Favorite bad guy??

[Jay M]

I was eating breakfast this morning, I was thinking about movies and who my favorite bad guy is. For me it's gotta be Darth Vader..... Or maybe the Emperor. Well who's everyones fav.?

J:D

[juice21]

darth vader has got to be the coolest bad guy ever!

[Aaron]

Darth Vader is probably the ultimate villian. I also like the villian in Die Hard, Hanz. That actor also played the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves. I'll think of more.....

Aaron

[Ron-P]

Yet another vote for Darth Vader.

I did like Christopher Plummer as General Chang in Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country.


Peace Out~:D

[Strong Bad]

Yes, Darth Vader is about the best. When he came walking through the rubble at the beggining of "SW: ANH", that rocked! Also loved when he choked the rebel guy.

Have to agree with Hans from "Die Hard" also.

How about the Alien from "Alien" and "Aliens". Michael Meyers from the original "Halloween" is great also.

John

[Aaron]

It just wouldn't be fit not to mention Predator.

Aaron

[RuSsMaN]

Rutger Hauer (sp?), in 'The Hitcher'

Or the maniac driving the 1960's gas tanker in the classic 'Duel'.

2 way cool bad guys.

R

[Micah Cohen]

You guys are gooooooood. Rutger Hauer in THE HITCHER is s*i*c*k, and the ALIEN is definitely a nightmare (as is Michael Meyers), and Darth Vader of course...

But you know who's even more EVIL?

In "Star Wars: A New Hope," great monster-movie vet Peter Cushing plays The Grand Moff Tarkin, and he's SO EVIL that he gets to refer to Darth Vader as, "My friend," when he addresses him! :eek: Anyone who is allowed to call Darth Vader "my friend," is certainly AS EVIL AS THEY COME.

MC

[Jay M]

We can't forget the T1000 from T2. That was a bad dude.

[Aaron]

I'd say the T800 from Terminator (Arnold) was a much scarier villian than that guy. That guy was too small and unintimidating.

Aaron

[justpolkme]

Steven Segal in ANY movie he has EVER been in... is my all-time favorite bad guy...

bad actor, bad hair, bad lines, bad attitude, bad breath...

he's a major huck fead.

even when he's the good guy, he manages to be bad.

god, i love hating him.

[jdelan]

KAAAAAAHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNN!!!

[Ron-P]

I agree jdelan, yet another good bad guy from Star Trek.


Peace Out~:D

[I-SIG]

The movie itself may not have been that good, but Gary Oldman was kick ass BG in AF1. Also, he was excellent in The Professional too.

Wes

[mjk91383]

...gene hackman in unforgiven.

joe :D

[scottvamp]

The main bad guy in the first Crow. He was the coooolest.

[trubluluc]

Favorite bad guy.....Henry Fonda in
"Once upon a time in the west" ,also my all time favorite western.
Scene with Charles Bronson, "...here play a little song...make your brother happy.
Check it out.

-luc

[wodom1]

al pacino as "Tony Montana" in Scarface. that's one bad-ass dude.

How'd you like to meet my little friend...

[TroyD]

...excellent call, luc.

Troy

[trubluluc]

Gotta love that opening....water droplets bouncing off Woody Strodes head. Jack Elam and the fly, and
knuckles...classic Sergio Leone.

-luc

[Tour2ma]

Ralph Fiennes as Commandant Amon Goeth in Schindler's List...

Bone-chillingly evil...

Brilliant performance.

[Demiurge]

The guy who screws old threads and Verbal Kint.

[ben62670]

Favorite bad guy...
That would have to be Obama. The winner of the Nobel peace prize.

[bobman1235]

I don't know about my favorite, but some good honorable mentions :

- Javier Bardem's character in No Country for Old Men (Cigur? something like that)
- Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York (Daniel-Day Lewis)
- Lecter in Silence of the Lambs (Anthony Hopkins)
- DeNiro in Cape Fear (never saw the original... which I think was Robert Mitchum?)

And a great sleeper pick I saw listed somewhere else : the Colonel / Captain or whatever from Pan's Labyrinth. That guy was f***ing EVIL.

[danz1906]

Hannibal Lector-Silence of the Lambs!

[danz1906]

- DeNiro in Cape Fear (never saw the original... which I think was Robert Mitchum?)
That guy was Scary !!!!!!!

[mrbiron]

Lo Pan - Big Trouble in Little China :biggrin:
Bruce Willis - The Jackal
The Humungus - Madmax 2

Trying to think outside the box here.

[bobman1235]

Lo Pan - Big Trouble in Little China :biggrin:

Which one, the little old basket case on wheels or the ten foot tall roadblock?

[zombie boy 2000]

I always thought Tim Roth was particularly slimy and evil in Rob Roy. Also... Gary Oldman's turn as a pimp in True Romance was legendary.

