    I know this is not his real name but Dick Jones from Robocop is one of the best on screen assholes in cinema. He makes you want to either punch him or join his nefarious deeds. He is also Cohagen in Total Recall.

    He is in other things as an asshole as well, he does it brilliantly. He does the good guy well too, ala Beverly Hills Cop films. But for me, Dick Jones is the man.

    What a legend. so many quotes

    Promoted to executive, congratulations. I remember when I was a young executive for this company. I used to call the old man funny names. "Iron Butt." "Boner." Once I even called him..."asshole." But there was always respect. I always knew where the line was drawn. And you just stepped over it, buddy-boy. You've insulted me. And you've insulted this company with that bastard creation of yours. I had a guarantee military sale with ED 209. Renovation program. Spare parts for 25 years. Who cares if it worked or not?

    "I'm cashing you out Bob." preceded by Boddickers immortal line "Bitches leave." (Apparently Verhoven used to refer to all the females on the set as bitches without meaning to be derogative and this is where the inspiration came from).

    "Anyone tries to stop me and the old geezer gets it!"

    Total Recall-Coohagen to Melina

    "Uh-uh, Princess. We're having you fixed. You're gonna be respectful, compliant, and appreciative... the way a woman should be. "

    to Richter

    "Who told you to *think*? I don't give you enough information to *think*! You do what you're told. *That's* what you do!"

    are just a few classic Ronny Cox as an asshole lines. Also two of the greatest films ever by the same genius director.

    There should be more dick jones/coohagen type assholes in films. I don't know, theres just the right combination of evilness, cheese and waspishness.

    Is Dick Jones not the character from Robocops' name? Man this thread is confusing.
