LOL @ "The nazis.....all of them" those bastards:up:

 

Ive told myself to rent that 1000 times and everytime I go to Blockbuster I get blinded by the new releases and forget. :sad:

 

Try these:

Robert De Niro - Remake of Cape Fear
Robert Mitchumm - Cape Fear
Anthony Hopkins - Silence 1 and 2
Anthony Perkins - Psycho
Boris Karlof - Frankenstein
Lon Chaney - the Phantom of the Opera/Hunchback of Notre Dame
Lon Chany Jr. - To many to put down
Willem Dafoe - To Live and Die in LA
and
The Thing - in both versions

 

Forgot about Lon Cheney. I wouldve added Anthony Perkins but I tried to pick movies from my generation. Psycho is one of my fav movies though.

 

Shredder-- from ninja turtles....and ninja turtles 2 "attack of the ooze"

Wolf "The Dentist" Stansson(Iceland coach)--"D2 the Mighty Ducks are back"

Scar--The Lion King

 

Ok my list.

1) The Shark from Jaws. Unflinching, remorseless, and out to get you.
2) Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves. The best hammed up over the top villain ever and full of priceless quotes "you at 8, you at 9 and you at 10 - bring a friend"
3) Oddjob from Goldfinger, best badguy henchman in a Bond film ever.
4) The Thing from The thing from another world the prototype for the monstrous alien invader picking off members of a small group one by one.
5) Bela Lugosi as the Count in Dracula. Singlehandedly set the most persistent stereotypre of a movie villain. Christopher Lee in the Hammer horror films is probably scarier.
6) John Vernon as Dean Wormer in Animal House as he provides the structure for the anarchy to to break loose around him. Honorable mention to Jeffrey Jones as Principal Rooney in Ferris Bueller's Day Off in a similar role
6) Peter Lorre as the murderer in M. One of the first serial killers on film and played with great depth and nuance.
7) Baris Karloff as Imhotep in The Mummu. A chilling bad guy who is out to dominate you mentally not to cut you into tiny little pieces.
8) Tim Roth as Archibald Cunnungham in Rob Roy. The epitome of an upper class fop as a cold hearted killer, and the most undeserved loser of a duel in movie history.
9) Lee Van Cleef as Angel Eyes in The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. The last man you'd want chasing you in the Wild West.
10) Sian Philips as Livia in I Claudius - OK this one is a mini series not a movie, but Livia sets the benchmark for conniving poisoning heartless *****es, one that I believe will never be bettered.

 

Joaquin Phoenix - Gladiator

Man did I hate that guy. I wanted him dead so bad.

 

:sidelol::sidelol:

 

When I get a chance this week..I will start a OFFICIAL thephins.com "Badass bracket."

A field of 64..and we will vote them down.

You can post some suggestions in this thread.

I was thinking these would be the top 4 seeds: Maximus, Tony Soprano, The Terminator, Anton Ghigur

 

As in not good or bad, just "badass?" I'd include John McClaine, Darth Vader, Neo, and uh, hell, RoboCop, just for starters.

 

Is Maximus really a villain? The same could be asked of Soprano and the Terminator if you take later movies into consideration. Or are you talking of "Badass" in a general sense and not a villain sense like the thread is talking about?

 

"Badass" in a general sense..you can have heroes and villains. and sharks..and robots.

 

I think your #1's are pretty good in that case. Would be tough for me to pick 1 from that list of 4.

 

On general Badassness it's hard to go past Harry Callahan or the Man With No Name.

Some other candidates

That b***ard sting ray that got Steve Irwin - I mean seriously how long had been pestering crocodiles, venomous snakes, lions, tigers and the like, yet none of the so called apex predators got him.

Audie Murphy

The Kurgan from The Highlander

Lurtz (the boss Uruk Hai at the end of the first LoTR movie)

Leon the Professional (Jean Reno).

Jeffrey (Chow Yun Fat) in The Killer.

Antonio Banderas as El Mariachi in Desperado and Once upon a time in Mexico

Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade in the Maltese Falcon

John Wayne as Ethan Edwards in The Searcher.

Alan Ladd as Shane and Jack Palance as Jack Wilson in Shane

Lee Marvin as Liberty Valance in the man who shot Liberty Valance.

 

Badasses:

T-1000 from T2 has to be on there.

How about Gary Busey in Lethal Weapon 2 (I think it was 2)

Willem Dafoe in 'Platoon' might be one of the most serious badasses in movie history.

And Daniel Day Lewis as 'Bill the Butcher'... and Jude Law in 'Road to Perdition'

I'll try to add more as I think of them.

 

Back to villains, I have to mention a couple classics:

Laurence Olivier as Dr. Christian Szell in "Marathon Man."
Lionel Barrymore as Henry Potter in "It's a Wonderful Life."

 

Two real life BadAsses that walked the walk in WWII :up:

 

Colonel Walter E. Kurtz in Apocalypse Now

 

Brando was F'ing awesome in that role.

 

Quite a lot of Hollywood in the '50s had actually served in the second war, and you did forget Jack Palance whose face and voice were courtesy of a severe burns from a crashlanding.

For some additional real life badasses.

Charlie Upham
Gerard Roope
Albert Jacka
Albert Rooks and Hec Waller

Although you'll probably have to google them, but their real life stories would be rejected by Hollywood as being too far fetched.

 

I'm sorry, as much as I like Bill the Butcher, any character killed by Leonardo Di Caprio automatically gets disqualified from the Badass list.

Snake Plissken and the Duke from Escape From New York should make it.

Kate Beckinsale as Selene from Underworld and Mila Jovovuch from the Resident Evil series are also nominees for me.

 

William Muney from Unforgiven. The last 15 mins of that film put him in that top list of all time bad asses IMO. I'm biased though..
Arnold in Predator hmm I'm sure more will come to me in the future.

 

I got him as a top 4 seed.

Clint Eastwood might make my Tourney 4 times.

Dirty Harry
William Munny
G Sgt. Tom Highway (heartbreak Ridge)
The Man with no Name

 

I completely forgot about the guy in my sig... Mr. Blonde from Reservoir Dogs...

 

Michael Douglas in "Falling Down"
Charles Bronson in "Hard times"
Molasar "The Keep"
Joe Don Baker "walking tall"
Patrick Swayze "Roadhouse"
Al Pacino "Scarface"
Rutger Hauer "Blade Runner"

 

Chuck Norris in "any movie or tv show or work out machine commerical he has ever filmed"

 

I am in the process of building the bracket...I will post it in the Lounge.

 

Did anyone mention Drago in rocky 4 ???

 

it is posted in the Lounge..ready for discussion.

 

Jack Bauer only merits a 4 seed? :shakeno:

 

Rutger Hower (?) in The Hitcher. He scared the life out of me.
Deniro in Cape Fear
Mitchum in the original Cape Fear
The clown in It by Stephen King
Mark Harmon as Ted Bundy
And some of the oldies: Vincent Price, Bela Lagosi & Lon Chaney
James Cagney in Public Enemy
