00:00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most memorable and rewarding times a villain got their ticket punched.
00:00:18Spoilers ahead for the following baddies.
00:00:21You ordered the meatloaf. The brisket's really good here, only you'll never know it.
00:00:27Number 75, The Grabber, The Black Phone.
00:00:31The Grabber abducts Finney, but the latter gets calls from the ghosts of other victims.
00:00:35This horror movie makes you wonder what else is possible.
00:00:38Thankfully for the hero, he figures out how to outmaneuver the villain and use the title phone in another way.
00:00:52The protagonist trips the serial killer and lets the latter fall into a pit.
00:00:56Injured and unmasked, the enemy then gets confronted by spirits.
00:01:00It's for you.
00:01:02Welcome to the nightmare end of your pathetic little life.
00:01:06You don't have much time.
00:01:10Ethan Hawke's terrifying murderer can't escape a tight telephone cord either.
00:01:14The heroic teenager takes the power back, with life slowly draining from the abductor's eyes.
00:01:19It couldn't have happened to a worse person.
00:01:21Number 74, Bennett's Commando.
00:01:28This classic 1980s action movie finds Arnold Schwarzenegger at his best.
00:01:33His hero is out to save his daughter, but first he needs to go through some testy mercenaries.
00:01:37He's ultimately looking for a villain known as Bennett.
00:01:40John?
00:01:40How's your arm, John?
00:01:43Come over and find out.
00:01:45No thanks.
00:01:46I think I'll take a pass.
00:01:48Schwarzenegger plays well in this over-the-top story, ensuring that this death and everything leading up to it is entertaining.
00:01:54John Matrix takes care of the antagonist with a little help from electricity and a pipe.
00:01:58What's it feel like to be a dying man?
00:02:01You're a dead man, John!
00:02:03Bullshit!
00:02:10Commando doesn't pull any punches, pushing this movie and its violence to the limit.
00:02:15The kidnapper pressed his luck too many times, and didn't account for Matrix's improvisation.
00:02:20Let off some steam, Bennett.
00:02:22Number 73, Alexander Pearce, Captain America, The Winter Soldier.
00:02:30He's supposed to be a S.H.I.E.L.D. official, but Alexander Pearce is much more sinister.
00:02:34You might not believe it either, considering he's played by a historic leading man named Robert Redford.
00:02:39Somebody murdered my friend, I'm going to find out why.
00:02:43Anyone gets in my way, they're going to regret it.
00:02:47Anyone.
00:02:47The character is actually a HYDRA agent, trying to manipulate the organization and make Captain America's life harder.
00:02:54He then draws the ire of one Nick Fury.
00:02:57Pearce already did some horrible things, including killing his housekeeper.
00:03:01This makes his death scene especially gratifying.
00:03:03Oh, Renata.
00:03:05I wish you would have knocked.
00:03:11Fury silences the corrupt, but only after some help from Black Widow.
00:03:15Nobody should cross the MCU heroes, especially somebody like this stuffy and evil bureaucrat.
00:03:28Number 72, Magua, The Last of the Mohicans.
00:03:32For all of the fighting that goes on in The Last of the Mohicans, this villain stands as a compelling and stoic warrior.
00:03:38He's caused so much destruction by the end of this plot too.
00:03:41Director Michael Mann sets up an exciting mountaintop meeting with Hawkeye and company hot on the enemy's trail.
00:04:05Magua's various alliances and rivalries come to a head in this standoff.
00:04:09With the swing of a weapon, his fate is sealed in a dramatic fashion.
00:04:23Chingachgook settles a personal score and proves himself in one of the most meaningful parts of this adventure.
00:04:30Number 71, Lord Cutler Beckett.
00:04:32Pirates of the Caribbean at World's End.
00:04:34For all of its quirky energy and twists, the original Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy ends in spectacular fashion.
00:04:40A villain emerges in the third entry as the one to beat other than the supernatural Davy Jones.
00:04:46Advise your brethren.
00:04:48You can fight and all of you will die.
00:04:51Or you can not fight, in which case only most of you will die.
00:04:55Lord Beckett sees himself as a British naval master, but he's mostly a stuck-up man getting in the way of our lead heroes.
00:05:01His last scene finds him taking another stroll across his ship before it's destroyed.
00:05:05The slow motion adds to the overall effect, with this man receiving an almost mythical exit from the series.
00:05:23It's one that you might have enjoyed on your first watch, or years later, as an internet meme.
00:05:27Number 70, Sean Noakes, Sleepers.
00:05:42For this intense drama, Kevin Bacon transforms into a terrible person with zero regrets.
00:05:47He makes life for juvenile delinquents infinitely worse, and doesn't seem to care about the result.
00:05:51Bread.
00:05:52Eat!
00:05:53Let's go!
00:05:54Come on now!
00:05:55That's good, that's good.
00:05:56Yeah, show the boys how you follow my rules.
00:05:59Rules!
00:06:00You understand?
00:06:01When two of those boys grow up, they run into Sean Noakes and question him.
00:06:05When the villain doesn't show any remorse, the two heroes exact their own form of vigilante justice.
00:06:11Ah, you were scared little pricks.
00:06:14Both of yous.
00:06:16All yous.
00:06:17We don't blame them either, considering how awful the antagonist really is.
00:06:21This movie might be a rough watch for many audiences,
00:06:24but it does make a powerful point about people that mistreat children.
00:06:28Jerry.
00:06:31Sorry, you should have made those brisket sandwiches to go.
00:06:34Number 69, Buffalo Bill, The Silence of the Lambs.
00:06:37Many people remember The Silence of the Lambs for Hannibal Lecter.
00:06:40They might not all remember the main villain, with FBI agents on the hunt for the killer known as Buffalo Bill.
00:06:46He's a dangerous man that's kidnapped a woman and done much worse to other victims.
00:06:50It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.
00:06:56He finally meets Clarice Starling at his front door.
00:06:59When things get hairy, the two wind up in Gum's dark and spooky basement.
00:07:03Starling uses her wits and a little luck to subdue the target.
00:07:15After all of his menacing work, the antagonist loses his life in a pitch black shootout.
00:07:20Number 68, Obadiah Stain, Iron Man.
00:07:31Jeff Bridges usually plays the most lovable guy in a movie,
00:07:34but in Iron Man he becomes a ruthless villain.
00:07:37Obadiah Stain seems like an ally,
00:07:39until he reveals his scummy business partner side to Tony Stark.
00:07:42And a generation of weapons.
00:07:45With this at its heart.
00:07:50Weapons that will help steer the world back on course.
00:07:54Put the balance of power in our hands.
00:07:58At the right hands.
00:07:59Underneath his welcoming exterior,
00:08:01he's waiting for a chance to put on a suit for himself.
00:08:04The climax finds Stain and Stark battling it out,
00:08:07before an electrically charged finisher.
00:08:09Nobody knows this technology better than the original inventor,
00:08:12putting this villain in a particularly bad spot.
00:08:20The fact that it's bridges only makes you feel more betrayed.
00:08:29As he's electrocuted,
00:08:31the shallow villain finds that he's never been right for the job.
00:08:45Number 67, Staff Sergeant Barnes, Platoon.
00:08:49In the movie Platoon,
00:08:50Charlie Sheen's character is caught between the influence of two sergeants.
00:08:54Staff Sergeant Barnes kills his rival,
00:08:56and sets his sights on grunt Chris Taylor.
00:09:06In a climactic battle,
00:09:07the protagonist almost dies before an airstrike interrupts Barnes.
00:09:11Taylor wakes up with a chance to seek out revenge.
00:09:13His superior officer expects a medic,
00:09:15but his subordinate dishes out a much more violent reply instead.
00:09:19It also doesn't help that this villain is particularly sadistic,
00:09:22with his evil orders and scar making things worse.
00:09:24Get me a medic.
00:09:28Go around, boy.
00:09:31He's practically asking for this to happen the whole time.
00:09:34Even in a film full of bad eggs,
00:09:35he remains the worst of them all.
00:09:37Ryan Coogler's vampire movie Sinners contains many memorable characters.
00:09:51As the main villain,
00:09:52Remick stands out for his persuasive and sometimes musical nature.
00:09:55He might be effective,
00:10:09but he's also someone that you hope to see defeated by Dawn.
00:10:12As Smoke and Sammy try to escape,
00:10:14they find themselves in the water with the antagonist.
00:10:16All of his injuries pile up until he and his followers see the sun.
00:10:26At that point,
00:10:27his luck runs out as his gruesome transformation begins.
00:10:30It's a spectacular finish for somebody that's responsible
00:10:33for taking out so many innocent people.
00:10:35Number 65, Alec Trevelyan, Goldeneye.
00:10:54This particular Bond adventure finds the secret agent going up against an old friend.
00:10:58Alec Trevelyan makes Goldeneye much more interesting,
00:11:01giving James Bond a physical equal
00:11:03that knows how to push the hero's buttons.
00:11:05He shows up again after faking his death and plotting a huge scheme.
00:11:09England is about to learn the cost of betrayal.
00:11:13Inflation adjusted for 1945.
00:11:18Welcome to the party, my dear.
00:11:20When the two meet on the top of an antenna,
00:11:22the two fight before 007 drops his buddy.
00:11:25Trevelyan doesn't just fall either,
00:11:26staying conscious long enough to be crushed by his hard work.
00:11:35You can call it karma, or you can call it some satisfying writing.
00:11:45Either way, you don't forget the image of this enemy meeting his maker.
00:11:49Number 64, Archibald Cunningham, Rob Roy.
00:12:01For this classic Scottish tale, the hero tests his strength against a notable villain.
00:12:05Tim Roth plays Archibald Cunningham with both style and a diabolical attitude.
00:12:09There will be no backstabbing.
00:12:11You will not throw your blades,
00:12:13nor will you use weapons other than agreed.
00:12:17If quarter is asked...
00:12:18No quarter will be asked.
00:12:21Forgiven.
00:12:22In their final duel,
00:12:23both swordsmen give their all
00:12:24to one of the ultimate showcases of quick thinking and reflexes.
