These bad guy choices are awesome guys n gals! But no vote for Mr. Patrick Bateman yet?
Christian Bale' finest moment.......

Holy gak! That was Tim Curry?!?! I had no idea. I had to look that up on IMDB.

Wow. I never knew that.

You weren't the only one dude, I had to do a double take when I found the picture

Not the best image, but I think this is why the bad guy was so good in it.

Another amazing film in my opinion.

Two that I just thought of:

The bad guy from In the Line of Fire


Angel Eyes in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

AAAHHH Patrick Bateman FTW


Two scenes I'll always remeber: When he tries to "feed" the cat to the ATM, and when he runs through his apartment with the chainsaw

Missed this guy:

Yeah, but you forgot my personal favourite part: When the escort girl is running down the staircase and Pat Bateman follows her route with the
chainsaw then drops it maybe 4 floors onto her head! Epic stuff!

I consider that part of the "running through the apartment" scene LOL

For some reason, "Hollow Man" played by Kevin Bacon and some guy from the X-Files who could squeeze his body through cracks and other small spaces fethed up my childhood. After seeing a commercial with Hollow Man in it, I used to stay awake all night waiting for 5 am when my parents got up for the day and only then went to sleep. I also used to set traps around my windows and closet to prevent these villains from getting to me. Really laughable characters compared to other villains, but man did this gak feth up a few years of sleep in my early life.

Stephen King's "IT" also scared the feth out of me when I was younger.

That guy who could squeeze through cracks terrified me. Somehow it was made worse by having a really softly voiced guy doing the audiobook. For some reason my mind keeps telling me it was Mark Hamill.

hands down for me this dude was the worst of the worst.
He's not a demon, monster, mutant or anything that is supernatural.
he's human. a Fraking evil human.

I don't know who that is, but his dress sense is excellent.

Most Fascists did in alot of movies.

Fascists always have the best wardrobe, I think its to make up for the fact that they're ugly on the inside.

Spoiler:

It's Vidal from Pan's Labyrinth incase you aren't sure.

Oh yea that guy was a total evil donkey-cave. Great movie to boot though

My word I may have to watch it now. (though the child eater is also a damn good reason)

From descriptions I'd read about that Vidal he was a bearded bum who barely held together some motley of ragtags.

This guy though is awesome! Father figure for the win.

yeah i saw that,just wanted to give my own reasons.plus i liked this picture more. its sucks that the actor died......

I blame his actting as the Joker tbh. At least a part of it. He went a bit deep to come off that good on screen.

There's a story that my stepbrother (who is really into Batman) told me that Heath Ledger asked a few questions to Jack Nickleson (the original Joker) about the part to which he got a response that equates to "Don't do it, it messes with your head..."

Well apparently Heath didn't take the advice as he was in the movie, when Nickleson heard about his death he was reported to say "I told him..."

Bill the Butcher also ranks pretty high up there, along with Umbridge, Nurse Ratchet, and the Joker.
I think that more psychological villains are some of the best, some that have nearly no morals, or an extremely twisted motive, like the above man.

Are you seriously implying that Andrew Ryan had no moral code? Everything he did was a reflection of his morals. He created a world were the fruits of one's efforts were the property the individual. A place where the state exists only to further prosperity of the individuals residing within. A place where science cannot be held back by petty religious beliefs or social values. A place where the inventor was free to invent, where the salesman was free to sell, and where the only the market could decide what was good and what was bad; a true laissez-faire economy.

You really should go read the Ayn Rand novel Atlas Shrugged, which the entire first 2/3rds of the first Bioshock game is based on.
One might even find it enlightening, especially given today's political climate, both in the US and globally.

"So you think that money is the root of all evil? Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?"

-Francisco D'Anconia

FITZZ wrote: Movie Villains ...weather Brilliant bad guy or Maniac mad man, a good villain is the cornerstone of most great films...so, I'm wonder..who are Dakkas favorite " bad guys" and why?

..I'll kick things off with one of my personal favorites..
Michael Myers from the 1978 film Halloween..



This Murderous maniac IMO truly embodies unstoppable evil...
Relentless and absolutely with out mercy...
No amount of Courage or Bravado will stop him...
No amount of witty banter will sway him..
No amount of prayer or faith will stay his hand...

He is truly purpose personified..
..and his purpose is to kill..

And he's wearing a William Shatner mask painted white. He ... kills, by ... singing.

I'll +1 Pumpkinhead, Pinhead and Alex DeLarge and add this charming family.


Redneck bloodsuckers.

Is that Bill Paxton?

I think there are probably a lot of things wrong with the Street Fighter movie, but Raul Julia's Bison was pretty awesome.

Chun-Li: It was twenty years ago. You hadn't promoted yourself to general yet. You were just a petty drug lord. You and your gang of murderers gathered your small ounce of courage to raid across the border for food, weapons, slave labor...my father was the village magistrate. A simple man with a simple code: justice. He gathered the few people that he could to stand against you. You and your bullies were driven back by farmers with pitchforks! My father saved his village at the cost of his own life. You had him shot as you ran away! A hero... at a thousand paces.

M. Bison: I'm sorry... I don't remember any of it.

Chun-Li: You don't remember?!

M. Bison: For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me... it was Tuesday

"And it levitates... me!"

Ugh really? Did you close your eyes during the really awkward fighting scenes or something?

KingCracker wrote:Is that Bill Paxton?

Yup, It's from the film " Near Dark", one of my personal favorite Vampire movies.

godzilla,hell yeah!

and yes he is the villain in some movies.

Dr. Szell from Marathon Man..."..Is it safe..?"

You also can't forget the "Mean Green Mother from outerspace"!



Audrey II was one of my favorites when growing up

My first "romantic" experience was during Little Shop of Horrors, oddly enough.
