  • According to trivia, that look of shock on Alan Rickman’s was real. The stunt guys told him they’d count to three then drop him, but they let go at the count of 1.
  • @juiceboxhero81
    Fun fact about die-hard: Bruce Willis dropped him on the count of 2, not 3, the actor playing Hans (Alan Rickman) did not know about this, everyone else did, so his reaction was real.

    In the Jurassic Park book, Dennis Nedry is a lot more sympathetic. The book describes how he gets ripped off with the way his boss changes his contract to steal free work from him. In the book, Hammond was the villain who paid for refusing to listen to the scientists who were a lot smarter than him.

    Judge Claude Frollo (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) Frollo breaks every single one of the Ten Commandments throughout the movie while convincing himself as well as his minions that he does his wicked acts in the name of God, thus justifying the burning of Paris in order to satisfy his lust for Esmeralda. But when he finally has both Esmeralda and Quasimodo in a position where they can't escape, he quotes "And He shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit!" Which God does. Jabba the Hutt (Return of the Jedi) Luke made many attempts to convince Jabba to release Han peacefully, but in response the bloated alien gangster makes two attempts to kill him, while constantly yanking the leash he has attached to Leia. It should also be worth noting that the first act of evil we see Jabba do is drop Leia's predecessor, a Twi'lek dancer named Oola, into the rancor pit to be eaten alive when she refuses to come to him. This makes it all the more satisfying when Leia strangles Jabba to death with the very chain he enslaved her with. Judge Doom (Who Framed Roger Rabbit) He kills Marvin Acme and frames an innocent cartoon rabbit for it, all so he can claim ownership of Toon Town so he can destroy all those innocent toons in order to build a freeway over it. Not only that, he's revealed at the end to be the very same toon that killed Eddie Valiant's brother and who can forget his murder of that poor toon shoe? But because he's a toon himself, he can be killed by the Dip, his very own creation that he was going to use to wipe out Toon Town. And it's Eddie who manages to give Doom a taste of his own medicine, thus avenging his brother. As Roger said, the real meaning of justice hit him like a ton of bricks. Ernesto de la Cruz (Coco) Famous even in the Land of the Dead, and his biggest fan Miguel Rivera thinks he's his ancestor and only hope to get back to the land of the living. But when Miguel finally gets to him, de la Cruz's past comes back to haunt him in the form of Miguel's real ancestor Hector and they learn that de la Cruz poisoned Hector to steal his songs, and because Hector's family didn't know about it they cut him off from them and he almost faded because of it. To prevent anyone from finding out the truth, de la Cruz tries to murder Miguel. But the truth is revealed, de la Cruz loses everything he held dear in the Lands of the Living and Dead, and last we see of him...let me put it this way: does it ring a bell?
  • I was honestly hoping to see Hopper on the list. He ordered the ants for a double amount in the offering, threatened to kill Flik and squish the Queen. But in the end, he was outsmarted by Flik and got what he deserved. But atleast Back to the Future was on the list, that movie is one of my favourites

    In die hard, the reason Hans Gruber looks so shocked is because the director didnt tell him when they were going to drop him at all lol. He was fine of course but, it was like a 10-15 foot drop! Into super soft padding of course but still, just the sudden plop! would scare the plop of pretty much anyone lol!
  • @savagelion1887
    Loved Hans Gruber, Alan Rickman did an amazing performance RIP

  • Oh yes! Thank you so much for putting Dennis Nedry and Biff Tannen on the list! I thought it was super how George finally stood up for Biff Tannen after he was harassing Lorraine! Then, because George showed Biff who was boss, Biff was hired by George instead of Biff supervising George! And Dennis Nedry got his comeuppance for shuttung off the park's power and stealing Dino embryos when he became a Thanksgiving dinner for Dilophosauruses!
  • Kent Mansley from the Iron Giant got what he deserved. Especially how he treated Hogarth just to get information about the giant. Watching the general yell at Mansley after Mansley ordered a missile launch was so satisfying.
  • It's truly satisfy of seeing a main villains got what they deserve from Hopper from "A Bug's Life", to Commodus from "Gladiator", and Thanos from the EPIC "Marvel Cinematic Universe".
  • There are plenty of movie villains who got what they deserved that didn’t make this list. Just to name a few: Adolph Hitler - “Downfall” Amon Goth - “Schindler’s List” Rene Belloque - “Raiders of the Lost Ark” The Shark - “Jaws” The Truck - “Duel” Ben Mendelssohn - “Ready Player One” Maul Ram - “The Temple of Doom” Shan Yiu - “Mulan” Judge Claude Frollo - “The Hunchback of Norte Dame” Cruella Deville - “101 Dalmatians” The Joker - “The Dark Knight” Carmine Falcone - “The Batman” Ursella - “The Little Mermaid” Chucky - “Child’s Play” Freddy Kruger - “Freddy’s Dead” Mrs Vorhees - “Friday the 13th” Captain Vidal - “Pan’s Labrynth” The Armitages - “Get Out” Biff Tannen - “Back to the Future” Arther Fleck - “Joker” Carlo Rizzi - “The Godfather” Tommy DeVito “Goodfellas” Collin Sullivan - “The Departed” Bill “The Butcher” Cunning - “Gangs of New York”
  • @zero2nfinite
    Samuel Norton from Shawshank Redemption should've been in this list!
  • Excellent #1 choice! Commodous definitely got what he deserved in the end.
  • Scar certainly did get his comeuppance! Not only was he evil in killing his own brother to gain the throne, but he was also evil in blaming it all on Simba (and making him believe it really was his fault)! 😡 I'm glad both Simba AND the pride were informed Scar was the traitor and murderer. And betraying his hyena lackeys by calling them "the enemy" goes to show if one denies someone, they'll deny them in return.
  • @olvialee7221
    Best scene ever in The Princess Bride Ingio Montoya kills the villain with an iconic line
  • Note - Count Rugga's injuries inflicted on Inigo during the fight a stab to each shoulder. After he "slashed" Inigo's father's heart, he slashed Inigo's cheeks. Inigo's pays back Rugga in reverse order of what was inflicted upon him. Shoulder stabs, cheek slashes and finally a slash to the heart (for his father).

    My list: Thulsa Doom and his cronies in Conan the Barbarian; The Emperor in Return of the Jedi; Beloq and the Nazis in Raiders of the Lost Ark; Carter Burke in Aliens; the two murderers in A History of Violence; the Union soldiers on the frontier in Dances With Wolves; the entire city gang in The Crow; Angier in The Prestige; Khan in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; the Armitage family in Get Out; and last but not least, the entire Brotherhood of the Wolf in Brotherhood of the Wolf. (Yeah, that's 11, so what, my list.)

    Did the Joker title this video? "You get what you FUCKIN' DESERVE!"
