Heroes are for losers. Everyone knows the best part of the movie is the villain. Generally, a villain can go in one of two directions: the secretly endearing, pathetically goofy route, or the pure evil route. Buy why not both? It takes courage to be both dorky and evil. These villains all manage it.
5) Dr. Evil - Austin Powers
Dorky by nature, evil by training. But he’s a quick learner.
ICONICALLY DORKY LINE: “We hold the world ransom for…ONE MILLION DOLLARS!”
ICONICALLY EVIL LINE: “We hold the world ransom for…one…hundred…BILLION DOLLARS!”
4) Ghostface Stu – Scream
One-half of the killer bastards, the ever-annoying Matthew Lillard sometimes strikes just the right note here. Only good performance of his career.
ICONICALLY DORKY LINE: “My mom and dad are gonna be so mad at me!”
ICONICALLY EVIL LINE: “I always had a thing for ya, Sid!”
3) Owen Davian – Mission: Impossible: III
The Pillsbury Doughboy is spot on with the indifferent sociopath.
ICONICALLY DORKY LINE: “Do you think I’m playing? You don’t think I’ll do it?”
ICONICALLY EVIL LINE: “We put an explosive charge in your head…does that sound familiar?”
2) Jackie Boy – Sin City
Crooked, sleazy cop; in a movie full of terrible shit, he has the worst day of anybody. But despite being overmatched at every turn, never loses his swagger or bats an eye.
ICONICALLY DORKY LINE: “I’ve had me one hell of a bad day…I’ve been beat up every time I turn around.”
ICONICALLY EVIL LINE: “You’re gonna love this, baby.”
1) Khan – Star Trek: II
The two greatest over-actors of all time collide: William Shatner and Ricardo Montelban. What’s not to like?
ICONICALLY DORKY LINE: “KIRK!!!!”
ICONICALLY EVIL LINE: “KIRK!!!”
