7. Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando) - Apocalypse Now (1979)
If the mundaneity of war doesnt get to you, it may get to your commander, and if hes anything like chrome-headed egotist Colonel Kurtz, then youre really in for a world of shit. Taking power hunger to the extreme and forming his own private army simply because the American forces just werent tough enough, Colonel Kurtz is in one man every reason why you should remain wary of your superiors. Imagine serving under him youre either going to be one of the people he beheads for pleasure or one of the guys he dresses up in makeup and a loincloth, before taking your gun and instead giving you a bow and arrow for defence. The war movie world claims that serving under a rogue commander is rare, but you may end up being one of those unfortunate people, with your National Service ended immediately but with your military pension plan completely undermined.
