Automatically generated comment thread for My Favorite Movie Assholes: Part 2.

Good stuff. You gotta keep these going. Suggestions:

Hedley Lamarr - Blazing Saddles
Orin Scrivello D.D.S. - Little Shop of Horrors
Judge Smails - Caddyshack
Chet Donnelly - Weird Science
Holly Thompson - They Live
Staff Sergeant Barnes - Platoon

Glad to see Big Ern finally get his due. Murray is just brilliant and has countless hilarious lines in that role. I loved the ending when he's shouting with glee that he's now a millionaire and above the law. Just comedic genius.

Following Pac-Man's lead, here's my own suggestions for future inductees into the Movie Asshole Hall of Fame:

Gny. Sgt. Hartman (R. Lee Ermey) Full Metal Jacket
Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) Gladiator
Carter Burke (Paul Riser) Aliens
Daryl Jenks (Eriq La Salle) Coming to America

First, a link I think anyone interested in the Breakfast Club will appreciate. Congraturation, Bender! You are the Breakfast Club.

And now, some of my own suggestions.
Sho-nuff, the Shogun of Harlem The Last Dragon
Nurse Ratched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Wicked Stepmother Cinderella (Ok she's a cartoon but she's an absurd asshole)
Rene Belloq Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark

Tatsu was my favorite movie asshole as well, and he was in all three Ninja Turtle movies, in the third one it's his ancestor, showing that he has the Biff tendency for stubborn bloodline assholishness.

every incarnation of"BIFF" should be included, altho the BtF II Biff was just wired wrong, the Old West Mad Dog Tanner was a total Ass!!

Tannen,i ment.

Not only were all the Biffs in the movies huge assholes, but so was every Biff in the cartoon!

No matter where or when the characters went in the Back to the Future animated series, there was always a biff. He always looked sounded and acted exactly the same. Talk about strong genes!

Creepiest thing about Ed Rooney was that, in the real world he went on to become a pedophile.

Les jeux sont faits indeed...

I'm pretty sure Aguilla Beckersted is Nedermeier from animal ouse, another classic asshole role.

Great article! I enjoyed the first one too. I've also got some suggestions:

Kent from Real Genius
Stan Gable from Revenge of the Nerds
Roman Craig from The Great Outdoors
The Truck Driver from Duel
Salem Jones from North and South haha!!
Al Pellet from Summer Rental

thats all I've got. Good job again!

This was a great list of movie assholes, Rog.

You writin' these down, Rog? ;)

much assholishness was had by all

I can agree with many that have been said already. Some, I'm not familiar with, but I trust my fellow posters in this regard.

Yet again, though, I have to nominate Johner (Ron Perlman) from "Alien Resurrection" and I thought of a new one. Hanover (Wes Studi) from "Deep Rising." He makes no bones about being a bad guy, but it's that little bit at the end, the "What'd I ever do to you?" that does it for me.

That was great.What assholes
Suggestions:

Mr.Blond-Reservoir Dogs
Eric Gordon-Billy Madison
Tatoya-Man with the screaming brain
Pete-Shaun of the Dead

I was waiting for Lumberg this time but I thought for sure this time Jabba the Hutt would be on there.

I'm thinking about James "Clubber" Lang. He is, without question, a prime example of pure assholishness.

Only Jimmy from "Road House"?!? But Wesley is the one that does the asshole stuff in that movie (and just for fun!). Besides, he has the best line in the whole film. When he's fighting with Swayze on his trophy room (filled with dangerous highly-sought game as a giraffe and a polar bear) he says

"I see you found my trophy room, Dalton. The only thing missing... is your ass."

Which, the first time I saw the movie made me wonder how would Wesley would display Dalton's Ass to his visitors, hanging on a wooden shield-formed wooden plaque on a wall.

"Oh yes, I didn't had complete satisfaction while killing walruses, buffaloes and giraffes, but I found it when I HUNTED FOR ASS!"

Everytime I see that film, or someone mentiones this scene, a denim wearing butt on a wooden plaque comes to my mind.

Pee Wee calls Francis Buxton...FransASS BuxTON, cause his ASS weighs a TON!!!!

Thanks for the continued suggestions guys... definitely keep 'em coming because I'll still be doing more installments of this series. And don't worry, if I haven't gotten to some of your favorite assholes yet, I probably will at some point.