00:12:28When it looks like the villain has the upper hand,
00:12:30Rob Roy sneaks in with some decisive swordsmanship.
00:12:33He also manages to do it while seriously wounded.
00:12:35In an old-fashioned face-off,
00:12:44both men come ready to fight,
00:12:46and only one unleashes his true potential.
00:12:48The humble protagonist ultimately uses his sword to silence a show-off.
00:12:57Number 63, Max Cady, Cape Fear.
00:13:00Martin Scorsese's remake of Cape Fear
00:13:02puts Robert De Niro in the role of an ex-con with a grudge.
00:13:05Free once more,
00:13:06Max Cady targets the defense attorney
00:13:08that he holds responsible for his prison time.
00:13:10As the enemy closes in,
00:13:12the hero ends up on a boat with his opponent.
00:13:19It's here that the two end up in close quarters
00:13:21during a violent storm.
00:13:23Despite trying to burn and fight the guy,
00:13:25the Bowdoin family can't shake their tormentor.
00:13:27We are now in the ninth circle,
00:13:30the circle of tracers.
00:13:32Tracers to country,
00:13:33tracers to fellow man,
00:13:35tracers to God.
00:13:37A handcuffed Cady then finds himself going down with the ship.
00:13:40Throughout the entire film,
00:13:41you're wondering what it will take for this terrible guy to lose.
00:13:45It turns out that Mother Nature herself needed to get involved.
00:13:48A bearable roaming world!
00:13:51Number 62, Donald Pierce, Logan.
00:14:05This movie might not be the end for Hugh Jackman's Wolverine,
00:14:08but it's still a stirring tale about an aging mutant.
00:14:11It also features at least one villain that you hope to see go down.
00:14:14Donald Pierce is a man on a mission,
00:14:32with his cocky attitude and killing streak
00:14:34making him an instant target.
00:14:36He's one in a long line of people
00:14:37that wants to see the clawed hero fall.
00:14:44Considering the movie's R rating,
00:14:49it's only fitting that some graphic images seal the deal.
00:14:52Let's just say we all waited to see this antagonist
00:14:54shuffle off this mortal coil.
00:14:57Some gifted children finish the job,
00:14:59bringing down Pierce with their combined strength.
00:15:10Number 61, Angel Eyes.
00:15:12The good, the bad, and the ugly.
00:15:14Considering that he's the bad of the title,
00:15:16it only makes sense that Angel Eyes is a hated character.
00:15:19Lee Van Cleef plays him in such a devilish and despicable way
00:15:22that you can hardly stand it.
00:15:24I don't know where he is.
00:15:25He backed his things ten days ago.
00:15:27I'm going to wait with his unit.
00:15:29They were left.
00:15:30Which company? Where'd they go?
00:15:32The mercenary is quite merciless,
00:15:34but he's no match for his two counterparts.
00:15:36The trio's final duel ends with this villain in a grave.
00:15:40Van Cleef does a superb job in making you love to hate him,
00:15:43with some stiff competition from the other scoundrels in this plot.
00:15:54His death helps to end an iconic standoff
00:15:58and a legendary trilogy.
00:16:00Number 60, Cyrus the Virus, Grissom.
00:16:20Con Air.
00:16:20Along with his reputation as a hardened criminal,
00:16:23Cyrus the Virus certainly lives up to his nickname.
00:16:25A.K.A. Cyrus the Virus.
00:16:2739 years old, 25 of them spent in our institutions.
00:16:31But he's bettered himself inside,
00:16:33earned two degrees including his Juris Doctor.
00:16:35He also killed 11 fellow inmates,
00:16:37incited three riots, and escaped twice.
00:16:40His appalling work makes the audience more invested
00:16:42in Nicolas Cage's hero quest.
00:16:44The climax follows the characters through a thrilling chase
00:16:46and leads to a high-powered machine.
00:16:54While some might have settled for his arrest,
00:16:57the viral villain takes a bow in a much more pressing way.
00:17:00The baddie finds his head underneath the striking point of a pile driver.
00:17:04We don't need to tell you what happens next,
00:17:06but rest assured, he's not recovering from that headache.
00:17:09Number 59, Sport, Taxi Driver.
00:17:21Harvey Keitel's character in Taxi Driver
00:17:23is disturbing the moment you meet him.
00:17:25Controlling Iris' life,
00:17:27the man seems all too interested in being as gross as possible.
00:17:30I depend on you.
00:17:34I'd be lost without you.
00:17:37Don't you ever forget that.
00:17:39It takes a real anti-hero to bring Sport down.
00:17:42When Travis Bickle arms himself,
00:17:44he heads for the villain's headquarters.
00:17:46It's there that this antagonist meets the New York Angel of Death.
00:17:49Get out of here.
00:17:51Suck on this.
00:17:52If that isn't enough,
00:17:53Bickle also fires at a number of clients and associates.
00:17:56This ending is still shockingly violent and gritty to this day.
00:18:00After multiple shots,
00:18:01Keitel's bad guy loses against an unstoppable force.
00:18:09Number 58, Colonel Miles Quaritch, Avatar.
00:18:14Even if this isn't your favorite film,
00:18:17Avatar still delivers as this guy keels over.
00:18:20This military leader in the James Cameron epic
00:18:22might as well be marked for death the moment you meet him.
00:18:24Out there beyond that fence,
00:18:27every living thing that crawls,
00:18:29flies or squats in the mud
00:18:31wants to kill you and eat your eyes for jujubes.
00:18:34Colonel Quaritch is the ultimate macho man,
00:18:37unconcerned about the havoc he's unleashing on Pandora.
00:18:40The film's epic ending follows Jake Sully
00:18:42as he comes face to face with the villain's amp suit.
00:18:59These warriors fight hard,
00:19:00but two arrow shots put Quaritch in his place.
00:19:03For everything he did to the planet,
00:19:05you're definitely not sad to see him go either.
00:19:07Number 57, Steamboat Willie, Saving Private Ryan.
00:19:21For this pivotal part of Saving Private Ryan,
00:19:23the squad captures and frees an enemy
00:19:25known as Steamboat Willie.
00:19:27Please, I like America.
00:19:32Fancy schmancy, what a cent,
00:19:34go fly, kite, get that you tongue, cool beans.
00:19:37His reappearance in the final battle
00:19:39makes for a dark and ironic twist.
00:19:41After taking out another ally,
00:19:43Willie sets his sights on Captain Miller.
00:19:45The allies win the battle
00:19:46and Upham has a chance to take revenge.
00:19:48Steven Spielberg's war drama
00:19:50asks many complicated questions,
00:19:52with this moment ranking high
00:19:53as a deep and cathartic release.
00:20:01You could argue back and forth about the choice,
00:20:03but deep down many viewers may agree
00:20:05that he earned an execution.
00:20:11Number 56, Frank Nitty, The Untouchables.
00:20:14Over the course of this movie,
00:20:16you come to love the ragtag crew in The Untouchables.
00:20:18Their adventures don't last forever
00:20:20as the Chicago mob picks them off.
00:20:22Frank Nitty is one of the enforcers
00:20:23responsible for these deaths,
00:20:25and it looks like he might get away with them.
00:20:27Give him his gun back.
00:20:28To whom it may concern,
00:20:29please extend to the bearer, Mr. Frank Nitty,
00:20:32all possible courtesy and consideration.
00:20:35William Thompson, mayor of the city of Chicago.
00:20:37In the third act,
00:20:38Elliot Ness confronts the villain on a rooftop.
00:20:40He initially makes the decision
00:20:42to save the gangster from falling.
00:20:43What are you waiting for?
00:20:46Don't just stand there.
00:20:48Harass me!
00:20:49Don't push me.
00:20:56Nitty doesn't live much longer, though,
00:20:57because the head policeman
00:20:58decides to give his enemy a push.
00:21:01Flailing off the side of a building,
00:21:02the antagonist receives a taste
00:21:03of his own cruel medicine.
00:21:05David Lynch's villain Frank Booth
00:21:20is someone that's detestable
00:21:21from his first scene.
00:21:23The psychopathic gang leader
00:21:24loves toxic relationships,
00:21:26yelling, and perhaps blue ribbon.
00:21:27Here's the bear!
00:21:28Here's the bear!
00:21:29Hey, you fucking neighbor!
00:21:31Here's to Ben!
00:21:37Here's to Ben!
00:21:38Be polite!
00:21:41Here's to Ben!
00:21:43Jeffrey Beaumont becomes
00:21:44the villain's instant rival,
00:21:46setting up a standoff
00:21:47in Dorothy's apartment.
00:21:48The hero starts a clever diversion
00:21:50and waits for Booth to show up.
00:21:52With a trusty revolver,
00:21:53Beaumont makes sure that this antagonist
00:21:54can't hurt anybody anymore.
00:22:01Karma catches up
00:22:03with the terrible dude
00:22:04by way of a bullet.
00:22:05Dennis Hopper's performance
00:22:06might be mesmerizing,
00:22:07but we all kind of wanted
00:22:09to see this guy go away
00:22:10sooner or later.
00:22:18Number 54,
00:22:19Clarence Bottica, Robocop.
00:22:21It's safe to say
00:22:22that the Robocop villains
00:22:23are among the most vile
00:22:24in movie history,
00:22:25so this won't be the only one
00:22:27on our list.
00:22:29No power is safe!
00:22:30Kill Eddie, Mio!
00:22:33Yeah!
00:22:35No!
00:22:36Who are you?
00:22:37One by one,
00:22:38they're taken down,
00:22:39but Clarence Bottica
00:22:40receives his own
00:22:41violent conclusion.
00:22:43The villain watches
00:22:43a friend explode
00:22:44before trying to bring down
00:22:45the injured hero by himself.
00:22:47All right!
00:22:48I got him, Clarence!
00:22:50I got him!
00:22:55Thinking he has the upper hand,
00:22:57the antagonist doesn't realize
00:22:58he's too close
00:22:59for one of the metal officer's gadgets.
00:23:01The ensuing mess
00:23:02might even turn your stomach.
00:23:04Stabbing the opponent
00:23:05with his date spike,
00:23:06the cop sends another bad guy
00:23:07to their grave.