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

I always liked bad guys with a little humor, like Tim Olymphant or whatever from Die Hard 4

[mrbiron]

Which one, the little old basket case on wheels or the ten foot tall roadblock?
I'm going to go with the creepy old man in the wheelchair.

I was just quoting the movie :) I honestly could probably recite that movie from start to finish. My cousin and I watched it endlessly as kids.

[fatchowmein]

Another vote for Vader but some of my other favorites are...

Kevin Spacey as the unknown serial killer in Se7en. The "speech" in the car ride with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman was disturbing.

Christoph Waltz as Col. Hans Landa in Inglorious Basterds. That interrogation scene was pure evil and one of the best performance I've seen in quite some time.

[jinjuku]

The Usual Suspects: Keyser S?ze

[thesurfer]

The emperor from star wars, or that nut Shugar, from No country for old men,

[jflail2]

Kevin Spacey as the unknown serial killer in Se7en. The "speech" in the car ride with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman was disturbing.

This. He really got under my skin in that role...

[Erik Tracy]

Great list....some others to add....

Christopher Lloyd as Commander Kruge in ST III: Search for Spock

Jason Isaacs as Lucius Malfoy - esp in Chamber of Secrets - he has such deliciously sinister/condescending dialogue in that one.

[venomclan]

Sho Nuff from The Last Dragon. The greatest character ever created hands down.
Venom

[boomerfss]

Christopher Walken from The Prophecy.

Also, any Gary Oldman bad guy. The Professional and Fith Element stand out to me.

[Timothy Smith]

Dennis Hopper as Frank Booth in Blue Velvet:

"Be POLITE!"

"Heinekin? F___ that S___.....PABST BLUE RIBBON!!"

Do you want me to pour the beer Frank?
"NO, I want you to F___ IT !"

"Where's my Bourbon S___head?"

[bklynNupe]

al pacino as "Tony Montana" in Scarface. that's one bad-ass dude.

You need people like me so you can point your %uckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. So say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you. Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!
Too bad this one may never come to Blu-ray.
:biggrin:

[nguyendot]

The giant chicken from Family Guy

[stuwee]

Christopher Walken from The Prophecy.

Also, any Gary Oldman bad guy. The Professional and Fith Element stand out to me.

Just about any Christopher Walken role :tongue: (I had no idea he was such a great song and dance man either) total 180 rom his usual screen roles.

The tall dude in Phantasim :eek: Booooy!

[shack]

Dr. Christian Szell by Laurence Olivier in Marathon Man. The dental torture scene in this film was awesome!

Norman Bates by Anthony Perkins in Psycho.

[hearingimpared]

Hannibal Lector-Silence of the Lambs!

YOu stole my thunder. When made him soooo scarey and bad was that there were no gimmcks or costumes just a regular type of guy basted in pure evil.

[Fongolio]

Lee Van Cleef from the spaghetti westerns. He was a serious bad ass in those movies and I always loved watching him die.

http://www.westernposterpage.com/vancleef.jpg

[Tour2ma]

Dennis Hopper as Frank Booth in Blue Velvet...


I always thought Tim Roth was particularly slimy and evil in Rob Roy.


Dr. Christian Szell by Laurence Olivier in Marathon Man. The dental torture scene in this film was awesome!

I know it made my fillings ache... "Is it safe?" Olivier was so detached, so single minded...

Three outstanding choices... Hopper was so over-the-top in that flick.

Roth's Rob Roy role (say that fast five times) was another of those "burst on the scene" performances ala my earlier Fiennes post. Another just occurred to me that at least deserves honorable mention in this thread...

Edward Norton as Aaron Stampler in Primal Fear.

[fatchowmein]

I just realized no one mentioned Heath Ledger's Joker in "The Dark Knight". What a sad loss to cinema.

[blehmbo]

Lee Ermey in Full Metal Jacket would be one of my favorites. Maybe he wasn't the classic bad guy or villain, but he did play the antagonist for the first part of the film.

[67jason]

another one for Vader.....


Robin Williams in one hour photo is one creepy mofo.

The girl from Hard Candy....definalty not the "take home to mom" type.

John Travolta and Sam Jackson in Pulp Fiction...two bad asses right there.

Sam Jackson in black snake moan

Nurse Ratched in one flew over the cuckcoo's nest

Christopher Walken as the bad guy in any movie he has ever made.

Agent Smith from the Matrix movies

Jack Nicholson in the Shining

[gimpod]

http://www.gimpod.com/images/Kissofdeath.jpg

Richard Widmark as Tommy Udo in Kiss of Death, If you haven't seen this movie it's worth it just for the scene where he pushes the woman in a wheelchair down a flight of stairs. Now that's evil. :biggrin:

[bsoko2]

Richard Widmark as Tommy Udo in Kiss of Death, If you haven't seen this movie it's worth it just for the scene where he pushes the woman in a wheelchair down a flight of stairs. Now that's evil. :biggrin:

And his laughing was over the top!

