Mmmm O-Ren and Anton were pretty intimidating but I'm not sure they were remembered for their short temper, sure they had to show they meant business but they didn't strike as excitable characters.How about the two others, now?

Thanks for the suggestions :) I have a few comments regarding some of them:- The Joker strikes me as a histrionic and egomaniac sociopath, there must be some anger boiling inside but it's never translated into the kind of behavior short-tempered people would display, and the smile even conveys the idea that it's just an act that he actually enjoys... besides, the list was rather balanced but I can say adios to any suspense if I add the Joker. Quoting albstein, Nolan always wins!(good call with Jessep though)- Speaking of keeping the list balanced, I just removed my own inclusion of Jules Winnfield, because I know he'll kill the poll too, and for the wrong reasons. He's certainly a bad moro you don't want to mess up with but after second thoughts, I would say that there's a fine line between being genuinely angry and pulling angry, volcanic tirades. Jules is a guy who's in total control of himself (so much for the short temper) so when he gets "angry" at someone, you can tell it's meant to scare the hell out of him, in other words, it's just an act. Jules reminds me of these corporate manager-figures who talk loudly and furiously in the phone to show who's the boss and when they hang off, they're all smile and smooth talk again.I'm still waiting for insights about Charles Bronson and Barry Egan.- Captain Byron Hadley is a tough one, it's one of these cases where you can't tell whether it's part of the job of if the guy has really some issues, to be honest, I lean toward the second option, the problem is that Hadley is only in a few key scenes but doesn't play the kind of 'pivotal' roles that makes his anger a plot-driver, just like the other characters. There are a few supporting roles in the list, but of scene-stealing and/or Oscar-nominated level. Hadley is "good", but I wouldn't want people to vote for him just because he's in the most popular movie of all time.

Don't know about the original but the DeNiro version of Max Cady should DEFINITELY be on this list.

I'm going to suggest some character the you can use to replace some characters, especially, Gny. Sgt. Hartman whose mind was really on sex. He was just acting like the stereotypical Marine drill sergeant who supposed to do that in order to tear down a little bit of the recruit's personality in order to make a disaplined soldier. It is that he goes way off on the sex angle. Of the characters I'm going to suggest, one might not make it because he is a mob boss who orders others to do his work for him and therefore, violent enough. But make no mistake about it. He is barely keeping his anger in check... Doyle Lonnegan and also Lt. Wm. Snyder from "The Sting." Popeyes Doyle from The French Connection. The Bond villains: Largo from "Thunderball" and "Never Say Never Again". Franz Sanchez And Dario in "Licence to Kill" Two face from the Batman movies. (Even the toddlers said he had some serious anger management issues.)