00:23:11I am not a Robocop!
00:23:14Bottica fittingly dies
00:23:16after spending the entire film
00:23:18being an unrepentant murderer.
00:23:20Number 53, Baron Harkonnen
00:23:22Dune, Part 2
00:23:24On the desert world of Arrakis,
00:23:26Baron Harkonnen hopes to use his family
00:23:27in order to assert control.
00:23:29His loyal underlings do his bidding
00:23:31as he takes gross baths
00:23:32and orders everyone around.
00:23:41Paul Atreides later ambushes the leader
00:23:44and confronts him on a stairwell.
00:23:46Rather than giving him a dignified finish,
00:23:47Atreides takes care of the Cowardly Man
00:23:49in a relatively quick
00:23:50and painful ceremony.
00:24:00It's exactly the kind of revenge scene
00:24:01that makes the Dune plot
00:24:03even more memorable.
00:24:04Not long afterwards,
00:24:05the duel with a chilling Fedratha
00:24:07makes for another exciting
00:24:09and satisfying moment.
00:24:11You'll find one, Atreides.
00:24:12Number 52, Dennis Nedry, Jurassic Park
00:24:23As one of the smarter characters
00:24:25in Jurassic Park,
00:24:25it's only fitting that he sells out
00:24:27to the competition.
00:24:28Dennis Nedry sneaks away
00:24:30to steal some valuable embryos
00:24:31and ends up in an accident.
00:24:33He looks like he's going to survive the storm,
00:24:35but then Nedry runs into an acidic dinosaur.
00:24:38It's another shocking turn
00:24:39for somebody that paid for their disloyalty.
00:24:40Of all the deaths in this movie,
00:24:51this one seems to be
00:24:52among the most excruciating.
00:24:54It just goes to show
00:24:55that you shouldn't mess
00:24:56with an island full of prehistoric creatures.
00:25:05To top things off,
00:25:06he reminds us of another
00:25:07shifty and comedic character
00:25:09from a hit NBC sitcom.
00:25:11We had a deal, Newman,
00:25:12and you were supposed to give me
00:25:13your birthday wish
00:25:14and now you've wasted it.
00:25:16Did I?
00:25:18Number 51, Lord Denethor,
00:25:21The Lord of the Rings,
00:25:22The Return of the King.
00:25:23Differing from his role in the book,
00:25:25Lord Denethor represents
00:25:26one of the most untrustworthy characters
00:25:27in the movie version
00:25:28of The Return of the King.
00:25:30This makes his ending
00:25:31all the more impactful.
00:25:33After thinking Faramir died,
00:25:34he plans to join his son's
00:25:35premature and fiery funeral.
00:25:37There is no victory.
00:25:43The only problem is
00:25:45he has to contend with Gandalf
00:25:46and Pippin first.
00:25:48His inflamed finale
00:25:48comes after a few
00:25:49questionable choices
00:25:50with his crazed behavior
00:25:52taking over.
00:25:52He's too late to realize
00:26:02his mistakes
00:26:03and takes a big dive
00:26:04as a result.
00:26:05Rather than stopping
00:26:06to calm down,
00:26:07this foolish ruler
00:26:08runs afoul of fire
00:26:10and faces the consequences.
00:26:16Number 50, Thanos,
00:26:18Avengers Endgame.
00:26:19Keeping track of the MCU's
00:26:20kill count isn't easy,
00:26:22considering that he wiped out
00:26:23half of all life.
00:26:24Though it's safe to say
00:26:25that Thanos has the most blood
00:26:27and dust on his hands.
00:26:29You should have gone for the head.
00:26:35Thanos isn't just given one,
00:26:36but two crowd-pleasing send-offs.
00:26:39First, Thor does what he should have done
00:26:41on Earth,
00:26:41going for the head.
00:26:42When another Thanos returns
00:26:43to finish what his predecessor started,
00:26:45the climatic battle
00:26:46builds to a confrontation
00:26:47between the Mad Titan
00:26:49and Iron Man.
00:26:50Thanos celebrates too soon
00:26:52as Tony snaps him
00:26:53and his army
00:26:54out of existence.
00:26:56I am
00:26:57Iron Man.
00:27:03Thanos sought the power
00:27:04of a god.
00:27:05Yet, it was a mortal man
00:27:07with no superpowers
00:27:08who ultimately brought
00:27:09his inevitable end.
00:27:10Accepting fate,
00:27:11the defeated Thanos
00:27:12disappears along with the wind.
00:27:14Number 49, Eli Sunday.
00:27:16There will be blood.
00:27:17Many would argue
00:27:18Daniel Plainview
00:27:19is this film's true villain.
00:27:21Do you understand, Eli?
00:27:24That's more to the point.
00:27:25Do you understand?
00:27:26That said, Eli Sunday
00:27:27isn't exactly a saint either,
00:27:29even if he is a preacher.
00:27:31When he visits Plainview
00:27:32in the final scene,
00:27:33Eli is convinced
00:27:34that the ball
00:27:35is in his court.
00:27:36Daniel throws a few curveballs
00:27:38in more ways than one.
00:27:39First,
00:27:40Daniel makes Eli admit
00:27:41that he isn't a prophet
00:27:42and denounce God.
00:27:44His confession is in vain,
00:27:45as Daniel has already
00:27:46drained all of the oil,
00:27:48leaving Eli with nothing.
00:27:50Humiliating Eli
00:27:50and breaking his spirit
00:27:52isn't enough.
00:27:52Daniel must destroy
00:27:53his body as well.
00:27:55I am the third revelation.
00:27:58I am the third revelation.
00:28:01I told you I would eat you.
00:28:04We're men.
00:28:05I told you I would eat you.
00:28:07God isn't answering
00:28:08Eli's pleas for help
00:28:09as Daniel turns him
00:28:11into a human bowling pin
00:28:12before finishing him
00:28:13with an actual pin.
00:28:15Number 48,
00:28:16the T-1000.
00:28:17Terminator 2,
00:28:19Judgment Day.
00:28:19Part of what makes
00:28:20the T-1000's defeat
00:28:21so satisfying
00:28:22is that he seems
00:28:23virtually invincible.
00:28:25Even after the T-800
00:28:26shatters the liquid metal
00:28:28Terminator to pieces,
00:28:29the T-1000
00:28:30quickly reassembles.
00:28:31We don't have much time.
00:28:38If that didn't finish it,
00:28:40what will?
00:28:41This sets up
00:28:42for a second climax
00:28:43with the T-1000
00:28:44appearing more hell-bent
00:28:45than ever.
00:28:46It legitimately
00:28:47fools the audience
00:28:48and John
00:28:49when the T-1000
00:28:50takes on Sarah's form.
00:28:51As the real Sarah
00:28:52blasts the T-1000
00:28:53to the edge,
00:28:54the T-800
00:28:55resurfaces
00:28:56for the final shot.
00:28:57What's left
00:28:57of the T-1000
00:28:58collapses into a vat
00:29:00of molten steel.
00:29:01Assuming several
00:29:08of its past forms,
00:29:09the melting android
00:29:10finds this is one
00:29:11situation
00:29:12it can't shapeshift
00:29:13out of.
00:29:14This unstoppable force
00:29:15finally meets
00:29:16an immovable object.
00:29:18Number 47,
00:29:19Billy Loomis
00:29:20and Stu Macker.
00:29:21Scream.
00:29:22Scream fans
00:29:23go into each new movie
00:29:24expecting more
00:29:25than one killer.
00:29:26When the first film
00:29:26came out though,
00:29:27we didn't consider
00:29:28that two killers
00:29:29could be behind the mask.
00:29:31Surprise, Sydney.
00:29:32Sydney discovers
00:29:33that Ghost's face
00:29:34is her boyfriend Billy
00:29:35and his best friend Stu.
00:29:37While we underestimated Stu,
00:29:39Billy proves
00:29:39that sometimes
00:29:40having the most obvious
00:29:41suspect be the killer
00:29:42can be a genuine surprise.
00:29:44Sydney also has
00:29:45a few surprises
00:29:46in store for her attackers.
00:29:47For starters,
00:29:48Stu didn't see
00:29:49that TV set coming.
00:29:50Gail puts a bullet
00:29:51in Billy,
00:29:52but wait,
00:29:53don't the killers
00:29:53always come back
00:29:54for one more
00:29:55taste of bloodshed?
00:29:56Not in my movie.
00:29:58Sydney is a step ahead,
00:30:00ensuring that Billy
00:30:00won't be in
00:30:01any of the sequels.
00:30:03Er,
00:30:03hallucinations
00:30:04notwithstanding.
00:30:05Number 46,
00:30:06Judge Doom,
00:30:07Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
00:30:08Judge Doom
00:30:09doesn't just have
00:30:10ink and paint
00:30:11on his gloves.
00:30:12He's the Toon
00:30:12who murdered
00:30:13Eddie's brother.
00:30:14Remember me, Eddie?
00:30:16When I killed
00:30:18your brother,
00:30:19I talked
00:30:20just with me!
00:30:23With his plans
00:30:24to wash away
00:30:25Toontown nearly foiled,
00:30:26Doom seeks
00:30:27to ensure
00:30:28that his freaky
00:30:29red eyes
00:30:29are the last thing
00:30:30Eddie ever sees.
00:30:32Doom's undoing
00:30:33carries a few
00:30:33degrees of irony.
00:30:35Eddie,
00:30:35who had held
00:30:36a prejudice
00:30:36against Toons
00:30:37for the longest time,
00:30:38gets the upper hand
00:30:39with a cartoon weapon.
00:30:40Yet,
00:30:41it's Doom's own creation
00:30:42that marks his,
00:30:43well,
00:30:44Doom.
00:30:44As Dip
00:30:45floods the floor,
00:30:46Doom drowns
00:30:47in the very thing
00:30:48he sought to destroy
00:30:49his enemies with.
00:30:50Eddie?
00:30:50Instead,
00:30:58Doom erased himself
00:30:59off the face
00:31:00of the earth.
00:31:01See you
00:31:01in the funny papers.
00:31:02Or maybe
00:31:03not even there.
