In honor of the much hyped and not nearly as enjoyed Superbowl this weekend, this week's Ulitimate 11 is dedicated to the impotent Villians who have failed to instill any amount of fear in us. So here is your list. The Ultimate 11 Least Intimidating Movie Villains

Mark Pillow as Nuclear Man in Superman IV: The Quest For Peace

Even if this guy didn't look like he should be posing in a thong on a Myrtle Beach post card from 1986, and even if he wasn't played by a guy named "Mark Pillow", he would still be one of the lamest bad guys of all time. He's just as strong as Superman. Shares the same genes. That's scary. Oh, but there's one catch: He's fucking solar powered! That's right. This guys unstoppable. Between 6:30am and 7pm. Unless you just pull the drapes. Then he's helpless. Garbage.






Nothing as The Nothing in The Neverending Story

Hey. You know what would have made a scarier villain in this movie than "The Nothing"?... "The Something". I understand that budgets can get a little tight, but making your primary antagonist a formless entity is just plain cheap by any standard. Atreyu's horse was so bored by the middle of this movie that he elected to sink into the Swamps of Sadness rather than see how it ended. I envied Artax.



Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader in Star Wars: Episode II and III

Nice job Lucas. Way to take the most fantastically imposing and dreaded figure of our collective youth and fill his iconic suit with a rat-tail-sporting, whiney bitch who looks like he should be in the band "O Town". How am I supposed to be scared re-watching the original trilogy knowing that it's that half-melted little boy-toy in there? James Earl Jones' voice fills that costume out better. Christ.


David Bowie as The Goblin King Jareth in Labyrinth

Director: David, this just isn't working. I'm just not buying you as a terrifying, wicked villain right now. Do you have any ideas?

Bowie: "Well, I guess we could put more glitter on me."

Director: "Good. That could work."

Bowie: "And I suppose I could playfully fondle a few more of these smallish crystal orbs while I sing a song that I wrote called 'Magic Dance'."

Director: "Sounds great. I've already got goose bumps! Action!"


The Daleks as a Slow Moving File Cabinet from "Dr. Who"

One of the most popular villains to ever appear on the Dr. Who series, these lumbering vending machines are about as scary as an ATM. Ok... An ATM armed with what looks to be a plunger and a Hair dryer. EX-TER-MI-NATE!" "OH MY GOD! IT'S THE DALEK'S! Everybody walk away"












a Tiny Doll as Chucky in Child's Play

Oh No! Chucky's loose again! We're dead for sure this time! Unless we...get up on a chair. If you get murdered by a Cabbage Patch Kid, you deserve it.







Martin Kove as John Kreese in Karate Kid I, II and III

We'll look past the ass-whooping you took at the beginning of Karate Kid II from the four-foot-three, eighty-year-old man who used to run Al's Diner on Happy Days. Everyone has an off day. But the bottom line is, you can't have a perm and expect people to fear you. Mercy is for the weak, but hot rollers are for straight up pussies.







Demi Moore as Madison Lee in Charlie's Angel's 2 Full Throttle

I don't know what it was that didn't work for Demi in this role. It might have been that she never changed her facial expression throughout this movie. Every scene she looks like she's having a conversation about politics with Ashton. She must have been the only one on the set who read the script.


Megatron as Megatron in Transformers: The Movie

Not only did he transform into a gun, he transformed into a crappy, bitch-sized gun. A Walther P-38. If you're gonna be a gun how about at least being one from Post World War II? I suppose when your most loyal soldier is a fucking tape deck, this sort of shoddiness is to be expected.











Samuel L. Jackson as "Mr. Glass" in Unbreakable

The only thing more feeble than the plots to M. Night Shyamalan's movies is Samuel L. Jackson in this movie that pits an indestructible Bruce Willis against a comic book collector who's femurs break when the wind blows. The fact that M. Night used one of our favorite badasses in this frail role is bad enough, but giving him that haircut was Unforgivable.






