A while back Ears made a post about villains one loved too hate; I've
been thinking about that on occasion, two in particular stand out:
(1) David Patrick Kelly as Luther in both "48 Hrs" and "The Warriors", as
Tommy Ray Glatman in "Dreamscape", and (2) Les Carlson as
Barry Convex in "Videodrome".
I believe what's so abhorrent about these two is that they have
absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever, no honour(even among criminals), no class, no morals, etc. They exude a sleazy aura of cowardice I find difficult to digest. Makes one want to mash them under
ones foot like the vermin they are. Some badguys are an admixture of
good and bad qualities, with the bad outweighing the good, so one has to
respect certain things about them. But not with these two. - AH
sounds like Jean Claude Van Damm, but this %&()@!#$% keeps living through his movies. He's the cinematic equivalent of that obnoxious pink rabbit.
Read in a magazine a while back that Van Damm was floored by one punch in
a night club thrown by one tough looking hombre, an ex-con. I saw the
dudes picture and he looks as if he could chew nails - face scowl, tattoos on rippling muscles, etc. Forget his name, it's Italian, - his Dad was a good middleweight boxer at one time. The
dude evidently had a bit part on the set and heard talk that Van Damm commented that he
"had no heart", then came across Claude in the club and punched him! Reportedly this guy has gotten all kind of movie offers after the story
spread. - AH
I kind of liked Lawrence Olivier in "Marathon Man." IS IT SAFE?
