Top 10 Best Bullies from 80's Movies

[Aggie]

Some random person made this list but who doesn't love a good 80's movie bully? http://oldschool.tblog.com/post/1970060738

Honorable Mention #1. "Principal Richard Vernon" from The Breakfast Club (1985) played by Paul Gleason - This list was not really intended to include adults, but I thought the Principal character from this film was quite the bully, so I decided to include him at least as an honorable mention. Also considered "Principal Ed Rooney" from Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) played marvelously by Jeffrey Jones, but he turns out to get bullied more himself so he probably should not be included after all.

Honorable Mention #2. "Scut Farkas" from A Christmas Story (1983) played by Zack Ward - The movie was released in the 80s, though the story takes place back in the late 30s-early 40s, so I wanted to give him at least an honorable mention. "He had yellow eyes! So, help me, God! Yellow eyes!"

10. "Hardy Jenns" from Some Kind of Wonderful (1987) played by Craig Sheffer

9. "Tommy" from Valley Girl (1983) played by Michael Bowen

8. "Chet Donnelly" from Weird Science (1985) played by Bill Paxton - "You're stewed, buttwad!" From Weird Science you could also include the pair of "Ian" and "Max" played by Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Rusler respectively though their dumping a slushy on the guys at the mall pales in comparison to all of the hilarious scenes featuring "Chet."

7. "Steff McKee" from Pretty In Pink (1986) played by James Spader

6. "Roy Stalin" from Better Off Dead (1985) played by Aaron Dozier - "Alright, who wants to hold my clipboard?"

5. "Mick McAllister" from Teen Wolf (1985) played by Mark Arnold - This guy was actually 28 years old when he played a high school bully.

4. "Ace Merrill" from Stand By Me (1986) played by Kiefer Sutherland - "Suck my fat one, you cheap dime store hood."

3. "Stan Gable" from Revenge of the Nerds (1984) played by Ted McGinley - He and the rest of the Alpha Betas were classic bullies until the very end. "Those nerds are a threat to our way of life!"

2. "Biff Tannen" from Back to the Future (1985) played by Thomas F. Wilson - Also reprised the role in the sequels including 1989's Part II. I like what Ryan Zimmerman had to say about "Biff" in one of his columns on the Like Totally 80s website:
"Biff was a tri-fold bully--- being able to bully in the past, present and future. Whether it was George or Marty, the McFly boys were often at the bad end of a Biff Temper Tannen-trum. But after having a manure truck dumped on his car, and being knocked out by George at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, Biff made like a tree, and got out of there-and continued his bullying ways into the many sequels that followed."

1. "Johnny Lawrence" from The Karate Kid (1984) played by William Zabka - Like I said in my issue on William Atherton, there is no one better at being a bully than Zabka. You have to also include his role as "Greg Tolan" in Just One of the Guys (1985) and as "Chaz Osbourne" in Back to School (1986). Zabka took being a bully to an art form in the 80s. There is some great stuff on him in one of my most popular issues on The Karate Kid which includes the "Sweep the Leg" video. You should definitely go back and check that one out again.

It always bugs me that Zabka doesn't play Stalin in BoD.

Biff was a great bully, but kind of cartoonish. The only one that any kid should have worried about was Chet. A real life Chet would seriously beat the shit out you.

Please try to be less pathetic.

[EliSnow]

Any list that recognizes the contribution that Zabka brought to our culture should be applauded.

Zabka!!

Some of them aren't even "bullies", just douches.

Keifer was a good one though.

And marc would be the character crying in the corner, not the bully.

Nah, he'd be that one smartass douche that always accompanies the bully and just spouts off one liners at the hero.

Jeez, tough crowd. I didn't know Aaron Dozier's mom was in the house.

[EliSnow]

You known, Zabka in Just One of the Guys was one of the most homo-erotic bullies ever. In one scene, after giving someone a wedgie, he walks off with his buddys, weight lifting gloves on and his arms around his buddays.

[TheMojoPin]

Can Spader's character from Less Than Zero get an honorable mention? That always seemed like Steff McKee all growsed up.

Buddy Revell from 3 o'clock high

Is this the movie where the whole day the kid is trying to get out of fighting the kid, and he hangs out in spots with graffiti that says things like "you are safe here"?

If so I remember watching that in school in like 5th grade.

[TripleSkeet]

I thought Matt Dillon in My Bodyguard shouldve made the list.

And as much as I loved it, was Buddy Revel really a bully? I mean he didnt pick on any of the weaker kids, he was just a psycho that didnt like being touched. If you think about it he didnt bother one person the whole movie. They kept going up to him.

[Knowledged_one]

Andrew Dice Clay as the Gooch on Different Strokes and i dont care if its not a movie it was fucking dice as a guy who beat up a midget black kid.

Also couldnt you consider Sgt. Hulka from Stripes a bully also?