00:31:04Number 45,
00:31:05Carter Burke,
00:31:06Aliens.
00:31:06Not trusting
00:31:07androids due
00:31:08to her past experiences,
00:31:09Ellen Ripley spends
00:31:10most of the film
00:31:10being suspicious
00:31:11of Bishop.
00:31:12She should have
00:31:13been paying
00:31:13closer attention
00:31:14to Carter Burke,
00:31:15who will gladly
00:31:16send people
00:31:16to their deaths
00:31:17to benefit
00:31:18the corporation
00:31:18as well as himself.
00:31:20Wait a second.
00:31:21You sent them
00:31:22to that ship.
00:31:23You're wrong.
00:31:23I just checked
00:31:24the colony log.
00:31:25Directive dated
00:31:266-12-79,
00:31:27signed Burke,
00:31:28Carter J.
00:31:29You sent them
00:31:30out there
00:31:30and you didn't
00:31:31even warn them.
00:31:32Why didn't you
00:31:33warn them, Burke?
00:31:33We see Burke
00:31:34at his most sinister
00:31:35when he tries
00:31:36to have facehuggers
00:31:37impregnate Ripley
00:31:38and Little Newt.
00:31:39They're rescued,
00:31:40but Burke gives
00:31:41them the slip
00:31:42before he can face
00:31:42judgment.
00:31:43Burke would have
00:31:44been better off
00:31:44with the Marines
00:31:45as he comes
00:31:46face-to-face
00:31:46with a xenomorph.
00:31:54A deleted scene
00:31:55would have given
00:31:55Burke an even
00:31:56more brutal demise.
00:31:57Finding Burke
00:31:58cocooned and
00:31:59impregnated himself,
00:32:00Ripley leaves him
00:32:01with a grenade.
00:32:02Whichever version
00:32:02you prefer,
00:32:03Burke got what
00:32:04he deserved.
00:32:05Number 44,
00:32:06Benny Gabor,
00:32:07The Mummy.
00:32:07How is it that
00:32:08in a movie called
00:32:09The Mummy,
00:32:09we detest his
00:32:10wormy sidekick
00:32:12most of all?
00:32:12To call Benny
00:32:13a coward would be
00:32:14an understatement.
00:32:15He's a parasite
00:32:16who will betray
00:32:17anyone,
00:32:18including those
00:32:19he calls friends
00:32:19to save his own
00:32:20hide.
00:32:34Although Benny
00:32:34has left him for dead
00:32:35and brought danger
00:32:36to his door,
00:32:37Rick O'Connell
00:32:38still tries to help
00:32:39him as a
00:32:39Hamunaptra falls.
00:32:41When Greed gets
00:32:41the best of Benny,
00:32:42Rick isn't too
00:32:43broken up about
00:32:44leaving his old
00:32:45buddy behind.
00:32:45While Benny
00:32:46avoids being crushed,
00:32:47that would have
00:32:48been a quick death
00:32:48compared to what
00:32:49the scarabs have
00:32:50in store for him.
00:32:55Considering that
00:32:56Benny is a
00:32:57thin-skinned insect,
00:32:58it's only fitting
00:32:58that actual bugs
00:33:00would devour his
00:33:00flesh.
00:33:01Number 43,
00:33:02John S.
00:33:03Fitzgerald,
00:33:04The Revenant.
00:33:04It's unclear what
00:33:05exactly happened
00:33:06to the real
00:33:06John Fitzgerald,
00:33:08but we know
00:33:08Hugh Glass
00:33:09spared his rival's
00:33:10life because of
00:33:11his newfound
00:33:12status as a
00:33:13U.S.
00:33:13Army captain.
00:33:15I need a horse
00:33:16and a gun.
00:33:16No, you need
00:33:17rest and something
00:33:18to eat.
00:33:19I'm going after
00:33:19him.
00:33:20No, you'll
00:33:23never find him
00:33:23without me.
00:33:24The Revenant
00:33:25provides more
00:33:26closure as Glass
00:33:27finally tracks down
00:33:28the trapper,
00:33:28who killed his
00:33:29son and left
00:33:30him to rot.
00:33:30Since the creator
00:33:31gave Glass a
00:33:32chance, he
00:33:33concludes that
00:33:33Fitzgerald deserves
00:33:34the same opportunity.
00:33:35He sends the
00:33:36wounded Fitzgerald
00:33:37down the stream,
00:33:38letting the powers
00:33:39that B decide
00:33:40what becomes of
00:33:40him.
00:33:41That said, it's
00:33:41not like Glass
00:33:42is giving Fitzgerald
00:33:43a fighting chance.
00:33:44Fate isn't as
00:33:45forgiving towards
00:33:46Fitzgerald, who
00:33:46the Arikara
00:33:47immediately apprehend.
00:33:55Watching Fitzgerald
00:33:56get scalped won't
00:33:57bring his boy back,
00:33:59but it is highly
00:34:00satisfying.
00:34:01No, 42.
00:34:02Thulsa Doom,
00:34:03Conan the Barbarian.
00:34:05As a child,
00:34:05Conan lost his
00:34:06parents and his
00:34:07village, being
00:34:08subjected to a
00:34:08life of servitude.
00:34:10Upon earning his
00:34:10freedom, the
00:34:11Barbarian hunts
00:34:12down the one
00:34:12responsible for
00:34:13his years of
00:34:14misery, cult
00:34:14leader Thulsa
00:34:15Doom.
00:34:16My child, you
00:34:19have come to me,
00:34:20my son.
00:34:23For who now is
00:34:24your father if it
00:34:25is not me who
00:34:28gave you the
00:34:29will to live?
00:34:30With the
00:34:31hypnotically booming
00:34:32voice of James Earl
00:34:33Jones and the
00:34:34ability to turn into
00:34:35a snake, Doom
00:34:36seems untouchable.
00:34:37Doom doesn't even
00:34:38flinch when Conan
00:34:39approaches him atop
00:34:40the stairs of his
00:34:41temple, convinced his
00:34:42words alone can
00:34:43enslave him.
00:34:44Since Conan isn't
00:34:45much of a talker, he
00:34:46uses his father's
00:34:47sword to shut Doom
00:34:48up for good.
00:34:56Freeing people from
00:34:57a cult is a bit like
00:34:59slaying a snake.
00:35:00The most effective
00:35:01course of action is
00:35:02to cut off the
00:35:03head.
00:35:03Number 41, Salim
00:35:04Abu Aziz, True
00:35:06Lies.
00:35:06From one
00:35:07Schwarzenegger movie
00:35:08to another, secret
00:35:09agent Harry Tasker
00:35:10struggles to separate
00:35:11his work and
00:35:12personal lives when
00:35:13terrorist Salim
00:35:14Abu Aziz kidnaps
00:35:15his daughter, Dana.
00:35:17Harry, they've got
00:35:17a hostage.
00:35:18It's Dana.
00:35:20What do you mean?
00:35:22My Dana?
00:35:23I'm real sorry,
00:35:24Harry, I don't know
00:35:25what to say.
00:35:25The final actor of
00:35:26True Lies is one of
00:35:27the craziest ever
00:35:28committed to screen,
00:35:29upping the stakes with
00:35:30every ludicrous
00:35:31moment.
00:35:32As Dana clings to
00:35:33a jet piloted by
00:35:34her father, Aziz
00:35:35holds them at
00:35:36gunpoint.
00:35:37Harry throws
00:35:37Aziz off his
00:35:38high horse, but
00:35:39simply having the
00:35:40villain plummet to
00:35:41his death isn't
00:35:42enough for James
00:35:42Cameron.
00:35:43In a stunt that
00:35:44falls somewhere
00:35:44between high-octane
00:35:45action and Three
00:35:46Stooges comedy,
00:35:47Aziz gets stuck on
00:35:49a missile.
00:35:50Harry sends him
00:35:50off with a classic
00:35:52Schwarzenegger
00:35:52one-liner, killing
00:35:53two birds with one
00:35:54stone in the
00:35:55process.
00:35:56You're fired.
00:35:57While it's been
00:36:03theorized that the
00:36:04real Johnny Ringo
00:36:05took his own
00:36:05life, some believe
00:36:06his rival, Doc
00:36:07Holliday, was
00:36:08responsible.
00:36:08Tombstone takes the
00:36:25romanticized route,
00:36:26and we're happy it
00:36:27does.
00:36:28Although one is far
00:36:28more sadistic than the
00:36:29other, Ringo and
00:36:30Holliday have a fair deal
00:36:32in common.
00:36:32Both are sidekicks who
00:36:33stand on their own,
00:36:35both have a death wish,
00:36:36and both hate each
00:36:37other from the moment
00:36:38they cross paths.
00:36:39After sharing more
00:36:40than a few heated
00:36:41confrontations, Ringo
00:36:42and his Huckleberry
00:36:43settle the score
00:36:44once and for all.
00:36:45The build-up takes
00:36:45its time, making the
00:36:46audience sweat in
00:36:47their boots.
00:36:48Poor soul.
00:36:51You were just too
00:36:52high-strung.
00:36:53The duel is over
00:36:54faster than it starts,
00:36:55however.
00:36:55Winning their game,
00:36:56Doc taunts Ringo,
00:36:57who's pushing up
00:36:58daisies.
00:36:59Number 39,
00:37:00Fernand Mondego,
00:37:01The Count of
00:37:02Monte Cristo.
00:37:03It might not be the
00:37:03most faithful adaptation
00:37:04of Alexandra
00:37:05Dumas' novel,
00:37:07but 2002's
00:37:08The Count of
00:37:09Monte Cristo
00:37:09knows what it
00:37:10wants to be,
00:37:11a swashbuckling
00:37:12adventure.
00:37:13The finale gives
00:37:13the audience what
00:37:14they want as
00:37:15friends-turned-enemies
00:37:16Edmund Dantes
00:37:17and Fernand
00:37:18Mondego put their
00:37:19rivalry to rest.
00:37:20Edmund.
00:37:26How did I escape
00:37:27the difficulty?
00:37:31How did I plan
00:37:32this moment?
00:37:34With pleasure.
00:37:35That doesn't mean
00:37:36they let bygones
00:37:37be bygones.
