A couple more:
Hannibal the Cannibal.
The Terminator.
whos the 2nd and 4th??
the book is so much better though
i was seriously ill for a week after finishing
Jack Nicholson in Shining
Jason in Friday 13th
De Niro in Capes Fear
Gary Oldman in Leon
Damn.. someone need to find at least an evil lady!
Hannibal Lector was a bad joke and not really scary with his tss tss tss sounds.
yeah, well one of the villains in the flick was this lady ninja. i always thought she was the dopest of the villains in that flick. mostly cuz she'd laugh her ass off at dudes and then abruptly stop. anyways, i could never figure out if it was her boobie that the little kid was slapping. like they were all on that boat, then it blew up, then she tried to stab the lone wolf dude. next thing you know homeboys got her kimono off and the lil kid is slapping her tittay. is this not the ninja chick? and why all the sudden was she so nice? i mean, in an earlier scene she basically takes a dude apart piece by piece. anyways, she's a villain. i like the way she came out of ther clothes too.
Is that movie also called "lone wolf & cub"?
i think so
FACTOID:
Her character's voice in the english version was dubbed by Sandra Bernhardt of all fucking people.
The confusion regarding Lady Ninja's behavior can probably be explained by the fact that Shogun Assassin was actually the first 2 Lone Wolf & Cub movies spliced together to make one film.
For the most part it's brilliant - in many ways even better than the OG (Daigoro's voiceover being one vast improvement IMO), but as a result, some of the story also becomes muddled at times.
By the way, if you ever peep the Japanese OG's, peep that scene you were talking about where Lady Ninja and her homegirls slice apart dude trying to escape from the room.
You'll definitely notice a few more appendages strewn across the bloody floor!
My pick for all-time illest movie villain:
The White Lotus Priest Pai Mei (played by the late Lo Lieh in both "Shaolin Executioners" & "Clan/Fists of the White Lotus").
Come on! The way he escapes from his cage is
Pure devilish shit!
hal, 2001
Doesn't HAL = IBM or some shit like that?
WOW, just looked that up on IMDB and that is indeed Sandra Bernhardt, WTF?
We just got a new print of Shogun Assassin at HK Flix that looks to be pretty much
Good call on Pai Mei, just checked out those two movies, Fist of the White Lotus is fuckin DOPE! "You're still not good enough for a MASTER! WATCH ME then, I'll not show you again!"
the letters that come immediately after H-A-L are I-B-M.
and
even though it wasn't a major role
Damn, am I the only one who remembers when those hats were cool?
And someone smack me if Da Brat doesn't want to french kiss Mariah right there.

Early talkie about a child killer/abuser. Fucking great film and still creeps me out to this day.
Despite his cruely he's actually more pathetic than fearsome.
Another great movie villain:
Fucking creepy performance by John Huston
The dude with Lee Van Cleef's wife's watch in "For A Few Dollars More" - Indio?
Dog in "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrells"
"Henry" in "Henry, Portrait Of A Serial Killer"
Clarence Boddiker in "Robocop"
Victor Kurgen in "Higlander"
Rutger Hauer in "Bladerunner" (esp. where he crushes Tyrell's noggin)
Career baddies: Those dudes who always pop up in Westerns or The A-Team etc:
Bob Tessier ("Slaphead" to us) he was the karate dude in original "Mean Machine" and had a rumble with Mr. T in A-Team.
"Mr. Crooked Neck" (long thin face and dark hair) and "Mr. Paedo" (evil face dude): Both these dudes are in the gang who flog Clint Eastwood's sheriff character to death in "High Plains Drifter".
I would google for images but they block google images here.
Brian Cox's Lector/Lecter/Lecktor (however the fuck you spell it) was way better than Anthony Hopkins' one. Hopkins just played him as a standard horror-movie baddie, whereas Cox made him seem as normal as anyone else, and consequently much scarier.
My favourite movie villain in recent years has been Agent Smith in "The Matrix". The nonsensical sequels weakened the impact of his character quite a bit, but in the first movie he's great.
Hell yeah, it's the same reason why Bernard-Pierre Donnadieu was such a great villain in the original Vanishing. Villains are always creepier when their psychotic tendencies aren't laid out in black and white.
Also, as far as entertaining villains go, you can't get much better than Gruber in Die Hard.
