10 Movie Villains Who Died Happy

8. The Predator - Predator

Look past that hideous maw and there's genuinely joyous feeling radiating from the titular extraterrestrial warrior at the end of the original Predator.

After all, the Yautja are a proud race of aliens, and when hero Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) defeats one in the movie's climax, it seems positively delighted that it met its death at the hands of such a worthy combatant.

That, and it's got one final chickens**t surprise for Dutch, as it activates a self-destruct device built into its suit, which just so happens to be a mini-nuke that damn-near razes the entire damn jungle, leaving Dutch lucky to be alive.

In the moments before the bomb detonates, the Predator even lets out a deep cackle that eerily mimics a recording of Dutch's teammate Billy (Sonny Landham) from earlier in the film.

The creature straight-up uses its final seconds of life to thoroughly troll Dutch, and appears absolutely thrilled by the opportunity to do so. Bless.