00:37:37Edmund is willing
00:37:38to abandon revenge
00:37:39in exchange for
00:37:40being with his
00:37:41loved ones.
00:37:42Fernand, meanwhile,
00:37:43won't walk away
00:37:44from everything he
00:37:44worked so hard to
00:37:46steal, especially
00:37:47with nothing else
00:37:47on the horizon.
00:37:48Edmund's skills
00:37:49with the sword
00:37:50have vastly improved
00:37:51since Fernand
00:37:52stabbed him in the
00:37:52back years ago.
00:37:53What happened
00:37:54to your mercy?
00:37:56I'm a count,
00:37:58not a saint.
00:37:59Revenge can be
00:38:00satisfying, but in
00:38:02Fernand's case, it's
00:38:03what ultimately marks
00:38:04his final resting
00:38:05place.
00:38:06Number 38, Norman
00:38:07Stansfield, Leon the
00:38:10Professional.
00:38:10There are unhinged
00:38:11Gary Oldman
00:38:12performances, and then
00:38:13there's Norman
00:38:14Stansfield.
00:38:15Bring me everyone.
00:38:17What do you mean
00:38:18everyone?
00:38:19Everyone!
00:38:21Everything this
00:38:21corrupt DEA agent
00:38:23does is theatrical,
00:38:24including having a
00:38:25young girl's entire
00:38:26family murdered.
00:38:27Matilda is the one
00:38:29who got away.
00:38:29Stansfield is hell-bent
00:38:31on making sure she
00:38:32joins her family,
00:38:33although Matilda has
00:38:34a friend who's also
00:38:35pretty good at
00:38:35killing people.
00:38:36Even Leon has his
00:38:37limits.
00:38:38The doorway to
00:38:39salvation is closed
00:38:40when Stansfield fires
00:38:41from behind.
00:38:42At the very least,
00:38:43Leon can guarantee
00:38:44Stansfield won't
00:38:45harm anyone else.
00:38:46Wearing a vest of
00:38:47grenades, Leon leaves
00:38:48Stansfield with a
00:38:49parting gift from
00:38:50Matilda.
00:38:51We weep for Leon,
00:38:52but he went out as
00:38:53he lived, like a
00:38:55badass.
00:38:55Taking Stansfield
00:38:56with him is the
00:38:57cherry on top.
00:39:05Number 37,
00:39:07Madeline Marmar
00:39:07Madrigal, Dredd.
00:39:09Even if she is a
00:39:10ruthless drug kingpin,
00:39:11we also admire
00:39:12Marmar for rising
00:39:13through the ranks.
00:39:14The picture's pretty
00:39:15old, but that's her.
00:39:18Madeline Madrigal,
00:39:20a.k.a.
00:39:21Marmar.
00:39:21You know what they
00:39:22say, however?
00:39:23The higher they
00:39:23climb, the harder
00:39:24they fall.
00:39:25To reach Marmar,
00:39:26Dredd and his
00:39:26rookie partner fight
00:39:27through roughly 200
00:39:29floors of wall-to-wall
00:39:30mayhem.
00:39:31When Dredd reaches
00:39:32Marmar, you can feel
00:39:33the towering frustration
00:39:34these two have caused
00:39:35each other.
00:39:36Although Marmar thinks
00:39:37that she has Dredd
00:39:38bested, he manages to
00:39:39carry out her sentence
00:39:40while supplying a taste
00:39:41of her own medicine.
00:39:42Your crimes are multiple
00:39:44homicide in the
00:39:45manufacture and
00:39:46distribution of
00:39:47narcotics.
00:39:48How do you plead?
00:39:57Defence noted.
00:39:58In addition to
00:39:59throwing the book at
00:39:59Marmar, Dredd tosses
00:40:00her out of a window,
00:40:02but not before making
00:40:03the drug lord inhale
00:40:04a little slow-mo.
00:40:05This allows every ounce
00:40:07of Dredd Marmar
00:40:07experiences on the
00:40:08way down to sink in.
00:40:10Number 36, Alonzo
00:40:11Harris, Training Day
00:40:13Alonzo Harris is
00:40:14convinced that he's
00:40:14above the law, and
00:40:16he kind of is.
00:40:17To protect the sheep,
00:40:19you gotta catch the
00:40:20wolf, and it takes a
00:40:21wolf to catch a wolf,
00:40:22you understand?
00:40:23This LAPD detective
00:40:24spends most of the
00:40:25movie getting away
00:40:25with literal murder.
00:40:27You can add attempted
00:40:28murder to his laundry
00:40:29list of crimes as
00:40:30rookie officer Jake
00:40:31Hoyt survives the
00:40:32hell Alonzo puts
00:40:33him through.
00:40:34Alonzo still believes
00:40:35that he can force the
00:40:35neighborhood to carry
00:40:36out his dirty work.
00:40:37Instead, they stand
00:40:38by Jake, letting him
00:40:40leave with the
00:40:40evidence that'll bury
00:40:41Alonzo.
00:40:42With no money,
00:40:43minions, or even a
00:40:44badge left, Alonzo
00:40:45flees like the
00:40:46criminal he is.
00:40:47King Kong ain't got
00:40:49shit on me!
00:40:51He doesn't get far,
00:40:52as the Russian mafia
00:40:53is waiting for him.
00:40:54Alonzo might have
00:40:55placed himself above
00:40:56King Kong, but both
00:40:57meet their end amid
00:40:58a fleet of bullets.
00:41:00Number 35, Warden
00:41:01Samuel Norton, The
00:41:03Shawshank Redemption.
00:41:04Some people are beyond
00:41:05redemption.
00:41:06Despite claiming to be
00:41:06a man of God, Warden
00:41:07Norton has committed more
00:41:09unforgivable sins than
00:41:11some of the men in his
00:41:12prison.
00:41:12I believe in two
00:41:13things, discipline and
00:41:16the Bible.
00:41:17Here you'll receive
00:41:18both.
00:41:20Put your trust in the
00:41:21Lord.
00:41:23Your ass belongs to me.
00:41:27Welcome to Shawshank.
00:41:28One of those inmates,
00:41:29Andy Dufresne, brings
00:41:31about the Crooked
00:41:31Warden's downfall.
00:41:33Upon escaping, Andy
00:41:34exposes Norton's numerous
00:41:35crimes to the public.
00:41:36With his dirty laundry
00:41:37hanging out to dry, it's
00:41:38all but guaranteed that
00:41:40Norton will go from
00:41:41incarcerator to
00:41:42incarcerated.
00:41:43Norton chooses an
00:41:44alternative the church has
00:41:45taken a firm stance
00:41:46against, showing that he
00:41:47never practiced what he
00:41:48preached.
00:41:50Norton had no intention
00:41:51of going that quietly.
00:41:52Norton avoids spending
00:41:53the rest of his life in a
00:41:54cell, but we're sure
00:41:55whatever awaits him on
00:41:56the other side is even
00:41:58more hellish.
00:41:59Number 34, Arjun
00:42:00Rudd, Lethal Weapon 2.
00:42:02When we think of movie
00:42:03villains with diplomatic
00:42:04community, Arjun Rudd
00:42:06immediately comes to mind.
00:42:07A criminal parading as a
00:42:09South African diplomat,
00:42:10Rudd waves his political
00:42:11powers around like a
00:42:12get-out-of-jail-free card.
00:42:14We do have a serious
00:42:15diplomatic situation here,
00:42:18which I will be taking up
00:42:19with your State Department
00:42:20first thing in the morning.
00:42:21Well, you got me quaking
00:42:22in my boots, but I'm still
00:42:23going to bring you down.
00:42:25My dear officer,
00:42:27you could not even give me
00:42:30a barking ticket.
00:42:31Sergeants Martin Riggs
00:42:32and Roger Murtagh aren't
00:42:34known for operating within
00:42:35boundaries, however.
00:42:36Their investigation eventually
00:42:37takes them to the docks,
00:42:39where Riggs drops a load
00:42:40on Rudd's enforcer,
00:42:41Peter Vorstead.
00:42:43Just when you thought that
00:42:44would be the coolest death
00:42:45in the movie,
00:42:46Rudd rears his ugly head
00:42:47again, treating his
00:42:48diplomatic immunity as if it
00:42:50were a bulletproof vest.
00:42:51A vest won't protect you
00:42:52if the shooter aims for the
00:42:54head, which Murtagh does.
00:42:56It's just been revoked.
00:42:58Can we get an applause-worthy
00:43:00one-liner to go with that?
00:43:01Number 33, Captain Harrison
00:43:03Love, The Mask of Zorro.
00:43:05Love may be his name,
00:43:06but only cruelty can be
00:43:08found in this captain's
00:43:09heart.
00:43:09This character is somewhat
00:43:10grounded in history.
00:43:11I want you to know,
00:43:13I consider this an honor.
00:43:16There was a Captain Love
00:43:17who was said to be
00:43:17responsible for the death
00:43:19of legendary outlaw
00:43:20Joaquin Murrieta,
00:43:21supposedly keeping his head
00:43:23in a jar.
00:43:23The movie veers into fiction
00:43:25with the creation of
00:43:25Joaquin's brother Alejandro,
00:43:27who seeks revenge as
00:43:28the new Zorro.
00:43:29As the former Zorro
00:43:30battles his rival,
00:43:32Governor Montero,
00:43:33Alejandro puts his sword
00:43:34through the captain.
00:43:35While Love's fate is sealed,
00:43:36Alejandro's face isn't
00:43:37the last thing he sees.
00:43:39The two duels intersect
00:43:40as De La Vega sends
00:43:41Montero overboard,
00:43:42with a wagon of riches
00:43:43and love bleeding out below.
00:43:49Now that's what we call
00:43:51a gold rush.
00:43:52Number 32, Stavros, Double Team.
00:43:55Mickey Rourke plays a terrorist
00:43:56in a buddy picture starring
00:43:58Jean-Claude Van Damme
00:43:59and Dennis Rodman.
00:44:00Were you expecting
00:44:00a subtle end?
00:44:02If you live today,
00:44:03you'll get to know your son.
