Favourite Bad Guy

[MA]

Who is your favourite bad guy (or girl) that originates from a film?

feel free to post them here, along with pictures (if possible), and possibly their catchphrase saying or action.

mine has to be the lovable, but at the same time disgusting, Bub the 'intelligent' zombie from Day Of The Dead;





(he tries on a pair of headphones);



His catchphrase action is to salute someone before or after killing them (as he used to be in the army).



I thought his name was 'Bob' for ages.

JigSaw, from the film "Saw". How is he so clever?


"Oh yes, there will be blood".

[OddjobAbe]

I would posrep you for that post if I could, MA.

My favorite? Favorites, actually. The Daleks. Followed closely by Leatherface, who is closely followed by Dr. Robotnik from Sonic, purely for the way he talked in those DreamCast games I haven't played for a while.

[Oddey]

Me? I like a quite a few... The penguin from Batman Returns, Danny Davito... The raptors from Jurassic Park... Biff from Back to the Future... And Darth Vader, to name a few.

Alexander DeLarge

[MA]

i once knew a woman who looked like The Penguin from Batman when i was little. her son wasnt all too bright either.

i know this is a bit off topic but he once got some ladders to climb through the upstairs bathroom window of his own house when he had locked his keys inside, and proceeded to place the extendable ladder upside down against the wall. only the nifty eyes of his mother stopped him from climbing them like this. i couldnt stop laughing.

my second favourite bad guy has to be the ORIGINAL Cenobites from Hellraiser 1 & 2. Butterball looked fucking freaky (top right).

[Pilot]

Ooooh. Didn't even have to think about this one. Actually.... whom I have in mind are actually more of a 'Duo'.... I am all about this movie like OddjobAbe is about Mr. Bungle.

John Carpenter's adaptation of Stephen King's wicked "Christine"! A 1958 Plymouth Fury who is deathly 'possessive' and terribly jealous.











I love the way Carpenter turns the car into such a cool monster.

Her counterpart, Arnie. Duped into buying 'her' and fixing her up. He becomes possessed by her and together they murder anyone who gets in the way of their love.



It's a movie about horror, rock and roll, and cars. What else can I say?

[AlexFili]

Alexander DeLarge was a good character, but I wouldn't call him a villain in the true sense. When I think of Villains, I tend to think of; Darth Vadar, Agent Smith, The Terminator (the evil ones), Cohagen from the Total Recall film, the orcs in LOTR...

I think Bowser is the daddy when it comes to videogame villains. He's kidnapped the princess at least thirteen times in 20+ years!!!

[MA]

@Pilot: i think i may have seen that before. very interesting film. like Herbie on LSD, but much better (never liked Herbie).

[joshkrz]

And were back to LSD... oh the jokes...

I think I have seen the monster car film before but I can't quite remember.

[OddjobAbe]

I think Bowser is the daddy when it comes to videogame villains. He's kidnapped the princess at least thirteen times in 20+ years!!!

But Robotnik has an enormous moustache and says "All systems, full power!"! And he has rockets and flying ships and has a weird, impossible anatomy (not say that Bowser doesn't have a weird, impossible anatomy) and blows the Moon in half in one game!

Each to his own, I suppose.

And I think that Futurama parodied "Christine" once.

[Pilot]

It's a good flick, even if you're not into cars. John Carpenter also directed other classics such as all of the "Halloween" movies and "Vampires."

Old cars do have personalities. Trust me.

And I think that Futurama parodied "Christine" once.

Yes they did. It was a mix of "Christine" and "The Car," a film released in the 70s about a evil black car (supposed to be the devil) which was based on what appears to be a Lincoln Mark IV. That movie is cheesy creepy fun but it's no Christine.

[MA]

And were back to LSD... oh the jokes...

i knew someone was gonna pick up on that.

[OddjobAbe]

I wish I had an old car. They look so much nice than new cars.

[MA]

i'd be right at home if i was born in the 50's. i spose Pilot would be as well.

[OddjobAbe]

Only problem is that that was pre-Civil Right Movement success. Other than that, it'd be great. But you'd probably want to be born in the '30s to live adulthood in the '50s. I would rather that. Apart from World War 2.

[Mac Sirloin]

Lucifer from HellBlazer. They way they depict him is just fucking awesome.


