10 Dumb Villain Schemes Even A Child Could Have Stopped

5. The Gingerdead Man - The Gingerdead Man

The Gingerdead ManThe Plan: Executed serial killer Millard Findlemeyer (Gary Busey) manages to transfer his spirit into that of...a gingerbread man (long story short, his ashes get mixed in with a gingerbread mix, someone gets their blood in there, and some electricity kick-starts it for good measure). His plan? To kill everyone. The Flaw: Looking for a water-tight plot in a film like this is utterly pointless, but even so, the whole premise of having a villain made out of gingerbread just makes him so easily defeated. Aside from the fact that he'd probably become a soggy mulchy mess if you so much as poured a glass of milk over him, his being edible makes him exceedingly easy to do away with, as he learns at the film's climax, when one character bites his head off, and then proceeds to wash him down with a carton of the white stuff.
