Thulsa Doom!!


Now they will know why they are afraid of the dark. Now they will learn why they fear the night.

Thulsa Doom gets my vote.

John Travolta playing a bad guy in BROKEN ARROW and SWORDFISH. Might as well throw in his role in PULP FICTION.

Strange how James Earl Jones played two of the greatest villians Thulsa Doom and Darth Vader (in voice).

Personally, I always felt the Dark Side got a bad wrap.  For one, the Dark Side was always taking new members, whereas the Rebel Alliance plotted to destroy all who disagreed with their principles.   And the rebels were certainly responsible for more deaths, not to mention the fact they used a robot to trick a peaceful civilization of teddybears (all right, ewoks) to fight a technologically superior enemy with sticks and rocks, resulting in innumerable casualties and disfigurements.  Come on, that's just cruel!  No, I think Star Wars is definitely an epic written by the winners.  Haha.

Hahaha, definite karma point for that one.  :cheers:

What amazes me about TIMEs list is that it totally ignores some actors that spent most of they're carrears playing villians....such as Lugosi,Karloff,Lorre,  Vincent Price ,Christopher Lee, Charle Laughton, Jack Palance, and so many others!
  Also...it seems like one shot villians,should be surpassed by longtime screen villians like Mr. Hyde...who has been on the screen since films began....and no DRACULA?!?! That's sacriliage! Fooey on TIMEs list!  :hatred:
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)

Lugosi-"No. Dracula-never ends."

Dracula never really struck me as a villain (Nosferatu being a possible exception).  Sure, he preyed on people, but did so to ensure his own survival.  Self preservation is one of the most primitive and important instincts an animal possesses; he can hardly be blamed for that.  Besides which, he's a count, he's rich, charming, and sexy.  He's got more karma point-worthy attributes than the good guys!  Haha.

Christopher Lee's version was often painted as the Lord of Darkness as well as being Count Dracula.  All versions of Dracula preyed on innocent victims to satisfy their own twisted bloodlust. Sounds villainous to me.

I still can't believe someone else hasn't mentioned Bennett from Commando.  He set the bar for villains for quite some time after 1985.   :teddyr:

Travis Bickle in TAXI DRIVER?  How is he a villain?  He belongs on the 10 greatest heroes list

For villians anyone remember Telly Savalas' role as Archer Maggot in the Dirty Dozen. He was kind of a villain.

While I can't concoct a coherent list right now, I must mention my support for Matthias from OMEGA MAN...

I'd say more "anti-hero" than hero... which is about to be my next post.
