Sometimes it’s good to be bad. Sure, heroes run around, save the day, and get the girl... but who the heck cares? It’s those devious evil-doers who get to have all the fun!

My top 5

5. The Three Storms (Big Trouble in Little China)

I thought about putting Lo Pan here but instead I chose his bad ass henchman. Mother nature incarnate and the basis for Mortal Kombat's Raiden.

4. Darth Maul (Episode 1)

He's like Darth Vader with out the whinny little bitch back story and a double sided lightsaber. The only reason I will even turn on Ep. 1

3. Biff (Back to the future)

"Make like a tree and get out of here." He was so bad ass he could say that and never get called on it by anyone but his own bad ass self.

2. T1000

He is DEATH PROOF and can morph into stuff.

1. Agent Stansfield (Leon)

Corrupt DEA Agent who doesn't give a fuck who he kills. The antithesis of the hero in the film. Both bad ass but for different reasons.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you Tommy and Patrick being a "villain". It doesn't really make sense. To have a villain, you need a hero and there are no heroes in those movies.

I edited my list because I forgot to include one of the most badass villains ever... AGENT SMITH.

HOW DID I FORGET HIM? :confused:

Oh well, the list has been remedied. Forgive and forget, right?
