Favorite Villians

[Susan]

Who are some of your favorite villians from film?

"Ming the merciless" from Flash Gordon
"General Zod" from the Superman movie - you gotta love zod
pumpkinhead..because he was just misunderstood..heh

Actually looking for any creative responses away from the popularized villians (like hannibal)

[Chadzilla]

Scorpio from Dirty Harry
The Vigilante Cops/Lt. Briggs from Magnum Force
The shark in Jaws
Steele, Rhodes, and Rickles in Day of the Dead
Goldfinger
Jaws in The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker

Craig Scheffer's character in Hellraiser: Inferno
T-Bird, Top Dollar, and FunBoy (If I need to tell you the movie, you don't deserve to know)
Sadaam Hussein in South Park...

Hmmm...who else...

Oh yes. Malcolm in The Filth And The Fury.

>>Craig Scheffer's character in Hellraiser: Inferno<<

Apparently a flick I missed.lol. I remember him as the "bad guy" in those teen 80's flicks, but wasn't he also in..I'm so bad with the names of movies but the one where the guy gets bit by some monster and goes to a cemetary (forget the name) where other mutants and creatures live underground?

>>T-Bird, Top Dollar, and FunBoy (If I need to tell you the movie, you don't deserve to know)<<

The Crow..right. I know it had a sequel where the girl is grown up, but didn't it also have a third..maybe a straight to video one?

As for Bruce the shark, love that movie. One of my favorite lines in it is when Bruce meets his demise "Smile you sonofab***h!"

James Earl Jones as Thulsa Doom in CONAN THE BARBARIAN.

That would be Clive Barker's Nightbreed.  David Cronenberg played the nifty villain in that :-)

>>James Earl Jones as Thulsa Doom in CONAN THE BARBARIAN.<,

good one - i'm a huge fan of conan.
Since non-people can count I also like the Dragon from "Dragonslayer", one of my favorite dragon flicks (well done). I don't know that there was need to really show the whole dragon, just watching the claw come out of the cave..hearing it breath. Never understood why it was satisfied with a monthly virginal burning tho

Agent Smith from the matrix. Just a really well rounded villian character.

Let's see, I like
General Toad from Hell Comes to Frogtown
Zorro from Frankenhooker
Farmer Vincent in Motel Hell
The boys in Mother's Day
The trappers in Cannibal: The Musical
The quacker in New York Ripper

[Lee]

Keifer Sutherland in The Lost Boys
Jack Palance in Young Guns(He's a real @!#$!)
Put my vote in for Thulsa Doom(great performance by James. Plenty of classic lines.)
Robert Patrick in Terminator 2(He's so good as the villain makes you wonder what he was thinkin when he did Double Dragon)
Yuen Wah in Eastern Condors and Dragons Forever(A real sonofab***h in both of these but he's awesome at it!)

[Pistof]

The best villians in movies are:

3. The Grim Reaper in the Frightenners
Why? Because he looked awsome and even as just a ghost he was maniac cool. The guy who plays him(I forget the name) knows how to do a good evil.
2. Ash's Hand in Evil Dead 2
Why? Becuase it was like a cartoon in the middle of a horror movie. And he was never defeated, unlike most villians. At the end he was still kicking... so to say.
1. The Collecter from Demon Knight
Why? Simple, Billy Zane is the most mellow evil being ever. It's just fun to watch everyone running and screaming and he's just like, "Hey, come on, Hell's not that bad."

Runner Up: Jack Nickolsons Joker in Batman

[Cullen]

The guy who plays the Reaper in Frighteners was Jake Busey.

I forget his name too but i'm almost positive he's Gary Busy's son. In that fact - he's gotta be scary!

>>The boys in Mother's Day<<

lol..nuff said

Yes, The Crow had a 3rd film (The Crow: Salvation), that owns the 2nd film in every which way (William Atherton AND Fred Ward are in it).

Yes, Craig Scheffer was in Cliver Barker's Night Breed.

Alien.
Now that's a kick-ass bad dude (dudette?)

Also Ilsa from Ilsa, Shewolf of the SS, etc.  She's a very sick pup (and not in a good way either).

[Luke Bannon]

Frank Langella as Dracula, plus as Skeletor in Masters of the Universe. In MOTU, he gives Skeletor some much needed credibility and gives him a bit of a spooky feel.

Also, Robert Patrick, of course, as the T-1000. Surprisingly, I also liked him in Double Dragon. Another one is the Advanced Model from Drive. The guy who played him mighten have said much, but again he had a spooky air around him. That and he was able to bring it to Mark Dacascos, so you have to be impressed.
Another great villian... the killer tomatoes! They were fun.
