80s movies characters I would never get bored of punching. A thread..
Tommy from The Karate Kid. The type of lad who was mates with the hard kids at school because he was mouthy, not because he was hard.
Troy Perkins. Plenty of reasons why but this photo alone speaks volumes.
Dwayne T. Robinson. Was quite happy to sacrifice John McClane in the greatest Christmas movie of all time.
Walter Peck. Almost singlehandedly destroyed New York City and blamed it on the Ghostbusters. The @&#!
Mark Dixon. Thought he was harder than Biff Tannen. He wasn’t.
Vizzini. It’s absolutely inconceivable that this man could have any form of power. He guessed wrong and it’s what he deserved.
Richard Thornburg. Not content with threatening a maid with deportation, did his best to get John McClane and his wife killed to further his career.
Judge Smalls. You won’t be waiting long for me to punch you, you smug git.
Admiral Piett. A glorified school prefect
Mick McAllister. I’ve never been so happy to see someone lose a fictional game of basketball
Kyle Blanks. The school bully who all the teachers liked for some reason
Chet Donnelly. Although essentially a comedy character, he is 100% a massive toolbag.
Brad Wilson. Thought he was still the school bully even though he was clearly in his 30s. Obviously related to Walter Peck and Dick Thornburg
Dr Rene Belloq. Let Indiana Jones do all the graft and took the glory for himself.
Gwildor. It should have been Orko.
Frank Nitti. Responsible for one of the most heartbreaking scenes in movie history.
3-D. Seriously, what was the point of this character?
Clubber Lang. I love Mr T but Clubber killed Mickey.
Mike Barnes. A 17 year old who... Wait. He’s 17? Really?
Mrs Deagle. Strutted round Kingston Falls like she was the Wicked Witch of the West. I cheered so loudly when her Stannah went through the window. The only time I was on the Gremlins’ side.
Greg. He really did have zero charisma!
Oscar Baldwin. Ordered a brutal attack on Johnny 5 despite Johnny’s cries and begging for it to stop. An absolute monster.
Otto West. Possibly the most untrustworthy character in any movie ever. Was obviously bullied at school and spent his adult life bullying anyone and everyone he met
Jimmy. Seeing someone get their throat ripped out shouldn’t make you happy but it does. Every time.
Darryl Jenks. Where do I start? The hair. The moustache. Telling everyone his girlfriend had agreed to marry him when he hadn’t even asked her. Living off his parents’ fortune. The list goes on.
Ma Fratelli. Was just like everyone’s Nan - if your Nan kept family members locked up in the basement and tried to purée your fingers
Harry Ellis. Another who tried to get John McClane killed to save his own life. It didn’t work and he ended up getting shot himself. Did anyone really care though?
Hot Rod. Optimus Prime would still be alive if it wasn’t for this glory hunter
Jeanie Bueller. Yes, she eventually saves Ferris from Ed Rooney but she spends the whole time before that crying and screaming her way through the movie.
Richard Mason. Thought he was God’s gift to women despite looking like the alive version of the train ghost from Ghost
Leueen. Seemed far too happy about the impending destruction and take over of the planet by General Zod.
Sully. He was lied to, driven off the road and dropped head first off a cliff. Admit it, you felt good too when all that happened.
Dr Louis Faraday. Kidnaps an innocent kid and treats him like a lab rat. Then pouts when he doesn’t get what he wants.
Lt. Max Eckhardt. Not only did he dress like one of The Untouchables, he thought he was untouchable. He wasn’t.
General Klytus. The kind of snivelling little sidekick that thinks he’s actually got some power. Ming the Merciless would have strapped him to the front of War Rocket Ajax if it meant he could rule the galaxy.
Lt. Tom ‘Iceman’ Kazansky. No one likes a bighead.
John ‘Ace’ Merrill. Threatens just about everyone he comes into contact with. The cheap dime-store hood.
Dr. Janosz Poha. Looked permanently scared. Kidnapped a baby because a painting told him to.
Gerald Hopkins. Smug, self-centered, egotistical. Most of his scenes were cut from the movie. Good thing, really.
Steff McKee. Arrogant and smug. They’re the nicest words I can think of to describe him.
Otho Fenlock. Unable to tell the difference between success and failure. A massive coward and an even bigger balloonhead.
Joey. There’s always one annoying kid on a plane who won’t shut up. Joey was it.
