Who is the best TV or movie Bad guy or girl?

Post by Graham Kennedy »

Ever find yourself admiring the Bad Guy or Girl because they are smarter than the hero, more dedicated, more hard working, better looking, or just because they are so damn cool?

Which TV or movie bad guy does it for you?

For me it's Colonel Nathan Jessop from "A Few Good Men". He's a liar and a coward, but he's damn cool with it.

I like the guy off Inside man. Pulling off a Bank robbery with out hurting anyone to get back at a ex Nazi. Good/Bad guy.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

FarScape's Scorpius! The calm and deliberate atmosphere he carries about him... He always seems prepared for whatever course the hero of the show takes.

The Master, as played by Roger Delgado - a brilliant foil for Pertwee's Third Doctor.

Since I now have a young sub unit, I watch a lot of Disney. I actually love Maleficent from the original Sleeping Beauty. If you haven't seen it (or it's been awhile) I'd recommend it (fastforward the parts she's not in and you're looking at about 30 minutes or so).

Shan Yu from Mulan is good as well...

Non Disney:

Original Terminator, Borg Queen. I'm sure I'll stumble onto a few others at 3am, but there's my 'top of mind' list.

After reading the Khan trilogy, Khan is high on the list. Wonderful books, the two "Rise and Fall" and "To Reign in Hell"
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away, don't you hear me calling you?

Risa and Fall kind of makes you feel sorry for him. Especially the first one.

Very much so, and his wrath and desire for vengance almost seems justified. Moreover, it makes what he does all that more impressive!

Emperor Palpatine (mainly the Return of the Jedi version). He's so over-the-top, cacklingly evil! :lol:

Not to mention Dukat, Weyoun, Female Changeling (yeah, I'm a DS9 fan), Chang (ST VI), Thrawn, etc.

If it is not just in the sci-fi genre, Hannibal Lecter!

Thrawn and Vader both rocked. Isard just didn't cut it I thought. That red / blue eye thing just didn't compare.

But I personally like Chairface Chipindale from The Tick. I mean seriously, he was carving his name into the moon at The City. How cool is that?
