30. Bill the Butcher

Movie: Gangs of New York
Year: 1999
Actor: Daniel Day Lewis

Why: This gang-leading patriot is like a king in the early years of New York City. He represents the Nativist district of the "Five Points" and is more powerful than the authorities. He is an extremely patriotic and racist visionary, who believes the new Irish-Catholic immigrants are a threat to America. He is not afraid to get his hands dirty once in a while, hence the name Bill the Butcher.

28. Colonel Frank Fitts

Movie: American Beauty
Year: 1999

Why: This ultra-conservative colonel has just moved into the neighborhood and simply cannot stand homosexuals. He is a strict disciplinary who constantly beats his son. His anger is truly unleashed when he believes his son is selling drugs and is a queer. He finally opens up and unleashes his insecurities to Lester Burnam, who just happens to be at the wrong end of the barrel.

Key Line: "You're damn straight I do. I'd rather you were dead than be a fuckin' faggot!"

Why: Never has a fighting force been as awesome as the Crazy 88, led by their assassin boss O'ren "Cottonmouth" Ishii. The gang consists of both sexes and use swords as their primary weapons. Under O'ren's superior skills, comes an entire cabinet of villains just as demented as she is. First there is Sofie Fatale, second-in-command as O'ren's lawyer. Then comes Johnny Mo, the loyal leader of the 88, finally there is the very disturbed 17 year old girl named, Gogo, with a fine skill of the chain weapon.

Key Line: "The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is,... I collect your fucking head. Just like the fucker here. Now, if any of you sons of bitches got anything else to say, now's the fucking time!"

25. King Edward Longshanks

Movie: Braveheart
Year: 1995

He begins his immoral campaign against Scotland by passing the law of Primae Noctis, forcing all Scottish women to give their virginity to the British. He considers his son a weakling and puts his love for England above everything else.

Key Line: "The trouble with Scotland is that it's full of Scots."




24. Saruman

Movie: Lord of the Rings
Year: 2001
Actor: Christopher Lee

Why: This powerful wizard turns against good when hope is nearly lost. With his deep, dark voice, tall stature, and white presence, Saruman makes for a chilling servant of evil. He becomes the hand of "Sauron" and the wise leader of the Orcs. He imprisons Gandalf and forms a great army of Uruk-Hai to destroy mankind. He gets aroused at the thought of killing women and children. He is blinded by the power of the ring.

He does not care for his dying wife nor daughter in-law, yet only for his future son and the Regime of Spain.

Key Line: "I choose to be here because I want my son to be born in a new, clean Spain."

22. Boba Fett

Movie: Star Wars
Year: 1980
Actor: Peter Bulloch

Why: As a kid obsessed with Star Wars, Boba Fett was always my favorite character. He is a bounty hunter, who captures and encases Han Solo in carbonite. The coolest thing about Boba Fett is his arsenal of weapons. He is fully equipped with a jet pack, rocket launcher, blast rifle, disrupter pistol, remote explosives, fiber chord, and a missile attached to his jet pack. He is a very mysterious character, who doesn't say much, and usually shows his approval with a modest nod of the head. There has never been a cooler action figure than Boba Fett.

Key Line: "He's no good to me dead!"



21. Sgt Bob Barnes

Movie: Platoon
Year: 1984
Actor: Thomas Beringer

Why: This conservative Sgt, has begun to grow mad during his time at Vietnam and uses alcohol as a means to escape. He begins to grow a strong dislike towards the druggies in the platoon which he calls the, "heads". As division begins to occur within the platoon, Sgt. Barnes takes the matter into his own hands by killing one of his own, the compassionate Sgt. Elias Gordan. He is a proud, merciless leader who despises hippies just as much as the Vietnamese.

Key Line: "Are you smoking this shit so's to escape from reality? Me, I don't need this shit. I am reality."
