The Most Awesome Characters in Movies.

7. The Kurgan (Clancy Brown): 'Highlander'.

Whether you love or hate the actual movie, you absolutely have to admit that Clancy is the star of the show.

[Ed Hocken]

8. Frank (Henry Fonda) Once Upon a Time in the West:

One of the great casting against type rules ever. Frank was a true evil sonofabitch.

Very much on par with Hans Landa.

[Captain Russ]

Hans Landa ain't got shit on Frank.

9. R.J. MacReady.

He starts off the film as a reluctant Antarctic Sombrero fan with a love/hate relationship with his "cheetin' bitch" chess simulator, then turns into a dynamite-tossing badass when shit hits the fan.

He'd rather die freezing to death than let that alien doucher roam free. Even if it's himself or Keef David that the Thing's piggy-backing on.

[Ed Hocken]

Well said, my severly inebriated friend.

[Captain Russ]

Give that shit a rest, buddy.

I am very sober.

[V]

I ain't!

[Captain Russ]

Why would you be?

You've invoked the Law of the Blessed.

You must imbibe and yell things (ACTING!) under that statute.

[Matt]

Goddammit, V. Why aren't you at a movie theater watching 'Kick-Ass'?

We should create a "Brian Blessed Drinking Game"...

Every time he says something over 100 decibels, you take a shot.

Let's begin!

Kurt Russell pretty much dominates this thread.

I'll contribute:


Father McGruder from Dead Alive, because the lines

This calls for divine intervention!

and

I kick ass for the Lord!

..are truly classic, and he's just as funny as a zombie as he is an ass-kicking priest

Would that be #10, Trejo?

#11 - Mr. Orange (Tim Roth) - Reservoir Dogs. Awesome, cool, fabulous all around, but managing to sit partially propped up by one arm, losing 90% of the blood in his body in the process, while blowing away Mr. Blonde, shooting with one hand and not missing a beat - spectacular!



EDIT: This photo is from Movieretriever.com, and here's a little love that went along with that picture, which I couldn't agree with more:

In the early-to-mid 1990s, Tim Roth was one of the most consistent actors on the scene, delivering again and again with great art movie performances like Vincent and Theo and Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. As great as Keitel, Madsen, Buscemi, and Penn are in Reservoir Dogs, Roth is our key to the film. Assuming you're not an ear-slicing lunatic, Mr. Orange is the average viewer's most identifiable character. He's the guy who could be you caught in a really dangerous situation. While Madsen and Buscemi get the lines most quoted in drunken frat houses, Roth grounds the film in the believability that truly makes it work. If all the characters were ranting about "special service" and dancing to Stealer's Wheel, Reservoir Dogs would be like the dozens of awful Tarantino rip-offs that followed his first few films that mistakenly assumed it was only the flashy characters from QT's movies that had an impact. From the gut-wrenching opening scene through the final shot, Roth's work in Dogs is some of the most underrated of the QT filmography.

12) Walker (Lee Marvin) - Fuck you, fuck the broad. He just wants his money. The definition of Post-Modern gangster cool.

from POINT BLANK (1967)
