Ultimate Villain Deaths Part 1

Oh, Villains. The guys we love to hate. It always seems satisfying when a villain in a movie gets their just desserts. The audience feels like justice has been served. I have compiled a list of 10 of the ultimate examples of bad guys getting what they deserve. This is the first half. Oh, and there will be spoilers. You've been warned.

Karl Ruprecht Kroenen in Hellboy

Quite possibly one of the coolest looking bad guys out there. He makes that trenchcoat look good. He starts out with a luger and I'm like "Woah, this guy is cool." Then he takes out bladed tonfas and I'm like "Woah, this guy is wicked cool!" Karl does make the mistake of killing Hellboy's adopted father. Big mistake. After having his face pummeled in by the Right Hand of Doom he falls into a pit of spikes. Once impaled on the spikes Hellboy finishes him of by throwing a giant gear on him.

Br. Zachary Smith in Lost in Space

To be perfectly honest this is not the only Gary Oldman character death considered for this list. I also thought of Hannibal and The Professional. Maybe I just chose this one as a safe way of admitting that I have seen Lost in Space (like three times). So Dr. Smith becomes a spider monster and has little spider babies. He thinks that he'll go to earth and take it over for all spider-kind. Understandable. He gets sliced with a trophy (yeah, lame, I know) and all the little baby spiders come out of the egg sac and eat him. Alive! Compare the two: eaten by pigs or eaten by your own offspring. Hannibal was a way better movie.

Colonel Koobus Venter in District 9

No one likes this guy. You cannot watch this movie and not hate this guy. Not only does he pretty much suck at his job, he's a dick. Sounds like a villain to me. This guy gets surrounded by the aliens that he's been wantonly killing and abusing throughout the film. They eventually grab him and rip off his head. Not cut off with a knife. Not blow of with an alien laser gun. No. They rip off his head with shear alien strength. Serves him right.

Warden Sugiyama in Riki Oh

Let me start off by saying that Riki Oh is the most gory movie that has ever been made. Seriously. More so than any horror movie. Anyway, the movie takes place in a prison and the guy on the left is the warden. The one on the right is his son. He's a spoiled piece of crap. The warden actually transforms into this like super monster form which surprised me even though it shouldn't have because the movie is so ridiculous. The warden fights against Riki and is eventually beaten and forced down a meat grinder. The only thing left of him is his head which Riki holds triumphantly. It is worth noting that he is alive when he goes into the grinder. That reminds me of a Judas Priest song. Grinder! Looking for meat! Grinder!

Thulsa Doom in Conan the Barbarian

James Earl Jones plays a good villain. It can't be denied. Thulsa Doom kills Conan's family and then has him sold into slavery. If that's not bad enough, he also kills Conan's girlfriend. And at one point he crucifies Conan as well. The ending scene in Conan the Barbarian is very anti-climactic but for some reason it works great. Conan confronts his nemesis and Thulsa Doom tries to work his psychology on him. Thulsa Doom is all like, "Your whole life you have been trying to kill me. If I die your life has no meaning." Then Thulsa Doom invites Conan to join him. I think he calls him his son as well. There is a moment where it looks like Conan is considering it. This doesn't last and he takes off Thulsa Dooms head. What makes this particularlly brutal is that it is a moment of realism in the movie. His head doesn't come off in one swing. Conan hacks at him till it comes off and then throws it down a huge set of stairs. This whole thing happens in front of thousands of Thulsa Dooms followers. It's like Conan was saying, "You think this guy is so great? Check this out!"

I think the other half of the list is even better. Just wait and see.
