Movie/TV villains of the 80s Part 1
Movie/TV villains were colorful, foreign an full of fun. Keep It Oldskool remembers and wants to help you remember some of the best villains of the 80s
"Calderone" Miami Vice
It took Crocket and Tubbs 2 seasons to track, find and kill him. He killed Tubbs brother and was the reason Tubbs came down to Miami. Calderone was a composite of cartel heads of the drug culture of the 80s. He was a ruthless, cold hearted killer
,
"JR Ewing" Dallas
Fewer villains have became more beloved the JR Ewing. From the way he undermined his brother Bobby and serial cheating he did on his wife Sue Ellen, nobody did more dirt on TV for as many years as JR did. When JR was shot it was any one's guess who did it. Everyone hated JR. And we loved him for it
"Max Zorin" A View To a Kill
Bond villain Max Zorin like most psychopaths thought killing was funny. Born with genius level intelligence Max decided he was going to take over the world. Out to stop him was a campy James Bond. Armed with a high IQ and a tall Black woman bodyguard Max thought he had all the angles covered. Not one of the best Bond films but Max Zorin was a very memorable villain.
"Alexis Colby" Dynasty
Who else thinks that mama Kardashian watches old episodes of Dynasty to develop new ideas on how to ingratiate her way into her children's lives? The ex-wife of Blake Carrington and the bane of his new wife Krystle existence. Alexis was out to run her children's live and break up a marriage. Few villains were ever so bad and BAD as she was.
"Hans Gruber" Die Hard
The first villain to find out that you can't kill Bruce Willis,you can only watch him go bald. Hans Gruber the German terrorist figured that it would be hard to rob "Nakatomi Corp" but he had no idea that a Twinkie eating cop and a barefoot estranged husband/policeman from another city would make it impossible.
"Boss Hogg" Dukes of Hazzard"
The fact that Boss Hogg was kind of dumb did not take away from the fact that every week he had a plan to get richer and lock up for good the Duke boys. Boss Hogg and his inept brother in law were villains but never in a real harmful life of death kind of way.
"Victor Maitland" Beverly Hills Cop
Victor Maitland the art gallery owner and drug dealer got way more then he bargained for
when a streetwise cop with a "baby afro" came to town to look into the death of childhood friend. Like most villains in the 80s Victor thought he was to smart for the law but seemed to make simple mistakes that could be picked up and brought down rather easily.
This was not a list of the greatest Movie/TV villains. This was a list of Keep It Oldskool's
favorite ones. Please comment below on some of your favorites and as always
