Nazis make better villains than Soviets.

I'm not worthy!!!!

I took out the tiger with a can of mace...but the shopkeeper and his son were a different story altogether........... 😖hifty:

I had to beat them to death with their own shoes.

😛

Err... you lost me there.

Del Preston.

Legendary Roadie.

In Waynes World 2.

Played by Ralph Brown (almost reprising his role in 'Withnail and I'.)

Ah... been a long time since I saw that. Never was a big fan. I liked the Alice Cooper bit though... but then Alice Cooper is cool.

Okay, cheers.

No probs, noone should have to miss out on a monologue like that...
😄

Yours didn't work too well, got another. Quite funny.

Ahhhh sorry man....

Worked last I checked. Those damned filthy baboons at youtube.

Well, it worked, but it paused every 5 seconds.

Ahhhh A slow bandwidth day eh...?

Prolly.. dunno.

Nazis! Nazis! Nazis!!!

So villainous that they were memorable as villians.

Unlike those darn charisma-less Russkies.

So you like Nazis? 😉

I Likes my Nazis bad.

Had the Nunchaku clothes hanger dude just acted as blandly as the soviets did, Raiders couldnt have worked.

Indy is an morally ambigous role. So you REALLY have to have a decent bad guy/total and utter bastard to balance that against.

If the raiders Nazis were "Nice" Nazis, it wouldn't have worked.

True. But the bad guy balance in Raiders was flawless. In TLC there was a similiar construction but I felt de nazi colonel was just mean for being mean. Dietrich I felt was a very good go-between for Belloq and Toht... Brilliant.

Yeah...but you do actually get people like that IRL where they are often mean for meanness' sake.

I agree. Its is a paradigm of villiany. That movie'll never get old, for me.

Yeah peeps can be mean... but in general I like baddies that have more ambiguity to them. They make a longer impression. For instance, compare the baddies from Die Hard 1 en Die Hard 3... same family, same opponent, same intentions... but Rickman's lasts longer than Irons'. Why? Because we don't really get a grasp on what he's after, plus he's charming as well. Irons' baddie is just out for money and revenge.

The 'sympathetic villian' angle.

I agree.

I just think that in Indy IV they went for the the 'just-pathetic villain' angle. 😛
