Super Villian Decisions, and what you would have done

Hello all

Inspired by such things as 'Rules to being an evil overlord", "Surviving a vampire hunter", etc. I thought I'd start this thread.

Pick a movie, and a few errors the main villian made, and suggest your ideas to correct them.


I'll start

Street Fighter (the Movie)
Saget, Mistake #1: He disobeyed a curfew in a city under direct military control. Tsk tsk
Saget, Mistake #2: Taking Ken and Ryu at there apparent word and not searching them, or having them searched by some hot girls. Anyone that tries to con you for money, you try to have killed, that suddenly becomes friendly with you, just begs to be searched.

Bison, Mistake #1: Not having Ken and Ryu searched, even if they exposed Chung Li's plan to blow them up. See Saget #2
Bison, Mistake #2: Not having his base more secure. i.e having had his own people try to find access ways in and not sealing them off.
Bison, Mistake #3: Letting the good guys in his fortress live to watch Blanka attack the civilan hostages. Just shot them all.
Bison, Mistake #4: Agreeing to fight Guile hand 2 hand, 1 on 1, and then fighting fairly from the get go. Am I the only man that thinks villians should lie about stuff like that?

Star Wars Esp 4

The Empire failed to hire a small R2 unit to anaylze the plans of the Death Star.

Also they failed to realise that u could in fact hyperspace into a system on the OTHER side of a large planet.

Or even put grating on the chute thing which they tried to aim for.. tsk tsk

If I was any Bond villian, I'd make my femal employees very ugly so there's be no way some suave secret agent would win them over to their side with sex. And I'd try to make my evil lair so that it doesn't automatically blow up when someone trips over an extension cord. Remember in the Man With the Golden Gun when that guy was pushed into the liquid helium tank, and the base was up in flames a few minutes later?

Not exactly a "supervillian" perse, but I was watching Legend of the Drunken Master earlier today (kickass Jackie Chan movie) and I have but one small bit advice for the Evil Brit trying to take the artifacts:

Use guns.


ROTJ is also a good example:
Stop being a dumbass and send in your fleet to crush the Rebels.

Take Han & Co. in a shuttle so they can be put someplace safe, not leave them in a forest, open to ambush.

Letting enemy sabetours land near your shield generator is a piss poor idea next to capturing their shuttle.

Wouldn't that acutally make it easier. Presuming Mr. Bond could get it up. These ugly women would be dying for a piece of 007 even more so than the good looking women. Still, Bond would really have to work for it in this case. :twisted:

Can you imagine Bond having to go for it with the lady in From Russia With Love who was responsible for the opperation? (I can't remember what she was called but I'm thinking of the one who had the poisonous spike on her shoe). She wasn't exactly ugly but not Bond's usual type, plus she was a bit of a ball buster.

You could also see what Bond is made of by having your important staff positions filled by homosexual men. :twisted: C'mon Bond, it's for the good of your country, even the good of the world. :D
