A certain generation is still trapped in the 1980s, particularly when it comes to movies from that era. To be more precise, we still can’t get enough of those ’80s villains action movies, bad boys and girls, who we like to despise: those antagonists that made our beloved heroes’ lives a living hell.
Here are some of our favourite ’80s movie bad guys and ladies, whether they’re in action movies, comedies, or adolescent love dramas.
Darth Vader is perhaps the most scary, but cool, symbol of evil (played by David Prowse; voiced by James Earl Jones). Vader was initially presented to us in 1977’s Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, but its in the 1980 sequel that he truly earned his moment.
“Superman IIGeneral “‘s Zod (1980)
There are few superheroes as powerful as “Man of Steel,” however General Zod (played excellently by veteran actor Terence Stamp) gave him a run for his money. Following Superman’s unintentional release of Zod and his two fellow criminals from the phantom zone, the ruthless as well as revenge-fueled Zod sets out to control the planet. While humanity are no measure for his abilities, Superman is torn between opposing Zod’s world rule and “must bow before Zod.”
Roy Batty, “Blade Runner” (1982)
As the ringleader of the Nexus-6 replicants, the late, great Rutger Hauer is fantastic. When it comes to Batty’s like/dislike level, it’s simple for some movie fans to feel divided. What can’t be debated is that he’s a challenging cinematic adversary with the ideal blend of superhuman strength and mind-blowing intelligence.
Clubber Lang, “Rocky III” (1982)
Rocky Balboa has faced some fearsome foes, has there ever been one more fearsome as well as determined then Chicago mauler Clubber Lang (Mr. T)? Mr. T’s first major movie role made him a household figure and paved the way for his ultimate television popularity with “The A-Team.” We “pity the fool” who doesn’t consider Clubber Lang to be one of the top 1980s evil men ever.
