Villain Hall of Fame
After watching several classic 80s movies and shows over the weekend, I decided to create a Villain Hall of Fame. This may one day be on a separate page, but I doubt it. Anyway, the inaugural class consists of Al Leong and Patrick Kilpatrick. Both men get lifetime achievement awards for being bad guys in the background of almost every action movie and TV show since the 80s.
Patrick Kilpatrick gets a special nod for his defining role as the Sandman in Death Warrant.
Ah, Al Leong. Truly a giant in the field of cinematic villainy. He has had so many roles (most of them involving him dying a few seconds after he shows up onscreen) that is it hard to choose his greatest role. I think it is a tie between "Wing Kong hatchet man" in Big Trouble in Little China and Minh, due to a great fight scene in Rapid Fire.
Congratulations to both of them, and if you haven't seen any of their movies, wow.
