Bad guys that you wished would have gotten away with it

[acedrake]

Great picks all. I was just thinking on Renner in the Town. He should have gotten away.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Ed Harris in The Rock.

Great pick.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Cypher from The Matrix.

Now don't get me wrong, every time I watch the movie I hate his guts but the more I think about his reasonable position and how the Trilogy played out I can't help but to think he was right.

The real world was miserable and really the only benefit from "being freed" was being forced to fight cold hearted machines for the rest of your life while eating slop underground. These "freed minds" weren't enlightened. They were just pulled out of a blissful fantasy and put into an ugly reality. I'd rather live in the world the machines created. As flawed as it was it was paradise compared to the real world.

[amazingfantasy15]

Point Break

Bodhi did get away with it. He escaped and got to ride his ultimate wave, like he always would've. Sure, his friends may not have made it, but Bodhi was the real bad guy and he won.

edit

sorry

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Francisco Scaramanga in The Man with the Golden Gun. Of course this would mean Bond would die, but watch that movie and tell me that he isn't more sympathetic than Bond is (who acts like a complete jerkass throughout).

 

[Jochimus]

The shark in "Jaws". He's just stopping through getting a bite to eat and some sun, and what happens? The Man blows his head off. Totally uncalled for.

Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris' characters in Gone Baby Gone didn't really do anything morally wrong, IMO. Casey Affleck's character made a bad call. I could understand his POV too, but I disagreed strongly with his climactic actions.

Ed Harris in The Rock. Too bad he couldn't have made it out alive.

I could understand Cypher's motivations in The Matrix, but he was still an ass, what with murdering all his crewmates.

 

[kedrell]

Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction. Should'a listened to Jules.

 

[acedrake]

Gone baby gone is a perfect example. I mean I wish so bad for the main character to die though. And yeah, Vega should had gotten away as well

 

[ChickenScratch]

I'm gonna get killed for this one. Fender Tremolo, the bad guy in the movie Cyborg. The geeky guitarist in me loves that movie for the character names (Gibson Rickenbacker, Nady Simmons, Pearl Prophet, Marshall Strat, Furman Vox) and that dude was one scary dude.

 

[Ultimatehero]

He killed [BLACKOUT]Captain Stacy and probably that Indian dude too[/BLACKOUT]. He had to be locked up.

The Lizard did that. Connors didn't. That's why I would have liked for him to get away.

 

[the last son]

Billy the kid Young guns

John Dillenger Public enemies

 

[acedrake]

I would like to add Dracula to the list Always wanted Drac to get the girl and not necessarily Kill Harker. And Phantom of the Opera as well.

 

[<(o_o)>]

The Terminator but then Skynet would have probably still happened in a different way whether they killed/destroyed him or not in the first movie.

 

[Baramos]

The Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

He wanted just one pure thing in his life but noooooooooooooo

 

[Paladin-Hoss]

I'm gonna get killed for this one. Fender Tremolo, the bad guy in the movie Cyborg. The geeky guitarist in me loves that movie for the character names (Gibson Rickenbacker, Nady Simmons, Pearl Prophet, Marshall Strat, Furman Vox) and that dude was one scary dude.

HA! i remember that guy! you're right...he's one scary dude!

As for my choices:

-Imhotep from the Mummy movies.

-Hal 9000 from the Space oddysey

-790 from the Lexx tv series.

 

[Donnie Darko]

pretty much every slasher movie. Even if they get caught or "killed" at the end, you always want to see them open their eyes or walk away somehow at the end. I also like it when they pin it on someone else and it gets revealed that they did get away with it.

 

[Venom75]

Freddy Krueger in Freddy vs. Jason. We was on his way to terrorizing Elm Street again when Jason wouldn't step aside. So,he kicks Jason's butt for most of the film and then Lori and Will(2 annoying characters)decapitate him. And to add insult he only had 1 kill the whole film! He should've come back in a FvJ 2 and killed them all!

 

[The Navigator]

Any of the Aliens, specifically in terms of wiping out Weyland-Yutani (even though that would probably mean a large chunck of humanity as well). Always annoyed me that they got "bought out" in between 3 and 4.
