Movie Villains Vs Movie Villains

We love our movie villains, who doesn't? But is it fair they never get to win? Maybe they'd have a better chance if they fought OTHER movie villains. Alright, that would allow at least ONE of the bad guys to win. But who? Here is our list of who'd win in a Villain Vs Villain show down.

Hans Gruber Vs The Joker, Winner GRUBER - Hans Gruber the gentleman's baddie. He's clever, nasty, and wears suits when taking hostages, whom he then lectures on the of their history boss. The Joker is an insane yet genius crime boss who tends to operate off his emotions. A battle between the two would mostly take part between henchmen all attempting to 'impress' the boss. After exhausting all their thugs, a final match between the two would be won by Gruber who would take the first opportunity to shoot the Joker. Case closed.

Anton Chigurh Vs Hannibal Lector, Winner CHIGURH - Chigurh is one crazy S.O.B. - ruthlessly killing damn near anyone who sets eyes on him, let alone those who get in his way. And apparently, the only way you can survive a run in with the man is the 50-50 chance of a coin toss, but dear god, don't question his motives, it just seems to irritate him even moreso. Lector is a brilliant psychiatrist who is incarcerated after he is revealed to be a cannibalistic serial killer. He greatest murderous asset is the ability to get into your head and make you question your own existence. This of course would work on most any normal individual, problem being is Chigurh doesn't fit into that category. Before Lector would have his questioning the love for his mother, Chigurh would have Hannibal all over his boots.

The Terminator Vs Agent Smith, Winner AGENT SMITH - The Terminator is an autonomous robot, typically humanoid, originally conceived as a practically indestructible soldier and assassin, as well as an infiltrator. He is hell bent on completely his mission and won't stop until his target is dead. Smith is an Agent an artificial intelligence manifested in the artificial world and possessing extraordinary powers to manipulate his surroundings including superhuman strength and the ability to flawlessly dodge incoming bullets. We don't believe Smith is a better villain and is more deserving of a win, but after the Terminator was defeated by a waitress we had to second guess his villainous abilities.

JAWS Vs Major Arnold Toht, Winner JAWS - JAWS is a Great White Shark and the perfect killing machine. He has no concious, no hestation, he will just eat you. Toth is a sinister SS agent with no concious yet not back bone either. A battle between the two is fairly unmatched but we really wanted to see the shark eat Nazi.

Saruman Vs Darth Vader, Winner Vader - Saruman the White was the Chief of the Order of Wizards. He was wise and powerful, but he was also proud and he became corrupted by desire for the One Ring and was ensnared by the will of Sauron. He created armies and machinery and sought to expand his power, but in the end Saruman's works were undone by a power greater than any he could devise and he was slain by one of his own slaves. Darth Vader is a dark, ruthless figure, out to capture, torture, or kill the anyone preventing him from thwarting the Empire. It's honestly not fair to pair anyone up against Vader. In a battle between the two the time it takes to cast a Wizard spell compared to the quick-handedness of the Force would a knock out in the first round.

17 Thing You May Not Have Known About THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER

We LOVE the HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER. It has espionage, submarines and Sean Connery. Can you ask for anything more. We love lists... as you know. We love to collect knowledge. So here is a little knowledge we collected from IMDB.com. Here are 17 things you may not have known about THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER

• After being faxed the script, Sean Connery initially turned the role down on the basis of the plot being unrealistic for the post-Cold War era. Whoever sent the fax neglected to include the foreword explaining the movie as historical; once he received the foreword, Connery accepted the role.
  
  
• Kevin Costner was originally cast as Jack Ryan.
  
  
• $20,000 was spent on Sean Connery's hairpiece.
  
  
• During filming, several of the actors portraying USS Dallas crewmen took a cruise on a real submarine. To train for his role as the Dallas' commander, Scott Glenn was installed as the "commander" of the real sub and gave orders to the crewmen as the real captain would.
  
  
• The crew of the U.S.S. Dallas adopted the tagline "The Hunt Is On" as an unofficial ship's motto.
  
  
• The dual-beeping sound effect of the Red October moving on the USS Dallas' sonar screen was also used in Patriot Games (1992) as the sound of Jack Ryan's EKG.
  
  
• The underwater model of the Red October has never been in the water. This effect was achieved using smoke on the 'underwater' set and a few digital touch-ups. The sub was hung by 12 wires from an overhead grid which gave the ability to tilt and turn the model as needed.
  
  
• For the purposes of filming the underwater model of the Red October, only the left side of the sub was detailed to appear as an authentic submarine. The effect of showing the right side of the boat was achieved by simply turning the frame and reversing the image.
  