[sailor]

Biff was a great bully, but kind of cartoonish. The only one that any kid should have worried about was Chet. A real life Chet would seriously beat the shit out you.

yeah, not like a bully with mad karate skills would fuck you up.

[Slumbag]

I've never seen Pretty in Pink, but I doubt Spader was meaner in that than he was as Rip in Less Than Zero.

He get's a dude addicted to crack, and then forces him to suck dicks to pay him back. That's pretty cold hearted

this is mad long but trust me it's worth the ride...

let me first say this has always bothered me because this statement is complete BULLSHIT. I've seen Karate kid a million times and i think it's an undisputable fact that Johnny was not the bad guy.

let's break this down for real right from the beginning of the movie. It starts on the beach when johnny comes to talk to his ex that is treating him like a real dick. he tries talking to her and she starts being a bitch w/ the radio so he takes it from her so she'd listen. he says, if i give this back will you talk to me? which she replies yes and so he gives it right back to her but of course she turns it up louder. real bitch move. then some new kid, who just moves in from dirty jersey tries to step into business that he should just stay out of, what is he figuring? what an ahole, you just met this broad and don't know this couples history at all, just stay out of it jerkoff. and does johnny beat him up right away even though he knows karate? no he lets daniel come at him and make a fool of himself and he trips him a few times. it isn't until daniel cheap shots him to his face that he karate kicks his ass. and after that cheap shot it was def deserved.

so then nothing big happens for awhile, they beat him up at soccer but that was everyone not just johnny. actually it was more dutch. but back to my point, when's the next time in the movie that daniel gets beat up? it's the halloween party, no one is messing w/ him, and then he decides to pull the whole hose trick and soak johnny while he is rolling a blunt. are you f'n kidding me?

put yourself in those shoes. you're rolling a joint in the bathroom at a party, then some new kid who is hitting on your ex girlfriend pours water all over you and ruins your weed?!?! he deserves that ass whooping and more for that bullshit, every time i watch that scene i root for them to beat him up. what ahole pours water on weed?!?!?

and finally, the end battle and daniel crane kicks him up and wins, what does johnny do? be a sore loser? get in a cheap shot? nope, he hands him the trophy and says you're alright laruso, all signs of a good kid w/ a good heart.

this guy had his heartbroken by that bitch who ends up breaking daniel's heart too and he had to deal w/ the new kid stealing his girl and ruining his weed. there is no way johnny is a bad guy!!! you want the bad guy in that movie besides john cleese of course it's Dutch, that was a bad m'fer, bad to the core. and it's bullshit how in the movie they both get one point when daniel is fighting dutch but they just declare daniel the winner, that part of the movie always bothered me.

Greg tolan yes, chaz osborne definitely. but William Zabka was not a bad guy in karate kid. if you can't tell i feel pretty strongly about the subject

[Dude!]

this is mad long but trust me it's worth the ride...


well, the first 4 words
of that statement are true

[Ocho Cinco]

well, the first 4 words
of that statement are true

if you know the movie i just dropped mad knowledge about an angle you probably never thought of but i'm guessing you don't. it seemed like an apt thread to make my case. i thought it would take longer before someone called my first line out but congrats you did it in the first post right after. didnt' see that coming at all

You know what? You turned me around, as far as karate kid goes. He's still a total dick in Just One Of The Guys.

[TheMojoPin]

Damn, I'm convinced. Zabka totally can't be #1 for KK with how he turns around at the end of the flick.

That wasn't bullying.

That was...love.

what about the don't throw mama from the train lady in the goonies? pretty bad ass.

How the fuck do you not include Moody from "My Bodyguard"?

[TheMojoPin]

A real bully wouldn't do charity work, even for hire.

[A.J.]

Moody was the bully: not the bodyguard the kid hired.

[TheMojoPin]

Oh yeah.

Still, a real bully wouldn't just pussy out over some dropout-for-hire. He had all his henchmen!

hey there i am again.

[KingGeno]

The two bullies from Monster Squad were very mean to Horace. They would call him fat boy, and slap his fat face.

But he wins in the end.

Sorry about that Triple Skeet.

[sr71blackbird]

I thought of Buddy Revell too. Bad ass! I liked how he kinda almost smiled in the end. It was cool, I think because he wanted to stop being a bully in his heart.

[Ogre]

Ogre, you asshole.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ0-QV9ml2w/SSCl0xHArJI/AAAAAAAAATU/hOsyfeOlJCY/s320/ogre.bmp

[TheMojoPin]

Ogre can be argued against since he turned nerd at some point, though he did kill a man along the way:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/C3njjD41f48&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/C3njjD41f48&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Though on the flipside, the nerds used their powers for rape and sexual assault, so who is really the bully here?

[Furtherman]

Ogre is now in those What's In Your Wallet? Commercials as a viking.

[whorehay]

i immediately thought of Zabka. good to see him at #1.
has anyone seen this? kobra kai reunion around the 2 minute mark.
