Hot Villains

Okay, so my buddy Karen mentioned in another post that instead of writing about kicking villain's butts, why don't we write about villains who have kick-ass butts? Hmm ... so it got me thinking about hot baddies in movies (and TV). And it was a little hard. I mean there are TONS of femme fatales, who are fatalistically gorgeous. But most bad guys aren't that attractive. So with some help from my husband and friends, I came up with a list in no particular order. Please feel free to add as you see fit:

  1. Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale), American Psycho: He had like no body fat in this movie. Not to mention the scene where he's naked and wielding a chainsaw. Honestly, if that was the last thing I saw before I died, it really would be just fine.
  2. Mr. Blonde (Michael Masden), Reservoir Dogs: What can I say? I absolutely love the James Dean, coolness that a young Masden played in this role.
  3. Sawyer (Josh Halloway), Lost: Maybe he's not a major villain. But he did flip back and forth from being a bad guy. Plus, I'm a sucker for blonde men, especially the cocky ones who spew pop culture sarcasm.
  4. Spike (James Marsters), Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Blonde. Cocky. Brooding. British. What more can I say?
  5. Wah Sing Ku (Jet Li), Lethal Weapon 4: He had an intensity about his character that really scared me and I like men who frighten me a bit (but in a good way). Plus, he had some killer moves.
  6. Bullet Tooth Tony (Vinnie Jones), Snatch: British accent. Cocky. Frightens me. Ahhh.
  7. Jackson Rippner (Cillian Murphy), Red Eye: (He also played the Scarecrow in the Batman movie.) He's got the most intense blue eyes and a boyish charm that hides a psycho underneath. Niiice.
  8. Victor Von Doom (Julian McMahon), Fantastic 4: Extremely confident, which can be majorly sexy when he's not trying to kill everyone around him.
  9. Bullseye (Colin Farrell), Daredevil: Accent and a total bad boy in real life and in character.
  10. Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), The Mummy: Exotic. Confident. Great pecs. Searching for the love of his life. Who cares if he just sucked out everyone's soul?
  11. Harry Osborn/Goblin (James Franco), Spiderman 3: Chiseled cheek rich boy with lots of toys and smart enough to almost beat Spiderman.
  12. The Collector (Billy Zane), Demon Knight: Polished, charismatic, and with a pearly-white smile that brightens his handsome face, it would be really hard to keep your soul after a night with this character.
  13. Zao (Rick Yune), Die Another Day: High cheekbones, full lips, no body fat, and some kick-ass moves. It wouldn't be too bad to lose a fight to this guy.
  14. Early Grayce (Brad Pitt), Kalifornia: Totally insane, scruffy, long hair, and killed a woman then brought back her nice red shoes for his girl. Now that is thoughtful.
  15. Dracula (Gerard Butler), Dracula 2000: Okay, so this move totally sucked (pun intended) but being bitten by a vamp that looks like Mr. Butler ... well ... that wouldn't suck that much.
Okay, now I know that I've missed somebody. Any suggestions???

I've gotta go with Alan Rickman in Die Hard and Stephen Dorff in Blade. ;-)

Oh yes! Stephen Dorff! He was on my original list but somehow got missplaced. He was exceptionally lethal and hot, except when he sort of expanded in the end. That was kind of gross. :P

And Alan Rickman ... he has such a cool reserve and arrogance, especially in the Die Hard movie (and even in Harry Potter) that although he's normally not the kind I'm attrated to, he definitely should make the list! And note again, there's something about a British accent ... ahhh.

Woo Hoo! Hot Villains!
Actually, Imhotep was one of the two guys who got me thinking about the bad guy's ass.
And don't laugh, but the other was George Hamilton in Love at First Bite. Hey, I was just a kid when I saw that one.
For film noir, Bogie when he's being bad.
Love Alan Rickman's voice. Ditto Jeremy Irons in DHw/V. Prefer Jeremy's ass over Alan's.
Haven't seen it yet, but just from the trailer -- Johnny Depp in Sweeney Todd.
Bad guys in more mainstream movies: Sean Bean in National Treasure. Sean Bean in just about anything.
And what a head rush to be mentioned in your blog!
Thanks!
Karen

Ok, love your Hot Villians...although...since you love horror too, I'm only allowed to watch some of those LOL. I know, bad, but then hey, you don't have to deal with me trying to kill you in your sleep because I'm having nightmares ;)

I'm a fan of: Angel, Spike, Jet Li, Brad Pitt (and never thought I'd say THAT One, but love Meet Joe Black for some insane reason), Kurt Russell, ...and a number of others. Hot men = they're perfect for the part, they're passionate....and the love every second of whatever they're doing.....they're IN the moment.

It is about being in the moment and being in tune with every aspect of that moment...at least for me ;)

Karen — Love At First Bite was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. Kind of inspired my romantic interest in vampires ... campiness and all. :P

Jeremy Irons is definitely a cool villain. He also has a great voice, which I love.

And Sean Bean was the bad guy in GoldenEye. He is so cool. Ahhh, it always comes back to the British guys for me, doesn't it?

It was a great suggestion! Thanks, Karen!

Stacia— I NEED to see Brad Pitt in Meet Joe Black!!! I keep hearing about it. Ugh! That'll be a Jen-movie when hubby goes away again. :P

Forget Brad Pitt in "Meet Joe Black." He was totally kick-ass AND kick-ABS in "Fight Club."

How can I forgot that!!!! Oh, my. Brad in Fight Club was totally crazy and crazy hot. :P

Then last night I watched Eastern Promises and can I just say that Viggo Mortenson was a total badass, anti-hero in that movie. He has to be added to this list if only for all the cool tatoos he sports and for the steam shower scene where he fights off two men in NOTHING. Yes, that's right. He was totally nude.

That's funny as hell and a very long list there. How about adding Gary Oldman to the list and Viggo, Eastern Promises just for good measure. :) I can't say enough about Johnny Depp in Sweeney Todd. ROAR! He can sing to me anytime.

E—good choices. Gary Oldman definitely has a certain charm and Johnny, despite all his pastiness, was hot as always in Sweeney Todd. See above comment about Eastern Promises. Made me view Viggo in a whole other light. :P
