My favorite bad guys in movies ever; 1. Emperor Palpatine - Ian McDiarmid in The Return Of The Jedi. 2. Bill A.K.A Snakecharmer - David Carradine in Kill Bill Volume 1 and 2 3. Darth Vader - Voice of James Earl Jones and David Prowse behind the mask in Star Wars Episode 4, 5 and 6 4. Saruman - Christopher Lee in The Lord Of The Rings, The Fellowship Of The Ring and The Two Towers. 5. Hans Gruber - Alan Rickman in Die Hard 6. Hannibal Lecter - Anthony Hopkins in The Silence Of The Lambs. 7. Agent Smith - Hugo Weaving in The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. 8. Al Capone - Robert De Niro in The Untouchables. 9. Arjen Rudd - Josh Ackland in Lethal Weapon 2 10. Bill The Butcher - Daniel Day Lewis in Gangs Of New Amsterdam, sorry New York.
I have to compliment Nephilim with his choice of Gary Oldman in Leon. Oldman might be the actor with the most memorable bad guy performances; - Mason Verger - Hannibal - Drexl - True Romance - Zorg - The Fifth Element - Jacky Flannery - State Of Grace(Nicer than his brother Frank[Ed Harris]but still bad.) - Lee Harvey Oswald - JFK(the movie says he's not guilty but he still counts as bad guy) - Count Dracula - Bram Stokers Dracula Did I miss out? Enlighten me !
Yep........... He played Ivan Korshunov in a film from 1997, he was a nasty bastard and he shot a VERY nice looking lady....... Good thing though he had his neck snapped by a parachute........do not know whether he has landed yet though - Can you name the film??????????????
Played Coxy the skinhead alongside Alfred Molina, Phil Daniels & Tim Roth in Mike Leigh's 'Meantime', a true classic if ever there was one !
You're right BaaBaa, in Air Force One he plays a mean Russion terrorist. I didn't like that movie much, but it's definately another great bad guy performance from Mr. Oldman. I also remembered him from Lost In Space, where he plays bad man Dr Zachary Smith. He will also play in Harry Potter & The Goblet Of Fire(2005). His character in this movie is called Sirius Black. I didn't read the Harry Potter books, but the name sounds pretty wicked to me.
I don't have 10 but I got 1... AL PACINO in "Scent of a Woman" I love it when he blows away like 30 guys in his mansion and gets hit like 10 times and is still standing. He's the number 1 bad guy!
Yeah scent of a woman was a good (oscar winning)Pacino role. And a good-bad guy too. I personally prefer Tony Montana, though.
I know man, I just giving you guys some shit But the number one bad guy is AL PACINO in "SCARFACE" and second would be JOE PESCI in "GOODFELLAS" or in any mafia movie.
Scarface and Goodfellas is right up there for movies with awesome bad guys, but i also like that one lead photographer in "Paparazzi". he's someone i love to hate. i don't remember his name or anything, and he didn't commit any too horrendous crimes, he was just a pretty good bad guy, lol. the main character, Bo, qualifies for this title as well, i believe. sorry, i don't remember actors names.
Very funny Geestar20, but Tony Montana & Tommy De Vito are indeed two A grade mafiosis. John Travolta can be a great bad guy as well. I think Vincent Vega in Pulp fiction was his best performance as bad boy. After that Swordfish, Broken Arrow, Carrie and Face Off.
Yeah the guy in Paparazzi was pretty bad, but I would like to add one of my favorites: The devil guy in Legend, played by Tim Curry. Another Tim Curry: Wadsworth in Clue. Or even Labryinth's Jareth- David Bowie.
