Profession: Professional Golfer
Power: Six-Shooter & Arrogance
Arch-Nemesis: Happy Gilmore
Shooter McGavin is by far and away the most unassuming Villain of all-time. Shooter stars in the movie Happy Gilmore and is the ultimate jackass. He is a clean cut, professional, well dressed, classy golfer that is loved by kids, adults and grandparents alike, but in reality couldn’t give a rats ass about them. He is in it for the money, the woman, and the prestige of being the worlds greatest golfer and will stop at nothing to get his gold jacket to prove it to everyone. Shooter is arrogant, dumb, classless in his pursuit of dominance, an excellent golfer, and most of all a scumbag to his very core. He is not your typical villain in the sense, but rather someone you love to hate. As portrayed in the movie, he is not physically imposing or smart, but a villain in the sense that he does everything in his power to make sure Happy Gilmore does not become the better player. Here are some examples of villainess: 1) he buys Happy’s grandmothers’ house and threatens to burn it down and piss on the ashes, 2) he dedicates his play in the tour championship to Chub’s memories before Happy can, 3) hires a crazy fan to torture Happy in the pro-am tournament with Bob Barker and thus causes Happy to get into a fist fight with Bob Barker and suspended from play, 4) hires the same crazy fan and in return he drives a Volkswagen and hits Happy on the fairway and causes him to lose his long drive. Those are just some of the examples of Shooter McGavin.
Now I am sure that the other part of Skinned Lion will disagree, but I feel that Shooter McGavin is the best villain of all time for three simple reasons; he is the best jackass antagonist in any movie, you end up enjoying Shooter’s antics more the Happy Gilmore, and for the sheer fact that every time he makes a putt he busts out the six-shooter.
I leave you with this video clip to assert my opinion of Shooter McGavin being the best villain. I hope you all agree with me on this one.
Much love,
Lion
Shooter is a great one.
ReplyDeleteHannibal Lecter is my choice. Also Ed Rooney from Ferris Bueller if we're going with comedies.
Pretty despicable fellow.
ReplyDeleteI'd say Andrew Lewis should be in the running.
ReplyDeleteHannibal Lecter doesn't hold a candle to the classlessness of Shooter McGavin. I regard him as a true Villain, I see Lecter as more of a murderer. As for Andrew Lewis, he is a real life Villain...hahaha
