New Wave Outpost Forum

Talking about Bullies in the "Things I Hate" thread got me to thinking about some of the classic 80's cinema bullies. I thought it would be fun to see who is the best one. According to you all.

Sure I probably left out a few but these were the ones that came to mind.

One guy made the list twice. The guy who played Jonny Lawrence in Karate Kid and Greg Tolan in Just One of the Guys. He just looked like a prick I guess. He was also a fucker in Back To School with Rodney Dangerfield.

I'd vote for the Cobra Kai sensei, if he were on the list.

What about Tom Berenger in Platoon?
What about the hoods from The Toxic Avenger?
James Spader in Pretty in Pink???

What about eight/6 OOPS!(according to some drips on the board)

*When I'm fealing cheap, I always wear pleather*

Another vote for James Spader in 'Pretty In Pink', lets not forget his bulliness in 'Less Than Zero'....but he does get his ass handed to him by Rob Lowe (the bully in the movie) in 'Bad Influence'.

LOL!! I half way expected to see my name on the list when I read the thread title.

I was smellin' alright, and lookin' alright.

Being a jarhead myself the Gunney character takes me back to those joyous days of boot camp. [:)]

Where's the choice for Bill Paxton in "Weird Science"?

I was thinkin' the same thing.

Dick Rude in Repo Man!!! [8D]

So I had to vote for "Better Off Dead" one of my most faves! Young John Cusak!

This time of year I'd have to say Scut Farkas from "A Christmas Story" (OK, it was set in the 40s but made in 1983).

What about these 80's bullies?

Biff Tannen from Back to the Future
Stan Gable from Revenge of the Nerds
The three Heathers from Heathers

LOL, I voted for the Karate Kid bully too. That guy was so easy to hate. Hell, [b]I[/b] wanted to beat the piss out of him based on principle alone. And I completely agree on the My Bodyguard bully - definitely a close second [:D]

Craig Shaeffer made a good bully in "Some Kind Of Wonderful" circa 1987, but my vote goes to the quintessential high-school bully - Buddy Revell from my second favorite 80's teen movie (behind "Fast Times At Ridgemont High") - "Three 'O Clock High".

Another vote here for Biff Tannen. Geez Ben where were you when you made this thread? You missed both Biff and James Spader.