Mrbigstick, I never saw the third TMNT movie because I heard it was really bad, but now that I know Tatsu (well, his ancestor) is in it, I'll have to check it out. Still, it's hard to go anywhere but down when the previous movie reached a new cinematic apex by having Vanilla Ice and ceremonial donuts being fed to mutants in it. You just can't top that.

HeroliciousDeBlanc, yep, same guy! He really was good at playing assholes on the silver screen, eh?

Silver, Clubber Lang was just extremely angry... but I think Ivan Drago was way more of an assholes. He kills Apollo Creed, looks down at his lifeless body and without any emotion whatsoever, he says, "If he dies, he dies." Now THAT is an asshole.

Commanderraf, I already explained in the article that Wesley is a huge asshole, but Jimmy is my favorite one in that movie. And the title of this article is "My Favorite Movie Assholes", so I'm definitely gonna stay true to that when deciding who to write about. Ask 90% of people who've seen Road House what their favorite line in the movie is, and I guarantee you, they'll quote Jimmy's prison line. It's just too damned funny.

Sac from wedding crashers, love the comparison owen wilson makes between him and ike turner. lol

Doyle Hagraves from sling blade, this dude pulls no punches in the asshole department, he calls carl a retard, calls frank a sissy, calls frank's dead dad a sissy, beats on franks mom, kicks the shit out of his own band mates, and one of them is handicapped, how's that for assholenish.

Percy from the green mile, one sadistic prison guard who gets himself off on the tourture of the pisoners, as Tom Hanks said, its not enough for you to watch them die you gotta be close enough to smell their nuts cook.

Deebo from friday, memorable moment was him nailing red and stealing his bike, That's my bike punk!!!

Shooter Mcgavin from happy gilmore, talk about asshole, he plots to humilate happy gilmore, take his woman, make happy's mom's room into a trophy room and win that golden jacket.

One jerk that I'm pulling from the back of my memory is Senator Billboard Rawkins, from the film (and musical) Finian's Rainbow. The dude is openly and unapolegetically a complete racist and bigot. When he thinks that Rainbow Valley (the setting of the movie) has gold hidden in it, he writes a new law specifically forbiding blacks and whites to live in the same places (the Valley is integrated). When an Irish immigrant points out that such a law is...well unlawful he says "I don't know where you immigrants get these radical, foreign ideas". When he's told that these "radical ideas" come from the United States Constitution, he states "I don't have time to read it, I'm too busy defending it!" He also said "My family's been having nothing but trouble with immigrants ever since they come to this country!"

Admittedly he does lose his assholish ways by the end of the movie, but that's only after magical gold turns him black and a leprachaun puts a spell on him to make him more open-minded.

Totally agree with Dr. Seaton. I remember slinging him much rage while watching the movie, usually punctuated with "idiot".

"YOU'LL BE SORRY, PEE-WEE HERMAN!" One of my favorite movies of all time.

Glad you've shown Tetsu some love...I've used, "Ninja, vanish!" as an outro for many, many years.

I got more.

Aguado-Ace Ventura:Pet Detective
Stiffler- American Pie
Uncle Frank-Home Alone
Buzz- Home Alone
Mr.Hand-Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Curtis Mooney-Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Frank Shirley- Christmas Vacation
Coach Harris-Revenge of the Nerds
Ed Dillinger- Tron
Dr. Phillip Barbay- Back to School
Chas- Back to School
Big Ben Healey- Problem Child
Veruca Salt- Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

I recon Burglekut in Willow should be on this list.
He's got the greatest in-your-face laugh of all time.

yeah, The name Buxton usually means your a poor bastard just like me.

George Lucas.

Not a bad list, but Ivan Drago definitly should've been there. Me, I prefer lists of real assholes. Here goes (in no particular order)...

Tom Cruise - just for being himself (a very crazy, very gay man who somehow married Katie Holmes). Oh, and also for reproducing. That poor child.

Mel Gibson - for every movie he's been involved in except Leathal Weapon 1 & 2

George Lucas - for obvious reasons, but especially Jar-Jar Binks

P. Diddy (or whatever he calls himself) - Jesus Christ, pick a fucking name! Oh, and his music sucks.

Bush Jr., Cheney, and their entire cabinet - again, obvious reasons

Russel Crowe - for being an arrogant prick in every movie he's ever been in

Frank Miller - for ruining All-Star Batman and Robin

Joe Quesada - for ruining Spiderman

Hell with it, EVERYONE at Marvel and D.C. - for just plain making me hate comics

Heath Ledger - no, just kidding, I'm just pissed that he's dead

Okay, end of rant. And I really was kidding about the Heath Ledger thing.