[Fongolio]

I'll add one more... Robert Mitchum in the original "Cape Fear". Super creepy with pedophiliac tendancies. Just plain bone chilling nasty. As good as the remake was, Mitchum made DeNiro look like a Sunday school teacher.

[On3s&Z3r0s]

Which one, the little old basket case on wheels or the ten foot tall roadblock?

This one had me rollin'... way to pull one out of the way-back file!

I'm going with Alan Rickman as Hanz Gruber from Die Hard and Gene Hackman as the sheriff in Unforgiven

John Travolta and Sam Jackson in Pulp Fiction...two bad asses right there.

Sam Jackson in black snake moan

Christopher Walken as the bad guy in any movie he has ever made.

Agent Smith from the Matrix movies

Jack Nicholson in the Shining

She was the good guy/girl. Her victum was the bad guy.:wink:


Samual Jackson was a good guy in that one to I think..:wink:


I like all your other choices and..

I still hate that Nurse Ratched!!!!!

[Tony M]

No country for old men's bad guy.


Bad guy........Call it.

poor people...What's at stake?

Bad guy........Everything.....:eek:

[Gatecrasher]

My favorite "bad guy" in a western has got to be Henry Fonda in Sergio Leone's 1968 classic "Once Upon A Time In The West". With his piercing blue eyes and lightning-quick gun.

An extremely cold-blooded and ruthless killer for hire (and bad azz)!

A role you didn't see Henry Fonda play that often but he definitely did it right in that one.

One of the greatest westerns of all-time.

http://i55.tinypic.com/immfsw.jpg

[Fongolio]

Fonda was bad to the bone in that one. Totally convincing too.

[fatchowmein]

Macaulay Culkin as Henry Evans in The Good Son.

Harvey Stephens as Damien Thorn in The Omen (1976).

[Tour2ma]

I'll add one more... Robert Mitchum in the original "Cape Fear". Super creepy with pedophiliac tendancies. Just plain bone chilling nasty.
Or Mitchum in Night of the Hunter... The composition of this scene is brilliant.

Couple trivia tidbits:
- That's the silent era's star of stars Lilian Gish racking the pump.
- This was Charles Laughton's one and only directing effort.

[Danny Tse]

Just about any Christopher Walken role :tongue: (I had no idea he was such a great song and dance man either) total 180 rom his usual screen roles.

In an old "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" interview, Conan mentioned despite his evil/bad guy image, Christopher Walken actually drives a station wagon. To which Walken responded....

"Come on, Conan! You're destroying my image here!!" :tongue:

Just ask around. Right Ben?

[mrbiron]

If i can't find videos of you being a "bad dude" on youtube, then you ain't no bad dude :biggrin::biggrin:

[wz2p7j]

Great bad guys so far...

I liked the guy in Mission Impossible 3:

"You have a wife, a girlfriend? I'm going to find her...and I'm going to kill you in front of her"

What was his name? A pretty hate-able bad guy.

Chris

[markmarc]

Definitely Hans from Die Hard.

Dennis Hopper in Speed

Paul Young on Desperate Housewives.

Robert Stack as Agent Flemming in Beavis and Butthead Do America.

John Allen Hill the owner of Melville's the restaurant above Cheers.

[bobman1235]

Paul Young on Desperate Housewives.

You know how I know you're gay?

[markmarc]

You know how I know you're gay?

Gotta let the wife watch something other than ESPN or History Channel on occasion :biggrin:

[mhardy6647]

can it be from TV? If so, I proudly nominate Simon the Likeable from the Mel Brooks classic 1960s TV sitcom, Get Smart (Don Adams and Barbara Feldon as 86 and 99, respectively). Simon, played by Jack Gifford (whose other claim to fame was in Crackerjack commercials in the halcyon '60s) was just so likeable yet so evil, all at once.

[George Grand]

Gilford. Jack Gilford. Hardy, you're special.

Mitchum in either Cape Fear or Night of the Hunter, take your pick.

All the other bad guys acted over the top. Mitchum just acted naturally.

[FTGV]

Heath Ledger as the Joker.


Ray Liotta can play the bad guy good as in Goodfellas.

[mhardy6647]

Gilford. Jack Gilford. Hardy, you're special.

ahem. I calls 'em like I sees 'em.


Mitchum in either Cape Fear or Night of the Hunter, take your pick.

All the other bad guys acted over the top. Mitchum just acted naturally.

Or... his archest, evillest role ever...