Arguably, Sean from Megaman Battle Network 2. His parents die in a plane crash when he's little, he's thoroughly rejected from society (for being an orphan or something like that) and he just generally has a shitty time.
Being a bitter dejected orphan, he masterminds a Crime Syndicate that commit terrorist acts such as:
-Reprogramming the gas systems in people's homes and asphyxiating them, and when his henchman doing this fails once he is murdered by detonating a briefcase bomb in a subway station.
-Hijacking Airplanes with he himself and his own henchmen on board. (This plan was actually kind of stupid)
-Destroying a Dam that would flood a very large city and cripple resources for the surrounding areas.
-Wresting control of the most important network in the country by hiring a genocidal mercenary to do it.
-Attempting to murder every single person that might be able to complicate his plans by trapping them in a medieval maze full of traps that seemingly kill them all, into you beat the boss.
-Creating a clone army of superpowered AI's that could destroy every important network worldwide (The original AI that they were based on ends up killing them all out of spite)
-Creating a supervirus out of fragments of computer errors and bugs that could corrupt every system, after the clone army fucks shit up.

Oh, and he's 12 years old, lives in an abandoned apartment complex full of living computer servers that grow like fungus, and all of his henchmen are grown men who have no idea who he is. Easily the best villain of the series if not the franchise as a whole.

EDIT: The Car was really cool. Especially when they figure out that Nobody's driving it, the windows are completely black, and the only way to get into it is if it lets you. Oh, and then it will eat you. It might've been possessed by vengeful Native American Spirits, too.

Ganon from Wind Waker is pretty cool, since he doesn't want to hurt anyone, he just wants to get away from the cycle of being murdered over and over by living in the hidden empire that the gods flooded.

Similarly, but without the same sympathy, Syndrome from The Incredibles.
"...and when everyone's super. No one will be."

[abe is now!]

Mars Attacks!'s aliens...


I love what they do this:


And also I love when they die... I think it's wonderful watching their brain being reduced to a pulp.

@Kastere: when i read the last bit i swore out loud. thats fucking incredible!

[Pilot]

i'd be right at home if i was born in the 50's. i spose Pilot would be as well.

Lived it. I would never go back; it was an incredibly naive time in our culture and our course of evolution.

[Mac Sirloin]

@Kastere: when i read the last bit i swore out loud. thats fucking incredible!

Assuming you mean Sean, yeah. That game was fucking awesome, and it was the only game in the series that they swore, the Genocidal Mercenary bit actually has the human protagonist say "God damn it!" when it seems like Megaman is going to lose.

[used:)]

This is tough. I definately like Bill from Kill Bill, as well as most of the other antagonists. The villains in the anime by Shinichiro Watanabe are all awesome. Mad Pierrot, Udai Taxim, the immortal kid, and Vicious from Cowboy Bebop. Shoryu, Sara, Heike Shige, Kariya, and the brothers from Samurai Champloo.

So yeah, just me being a japanophile.

I also lurve the ghosts from 13 Ghosts and the monsters from the Silent Hill series. Also, the Selenites from Kaena: The Prophecy. Awesome.

[MA]

the ghosts from 13 Ghosts are good, especially the juggernaught. my favourite in Silent Hill would be that 'demon' or whatever the hell it is with the, what looks like, a giant kitchen knife.

[used:)]

Umm.....Pyramid Head?

[joshkrz]

I like the jackal, I don't know why. Probably because I can hardly remember the rest.

And what is with that massive baby?

[used:)]

He's an overwieght adult who was kept in a child-like state by his mother for protection. They're both carnies. All the ghosts have really good backstories that aren't mentioned in the film.

[MA]

Umm.....Pyramid Head?

thats the one.

i just remembered the theme park owner from House On Hauted Hill, that was a weird film.

[joshkrz]

The clown from "IT", he's not a favourite, he's just weird.

GOD that film is messed up.

[MA]

i want to read the book 'It', i bet its scary as hell.

never seen the film.

[ArtemisPanthar]

Jigsaw is one of my favorite more recent horror villains. I love a bad guy with understandable motivation. I also love Batman's Scarecrow as a villain, but not the version used in Batman Begins.

My all-time favorite antagonist is probably Claudia Wolf from Silent Hill 3. But all the Silent Hill baddies are great.
