20 Movie Villains Who Were Unbelievably Petty

11. Iosef Tarasov - John Wick

Creed 3 Michael B Jordan
Lionsgate

The four John Wick films all follow on from each other in a pretty straightforward way. The events of each movie are informed by the previous, as the story of John (Keanu Reeves) being dragged back into the underworld he left and trying to get out again was at the core of the entire quadrilogy.

As said, John was out, something that seemed to be impossible, and he was all but forced to revisit the life he tucked away under the ground of his garage because of one man, Alfie Allen's Iosev Tarasov.

The young criminal, who was little more than a nepo-baby of the gangster world thanks to his powerful father, had an attitude and an ego that far outweighed his actual personality. He tried to intimidate and bully Wick into selling him his car, and his pride was injured when he was knocked back.

Most people may have taken that on the chin and moved on, but Iosef decided to track John down, attack him in his home, and kill the dog he received posthumously from his recently deceased wife as something to love and cherish. Just because John wouldn't sell him a car that wasn't for sale.
