top/best political leaders in b movies

[Johnny Z]

Ok, on a political kick with the campaign. Who were your favorite world leaders from b-movies? Doesn't have to be a US president, can be another country's leader.

I don't think it qualifies as a  B movie, but my vote would go to Tiny Lister  as the president of  Earth in the Fifth Element.

.  .  .  .  It's not really funny, but for subtle parody I like Thomasina Paine from Death Race 2000, I don't really recall politics though.

I forgot about Tiny Lister. He was good - probably the last guy you'd expect in the role. Fit the movie perfectly.

This is not really a b-movie either, but I always liked Mel Brooks as the governor in Blazing Saddles — lecherous, cross-eyed, crooked and rock stupid.

As for b-movies, I get a kick out of seeing Gordon Pinsent as the president in Colossus: The Forbin Project, but only because he is one of our more respected Canadian actors.

Most ridiculous president would have to be Bill Pullman's Gulf War fighter pilot in Independence Day. Hero or not, this guy is not going to make it to the White House in just a few years.

Patrick Stewart as the king in Robin Hood, Men in Tights. "It's good to be the king!"
