ACTION GALLERY So here's a thought, do you have to be animated to be a cartoony Villain or Super Villain? I thought and thought and thought and decided heck no! So here are some live action Villains who I think bridge that gap between reality and the world of cartoons. |

Rita Repulsa, The Power Rangers (original series) I love this lady. She's probably my all-time-favorite live action cartoony Super Villain. I love her technique: send a monster that has no chance of blending in (and will most definitely get the Power Rangers' attention on the double), then when it fails to crush the do-gooders make it grow to Godzilla-like proportions and let it battle the Megazord until it fails to crush them again. Rinse. Repeat. |

Hans Gruber, Die Hard Can you talk about villains without talking about Hans? I considered including another of Alan Rickman's roles as Robin Hood's Sherrif of Nottingham but if I'm only going to include one villain per cartoon, I can only truly include one villainous role per actor, right? Hans Gruber is the most scrum-diddley-umptious of all live-action Villains. If you don't know what I'm talking about you obviously haven't seen the film. Go rent it, then you'll understand. |

The Joker, Batman the movie Yeah, Jaaaaack Nicholson. This sets an interesting precident: the Joker is in the Hall of Fame, The Live Action Gallery, and he has a quote on the Home Page. I think that proves his superiority as a Super Villain to end all Super Villainry. Wait, wait. Okay, remember this? "Where does he get such wonderful toys?" Yeah, that's a great line. |

Richter, Total Recall I know he's really truly the sidekick in this movie but the Super Villain bossman Mr. Cohagen just ain't that great. Richter gets better lines, better action, and he's the instigator of his own evil acts. He even tunes his boss out when he doesn't feel like playing along. He's a villain in this role with aspirations for climbing the ladder of success. "Give ze people air!" --Dennis Quaid |

Kaiser Soze (Szze), The Usual Suspects the movie He is The Man when it comes to Super Villainry. His galactic-sized ego and his awe-inspiring planning skills place him up at the top. I would say if The Joker is the ultimate cartoon Super Villain, the Kaiser is the ultimate live-action Super Villain. |

Norman Stansfield, The Professional Special thanks to Al for setting me straight on Gary Oldman's character's name in this film. Says Al, "Best bit in the film 'Do you love life, sweetheart?...And you want to join him.'" My favorite part is where Leon tries to make Mathilda smile by telling her he keeps a pig in the kitchen. Because of the wording of her reply I won't repeat her line but let me just say it's a great dead-pan response. I also appreciated how Leon was unable to say Mathilda's name. Came out "Machilla" every single time. Anway, all this is to say that Gary Oldman has Super Villain insanity down to a science. Need more proof? Go rent Bram Stoker's Dracula (the one with Keanu Reeves. Now there's a good laugh!). Oldman plays so many good bad guys that I simply had to pick one. This one is my favorite. |
