Live Poll: Unforgettable Black Villains
Intro: From time to time, black actors played unforgetable villains. Which of these villains is the most unforgettable? Suggestions: Aiming for 25 options. Please suggest just iconic or at least very good or otherwise interesting black villains, not an extra actor playing a junkie at the corner for 10 seconds. Please villains in Movies, no TV-Series, no documentations, no animated. List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls507169428/ List (Part II): https://www.imdb.com/list/ls507671602/ Poll (Part I): https://www.imdb.com/poll/fd2qEZw7Aj8/ Poll (Part II): Let's see, if we get enough other unforgettable black villains to fill it.

25 options reached. I consider this list as ready to go. (except when there are necessary corrections). I still take suggestions. If there are better suggestions, I'd replace single options. But now further suggestions have to be excellent.

I cut the spoiler image, so I can also remove the spoiler hint in the intro.

I just kicked Ike Turner and Albert because of the poor quality of the available images. Baron Samedi and Candyman do have very much better images on IMDb, compared to the others and are true bad guys. Candyman is a former victim, but I know there might be still better options.

Just kicked the guy from Hotel Ruanda for Dr. Douglas Grey because the image is better and he is more vile. He is more crafty and clever because of his job as a psychatrist. And I think he is more like unforgetable.

FYC: Dr. Facilier Mo'Nique in Precious Jake in Fresh I think you should stick to one picture of Lil'Ze (and include the child and adult version in the entry), the reason is pure logic: it's character-driven poll so having two separate pictures for the same character will add confusion and split the votes, preventing the eventuality to have him on the Top 5 for instance. Apollo Creed was a cocky showman but Rocky gave him a lesson of humility, nevertheless, he was the one who allowed Rocky to have a shot at the title and the real antagonism in the film was Rocky's own lack of self-confidence. I think Apollo comes the closest to a 'villain' in the second film but he's such an endearing character of the series that it's not very fair to have him among so many legitimate bad guys. Nothing to say about Clubber Lang, that dude was a beast. Marcellus Wallace is a villain all right but I can't see someone giving him the edge over Jackson as Jules...

I've made a Part II list which is linked in the intro and will fill some of the suggestions which were made into it, but not all. I search for unforgettable black villains. Which means not every black villain. please try to find the best possible black villain no wheter if it is a especially good performance or a very distinct black villain character in a popular movie or independent gem, which many people have seen and will remember. It's also a poll-idea for honoring the actors for their courage to do so and did outstanding interesting/good/impressive performances.

Correction: From time to time, black actors played unforgettable villains. And please add the character name in the last option.
