50 GREATEST FICTIONAL BADASSES

#25 – MILTON from Drive Angry In 3D. I’ve got that one buddy that calls me a film snob for some reason. I have no clue why. I mean, I love Nic Cage movies for Christ’s sake (well, maybe not The Wicker Man; I’m not that off my rocker). I love the mega-acting — that style where he’s out of control and just plain nuts (Film Critic Vern coined this term, where over-acting isn’t really the right word for what he excels at). 

In Drive Angry, he plays a completely insane escaped convict from Hell. And he’s just about the coolest, meanest, craziest sociopath on screen. Translated: only Nic Cage could play him. 

Don’t believe me? Watch this amazing clip where he gets in a gunfight while having sex. This is why cinema was created:

Lastly, I applaud any film where the hero literally drinks beer from the villain’s skull at the end.
