The Terminator<\/strong><br \/>\nAs played by: Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Terminator (1984)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The villain: Sure, the T-1000 might be deadlier, but there&#8217;s no doubting the intimidation factor of Skynet&#8217;s original robot enforcer. Opting to shoot first and ask questions later, he&#8217;s a robust killing machine that won&#8217;t stop until you are dead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanest moment: When he blazes a trail through the local police station, turning his weapons on anything that moves.<\/p>\n<p>Nicest quality: If he&#8217;s on your side, he&#8217;s lovely! See Terminator 2 for details.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>15. Hans Gruber<\/strong><br \/>\nAs played by: Alan Rickman in Die Hard (1988)<\/p>\n<p>The villain: One of the first of a new breed of urbane, continental terrorists, the unflappable Gruber is the perfect counterpoint to rough and ready cop John McClane. He isn&#8217;t afraid to get his hands dirty &#8211; he&#8217;d just rather not rumple his suit unless it&#8217;s absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Meanest moment: &#8220;You know my name but who are you?&#8221; sneers Gruber. &#8220;Just another American who saw too many movies as a child? Another orphan of a bankrupt culture who thinks he&#8217;s John Wayne? Rambo? Marshal Dillon?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nicest quality: He&#8217;s a bright boy. &#8220;And when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer,&#8221; he quotes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>4. Anton Chigurh<\/strong><br \/>\nAs played by: Javier Bardem in No Country For Old Men (2007)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The villain: A psychotic gun-for-hire with a slavish devotion to the laws of chance. There&#8217;s nothing more terrifying than a nutcase with a code and an obsession for murdering people with a cattle bolt gun. It&#8217;s as horrible as it sounds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanest moment: The way he taunts the store owner is pretty bad (you don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re talking about) but there&#8217;s nothing to top the unyielding bloody-mindedness that leads him to kill Carla Jean.<\/p>\n<p>Nicest quality: He&#8217;s good with kids. He doesn&#8217;t kill those two boys, does he?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gem Seddon and GamesRadar.com present&nbsp;The 25 Greatest Movie Villains of All Time.&nbsp;Here are three of my favorites and some after<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[54,65],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-movies","category-trivia"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20840"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20840\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20841,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20840\/revisions\/20841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
