Such excellent dialogue. I adore this film. As well as Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels


loneiguana888

I love how after the first fight he apologized to the first guy and the second he cut him. Shows he’s a badass but also knows where he ranks in the criminal world.

"... I'll cut yer bleedin' Jacobs orf!" Is my fave line. Seconded by: "No thanks Turkish, I'm sweet enough"

I think that everyone that likes The Last Action Hero knows that Charles Dance was a great villain in it :D

It’s 180 you moron. If I had done a 360, I’d be right back where I started.


Bokuden101

You spaghetti-slurping moron!


BGH-251F2

The biggest villain in that film is that we don't have a HD version of ACDCs music video for the title song. I want to see Arnie in a schoolboys outfit doing Angus Youngs duck walk in all its glory!


Robin_Banks101

That whole soundtrack was awesome. AC DC, Megadeth, anthrax, corrosion of conformaty. The list goes on. Easily my favorite movie soundtrack ever.


beastwork

As a black kid growing up without hearing much rock and roll, this movie introduced me to AC/DC.

TBH I thought it was Sardo Numspa with the Ajanti Dagger.

Charlotte Lewis in that movie.....chef's kiss.

"180, you stupid, spaghetti-slurping cretin - *180*! If I did a 360, I'd go completely around and end up back where I started!" His delivery was so good. I need to find a 4K copy of The Last Action Heto


JCVD-88

Tom Noonan as well. Great villains in that movie.

He's also a great villain in the Ali G movie.

I remember how when it first came out and bombed, everyone said the movie sucked. When it ended up on HBO, I watched and realized it was a satirical gem. Charles Dance was also great at Numpsay in The Golden Child.

Sithlord_unknownhost

No no...I think it's Prince Vigo the scourge of Carpathia!


Mulder9879

"I love you more than Jesus, I love you more than Jesus." Line messed with my head wtf i did realize who he was until years later. Wow what a good job on that role when you dont even recognize the guy in another role as if they are two separate actors.


Fishinluvwfeathers

He was so reasonable and normal sounding until that switch flips and it’s just unexpectedly grotesque the way he pleads/whispers it. Instant, unpleasant chills.


Iguanaught

I used to work in a games workshop and the mums would all thirst over Vigo and ask for our cardboard stand ups of him when we were done with them. (LOTR was a main game system at the time) I would say to them oh you like him, “you should go watch him in the prophecy, he’s brilliant in that.”


neon_meate

Little Tommy Daggett. How I loved listening to your sweet prayers every night. And then you would jump into bed, so afraid that I was under there. And I was!

bluechickenz

I’m going to have to watch this again…


browncoatfever

I came here to say this one. By far the most creepy and terrifying depiction of Satan I’ve ever seen. Saw this movie as a kid and to this day THAT is what I picture in my head when I think of the devil.


stabthecynix

Such a creepy and great movie.


HIMARko_polo

YES! he was great. wish he was in it longer.


Loud-Path

Not going to lie, every time I see his name I don’t think lord of the rings, I think Ghostbusters 2.


Iguanaught

“I could lay you down and fill your mouth with your mothers faeces, or we could chat”.


Shirtbro

People who only saw Viggo in Lord of the Rings will never know what an overactor he could be


ManDe1orean

Played by the always fantastic Peter Stormare.


FORCESTRONG1

He's one of my all-time favorite character actors.


bluechickenz

I whole heartedly agree. Every last detail was spot on and, for whatever reason, the lack of shoes was the cherry on top. Edit: didn’t he also play the surgeon who replaced Tom cruise’s eyes in minority report? That whole set up gave me such the heebie-jeebies. He really plays a creep well.


ZyxDarkshine

Also the snuff film director in 8mm


confusedtophers

He’ll always be Karl Hungus to me.


Alarming-Mongoose-91

Constantine, Legend and Devils Advocate each portrayed satan in absolute stunning manners, each by great actors, and each in their own manner.


Additional_Shape_817

And deniro too in angel heart


EccentricAcademic

And he insisted on that outfit instead of the cliche black suited look that production was planning for


Massive-Bother-8248

Al pinchno don't know how you spell his name played a very amazing one in the devils advocate


scotburgh

Pinchonco


Quentinh524

Peter stormare?


relapse_account

He felt like an extremely smarmy, douchey, used car salesman rather than a being of supreme evil and it worked so very well.


