10 Most Incompetent Movie Villains

10. Dennis T. Nedry (Jurassic Park)

Universal PicturesUniversal PicturesThe secondary antagonist of Steven Spielberg€™s classic Jurassic Park, Nedry is extremely different from some of the more thuggish, physically domineering inclusions on this list. A computer programmer for Jurassic Park (with a last name that is an anagram of nerdy), Nedry is out of shape and physically weak €“ however, his villainy doesn€™t require him to be tough. The employee of Jurassic Park is hired by Biosyn to steal embryos from the cutting-edge facility which will allow them to catch up on the years of research. His financial woes combined with a low salary mean that Dennis is forced to accept Biosyn€™s offer and betray his previous employers. Nedry may ostensibly be an IT expert but while getting past the park€™s computerised security systems the buffoon accidentally shuts down all the electrical fences. This allows the facility€™s many dinosaurs to escape and cause chaos. When trying to escape the idiotic villain manages to crash his jeep and is confronted by a young Dilophosaurus. He may work in a lab which deals only with Dinosaurs but this doesn€™t prevent Nedry from being ignorant about the peril he is in. Nedry€™s lacklustre athleticism means that he is unable to escape on foot and the juvenile lizard spews poison into his eyes before devouring him alive. That€™s a big eat for a small Dinosaur€ If the undercover Biosyn spy had an ounce of competence he could have gotten away with his crimes and been sipping cocktails on a beach somewhere. Instead, he is now Dino-faeces.