Oh, and ROG, I hope it's not too late, but DON'T WATCH TMNT 3!!!!! Please, for the love of God, I'm begging you, don't do it! Your soul will never recover, I promise.

Tommy Hook from Thrashin. Mola Ram from Temple of Doom, Joker from Batman for sure. Can not EVER forget Beetlejuice, AND YOU FORGOT LO PAN!!!!!!! Oh and Jaws from Moonraker.

I have another for you guys. Bill Lumberg from Office Space. He's the typical passive aggressive asshole boss who is allways hassling Peter about his TPS reports. What really makes him an even bigger asshole is that he fires poor Milton yet never tells him about it, then takes away his favorite stapler because he can, then moves his desk all the way in the dank smelly dark rat infested basement, even eats cake in front of his face and makes him spray for rodents. Funy thing is, the name of my boss here at my job is Bill. :)

Glenn from "The Wedding singer"
Jonathan from "Hot Rod"

I actually enjoyed TMNT 3 a lot... but then, I was just a kid.

Adam Sandler in anything.

The passage when our hero imagines Jennifer Anniston's character having sex with him is the most hilarious part of the movie.

A couple of suggestions from me:

Major Krauss (Richard Lynch) from Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge would fit in well; a Nazi asshole who had Andre Toulon's wife killed when Toulon wouldn't reveal the secret to his living puppets (as well as providing a visual template, retroactively, for the puppet Blade).

Dr. Philip Decker from Nightbreed. Supposedly Boone's psychiatrist, he more or less sets Boone on the path to joining the Nightbreed, all so he can wipe them out, himself. Also, he's been killing families of "breeders" and more or less pins it all on Boone, himself, as part of his plan.

Excellent articles!

How about Tong Po from Kickboxer. He crippled Van Damme's brother and then raped his girl. He even told Van Damme that she was a "good f***".

Actually Veruca Salt isn't the biggest asshole in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. It has to be that no good rotten Grandpa Joe.

Just a little to the left thatttttttssssss it yeah. (slurps coffie) Oh Peter, do you have those tps reports yet? :)

Rog, I'm disappointed that you didn't include Carter J. Burke from Aliens.

*image removed*

Tried to impregnate a woman and a young girl in order to get the embryos through quarantine. Also knowingly sent a family into a craft full of alien eggs, thereby causing the death of all but one of the colonists. He was more than willing to fuck everyone over for a "god damn percentage". Only cares about the $$$. Also locked a possible escape exit for several marines in a pitched battle with aliens. Overall douche bag.

"Those specimens are worth millions to the Bio Weapons Division. If you're smart, we can both come out of this heroes and we will be set up for life."

Bill Lumberg = Seven different shades of assholeness.

I thought Shooter McGavin from Happy Gilmore would have made it. Hell, Christopher McDonald who plays him is even in Grease 2. That's pure thoroughbred assholeness right there.

ah yes, biff tanner, total jerk. well, here goes a list of prospective assholes:
John "Ace" Merrill- from stand by me
the butcher from gangs of new york
Anton Chigurh from no country for old men
the captain from pan's labyrinth
castor troy from faceoff

by the way, have you ever thought of making a review of the movie "double dragon"?

i'm not sure if it's too recent, but i think Ralph Fiennes' character Harry Waters in In Bruges was a pretty great movie asshole. the one scene where he tells his wife she is "an inanimate fucking object" and when he sees a guy with an eyepatch who was blinded earlier, says "aye-aye" to him.

With any list of movie ASSHOLES I think you would have to include DOYLE HARGRAVES from the movie SLING BLADE. This guy is one of the greatest ASSHOLES ever seen on film. There are 3 things in life that make DOYLE SICK!!!!! 1. MIDGETS 2.ANTIQUE FURNITURE and 3.RETARDS!!!!!!!! Also Doyle has a rocking band and he hates little whiny kids, he tells the boy Frankie that his real father raised him to be a pussy!!!! If you make a part 4 to the list Doyle should be included!!!!