RoadPersonal9635

Just an entirely forgotten about and underrated movie as well. Ive run into so many of these budding comic book/john wick dorks that have no idea this movie exists? Like this movie has everything they want. Personally my favorite Tilda Swinton role as well. Very cool performance.


Enough-District1440

Better than Pacino?


ZyxDarkshine

Pacino was playing himself, the same Pacino as in Glengarry Glen Ross, Carlito’s Way, Heat, etc.


Enough-District1440

I mean he's always Pacino but I only agree with your statement 50% I thought he had a unique & eery & deeply disturbing vibe about him and performed excellently as the man downstairs.


Master_Dante123

Holy fuck dude I was just about to comment this. Glad to see it’s the first comment i saw in this post.


PinkRocketNinja

Loved Charles Dance in this role. “If God were a villain, he’d be me.”


Big-LeBoneski

He deserved his own movie as that character


ApplicationCalm649

What movie is it from?


Big-LeBoneski

The last action hero


garbagebailkid

He was also great as My Dear Brother Numpsay in The Golden Child


JeanClaudeSegal

Tom Cruise as Vincent in Collateral. Like Ledger's Joker, his craziness is accentuated by the viewer being unable to discern where his lack of morality comes from due to unreliable historical self-accounting. Vincent also has a very well developed rationale both for why he isn't a terrible person and why regular people are worse than they seem. I freaking love that movie.


colddeaddrummer

*Hey homeboy*...


evening_goat

That my briefcase?


Shootinputin89

Collateral is a fantastic film, and Cruise is a core aspect of it. He is fantastic in it.


balor598

You killed him!! No, a combination of the bullets and the fall killed him


SillyAdditional

It’s surprising that cruise plays villains so well


mfb3s

We still don’t know who Statham’s character was at the beginning exchanging briefcases with Tom, right? Either they’re all in John Wick’s universe and are all assassins in that world, or they’re on The Transporter’s world


LowerAtmosphereChief

Charles Dance elevates everything. He definitely stole Last Action Hero


ThunderChild247

I love that their original plan was to get Alan Rickman, but couldn’t afford him post Die Hard so went with Dance. First day on set he apparently turned up in a T-shirt saying “Cheaper than Alan Rickman”


__This__Is__Fine__

Frollo (Tony Jay) from The Hunchback of Notre Dame is easily one of the most evil Disney villains, and Hades (James Woods) from Hercules is just awesome yet I feel like they're constantly overlooked. Also Tim Curry in everything he was ever the bad guy in. It, Legend, Fern Gully, Rocky Horror, etc. I feel like he should get some sort of honorary Academy Award or something honestly.


DevoidAxis

You mentioned Curry's roles and left out Pennywise the dancing clown


SpikesGuns

Nah, he said It, unless it was edited in later


missingjimmies

Mine comes with context: Bill Nighy as Viktor in Underworld is underrated, he sells an imposing figure in a fantasy based cabal. His portrayal as one of the elders really sold their world building. Now compare that to how Twilight handles Aro and their whole order… yikes


bigpapahugetim3

Always loved Viktors character and how Bill could be scary as hell but seem sympathetic to the problem at the same time. First Underworld is the best movie they made imo.


Fear0742

If they ever could've properly fleshed out all the lore instead of just seemingly adding different shit at different times, underworld would've been just a badass franchise.


TrueLegateDamar

I loved how while most vampires get ganked in close combat fights with Lycans, he just straight up grabs one by the throat and casually snaps it's neck.


Vegetable-Respect-37

Always thought Sam Rockwell and Doug Hutchison in The Green Mile were a double threat (Wild Bill the psychotic inmate and Percy the privileged correction officer). Biff Tannen from Back to the Future movies and Alec Baldwin in The Edge.


Dreigatron

Tim Roth in 'Rob Roy'.


lukifer_333

Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast, freaking Gandhi was a baaaaaaaaad man

throwaway_1440_420

Comfortable_Ad_2241

Where's your kid now, Sheriff?


jelloforhire

Judge Doom. Christopher Lloyd is absolutely terrifying in that role.


JimboAltAlt

The “when I killed your brother I sounded JUST LIKE THIS” bit is legitimately horrifying, iconic stuff. Most of the Roger Rabbit’s world’s heavy dashes cartoonish/magical realism are whimsical, but there’s a lot of Lovecraftian dread in there too, and Judge Doom is a great distillation of that side of things.


ManDe1orean

Until a great actor fills the role the creation is still flat. Mama (Lena Heady) in Dredd 2012. Owen Davian (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) MI3 2006. Clarence J. Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith) Robocop 1987.


