Today’s group brings us to the decade of grunge music, Bill Clinton, CD players, Operation Desert Storm, Woodstocks ’94 and ’99, fanny packs, Tamagotchi, pogs, boy bands, Beanie Babies, and Friends. So it was a pretty lousy decade, overall. But that shouldn’t prevent you from voting in our ’90s round and proving that one or two ’90s movie villains weren’t that lame! (voting for this round ends March 19 with winners announced that very afternoon! and don’t forget to vote for Group 2!)
And now, the groovy winners of that ’70s group:
Dr. Phibes (55%) swan-songed Swan (45%)!
Taunting French Guard (80%) horrified Colonel Kurtz (44%)!
Nosferatu (64%) attacked & dined on Blackenstein (36%)!
Virgin “The Turk” Sollozzo (70%) found it difficult but not impossible to eliminate Hyman Roth (30%)!
Apollo Creed (55%) short-circuited Mechagodzilla (45%)!
Scorpio (55%) shot down The Gunslinger (45%)!
Ash and Greedo tied, so in a sci-fi coin flip, the winner is Ash!
The Cannibalistic Savage Family (55%) made the Rapist Hillbillies (45%) squeal like pigs!

I was holding out for a Blackenstein victory for this tourney. Dammit. Lesson to me, I should never put all my eggs in Blackenstein’s basket.

i would always like to discuss about General Hummel being a ‘Villain’ he never wants to hurt anyone, wants the government to pay for the people who gave their lives for their country. on the other side couple of big names missing with Agent Smith, T-1000 and Ghostface, but might have missed the post about how you selected.

He’s an adversary to the protagonists hence he’s the villain in the movie. And check out our earlier Villain Madnesses for other great villains.
