The most gratuitous "I am evil" scenes...

[Avouz]

I can't believe I forgot to mention that one in my first post. Yeah, Jason Isaac's British Colonel in The Patriot had more "I am evil!!!" scenes than I could count. All he was missing was a long moustache he could twirl sinisterly.

This was what I thought off the instant I saw the thread topic. Jason Isaac's character was so over the top it actually ruined the film for me. Just goes to show there is too much of a "bad" thing.

Seems like this thread needs a link to the Evil Overlord List.

32. I will not fly into a rage and kill a messenger who brings me bad news just to illustrate how evil I really am. Good messengers are hard to come by.

In the book The Stone and The Maiden (which everyone should avoid) the evil princess who stole the throne from her nice sister would regularly have kinky sex while bathing in animal blood. Just because that's what evil sister's do.

Ma Gnucci from The Punisher: Welcome Back Frank: "Lick my scabs."

Well, in real life, the Countess Elizabeth Bathory would regualrly bathe in the blood of virgins to keep her young. So I'd bet that this excess of evil is based on that real world incident. No kinky sex though.

Demiurge out.

How about the Kurgan from Highlander?

The first time we see him, he rides into battle wearing evil-looking armor complete with a skull helmet, so we know right away that he's a bad guy. Later, we get to see him kill Connor's friend and mentor, drive around with an old lady on the hood of his car, and meet with Connor in the chapel of a Catholic church to brag about how he raped Connor's wife after killing Ramirez.

Yep, the Kurgan is one evil bastard.

Later, we get to see him...brag about how he raped Connor's wife after killing Ramirez.

Ugh. You just reminded me of the scene in Rob Roy where Tim Roth rapes Jessica Lange. One of the most despicable characters ever.

I loved that character! "I am a (rooster) that crows on the dunghill that is life" (IIRC).

As I recall his name was Archibald Cunningham. One of my favorite movie villains ever; I saw Rob Roy in the base theater at Kunsan Air Force Base in South Korea, and the audience actually did a standing ovation when he met his fate. Only time I've EVER seen that at a movie theater.

Its been a few years since I've seen it, but I seem to remember Gary Oldman having a number of such scenes in Leon ("The Professional"). Didn't he shoot Natalie Pormtan's four year old brother?

Yes and he ruined any diet he might have been on with a lot of scenery chewing "Bring ME EVERYONE"

I always thoough his chewing the amphetamines scene was gratuitous myself
