welcome to watch mojo and today we'll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
movie villains
who are actually cowards you have no
business here centor
this is a ministry matter no no
let me explain no you don't understand
[Applause]
for this list we'll be looking at the
most popular movie villains who act
tough
but who are actually quite cowardly when
push comes to shove
who do you think is the biggest movie
coward let us know in the comments below
now on to the top 10.
number 10 shooter mcgavin happy gilmore
shooter is perhaps the slimiest villain
found in an adam sandler movie
played wonderfully by christopher
mcdonald shooter certainly thinks he's
mr tough guy and he even trolls happy
the very first time they meet by sending
him into the sprinklers
but he's actually a giant coward he
often backs down from confrontation
like backing away from happy in the bar
and speed walking away from mr larson i
beg to differ
happy gilmore accomplished that feat no
more than an hour ago
well [ __ ] good for happy gilmo my god
granted those are some scary situations
what's not scary is happy's harmless
banter which shooter responds to by
bumbling through some lame response and
walking away
you're in big trouble though pal i eat
pieces of [ __ ] like you for breakfast
you eat pieces of [ __ ] for breakfast
no he can't even beat happy fairly
instead paying a lonely man to heckle
and run over happy with his car
so i'll see you at the next tournament
right oh no that won't be necessary this
was on national tv
gilmore's gone number nine ernst stavros
blofeld
for your eyes only good afternoon mr
bond
don't concern yourself with the pilot
one of my less useful
people blofeld is perhaps the most
famous bond villain
being mentioned or appearing in six of
the original 20 films
takes more than a few props to turn
double 07 into a herald
take more than cutting off your earlobes
blowfall to turn you into a count
i may yet surprise you his final
appearance in the original timeline came
in 1981's
for your eyes only however audiences
never see his face
as the character was embroiled in a
legal dispute at the time
many fans don't want to believe it's
actually him because the depiction is
so out of character and cowardly he
cries bags and whimpers after bond
sticks him with the helicopter landing
skid
and then he simply tossed down a chimney
we can't do it near you
with delicate in stainless
and just like that bond's biggest and
most dangerous antagonist
was dead this entire sequence served as
producer albert r
brockley's middle finger to kevin
mcclory who was claiming rights to the
blofeld character
number eight captain hook peter pan
disney did captain hook nasty turning
him from a terrifying dangerous threat
into wacky comic
oh say relief me please don't let him
get miss me please then again
this is for the kids so we suppose we
can accept it
despite being the big bad of the movie
and one of the most popular villains in
disney history
captain hook is actually quite a goof
custod
peter pan
making a food out of me he's always
being injured in many humorous and wacky
ways
and he's constantly ridiculed by those
around him he's also a massive coward
who panics and stutters whenever things
aren't going his way
whimpers whenever the croc is near and
never puts up an actual fight against
peter pan
it'd be stupid easy to mute me against
this guy
despite his enormous reputation number
seven
umbridge harry potter and the order of
the phoenix
why are the villains of harry potter so
wimpy
peter pettigrew and draco malfoy are
both cowardly wimps
and even though umbridge puts on a
tougher exterior she too crumbles under
pressure
umbrage acts tough whenever she has the
power of real forces behind her like the
dementors or the ministry's politics
but to question my practices is to
question the ministry
and by extension the minister himself
i am a tolerant woman but the one thing
i will not stand for
is disloyalty she's the type of bully
who acts tougher whenever their bigger
stronger friends are around
but are powerless on their own she shows
fear during fred and george's fireworks
display and even runs from the fake
fireworks dragon
she also can't handle the oppressive
atmosphere of the forbidden forest
and whimpers when the centaurs arrive
you have no business here centaur
this is a ministry matter points for
deflecting the arrow and taking one out
though
number six colonel jessup a few good men
based on aaron sorkin's play of the same
name a few good men stars jack nicholson
as united states marine corps
colonel nathan r jessup the colonel
serves as base commander at guantanamo
bay
where a marine named william santiago
was killed as the story progresses the
audience learns that the fierce and
faux-friendly colonel jessup
is actually a massive coward you want
answers
i think i'm entitled you want answers i
want the truth
you can't handle the truth he flies off
the handle whenever he's rightfully
confronted and questioned he grows
furious after being caught in a lie
much like a child but above all he isn't
above sacrificing others and hiding
