Ultra Bad Guys

After watching batman, I’ve come up with my top 5 most ruthless bad guys ever:

1. Mr. Shagur from No Country for Old Men
2. Hannibal Lecter
3. The Joker
4. Darth Vader
5. Bill from Kill Bill 1 & 2

These people are ruthless, out-of-their-mind crazy like a lot of villains, but they're not random. They're so meticulously detailed in their antics and that's what makes them so ultra bad.

What is your top 5 list of super villains?

  1. Gotta include Kevin Spacey’s character from Seven!

  2. That’s a good one from Brian. Otherwise I have to add Alex DeLarge from A Clockwork Orange.

    And does Jaws count?

  3. How about Henry Fonda in Once Upon a Time in the West (character named Frank). Another classic bad guy named Frank: Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet.

  4. Dude, Ben from Man Bites Dog. you haven’t seen psycho/evil until you’ve seen Man Bites Dog. It’s in french, but trust me, you should see it.

    What about Charlie Meadows (John Goodman’s character) from Barton Fink?

  5. #1 The Joker…Heath…wow…so dark and dimented is quite enjoyable.
    #2 scary spiders from Arachnaphobia…umm yea…spiders…hello.
    #3 The kid on pet cemetary…that was just weird
    #4 The Birds in Birds…you think they are cute them BAM they are eating your eyeballs.
    #5 Santa Claus…the actuall fictional being…Fat guy coming down your chimney…you know how much it COSTS to fix a chimney these days…I dont know either but t has to be astrinomical…there you go Channing “do U want Fryes with that”…holla

  6. i agree

  7. What about Vader’s redemption at the end of Return of the Jedi? I’d cross his name off and add the Emperor from Star Wars instead.

    Maybe any of the country folk in Deliverance?

  8. I think Mr.Diggles is right with the #1 spot!!

  9. What about George H. W. and Barbara Bush for unleashing George W. on the World?

  10. wouldn’t it be cheney?

    What about Keizer Soze from Usual Suspects? PS Joker should be way higher. Man was flat out nuts but in a good way.

  11. Frank Booth from Blue Velvet is my favorite bad guy.

    I wanted to be a smart ass and say Phil Jackson, because he is ever so evil.

  12. Blue Duck from the Lonesome Dove television mini series.

    Tony Perkins motel owner in the classic film Psycho.

    Chucky the evil doll from some movie which escapes me.

    Mr. Shagur in No Country For Old Men.

    Hannibal from Silence of the Lambs.

    Thanks for another opportunity to ponder a great escape — film making and viewing.

  13. 1. Seattle Sounders
    2. Seattle Sounders
    3. Seattle Sounders
    4. Seattle Sounders
    5. Seattle Sounders

    Oh…. from a movie??!!!?

  14. 1. Seattle Supersonics Stealer Clay Bennett
    2. Seattle Supersonics Stealer Clay Bennett
    3. Seattle Supersonics Stealer Clay Bennett
    4. Seattle Supersonics Stealer Clay Bennett
    5. Seattle Supersonics Stealer Clay Bennett

  15. Don Imus.

  16. agent smith from the matrix movies

    the terminator and the t-1000 from T2

    michael corlieone from the godfather part 2

    the aliens in Aliens

    the sensei from the cobra kai dojo in the karate kid movies. “sweep the leg!!!”

  17. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named (Lord Voldemort)
    Joker
    Freddy Krueger
    Pazuzu/Regan (Original Exorcist)
    Travis Bickle (De Niro’s best ever performance)

  18. Hey Channing,

    So I agree with you on the bad ass from No Country for Old Men and Darth Vader, but switched the others out. This is before reading all the entries above, but I do see Freddy Krueger?! Come one…This should be “bad guys not from slasher flicks”. :)

    1. Jack Torrance from The Shinning
    2. Mr. Shagur from No Country for Old Men
    2. Patrick Bateman from American Psycho
    3. Standsfield from The Professional
    4. Darth Vader from the first two (or #4 & 5 for you geeks out there)
    5. The Terminator from the first Terminator

  19. YOu know, pure ruthlessness means these people don’t just go crazy and kill their family. They also kill any number of perfect strangers without thinking about it. Like the Joker, or the dude from No Country. What made Heath Ledger’s Joker so freaky is…. he didn’t care about money or anything esle, just wreaking havoc. So, you couldn’t negotiate with him, really. Pretty effective bad guy.

  20. The guy from Saw
    Then entire family from Devil’s Rejects
    McCauley Kulkin from HOme Alone 2 (Creepy)
    Anton Chugar
    Kobe

  21. Anton Chigarh – No country for old men
    John Doe – Se7en
    Joker – The dark knight
    Amon Goeth – Schindler’s list (terrible portrait)
    Jack Torrence – The shining

    didn’t make it:
    Full Metal Jacket’s sniper
    Commodus in Gladiator
    Sgt. Barnes in Platoon
    any of the wardens of a prison movie (Escape from Alcatraz, Shawshank, Runaway train, Midnight express,..)
    Victor Kruger in Highlander
    Deputy Pell of Mississipi burning
    ehm..that thing in Cloverfield

  22. Mr. Burns for sure

  23. Bill the Butcher from Gangs of New York
    Anton Chigurh from No Country
    The Saw dude
    The Joker from the Dark Knight
    Kathy Bates in Misery

  24. top 5 baddies?
    1.) the man
    2.) the filth, the pigs, cops, five-oh.
    3.) Sho’nuff from The Last Dragon
    4.) Jerry Orbach in Dirty Dancing
    5.) Elvis Presley in… well, any movie he was in.

    b.) *Ronald Regan

    *see Elvis Presley above.^
