Fighting for second place in my bad ass roles are the Terminator <the original> and the drill instructor out of Full Metal Jacket.
My baddest of bad though is a clear winner - Ben Kingsley as Don in Sexy Beast, the guy was mental!
Go on then, who's yours?

I wouldn't call the drill instructor in Full Metal Jacket a baddie. He trained his men very well. Private Pyle would have been suicidal in civilian life anyway.

They arguably did, though van Cleef is still meant to be "The Bad" (personally I think he is uglier than Eli Wallach as well!)
Confused?
"In the theatrical trailer, Angel Eyes is "The Ugly" and Tuco "The Bad," which is the reverse of their designations in the actual film. This is because the Italian title translated into English is actually The Good, the Ugly, the Bad, not The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and the Italian trailer had "The Ugly" and "The Bad" in that order. When the trailer was transferred to English, The Ugly and The Bad were not reversed to coincide with the altered title, causing the incorrect designations. " imdb.com

Duel - that truck was pretty bad-ass, and quite scary first time I saw it, but it was only really in one film, and an episode of The Incredible Hulk
As already stated, Gary Oldman in Leon plays a genuinely scary person that you would not like to meet in real life, and he does tend to - mostly - play those sorts of characters.
Similarly, I'd not want to meet Samuel L Jackson in his role in Pulp Fiction. Or John Travolta.
Arnie in The Terminator was bad and scary at the time, much scarier that the Predator in Predator, but that might have been because you knew the Predator was up against Arnie!
As for Richard Gecko (Quentin Tarantino) in Dusk Till Dawn...

I honestly think Sexy Beast is a shite film with only McShane acting instead of overacting like Kingsly et al.

But he loved his Momma and wore a lovely fur coat...and he was Denzel Washington! What's not to love?

not my nomination (and a disappointing film) but I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Tom Cruise in Collateral.

Yea I think we are stuggling now!
Di Nero in Angel Heart was good as Lou Cyfer, how about Robin Williams in one hour photo?

Animal Mother - Full Metal Jacket Not a baddie as such but certainly a double 'ard b*stard.

"You think we waste Gooks for 'freedom'? This is a slaughter. If I'm gonna get my balls blown off for a word, my word is poontang." - Animal Mother

Bad reviews?
It's Tarantino at his best!
Superb plot, perfect casting, hilarious characterisations from de Niro, perfect pace and the usual great dialogue. And Pam is a big, busty babe.
Where did you read the reviews? The Daily Mail?!

How about The Bride in Kill Bill?
In what way is she not a "baddie"? We don't know her background but she appears to have made a conscious choice to become part of a gang of mercenary assassins

In reply to Southern Man: a bit late to this but 100% agree. amazing film to boot, a million times better than something a million times more expensive from the holywood treadmill.
im sure this has been suggested but the Queen from Aliens is pretty baadsass? or is she just a survivor in which case not so badass?

Jose Ferrer in Whirlpool. So bad-ass that he hypnotises himself immediately after a gall bladded operation so that he can ignore the pain, leave the hospital, murder someone and frame someone else for it, which was all part of a longer-term scheme. And like all the best baddies, he's by far the most charismatic character in the film!

To help you narrow it down, let's set a rule that I alluded to very early on. They have to survive the film.
That means no Terminator or Sexy Beast or Unicron, but (for example) Mickey Knox is in with a shout.
Still an awkward grey area if they survive the film but their future fate is assured (e.g. the very end of 10 Rillington Place)

In reply to Blue Straggler: I nominate the coin-operated, self-propelled oven in A Grand Day Out. The only reason it failed to whack Wallace with a huge f*ck off truncheon was that its money ran out. It pursued the two of them all over the surface of the Moon and they only just managed to escape. Even then the oven succeeded in ripping two sizeable chunks off their rocket as it blasted off. Per your rule, it survived and passed the time contentedly skiing up and down cheese mountains.
Proper hardcore baddy that oven.

It's finally come to me!
The winner, even though the film is a bit pish, has to be Josh Hartnett in Lucky Number Slevin. He's so badass that the audience doesn't quite twig that he's a baddie. Yes, his overall goal is to wipe out two baddies, but he is a relentless obsessive and happy to use and abuse anyone to achieve his goal.And his plan is so long-term, meaning he is totally cold-hearted and ruthless.

In reply to Blue Straggler: It's easy to do 'cold hearted' when you're Josh Hartnett and you can't actually act.