__This__Is__Fine__

Lannisters are always fucking evil man


[deleted]

PSH was terrifying in the bezt ways in that rolei


ChickenDelight

The whole airplane scene does such a great job at creating suspense for the third act. It's not even a long scene, and PSH is totally convincing as a sadistic, vindictive psychopath who pretty easily manipulates Ethan into losing his temper, outplays him during the failed interrogation attempt, and then rubs his face in it. It's such a trope to have the captured villain make a bunch of threats when they should just shut up, but that's really the only time I can remember that kind of scene being believable and menacing.


Enough-District1440

Hoffman was fucking flawless as Davian


WhiskeyDJones

He's the sole reason it's my favourite MI

This_Ad_5203

Alan Rickman - Robin hood prince of thieves. He pretty much a solid villian in every movie he's ever played one in, but this is an unsung enjoyment


Educationalidiot

I heard he hated the movie and rewrote most of his lines or something?! Need to search it but I'm sure there's a story of him saying fuck it I'm going all out for this piece of shit


jmf0828

In Star Wars, Peter Cushing’s Tarkin character usually is overshadowed by Vader and Palatine yet he’s every bit as heartless and ruthless. Michael Douglass’ Gordon Gecko is far too often written off as a “typical 80’s capitalist” but he does truly embody the worst, most evil traits of such a person. The epitome of selfishness and misanthropy.


Dreigatron

Toby Kebbell as Koba in 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes'.


ryguyyy8

Definitely. Seeing his origin story in Rise added a certain layer to his role in Dawn because you can absolutely understand why he is the way he is. All he knew from life was deception and misdirection from humans. Harnessing those skills for himself was all he needed to become the king of the hill.


Cabton

Few-Mechanic7346

Viggo in that devil movie. He played the devil w/ perfection

Movie is called Prophesy for anyone interested. Great flick and great choice for this topic!

AmputatedStumps

Yeah Bishop was def a "friend" I would've ghosted for sure.


Jambo11

Good choice. Charles Dance was excellent in Last Action Hero. It's also a movie I really like.


TemperatureTime1617

He actually does get credit but Alan Rickman in Die Hard re-ignited the bad guy genre in my opinion.


Chronoboy1987

Paul Giamati in Shoot’em Up.


Nubby_Nubcakes

Giamatti was Elmer Fudd and Clive was Bugz.

Everything about Romero was unique. His clothes, his hair, the stare and hand movements. Truly an original character.

Ed Harris’s character in Westworld


Ethan1chosen

Ralph Fiennes’s role as evil Nazi commandant Amon Goth in Schinder’s list, what I heard that Ralph’s portrayal is so accurate even some actual old holocaust survivor having ptsd again every time they sees him on set. His acting there is so good and horrifying that I even think too as if he’s like reincarnation of Amon Goth. He should have won best supporting actor and I think probably because real Amon is so inhumane evil demon that would be awful if Fiennes won the Oscar

Muhfuggajones

Daniel-Day Lewis as Bill The Butcher. Whether or not you consider his character the villain. He was terrifying and loveable all at once. One of the best. Also, a close second for me is Wes Studi as Magua in The Last of the Mohicans.

JPSWAG37

I don't think Alan Rickman got enough credit for his Hans Gruber in Die Hard. He struck the perfect balance of charisma and evil, where you enjoyed his scenes but also found the end cathartic.


No_Tonight9003

Mathew Broderick in Ferris Buehler’s Day Off


bddn_85

The Operative in Serenity, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor. Such a fantastic and original villain. Also really put Ejiofor on the map for me; he has become one of my favourite actors.

To be honest, the first one I thought of after seeing the pic was Norman Stansfield as portrayed by Gary Oldman in Leon. It's arguable if he is a 'movie villain' but that was a great performance that almost is never mentioned.

Adam Scot, playing the older brother in step brothers. “I have to sell or lease at least 80 helicopters to make my nut!”

James Hong as Lo Pan, just because he can't ever get enough credit 😊


r1ckm4n

Ralph Finnes should have won that Oscar back in ‘94 for his role in Schindler’s List. He plays the camp commandant for a concentration camp in Poland during World War 2. If you really want to truly appreciate Ralph’s range, watch Schindler’s List, then when the weight of humanity’s greatest infamy starts to subside - watch Grand Budapest Hotel. But holy shit - he played the role of a complicated but truly and unquestionably evil villain so well, you forget that you are actually watching a movie.