  
• Most of Gates McFadden's role as Cathy Ryan was deleted from the final print.
  
  
• Due to his obligation to this film, director John McTiernan had to pass up the opportunity to direct Die Hard 2 (1990), the sequel to his big hit Die Hard (1988).
  
  
• The Hunt for Red October (1990) was released in March 1990, just as Major League Baseball was entering spring training. Lou Pinella and the rest of the Cincinnati Reds used this movie all season for motivation and swept the Oakland A's in the World Series that October
  
  
• It is a manly film: Gates McFadden with Louise Borras (as Jack Ryan's wife and daughter) and Denise E. James as a flight attendant have the only credited female speaking roles, and all of their dialog scenes are over before the end of the opening credits. There is an uncredited female engineer speaking in the background at Skip Tyler's dry dock and another (non-speaking) flight attendant appears at the end, but apart from that there are no other women in the film.
  
  
• The name of the frigate that rescues the Red October's crew, the Reuben James, is from another of Tom Clancy's novels, ‘Red Storm Rising’.
  
  
• The body count of this movie is debatable because of the sinking of the V. K. Konovalov - the Alpha class submarine was intended to be operated by a crew of only 16-18 officers but in actual deployment would mostly have some 23-24 officers, as well as 4 petty officers and a cook on board. Apart from the crewmen of the Konovalov, the count is five: - Victor Putin, the political officer, the pilot and navigator of the F-14 crashing onto the Enterprise, Red October XO Vasilij Borodin, and cooks assistant/saboteur Loginov
  
  
• Navy recruiters set up booths in some theater lobbies for people to sign up to join the service, or to at least look into it.
  
  
• Jack Ryan mentions that he wrote a book about Adm. William F. Halsey. This is appropriate, as Ryan is also a professor of military history at the U.S. Naval Academy, as shown in Patriot Games (1992).
  
  
• Alec Baldwin accepted the role of Jack Ryan because Harrison Ford turned it down. Cast member Sam Neill also benefited from Ford's refusal three years later, by being cast in the lead role of Jurassic Park (1993).

5 Worst Actor Transitions From Television To Movies

It's common knowledge that success in Television doesn't always translate into success on the silver screen. But it doesn't always stop those from trying. Here are the worst transitions from TV to Movies.

5. Roseanne - Hollywood could even recognize she was made for Television yet box office poison but it didn't stop her from trying. Her first leading role in a feature film (She-Devil) even made her costar Meryl Streep look like a b-movie star. Society doesn't mind watching her offend people for free, but when you have to pay $10 and eat stale popcorn, people will think twice.

4. Cast of Friends - There was much anticipation by viewers for each of the cast members to make their feature film debut. Each initial project was a HUGE failure. The only cast member who figured out the correct path to make it to film was Jennifer Aniston who married Brad Pitt. I'd hate to see a world where Pitt was homosexual, married Matt LeBlanc. The horror.... the horror. It doesn't look the Hollywood is banking on the remaining cast anymore. But beware, someone... somewhere is writing ED part 2... be afraid, very afraid.

3. David Caruso - For 15 years you'd played supporting roles in movies with success. But they were minor roles for a reason. Somehow you land a starring role in the popular television show NYPD Blue and that movie itch was stronger than it ever was. So you bite the hand and leap to the big screen. The good news is the starring roles don't fade away, the bad news is the movies are as bad as your crappy one liners. Caruso, you've been given another hug by Television, we recommend you don't blow it.

2. Bronson Pinchot - Ironically it was movies that made him what he was. His small role as Serge in Beverly Hills Cop paved the way to his major television success as Balki Bartokomous in Perfect Strangers. 150 episodes later he left Television to conquer the big screen. After a few film failures (Second Sight, Blame it on the Bellboy) he made a few attempts back to Television. Learning that people loved Balki, not Bronson, he was reduced to voice over work and even a run on The Young and the Restless. Of course let's not forget VH1 Reality TV which is nail in the coffin to a legitimate career. Sorry Cousin.

1. Shelley Long - So you're on one of the most popular Television shows in history (Cheers) and you're considered one of it's contributing factors. Do you (a) stay on and help keep it a success or (b) let it go to your head and try to force the next step? If you're Shelley Long you take B. Also if you're Shelley Long you prove to critics that a great show can prosper without you and that you're comedic talents aren't strong enough to keep a movie audience entertained for 90 minutes. Don't worry Shelley, as long as they keep making straight to DVD Brady Bunch movies then you'll keep getting work.
