    I don't think The Green Goblin would be a good Bond villain, but I would love to see what William Dafoe would be like as a, well written, Bond villain.

    .............. Hans Gruber (Michael St. Clair ). :))

    And it just occurred to me that Silvio Berlusconi might be the closest thing to a real-life Bond villain... :o

    I think Philip Seymour Hoffman's villain was interesting but woefully underutilized in MI:3. Hoffman is a fine actor, and would make a great adversary for Bond.

    Laurence Olivier as Dr. Christian Szell in film 'Marathon Man' was truly a great, Bondian villain, and the infamous "Is it safe?" torture scene was worthy of Fleming. Olivier would also have made a good Blofeld.

    Here's an odd one for you: Rutger Hauer as the terrorist Wulfgar in the underrated, underseen Sly Stallone flick 'Nighthawks.' I think Hauer would have been an ideal foe for Dalton's Bond.

    Dr Szell from Marathon Man always reminds me a bit of a Bond-esque villain.
    Now, they only eat rat.

    Tom Hardy's version of Bane in the Dark Knight returns ... Very menacing.

    What about Andy Robinsons SCORPIO from Dirty Harry?
    with regards also to agent charmed and dangerous suggestion for Bane
    another great choice ,but he did remind me of that bloke in MAD MAX 2 the Humungus?
    By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

    Health Ledger's Joker Vs' Daniel Craig's Bond would be awesome.
  • NeverSayDieNeverSayDie Posts: 495MI6 Agent
    Health Ledger's Joker Vs' Daniel Craig's Bond would be awesome.

    Silva from Skyfall is very similar to Ledgers Joker.

    True, but i meant the Joker not inspired by Silva.

    Great choice Wulfgar from Nighthawks as a villain for Dalton Bond's...Wulfgar vs Pam Bouvier is my dream

    Well, Dafoe technicly was a Bond villian once in the James Bond video game: Everything or Nothing. They used his voice and likeness in the game.


    A villian that comes to my mind is Alessandro Gassman playing Gianni Chellini in The Transporter 2.
    He was a very Franz Sanchez-like Villian with a Dario like appearance. I'm very font of the drug baron/ business typed villians. They seem realistic cold hearted criminals that you can inmagine excisting in the real world. His henchwomen, the femme fatale from the same movie was very Bond inspired as well.

    EDIT:

    Just saw the movie "Léon", great movie and good god was Gary Oldman a good villian in that one! He needed to be mentioned in this thread!

    I think General Francis X Hummel (Ed Harris) from The Rock would be an interesting villain.

    As the OP said- Alan Rickman. That voice was born to caress Bond villain lines ("No doubt you have realized the splendour of my conception") rather than tell Harry Potter off for forgetting his homework.
  • bobbypbobbyp Posts: 4MI6 Agent
    Oliver Reed in "Mordi e fuggi" (a terrorist) vs Timothy Dalton's Bond could be interesting
  • bobbypbobbyp Posts: 4MI6 Agent
    Another good one....the terrific Screwface from Marked for Death....a great villain (very scary)

    I've always wanted Ben Kingsley as a bond villain, his range as an actor is mesmerising!

    Christopher Plummer as a villain would be great, I think the pairing of Christopher Plummer and Daniel Craig would be awesome again and after reading DMC Plummer is all I could think of with Min-Sik Choi as his henchman!

    The silent, menacing drug dealer and murderer Will Gaines (played by rock star Gregg Almann) from Rush (1991) coul be a cool villain in A Dalton's Bond movie....

    He was featured as the leading Bond villain in the Everything Or Nothing video game! He'd make quite a good villain on screen
