Like every decade in cinema, the 80s brought its share of charismatic “bad boys” who knew how to transcend the years to still be present in popular culture today, some of them becoming iconic. They earned a quiz and a little portrait of the three of them before they started, which of course won’t appear in the answers.
We can begin by quoting one of the characters who often ranks among the greatest villains in the history of cinema, the bogeyman who had the privilege of starting the saga that now bears his name: Freddy Krueger. A terrifying character who, with his striped sweater and steel claws, stalks many teenagers in his films and haunts several generations of viewers.
If Christopher Lloyd is primarily and probably forever the face of the Doctor in Robert Zemeckis’ Back to the Future, we can recall that he also interpreted a much less sympathetic character in another film directed by the same director. Of course, we’re talking about Judge Demort, who is determined to defeat all the Tonys in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?.
The women are not left out and in a very different cinematic genre we can mention Liaison Fatale’s disturbing Alex Forrest played by Glenn Close who puts Dan Gallagher (Michael Douglas) through real hell after their one night stand.
These are just three examples from a very large family of nasty characters. Here are nine others in this quiz dedicated to them. Are you ready for a meeting?
