    Whos your favourite baddie in fiction and in real life? Mine would be

    Fiction: The joker in dark knight.

    Real life: Bertie. Not really a baddie but hes messed up a lot of things. I like how much of a chancer he is and that he doesnt care. Hate FF but always enjoy Bertie because hes smarter than the rest of them combined.

    Alonzo from Training Day. What a ruthless bastard - he had the new recruit's death planned for days.



    Danny Greene (Irish American Gangster ) was pretty bad-ass in real life.

    Patrick Bateman and George W Bush.

    Both evil monsters but very funny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 317 ✭✭Handy11


    Hannibal Lecter and Arnie in The Terminator (just relentless)

    I have a feeling Bane is going to make a lot of top baddie lists next year

    Who remembers Falconetti (at the time i thought it was Falcon Eddie)
    from the 1970s TV series Rich Man Poor Man brilliantly played by tough guy actor Bill Smith, sent a shiver down my spine watching him.

    Fiction: Film = Jack Nicholson's character Frank Costello in the Departed

    close second for comedy value yet scary villainy = Joe Pesci in Goodfellas

    DeNiro in Heat

    would have said Heath Legdger as Joker and Nicholsons Joker + Bardem in No country for old men too but they had been mentioned.

    Also for sheer loathsomeness characters like Nick Succorso and Angus Thermopyle in Stephen Donaldsons Gap Cycle novels.

    .......

    Dont have so many real life favourite villains as I think they are mostly scum but Frank Costello in the departed is loosely based on Whitey Bulger (irish american) gangster whose story is fairly amazing (to me at least)......there was a thread on it here a while back


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,431 ✭✭✭Sky King


    Gus from breaking bad

    also, as other said in this thread:
    Anton from No Country for Old Men
    Hannibal Lecter
    Gary Oldman in lots of things.

    Both Robert Mitchum and Robert De Niro who played Max Cady in the original Cape Fear and the 1991 Scorsese remake.

    Special mention to all who were chasing Jake & Elwood at the end of the Blues Brothers. :pac:

    The Homelander.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    It could be that Omar was really a goodie, and not a baddie.

    Just the attitude that kept FF in power for years under him and Haughey. :mad:

    That horrible scumbag junkie in Harry Brown

    (Billy Bob Thornton in Bad Santa - not really a baddie I suppose but entertaining caustic drunk)

    Henry Fonda as a ruthless coldblooded utter b@stard in "Once upon a time in the west"

    Eli Wallach in most of the spaghetti westerns as somebody with absolutely no loyalty only to himself.


    Lee Van Cleef as most baddies (mean as a rattlesnake actually is apt)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    Fiction: Michael Myers in Halloween (just the first film). Pure, unreasoning, unmotivated, faceless evil.

    Reality: D.B Cooper: Hijacks a plane, steals $200,000 and parachutes his way into history. His whereabouts were never confirmed, though some think a dead body discovered in the woods may have been his. You have to admire his style, though his popularity might make it strange to classify him as a baddy.

    Bunk Moreland: So, you're my eyeball witness, huh? [Omar nods] So, why'd you step up on this?

    Omar: Bird triflin', basically. Kill an everyday workin' man and all. I mean, I do some dirt, too, but I ain't never put my gun on nobody that wasn't in the game.

    Bunk: A man must have a code.

    Omar: Oh, no doubt.

    Venom. The Spiderman character is a whiny emo wanker vastly overshadowed by the villains characters.

    That Omar court appearance, tie and all, is just classic!