John Travolta as Any Bad Guy in Broken Arrow, Battlefield Earth, The Punisher, Swordfish, Face Off and Look Who's Talking Now.

Stop it John Travolta. Just stop it. You're not a good villain. Look at these movies! What more proof do you need? We graciously allowed you to come back into our lives and the public eye when Tarantino decided to cast you because he has a soft spot for cheesy, 70's pop culture and Welcome Back Kotter, and this is how you repay us? For shame, John Travolta.





Honorable Mention:
Terence Stamp as General Zod in Superman 2

He didn't make the list because... well neither of us go a week without, at some point, telling girls to "Kneel Before Zod". But he is mentioned because he was roughly a foot an a half shorter than Ursa his first in command. Plus he looks like a Bee Gee.

So there you have it folks. The Undebatable 11 Worst Villains in cinematic history. So here's where you go ahead and waste everyone's time by spouting off your unfounded and barely literate alternatives. Who wants to be the first to point out that we didn't mention Arnold Schwarzanagger in Batman and Robin? You're move.

"They called me Mr. Glass..."

True story: two days ago I convinced my girlfriend to buy me Unbreakable for Samuel L's final line. I'm not making this up.

I don't think a 'villain' could be any less intimidating, ESPECIALLY next to Mr. You Can't Fucking Hurt Me Unless You're Carrying a Swimming Pool In that Trench Coat.

Seventeen cheap shots to the kidneys and back of the head when Rocky is walking away, and he STILL gets the life loving piss beat out of him by an (already) frail Balboa.

One of those flashlight keychains would be enough juice for Nuclear man to beat Tommy Gunn's ass.

Hillary Swank, the Million Dollar Man Child, knew something about cheap shots. She woulda still beat his ass silly even AFTER her little bloody stool incident.

I refuse to believe that he was a boxer in real life.

I'm sure it was a clerical error or something, but instead of Cobra-Kai, you probably meant to focus on COBRA, the Evil Terrorist Organization Determined to Take Over the World that cemented G.I. Joe in our hearts and minds as a "Real American Hero." The pussies in this bunch could be an entire column. Consider:

Cobra Commander: He is clearly super gay with that lisp. Homogay and badass are mutually exclusive descriptors (unless your name is Omar and you're living in West Baltimore).

Destro: Can't take a man seriously that has a metal face and can't control his woman (baroness something). But seriously, what was in that fucking briefcase? Probably his gimp suit or something.

The Super Gay Twins: They definitely touched each other's privates and whispered sweet nothings in each other's ears -- in those awful accents no doubt. See Cobra Commander. I don't remember their names, but I know neither went by Omar.

I seem to remember some pussy doctor, and I think that bird guy belongs up here somewhere too. They can't possibly be tough. No wonder the Joes always won.

substitute "cocaine" for "glitter" and "8-balls" for "smallish crystal orbs" and that should explain it...

also, i think the little kid from star wars episode 1 that played 10 yr-old anakin would have done a better job as vader than poor man's eric foreman did...

well, the walther p-38 *did* fire a fucking laser instead of a bullet.

an addition,
chong li from bloodsport. i mean, seriously, dude, you shake your tits to intimidate your opponent?

Val Kilmer in Willow. What a total pussy. Mind you, he did turn out to be the good guy in the end.

Dafoe did a good job playing him, but the suit looked like it belonged on the fucking power rangers.

Great list.

One of my friends misheard the movie and kept on saying, "Come to me son of Jorel, kneal before Jeff." With a name like Jeff he could be a flake, but as Zod he kicked ass. He flew around conquered, destroyed, and then made everyone kneal before him.
Worst bad-ass line, Nuclear-Man says, "Stop, or I will hurt people." Did the writers run out of threats against Superman?

Outside of Nicholson (who managed to eb a badass while wearing makeup because he's, well, Jack Nicholson) what non-pussy badguys have there been in the Batman movies? Danny DeVito as the Penguin? Jim Carrey as the Riddler? And let's not even start on Mr. Freeze. The closest thing to a non-pussy WAS a pussy (MP as Catwoman).
