23. Castor Troy Face/Off
Castor Troy is a really vicious villain. At the beginning of the film, he is played by Nicholas Cage, who establishes him as a gross, wild, criminal who has little regard for life or his actions. Later on, Castor Troy has his face swapped with the protagonist Sean Archer, and is now played by John Travolta. Played by Travolta, he is not quite as grotesque as in the films introduction, but watching him taunt the protagonist with his own face is tragic. The character lets up a little bit and loses credibility as a villain when he shies away from a clear sexual attraction to his enemys daughter while wearing the mans face. Of course, this is something none of us wouldve been happy to watch anyway, so maybe its for the best.
22. Randall Boggs Monsters Inc.
Randall is, in my opinion, the most evil of Pixars villains. And why do I think this? Because his plan was actually pretty damn cruel, and his motivations werent nearly sufficient to justify it. He was a jealous monster with a sick idea to become the top scarer at Monsters Inc. Randall was willing to abduct human children from their homes and insert a machine onto them that would forcibly steal their screams. From the looks of what that thing did to his little partner, its likely that these innocent children would have been killed. Thats actually a pretty horrific plan when you think about it.
21. Saruman The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Personally, Im not a fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy; pretty sacrilegious since I live in New Zealand, huh? Still, a phenomenon as big as this trilogy has to be acknowledged, and Saruman always stuck out to me as the standout villain of the franchise. Saruman is a representation of the corruption of power. He turns on Gandalf, who trusts him as a mentor. He is cruel to his subjects and very threatening, but its too bad that his death scene was cut from the films.
