GROUP ELEVEN
JOHN LAWRENCE (William Zabka) in The Karate Kid
This guy played a lot of "jock-type" parts in the 80's. He always plays the type of guy you love to hate....rich, good looking, good with women and a total jerk to weaker human beings (most of us).
He never killed anyone, but jeez he was easy to hate.
MICHAEL MYERS in HALLOWEEN
For so many cinematic trick-or-treaters, this holiday is no longer a happy time for eating goodies, either because they're dead or have been forever scarred by encountering a psychopath by the name of Michael Myers.
The Shape's shoes are often filled by career stuntmen who enjoy taking an ass-kicking, absorbing various stabbings, electrocutions, gunshots, fire, windows, and other usually-fatal acts of mankind. His physical resilience is downright fascinating, and his obsession with revenge is neverending.
Impaling and slashing people has rarely been done better, and with such silent contentment.His obsession with murdering every last remote member of his family is admirable.
JASON VOORHEES in FRIDAY the 13th series
After ten films and over twenty years, the hockey mask has become an icon of blood-curdling terror.
Throughout the entire Friday the 13th series, Jason has offed over 100 people on screen with a vast array of fantastic devices. Consider this list of weapons used (which is by no means complete): icepick, barbed wire, straight razor, spear gun, cleaver, pitchfork, fire poker, surgical hacksaw, corkscrew, axe, broken bootle, tree branch, dart, tent spike, party horn, electric guitar, syringe, steam pipe, wrench, pencil, car door, deep frier, barbecue skewer, liquid nitrogen, and, of course, the machete. Yup... with versatility comes longevity.
43. CATHERINE TRAMMELL (Sharon Stone) in BASIC INSTINCT
You know a movie achieves its objective when you think that a character is sexier than the person that plays her. That is exactly what Catherine Tremell does. She exudes sex and that is exactly her game. She knows that she can play with people's minds by using her beauty and her sex appeal. And she does it so well.
How many video tapes have been damaged over the years as a result of the leg opening scene? This movie was a blessing and a curse to Sharon Stone's career. I don't rate her as an actress, but she was perfect in this.
44. LITTLE BILL DAGGERT (Gene Hackman) in UNFORGIVEN
Gene Hackman gives a performance worthy of the Oscar it won him; every scene in which he appears is filled with tension as we are given glimpses of the touch of madness that lurks beneath the surface. Daggett is as crooked as the house he is building looks reasonably OK from the outside but on the inside all manner of stuff has leaked in.
