Rooting for the bad guy

Okay, this is probably a bit redundant, this being a horror forum, but are there any things (movies, games, tv shows) where you want the bad guys to get away with whatever they are doing? Not just wantiong to see Jason hack someone up, but when they have some brilkliant scheme that you would just lobve to see it pan out.

My example. I am watchin Die Hard right now, and i actually kind of wanted the bad guys to get away. Their plan was perfect. had Bruce not fucked things up for them, they would have gotten away. they all woudl have been in a non-extridition country earning 20% on 47 MILLION dollars.... if that is just annual, that would be $9,400,000 a year for sitting on your ass. Gotta sympathize with wanting that kind of life.

Here is how it breaks down:
that is $783,333 a month

$180,769 a week

$25,753 a day



figures to a salary of about $3,561 an HOUR


Anyway.. i also always felt for Neil McCauly in Heat (Robert Dinero). Sure, he was a bad ass, but he wanted to retire to a nice, calm life in New Zealand...

Same here. The bad guys always get cooler uniforms. Same with Star Wars. Darth Vader and the stormtroopers just had kick-ass outfits.

Luke only looked cool in the black outfit from Jedi.

We wont get into proncess Leia. i mentioned once to my wife that i liked her when i was a kid and now she give sme shit whenever we see Carrie Fisher on tv.

She is scary now, but i was 8 when Jedi came out.... That metal bikini made quite an impression....

Yeah I always liked the empire also, Boba Fett was the shit..

I loved Princess Leia also as a kid, but you're right she's scary now, all the years of drug abuse fucked her up.

I loved the bit about her in Jay and Silent Bob as the hairy bush nun, that was fucking hilarious.

just george clooney in Dusk til Dawn...

I have liked a lot of badguys ...
nothing like a great charismatic badguy ...usually such a 2 dimentional role so its fun to see someone with character.


christopher walken in A View to a Kill
John Glover in 52 Pickup
Jack Warner in Time after Time

I almost pissed myself the first time i saw that. Especially knowing how she was in real life, to see her as a nun was almost as funny.

I always loved Russel Crowe as Sid 6.7. He is such a loveable and cheery bad guy. he really truly ENJOYS killing people.

Francis Begbie. He is such a fucking nutcase, i am almost afriad he'll com eout of the screen and cut me if i badmouth him.