00:44:08And if you don't,
00:44:11raise him his mouth.
00:44:12Although we sympathize
00:44:13with the fact that Stavros
00:44:14lost his young son,
00:44:15holding a pregnant woman hostage
00:44:16doesn't right a wrong.
00:44:18Stavros takes the baby
00:44:19to a Roman amphitheater
00:44:20rigged with landmines.
00:44:22And a tiger.
00:44:23Squaring off with Van Damme,
00:44:24Stavros fails to watch his step.
00:44:26As his grin disappears,
00:44:27Stavros puts on a look
00:44:29that says,
00:44:29Oh, I am so screwed.
00:44:32Even then,
00:44:32Stavros doesn't realize
00:44:33just how screwed he is
00:44:34until the tiger returns.
00:44:36With no good options,
00:44:37a whimpering Stavros
00:44:38and the cat go boom.
00:44:43As for the heroes,
00:44:44they're spared from the explosion,
00:44:46thanks to the greatest
00:44:47product placement ever.
00:44:49Number 31, Calvin Candy.
00:44:51Django Unchained.
00:44:52Even when he plays criminals,
00:44:53we usually find ourselves
00:44:55rooting for Leonardo DiCaprio's characters.
00:44:57This isn't the case
00:44:58with Calvin Candy,
00:44:59the most detestable excuse
00:45:00for a human being
00:45:02DiCaprio has ever
00:45:03sunk his teeth into.
00:45:04Gentlemen,
00:45:06you had my curiosity,
00:45:08but now you have my attention.
00:45:10This barbaric plantation owner
00:45:11is ready to kill Django's wife
00:45:13at the dinner table.
00:45:14Being a businessman,
00:45:15Candy presents Django
00:45:16and Dr. Schultz with a deal
00:45:17in exchange for Brimhilde's freedom.
00:45:19Schultz is willing
00:45:20to empty his wallet,
00:45:21but he draws the line
00:45:22as shaking Candy's hand.
00:45:24Some viewers may take issue
00:45:26with Schultz essentially signing
00:45:27his own death certificate
00:45:28upon shooting Calvin.
00:45:30You really want me
00:45:31to shake your hand?
00:45:34I insist.
00:45:37If you insist.
00:45:40Much like a bowl of candy though,
00:45:42we can see why this is so hard
00:45:44for him to resist.
00:45:45Payback was simply too sweet.
00:45:47Number 30.
00:45:48Igor Korshanov.
00:45:50Air Force One.
00:45:51One of the greatest undoings
00:45:52of movie villains is hubris,
00:45:54as is the case of Igor Korshanov,
00:45:57who hijacks the president's plane
00:45:58in this thriller.
00:45:59Korshanov boasts about
00:46:01his pending escape via parachute.
00:46:03I'm going to parachute.
00:46:08Whatever happens,
00:46:11you lose,
00:46:13and I win.
00:46:14However,
00:46:15his need for theatrics
00:46:16takes up valuable time,
00:46:18allowing the commander-in-chief
00:46:19to tackle and restrain him
00:46:20before deploying his parachute
00:46:22prematurely.
00:46:23He then delivers a
00:46:24literally killer send-off line
00:46:26in a way only Harrison Ford can.
00:46:28Get off my plane.
00:46:30Number 29.
00:46:31Caster Troy.
00:46:32Face Off.
00:46:33This thriller from action auteur,
00:46:35John Woo,
00:46:36makes the most of a
00:46:37can't-miss premise,
00:46:38with John Travolta
00:46:39playing Sean Archer,
00:46:40who switches bodies and identities
00:46:42with terrorist Caster Troy,
00:46:44played by Nicolas Cage.
00:46:46It's like looking in a mirror,
00:46:47only not.
00:46:49Towards the end,
00:46:50Archer is receiving a merciless assault
00:46:52from Troy
00:46:52when he notices a spear gun.
00:46:55Not giving up easily,
00:46:56Troy tries to wrangle it from him
00:46:58and carves up his borrowed mug.
00:47:00You're right, Sean.
00:47:01I've misbehaved.
00:47:04I need to be punished.
00:47:05This is more than enough
00:47:06motivation for Archer
00:47:07to pull the trigger
00:47:08and shut Troy up
00:47:10once and for all.
00:47:11This scene,
00:47:11as well as much of the rest
00:47:12of the movie,
00:47:13would not work the same
00:47:14without its stars
00:47:15acting like
00:47:16and playing off each other.
00:47:18Number 28.
00:47:19Brad Wesley.
00:47:20Roadhouse.
00:47:21Speaking of spears,
00:47:22here's another.
00:47:23Now come on out, Dalton.
00:47:24This town is big enough
00:47:28for both of us?
00:47:30Let's talk about this.
00:47:32In the climax of this classic
00:47:33of late 80s machismo,
00:47:35the power-mad Brad Wesley,
00:47:37played by Ben Gazzara,
00:47:38unsuccessfully throws one
00:47:40at Patrick Swayze's
00:47:41heroic bouncer,
00:47:42James Dalton,
00:47:43before trying to kill him
00:47:44with another.
00:47:45But while Dalton is obviously
00:47:46physically stronger than Wesley,
00:47:48this scene also demonstrates
00:47:50his emotional strength,
00:47:51as he doesn't deliver
00:47:52what would surely be
00:47:53a brutal final blow.
00:47:55For a moment,
00:47:56Wesley thinks he has
00:47:57the upper hand.
00:47:58No!
00:48:01It's over!
00:48:01But the townspeople
00:48:02he's tormented all these years
00:48:04aren't nearly as merciful.
00:48:06The sound of the coffee table
00:48:07glass shattering
00:48:08is still music to our ears.
00:48:12Number 27.
00:48:14Wretch.
00:48:14Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
00:48:16There have been
00:48:17so many memorable villains
00:48:18in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
00:48:20over the years
00:48:21that it's perfectly understandable
00:48:22if this name isn't ringing a bell.
00:48:24The bell's all worth
00:48:25off each track!
00:48:27Wretch,
00:48:27played by Evan Jones,
00:48:29isn't anywhere close
00:48:30to being the primary antagonist
00:48:31of the second
00:48:32Guardians of the Galaxy movie.
00:48:34And while joining
00:48:35Taserface's mutiny
00:48:36against Yondu
00:48:37was certainly a lot,
00:48:38what really ensured
00:48:39our hatred of him
00:48:40was his torment
00:48:41of baby Groot.
00:48:42You!
00:48:43You!
00:48:44You!
00:48:44You!
00:48:44You!
00:48:45You!
00:48:45You!
00:48:45You!
00:48:45You!
00:48:46You!
00:48:46You!
00:48:46You!
00:48:46You!
00:48:46You!
00:48:46You!
00:48:46You!
00:48:46You!
00:48:46You!
00:48:46You!
00:48:46You!
00:48:46You!

00:48:56You!
00:48:56You!
00:48:56You!
00:48:57You!
00:48:57The key word here
00:48:57being attempts
00:49:00as Groot ensnares him
00:49:02and sends him over the catwalk.
00:49:03It's a swift,
00:49:03brutal and incredibly satisfying demise.
00:49:06Number 26.
00:49:08Colonel Tavington,
00:49:09the Patriot.
00:49:10Though it's set during the
00:49:11American Revolutionary War,
00:49:12Roland Emmerich's epic action drama
00:49:14shouldn't be used as aer
00:49:16historical reference.
00:49:17One of the most common��icisms
00:49:18levelled against it was its over-the-top depiction of the British Army.
00:49:22You know, it's an ugly business doing one's duty, but just occasionally, it's a real pleasure.
00:49:30Inaccuracies aside, Jason Isaac's Colonel William Tavington is one truly nasty villain,
00:49:36and this death was definitely deserved. During a battle, Tavington squares off against Colonel
00:49:42Benjamin Martin, seeking revenge for the death of his son.
00:49:45Kill me before the war is over, will you?
00:49:48It appears you are not the better man.
00:49:54As it often goes, right as it seems like all hope is lost, Tavington gets his.
00:49:59You're right. My sons were better men.
00:50:06Of course, it wouldn't be nearly as satisfying if Isaacs wasn't so adept at depicting such a remorseless character.
00:50:14Number 25. Yosef Teresov, John Wick
00:50:17So many bullets have been fired and bodies have been dropped over the course of four John Wick movies that it can be easy to forget that it all started because the titular hitman sought revenge for the death of his beagle, Daisy.
00:50:28In that moment I received some semblance of hope, an opportunity to grieve unalone, and your son took that from me.
00:50:43The party responsible is Yosef Teresov, the impulsive and cold-hearted son of a Russian mob boss, played by Alfie Allen. Wick comes out of retirement and pulls out all the stops to track down Yosef, and even his own father knows his fate is sealed.
00:50:59Make the arrangements.
00:51:00Yosef tries to downplay the weight of his action, but Wick literally won't let him get the last word in.
00:51:06Number 24. Felix and Zee, You're Next
00:51:11If you're in the mood for a slasher that has more going for it than just blood splatter, we highly recommend You're Next.
00:51:18A family is terrorised by a masked clan, only for it to be revealed that two of the members orchestrated it in a twisted inheritance scheme.
00:51:26You two better be getting enough money to pay us. Would I be doing this if I wasn't?
00:51:33They might have gotten away with it, if not for the resolve of Erin, played by Sharni Vinson, who's accompanied her boyfriend, Crispian, on this family reunion gone wrong.
00:51:43His brother Felix and his partner Zee try to pick her off, but she has the power of kitchen equipment, specifically a knife and a blender on her side.
00:51:52We also can't forget the punishment she inflicts upon Crispian, upon learning of his involvement.
00:51:59Where's Felix?
00:52:01I stuck a blender in his head and killed him.
00:52:06Oh.
00:52:08Okay.
00:52:09Number 23. Bill, Kill Bill, Volume 2
00:52:12It's pretty simple. If you have two movies called Kill Bill, Bill had better be killed by the end of the second one.
00:52:18You overreacted? Is that your explanation?
00:52:21No, I didn't say I was going to explain myself.
