'80s Villainy

[MissingInAction 25051]

During my daily internet rabbit hole journey I came across a mosaic of all the greatest villains of '80s movies and television.  I don't know if it's the nostalgia talking, but I'm not sure it gets any better other than the Monsters Ball of universal studios back in the 30s and 40s.

My top 5 are:

1. The Terminator

2. Kahn

3. Jason

4. Michael Myers

5. Hans Gruber

Kurtwood Smith played a pretty good villain/dick in some 80s flicks. Robocop, Dead Poets Society, True Believer.

I’m thinking that since Vader and emperor first appeared in the 70s they weren’t included. Michael Myers too.

Empire debuted on May 21, 1980. Vader was definitely the villain still, what with torturing Han Solo and cutting off Luke's hand. The Emperor's full debut was in May 1983.

It's not Top 5 but an amalgam of William Atherton in Real Genius, Ghostbusters, and DieHard makes a pretty solid villain.

No Billy Zabka?

My son wanted a pet lizard. Told him the only way I would buy it was if he named it Dr. Emilio Lizardo. He actually said ‘No, that’s a dumb name.’ Little shit didn’t get a lizard, did he?
