7. I'd just like to add to my previous nomination
That MC Hammer also plays a bad guy in "One Tough Bastard." Even Hammer's character is not as lame as Savak though.

Savak: "Tsk, tsk."

Awful.

12. You should hear the way he says it too
It's like, "Tsk." ... "Tsk."

Like the dude is trying his best to be evil with this terrible piece of dialog :)

So lame, so very, very lame.

8. Dennis Hopper in Speed.
If you bought the premise, it might have been an interesting movie. I wouldn't know. I never bought the premise. Hopper's crazed maniac was a poor shadow of his earlier iconic performances, especially in Blue Velvet.

27. Dennis Hopper always plays Dennis Hopper
Sometimes a script calls for "Dennis Hopper" and Dennis Hopper is called an acting genius. Sometimes, some other human being on the face of the Earth is required in a script, and Dennis Hopper looks like crap.

11. Gary Oldman's character in "Fifth Element"
He usually kicks ass, but he was lame in a that movie, which was also lame IMHO.

18. "I'm very dissapointed!"
I love the "5th Element."

If you insist on a movie stimulating you intellectually don't bother seeing "The 5th Element." But if you'd love the see a comic book version of "Die Hard" in space, this is your movie. Is it satisfactory High Brow entertainment? Absolutely not. Does it go well with popcorn? Oh yes.

16. Terl? Was that Revolta's name in that waste of celluloid?
And this is based on his religion! He's like a saner Mel!

25. An excerpt and link to my review of Battlefield Earth
Edited on Thu Apr-15-04 01:50 PM by BigMcLargehuge
http://www.horrorview.com/BATTLEFIELDSHAME.htm

He is captured by Master Thespian John Travolta dressed as Gene Simmons dressed as Worf playing Predator while also auditioning for a role on Sheet-Rock-Stilt-Theater. Meet Terl (John Travolta in all his awesome Shatner-ness). Terl will be your guide today as we tour the ruins of Psychlo inhabited Denver. He is accompanied by Forrest Whittaker dressed as Peter Kriss playing the Cowardly Lion hiding in Barklay the Dog's costume from Sesame Street, Ker is Terl's "administrative assistant".


I kid you not.

31. Agree. Battlefield Earth was worst drek ever filmed.
Therefore, all bad guys, good guys, extras, were the worst by default.

A close second to the killer in American Psycho II. How can one be a "villian" when one of the victims is William Shatner? Also, all the young college girls fighting with each other to sleep with William Shatner's old ass was repulsive.

19. Definitely the clone Picard in Star Trek Nemesis.....
That TWAT was basically a less-convincing version of Dr Evil from Austin Powers. I couldn't take him seriously at any point.....

Crap villain, crap film - I demand that time be added back onto my life!!!

21. Tommy O'Shea, from Death Wish V: The Face of Death
Michael Parks, you are not Jack Nicholson. You can't even do a decent imitation of him! Don't try to imitate him!

22. Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin in "Daredevil"
Is it just me or is that fellow totally unable to convince anyone he's evil?

28. I thought he worked well as Kingpin
Kingpin was a real casting challenge to begin with. Very tough to meet the physical type requirement.

The main problem with Kingpin in that movie to me was the final fight sequence was the worst editing job I've ever seen in a major movie.

At the very least, Sarah Douglas gets eye candy credit.