00:52:24While David Carradine's gravitas and Quentin Tarantino's writing does make Bill more sympathetic than he might seem on paper,
00:52:31we can't forget about all the pain he's inflicted upon Beatrix.
00:52:34When the two finally have their long-anticipated showdown, it's fairly short on action,
00:52:39as Bill accepts his fate just as quickly as Beatrix delivers it.
00:52:43That might be disappointing for those hoping for an ultra-violent death scene,
00:52:52a la other Tarantino antagonists,
00:52:55but the more we revisit this finale, the more we appreciate it.
00:52:59Number 22. Captain Vidal, Pan's Labyrinth
00:53:02Though director Guillermo del Toro's films are full of fantastical monsters,
00:53:06arguably none of them are as frightening as Captain Vidal,
00:53:09the psychopathic officer and stepfather to young Ophelia.
00:53:13I'm here because I want my son to be born in a clean and new España.
00:53:18Because this person is part of a wrong idea.
00:53:20Played by Sergi Lopez, Vidal is the perfect encapsulation of someone who will stop at nothing
00:53:27to eliminate opponents of the phalangism cause, as well as anyone perceived as such, including a child.
00:53:33Vidal soon finds himself surrounded by rebels and tries a last-ditch effort at a noble death.
00:53:39But Mercedes and her brother Pedro refuse to give Vidal, or his name, any kind of legacy.
00:53:45Tell me to my son.
00:53:50Tell him what time his father died.
00:53:56Tell him what time I died.
00:53:57No, he doesn't even know your name.
00:54:00Though much of Pan's Labyrinth is grim and bleak,
00:54:02moments like this remind us that evil can only persist for so long.
00:54:07Number 21. Howard Payne, Speed
00:54:10The premise of this 90s action thriller, about a runaway bus that can't go under 50 miles per hour,
00:54:15is so good that it would be impossible to completely screw up.
00:54:19But it also wouldn't be the same without the talents of Dennis Hopper.
00:54:22You're crazy.
00:54:23You're f***ing crazy.
00:54:25Oh, no.
00:54:27Poor people are crazy, Jack.
00:54:29I'm eccentric.
00:54:31As bomb squad officer, turned terrorist, Howard Payne,
00:54:35Hopper is teeming with absolute deranged fury.
00:54:38Up to, and including, in his death scene.
00:54:41Grappling with Keanu Reeves officer Jack Traven atop a speeding subway car,
00:54:45Payne brags about his superior intelligence.
00:54:48I'm the guy with the plan, because I'm smart at you.
00:54:51I'm smart at you.
00:54:54But if he was really as smart as he claims to be,
00:54:56he would know things like when to duck.
00:54:59It's just too bad he wasn't around to hear Traven's perfect retort.
00:55:02Yeah?
00:55:05Well, I'm taller.
00:55:07Number 20. Mola Ram, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
00:55:11While we love a face-melting demise as much as the next person,
00:55:15that iconic scene was more terrifying than satisfying.
00:55:19Mola Ram, on the other hand, is a single, despicable person
00:55:22whose defeat we keenly anticipated from the moment he appeared and attacked a person's heart.
00:55:28Mola Ram confronts Indiana Jones on a precarious rope bridge,
00:55:45while looking to obtain the mystical Shankara stones he so desperately craves.
00:55:49In a surprise move, however, Indy cuts the rope bridge.
00:55:52Mola Ram, prepare to meet Khalid, in hell.
00:56:00Oh, put that away!
00:56:02You boys!
00:56:03No!
00:56:05No!
00:56:07No!
00:56:08Jones and Ram struggle for the stones as they hang from the bridge,
00:56:12but Ram's greed to catch a burning hot one spells his undoing.
00:56:16He promptly falls to his doom and gets up close and personal with a few crocodiles.
00:56:21Struck her to me!
00:56:23Struck her to me!
00:56:34Number 19, Sebastian Shaw, X-Men First Class
00:56:38Klaus Schmidt once asked Eric to move a coin with his powers.
00:56:42When Eric failed, Schmidt took his mother's life.
00:56:45This fostered a burning rivalry between the two.
00:56:48Listen to me very carefully, my friend.
00:56:51Killing Shaw will not bring you peace.
00:56:57Peace was never an option.
00:57:00After Schmidt changed his name to Sebastian Shaw, he finally confronted Eric.
00:57:05During an opening in the battle, telepath that Charles Xavier freezes Shaw in place.
00:57:09It's here where we see an antagonist fall and a villain rise.
00:57:13Eric uses a coin to finally dispatch his old foe.
00:57:17While there are more despicable villains than Shaw, few meet their ends in such a thematically appropriate fashion.
00:57:31Number 18, Alma Coyne, The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2.
00:57:36Speaking of coins, this duplicitous leader of the Second Rebellion made us actually appreciate the dastardly President Snow for his forthrightness.
00:57:57Alma Coyne was the president of the ostensibly eradicated District 13.
00:58:03She drummed up a propaganda campaign against the capital, with Katniss Everdeen as their figurehead, or figuratively, their Mockingjay.
00:58:11Though her cause was just, Coyne secretly made ruthless plans in order to usurp the enemy.
00:58:17She even let innocents like Katniss' sister, Prim, perish to achieve her goals.
00:58:22After realising coin will just become another snow after the war, Katniss aims an arrow and puts coin down.
00:58:39The Mockingjay ended a cycle of tyranny and taught everyone the price of messing with her sister.
00:58:45Number 17, Henry Rhodes, Day of the Dead.
00:58:49When you're the leader of an underground military compound, you'd better show respect for your subordinates,
00:58:55even if one of them is a zombie with above average intelligence.
00:59:10Upon finding himself in charge, Captain Rhodes slowly starts to lose his mind,
00:59:15he becomes quick to dispatch any dissenters without a second thought.
00:59:19When the base becomes overrun with zombies, Rhodes puts his self-preservation above all else.
00:59:25But Karma returns to haunt him in the form of Bud, a zombie in the scientists' domestication program with a bone to pick.
00:59:32After the undead man shoots Rhodes, the panicked captain picks the wrong door.
00:59:37No, no, no, no!
00:59:42Bud's militaristic salute to Rhodes as zombies descend upon the captain is the icing on the cake of this perfect send-off.
00:59:51Number 16, August Walker slash John Lark.
00:59:54Impossible, Fallout.
00:59:56Though Owen Davian from MI3 is the more despicable villain, his end isn't quite as sweet as August Walker's.
01:00:04Sporting a luscious mustache, Walker is initially Ethan's anti-hero ally that we really got behind.
01:00:17But when he's revealed to be nuclear arms buyer John Lark, with intentions for global catastrophe,
01:00:23we realize what a formidable and dangerous foe he really is.
01:00:27The only real threats are in this room, and we have them.
01:00:29Ethan Hunt and the team track him to India.
01:00:42After a thrilling helicopter chase, Ethan and Walker battle on a cliffside.
01:00:46With both hanging from the edge, Ethan yanks the cable one of the helicopters is dangling from,
01:00:51and sends it in Walker's direction.
01:01:02The mustachioed villain falls right before the MIF averts yet another disaster.
01:01:08Number 15, Colin Sullivan, The Departed.
01:01:11We don't usually root against a Matt Damon character.
01:01:14However, he's just so hateable in The Departed.
01:01:18What was his name? The Departed.
01:01:20He plays Colin Sullivan, a mole in the Massachusetts State Police,
01:01:24that's even disloyal to the criminals he's supposed to protect.
01:01:28Upon learning mob boss Frank Costello is an FBI informant,
01:01:32Sullivan aids the police and takes out Costello.
01:01:35Billy Costigan, the police mole in the mob, nearly apprehends Sullivan sometime later.
01:01:41But a lucky break results in Costigan biting the bullet before justice is served.
01:01:46We shuddered at the thought that Sullivan might walk away unscathed.
01:01:49But the last scene shows Sean Dignam coming to the rescue by surprising Sullivan in his home
01:01:55and ending the Crooked Man's life.
01:02:02Okay.
01:02:04Number 14, Stuntman Mike, Death Proof.
01:02:07Quentin Tarantino has a lot of despicable characters in his movies.
01:02:11Fortunately, he's a master of gleefully taking the villains down before the credits roll.
01:02:16One character whose end we sorely anticipated was Stuntman Mike.
01:02:21This car is 100% death proof.
01:02:24Only to get the benefit of it, honey, you really need to be sitting in my seat.
01:02:30Driving a ride that's virtually death proof, provided he's in the driver's seat,
01:02:34Mike got used to using it as a dangerous weapon against women on roadways.
01:02:39When he sees a woman performing a risky stunt on the hood of a car, he can't help himself.
01:02:44He torments them for what seems like hours. Thankfully, the girls are able to avoid wrecking.
01:02:49They eventually turn the tables and give him a taste of vigilante justice.
01:02:53Huh. Guess Mike himself wasn't death proof.
01:03:02Number 13, Mrs. Carmody, The Mist.
01:03:05Mrs. Carmody used everyone's fear of a supernatural mist to craft a violent cult.
01:03:11What will end it? Let me hear it.
01:03:23We get it. A mist that envelops the town and unleashes a host of otherworldly monsters is scary stuff,
01:03:29but you'd hope cooler heads would prevail. Not so, as Mrs. Carmody is slowly able to amass followers
01:03:35and preach that the only way to get out of this situation is for certain people to give up their lives.
01:03:51While our band of heroes looks to sneak away from the supermarket, Mrs. Carmody incites the crowd
01:03:57and turns her attention to a vulnerable survivor. Out of options, store manager,
01:04:01Ollie, decides to permanently silence her.
01:04:09Trust us, we're not crying over this spilled milk.
01:04:12Number 12, Carlo Rizzi, The Godfather.
01:04:18Hello, Carlo.
01:04:19The extended opening sequence of The Godfather details the goings-on at a wedding as Carlo Rizzi
01:04:25marries into the Corleone crime family. However happy the occasion is,
01:04:29the marriage itself is anything but. Miffed being looked over in the family, Carlo mistreats his new
01:04:34wife, Connie. In retaliation, Connie's brother, Sonny, beats him to a pulp.
