Zes badass filmschurken die we vergeten zijn

De website Uproxx.com heeft een lijst online gezet met zes badass filmschurken die we eigenlijk alweer lang en breed vergeten zijn. En ook al heeft de lijst een paar hele vette karakters en films, onze favoriet gaat uit naar Frank Nitti uit The Untouchables (1987) van Brian De Palma.

4. Frank "The Enforcer" Nitti

Brian De Palma's "The Untouchables" is an enjoyable classic and one of the few Kevin Costner movies that do no suck, though "3000 Miles to Graceland" it is not. But if you were to name the villain of this flick, it would probably be Robert De Niro as Al Capone, right? That famous baseball bat scene, where he's totally bashing some poor sucker's skull in? It was a great performance, I give Bobby that, but his character cannot hold a candle to one of Capone's main thugs, Frank Nitti (played by Billy Drago).

Nicknamed "The Enforcer" Nitti was responsible for supplying the biggest amount of ass in the movie and thoroughly kicking it for our enjoyment. He was the guy who dresses as a cop, went straight into a heavily guarded Police Station, killed a material witness in one of the biggest mob trials in Chicago's history... and then calmly walked out the back door. Seriously, this guy was the movie Joker of 1987. No wonder he was able to kill Sean "Jesusf-ck" Connery when he just felt like it.

But the biggest accomplishment of Frank Nitti is in the way he died - thrown off a tall building and smashing face first into a car below. Not only should a frame by frame reenactment of this scene be featured in every dictionary under the term "Holy F-ck!" but it is also the only time in history when Kevin Costner (the guy who killed Nitti) looked... well... pretty gosh darn badass.