behind them to save himself
you order the code red i did the job did
you order the code
you're goddamn right i did and that is
the truest sign of a bona fide coward
number five scar the lion king
this hamlet with lions features scar in
the role of claudius
fed up with being overshadowed scar
conspires to have his brother and nephew
killed
yeah be prepared we'll be prepared
for what for the death of the king why
is he sick no fool we're gonna kill him
it's simba too that's cowardly enough
but it's even worse that he had to
create some needlessly elaborate plan
at least claudius had the guts to just
poison hamlet's dad straight out
and when he's confronted by simba in the
hyenas he places the blame on others and
cowers in the corner while pleading for
his life
if that wasn't bad enough he also gets
the cowardly drop on simba by throwing
ash into his face
rather than fight him directly talk
about a complete lack of honor
[Music]
number 4 gaston beauty and the beast
gaston also lacks even a shred of honor
despite his massive frame and frequent
boasting
in fact he's arguably the most cowardly
villain in the disney canon the whole
town's talking about it
it's not right for a woman to read soon
she starts getting ideas
and thinking firstly he shoots a docile
beast in the back to instigate the
rooftop fight and even then the beast is
too dejected to fight back
[Music]
and while we give him credit for going
toe to toe with the beast the fight ends
in a cowardly manner
gaston begs and pleads for his life once
the beast dangles him over the ledge
and when the beast goes to bell gaston
stabs him
again in the back literally
[Music]
attacking defenseless targets from
behind is a universal sign
for coward and gaston does it twice
number three pennywise it chapter two
the second half of it has always been a
little rocky what with the
giant spider and all the 2019 adaptation
stayed relatively faithful to the source
novel and miniseries but tried something
new by having the losers
taunt pennywise to death no seriously
throughout two movies and numerous hours
pennywise is portrayed as this horrible
unimaginably terrifying creature who
both taunts and murders children
literal eater of worlds certainly has
ego to spare
you wanna play truth or dare here's the
truth you're a sloppy [ __ ]
yeah that's right let's dance but when
his victims finally decide to fight back
it literally cowers and cries from the
verbal insults until it's left a wrinkly
shell of its former self
[Applause]
the theme was obvious but it also made
for a really lame
and anti-climactic ending number two
carter burke
aliens i guess you two have met her
i'm burke i'm carter burke i work for
the company
but don't let that fool you i'm really
an okay guy it's hard to imagine a
corporate suit played by paul ryser
being the least bit intimidating so he
wasn't
instead burke does the fake friendly
thing throughout the entire movie and
tries dictating the action from behind
the scenes
it was burke who ordered the colonists
to investigate the spaceship and it was
burke who threw two facehuggers into the
room with ripley and newt
nailed the other one it's history
all so he could get rich by using the
aliens as biological weapons
look those two specimens are worth
millions to the bio weapons division
right
now if you're smart we can both come out
of his heroes
and we will be set up for life on top of
all that
he's a consummate deceiver and when it
finally comes time to face off against
the aliens
burke runs and hides suffice to say
nobody really mourned when he was
gobbled up by one
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few other movie villain cowards who
deserve some honorable mention
the orphanage headmaster deadpool 2
coward runs and begs for mercy when
confronted
i said i'm the wicked who are healed
by my hair vic hoskins jurassic world
he tries pleading with a raptor easy boy
easy hey hey
le casino royale the big bad is just a
coward who owes money to more powerful
people
i'll get the money
tell them i'll get the money money isn't
as valuable to our organization is
knowing who to trust
john's pitch black not nearly the tough
mercenary he portrays himself to be
lotso toy story three embodies the
begs for help then screw the heroes over
anyway trope
just push it push it push it

number one hans landa inglorious
bastards
throughout most of this movie hans landa
acts like the absolute coolest cat in
the world he patronizingly trolls
basically
everyone he comes across he kills jews
without remorse
and he thinks he's untouchable by
orchestrating the final ploy of the
movie
nazi germany was filled with big egos
but landes could fill
all of occupied europe as a versus
medium foundation
that is until aldo says screw the rules
and subjects them to some long-awaited
torment i'm officially surrendering
myself
over to you lieutenant rain when landa
is on the receiving end of a ploy
he screams begs cowers blubbers and
cries
[Applause]
[Laughter]
we don't necessarily blame him we're
just saying that baseball bat guy
showed a lot more bravery than the scary
fearsome jew hunter