01:04:49Unable to relent, Carlo colludes with a rival family to orchestrate Sonny's brutal assassination.
01:04:55Michael Corleone has his suspicions about his siblings' demise.
01:04:58When he assumes control of the family following his father's passing,
01:05:02he tricks Carlo into basically admitting his involvement before having him taken out.
01:05:15It was cold, but well-deserved.
01:05:17Number 11, Dick Jones, Robocop.
01:05:20There are plenty of gruesome and over-the-top fatalities in this Paul Verhoeven classic,
01:05:25but the most cathartic demise belongs to OCP Senior Vice President Dick Jones.
01:05:30To combat the rampant crime plague in Detroit, Jones tries to issue the ED-209 droid for police use.
01:05:37When the demonstration fails drastically, Robocop rises in its place.
01:05:42Undeterred, Jones continues his plans to control both the city's police and criminal empire.
01:05:47He even goes so far as to install a directive in Robocop,
01:05:50preventing him from acting against an OCP executive.
01:05:54What did you think?
01:05:57That you were an ordinary police officer?
01:06:00You're our product.
01:06:02And we can't very well have our products turning against us, can we?
01:06:07This initially keeps Robocop from harming Jones in the final scene,
01:06:11but after Jones' superior promptly fires him, Robocop is free to deal out justice.
01:06:20Number 10, Margaret White, Carrie.
01:06:23Before Mrs. Carmody in The Mist, there was no more detestable horror movie villain linked to religion
01:06:28than Margaret White. Though not quite as extreme as Mrs. Carmody,
01:06:32Margaret is first seen punishing her daughter Carrie just for having her first period.
01:06:37You're a woman now.
01:06:40Why didn't you tell me, mama?
01:06:45Unfortunately for Carrie, her burgeoning telekinesis
01:06:49only furthers Margaret's belief that she's a witch and ought to be eradicated.
01:06:54After Carrie returns from her horrific prom,
01:06:56Margaret attacks Carrie while pretending to comfort her.
01:06:59Whether consciously or purely by instinct,
01:07:02Carrie uses her powers to bring Margaret's reign of terror to an end.
01:07:07Number 9, Cypher, The Matrix.
01:07:16I know what you're thinking, because right now I'm thinking the same thing.
01:07:20Actually, I've been thinking it ever since I got here.
01:07:26Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill?
01:07:29While we can sympathise with Cypher preferring the safe confines of The Matrix to the ravaged and
01:07:34bleak real world, there's no justification for what he did.
01:07:37This member of the human resistance makes a deal with the machines,
01:07:40that he'll be put back into The Matrix in exchange for the leader, Morpheus.
01:07:45As if that wasn't bad enough, Cypher unplugs back into the real world,
01:07:49and assassinates multiple allies while they're plugged in, and essentially defenseless.
01:07:54Trinity.
01:07:57No!
01:08:01Welcome to the real world, huh baby?
01:08:03Before he can do the same to Neo, Tank reveals himself to still be alive.
01:08:07He ultimately gets vengeance on Cypher in glorious fashion.
01:08:15In a story where Neo is a Christ-like figure, Cypher was definitely the Judas.
01:08:20Number 8. Annie Wilkes. Misery.
01:08:24No! Not my misery!
01:08:29Like both Mrs. Carmody and Margaret White before her, Annie Wilkes continues Stephen King's legacy
01:08:35of writing captivatingly horrendous villainesses. The unbalanced Annie Wilkes holds her favourite
01:08:41author, Paul Sheldon, captive under the guise of nursing him back to health. All the while,
01:08:45she forces him to write his premiere character back to life. If he doesn't, he'll face horrible
01:08:51repercussions.
01:08:51Annie in 1871, women often died in childbirth. But a spirit is the important thing, and a
01:08:58misery spirit is still alive.
01:08:59I don't want her spirit! I want her! I feel bad at her!
01:09:05After several unsuccessful attempts to flee, Paul is forced to scrap with Annie in order to survive.
01:09:11Although she initially seems to meet her end after a collision with a typewriter,
01:09:15Paul ultimately puts an end to her story with his own hands.
01:09:29Number 7. Emperor Palpatine. Star Wars Episode VI Return of the Jedi.
01:09:34Is there a movie villain more classically evil than Emperor Palpatine? He already deserved a terrible
01:09:40fate for luring Anakin Skywalker to the dark side. But not satisfied with ruining one Skywalker,
01:09:46Palpatine tries to tempt Luke to strike down Darth Vader and become evil too. Although an intense
01:09:52lightsaber duel does take place, Luke ultimately refuses to take his father's life. Palpatine rewards
01:09:58this restraint by hitting Luke with force lightning. If you will not be turned, you will be destroyed.
01:10:07In a classic moment, Vader's familial love brings him back to the light, and he decides to defy his
01:10:14master. He sacrifices himself to take Palpatine down.
01:10:27Though the Rise of Skywalker would later play around with the details of the Emperor's End, his demise in
01:10:33Return of the Jedi is still satisfying. Number 6. Bellatrix Lestrange. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.
01:10:41Death Eater, Bellatrix Lestrange, became one of the most hated characters in the wizarding world after
01:10:47she took the life of Harry Potter's godfather, Sirius. Come on, Decedabra!
01:11:06Her comeuppance finally came during the climactic Battle of Hogwarts. Bellatrix
01:11:10attempts to take the life of Ginny Weasley in the Great Hall. This prompts Molly Weasley to step in
01:11:16with an epic line and defend her daughter. Not my daughter, you bitch!
01:11:23While their duel is quick, it's thrilling. Molly's able to stun Bellatrix before obliterating her
01:11:29completely. What's really satisfying about Bellatrix's defeat is the fact that it comes at the hands of
01:11:44Molly Weasley, who normally doesn't get to show off how fierce she is on the battlefield.
01:11:49Number 5. Immortan Joe. Mad Max Fury Road. Immortan Joe was the self-imposed leader of the post-apocalyptic
01:11:56city known as the Citadel. The cruel leader ruled with an iron fist. Not only did he hoard the only
01:12:02known water source over its citizens, but he neglected to care about what several of his wives
01:12:07actually wanted. And he's so possessive that he flies into a frenzy when Lieutenant Imperator Furiosa
01:12:14flees with his spouses. Where is she taking them? She didn't take them, they begged her to go!
01:12:22Where is she taking them? A long way from you!
01:12:26For the majority of the movie, Joe's forces chase his wives down. On the ride back to the Citadel,
01:12:31Furiosa finally confronts him on the side of his rig. She makes sure that Immortan Joe
01:12:36will never have the opportunity to mistreat one of his wives again.
01:12:42Remember me?
01:12:45Number 4. The Armitage family. Get out. On the outset, the Armitage family seems like your average
01:12:51upper-class family that tries way too hard to show their accepting of everyone. But it's clear
01:12:56there's something much more sinister going on under the surface.
01:13:00Now... sink into the floor. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:13:13As Chris comes to learn, the Armitages have made a business of abducting people and stealing their
01:13:19bodies by implanting the mind of the highest bidder. Before this can happen to Chris, he fights back.
01:13:30Dean Armitage, his wife Missy, and their eldest son Jeremy all receive brutal but just ends.
01:13:42Once Chris takes the three of them down, he's confronted by his girlfriend, Rose. But after a
01:13:47brainwashed groundskeeper is temporarily freed, he puts an end to this horrendous family.
01:13:54Let me do it.
01:14:00Number 3. Hans Gruber. Die Hard.
01:14:10We love to hate this villain so much. It almost circles back to just love.
01:14:15This is partially because Hans Gruber took out Harry Ellis, a character we just plain hated.
01:14:21John, how can you say that after all these years, huh?
01:14:24John.
01:14:27John.
01:14:30But that obnoxious man's demise isn't the most glorious one in the film. Gruber is a supposed
01:14:42extremist who casually hurts people but is really nothing more than an extremely brutal thief.
01:14:47He eventually gets more than he bargained for when everyman cop John McClane arrives to save his wife
01:14:53Holly. Happy trails, Hans.
01:14:57The conflict between the cop and thief comes to a head when Gruber is left hanging out the window by
01:15:02Holly's wrist. Fortunately, McClane unclasps Holly's wristwatch and sends Gruber to his doom. Happy trails
01:15:09indeed, Hans.
01:15:14Well, I hope that's not a hostage.
01:15:19Number 2. Count Tyrone Rugen. The Princess Bride.
01:15:23Few characters have focused more on taking out their enemies than Inigo Montoya has. He's spent years
01:15:28thinking about getting revenge on the man who slayed his father.
01:15:32I will go up to the Six-Fingered Man and say,
01:15:36Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
01:15:45Inigo eventually learns that the vicious Count Rugen was responsible. While he's helping with a rescue
01:15:51mission in a castle, he and the Count finally meet. During their long awaited duel, Inigo repeats his
01:15:57promise to get revenge on the Count. For a moment, it seems like it won't happen at all. But Inigo's
01:16:11sheer tenacity and will ensures that he finally gets closure and avenges his father by slaying the Count.
01:16:18Offer me everything I ask for. Anything you want.

01:16:461. Commodus, Gladiator
01:16:50Only a famous death will do.
01:16:54What could be more glorious than to challenge the Emperor himself in the great arena?
01:17:01There is hardly a greater tale of revenge than that of Maximus Decimus Meridius against Commodus.
01:17:07After Commodus usurps his father as Emperor of Rome, he asks General Maximus to swear allegiance. But
01:17:13the warrior refuses. A slighted Commodus takes the lives of Maximus's wife and son.
01:17:18After Maximus escapes his own grim fate, he swears vengeance against the Emperor.
01:17:23Father to a murdered son. Husband to a murdered wife.
01:17:28And I will have my vengeance. In this life or the next.
01:17:34He rose through the ranks of the gladiatorial arena and slowly gained favour with the people of Rome.
01:17:39Desperate to see his enemy fall, Commodus wounds Maximus before the two compete in gladiatorial combat.
01:17:45But Maximus manages to overcome his fatal wounds and slay Commodus before finding peace.
01:17:50Did we forget another awful character that received an effective send-off?
