Robocop, the most unrepentant scumsucking POS who ever walked the face of this earth.

Arnold Vosloo in Hard Target. Underrated actor in a very underrated film. With that cold-as-ice South African voice of his, he singlehandedly destroys the old action movie cliche that British accents are the most evil ones possible. "Randall. Next time I come back... I'm gonna cut me a steak."

Charles Gray/Mocata in the Devil Rides Out.

[caustic]

Travis Fine as Lt. Col. Shelton in Child's Play 3 gets my vote for biggest asshole seen on camera recently.

There's the ever-reliable slasher foursome: Pinhead, Krueger, Myers, and Voorhees. They're always gonna feel that way.

The Creeper was pretty bad, too.

If you want to talk about authentic bad people, though, hat's off to Paul Reiser's character, Carter J. Burke, in Aliens. Damn good.

And Maurice Dean Wint's character in Cube was pretty freaking sick, too.

[WickerMan]

Im gonna go with Christopher Walken in the Prophecy, i tell ya, the blokes eyes creep me the hell out.

[Messiahman]

I'll go with Isaac Hayes as the Duke in ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK. A combination of megalomania, facial tics, and suave disco-seventies style. Definitely A-number-one!

Also, a nod to Chris Sarandon's turn as Jerry Dandridge in FRIGHT NIGHT - my favorite vampire in any film. I still adore the part where Roddy McDowell flashes a cross only to have Dandridge laugh hysterically at him before intoning "Ya gotta have *faith*."

As for others, Helen Mirren made Morgan Le Fay one helluva sexy, formidable foe in EXCALIBUR, Max Von Sydow was priceless as Ming the Merciless in FLASH GORDON, Gary Busy was icy cool as Mr. Joshua in LETHAL WEAPON, and Alan Rickman's portrayal of Hans Gruber in DIE HARD is the stuff of legend.

[LeeScoresby]

Bill Paxton's immoral and immortal cowboy vampire in Near Dark has always been a fave...

[Dan Whitehead]

LeeScoresby sings the blues:
Bill Paxton's immoral and immortal cowboy vampire in Near Dark has always been a fave..."I hates it when they ain't been shaved..."

[WrappedinPlastic loves life]

TheWickerMan:
Im gonna go with Christopher Walken in the Prophecy, i tell ya, the blokes eyes creep me the hell out.Well...you can also basically say, everything Mr. Walken has been in too.

Hannible Lecter. There is one creepy ass bugger that would make Alex from A Clockwork Orange look twice.

[Disciple]

Everything Brad Dourif has ever touched, esp Exorcist III. The man KNOWS madness.

[Roseanne Roseanna Danna Fan]

Jurgen Prochnow!!! He creeps me out every time I see him. Nobody would have been better than him in playing Sutter Cane in one of the worst mind f**** I have ever received...In The Mouth of Madness

[WGON]

Fuckin' right to Burke in ALIENS

[Kevin A. Ranson]

TheWickerMan:
Im gonna go with Christopher Walken in the Prophecy, i tell ya, the blokes eyes creep me the hell out.We're going to go with Viggo Mortensen as Lucifer in the aforementioned "The Prophecy."

We've met him. It's really him.

[Disciple]

Vernon Wells from Mad Max 2 and Commando, as well as a bunch of lesser known stuff. Nobody chews the scenery like that guy.

[Soup De Novas]

Simon from The Ugly, I believe he was played by Paolo Rotondo, one of the greatest villians and films I've ever seen.

[Dances with Chainsaws]

Kevin Spacey in SEVEN. I don't think that anyone could be scarier. Remember, he was only caught because he wanted to be.
