Who thought the party crasher was good.


My title explains my question.

When i first saw him i thought this is going to be a good baddie and he didnt disappoint.

Who agrees with me

Colonel Quaritch's ancestor?

Stephen Lang is the man. He's superb in this. I wish he had more screen time.

Yeah Stephen Lang really makes this movie! His over the top performance makes him an awesome villian.

Whenever Im in a situation where I have a second call with my sister in a day, I always start the call with:

"hello! its me... again!"

Agree, pkjoker. He's a great bad guy. He elevates the film and makes it seem not quite so... 1991.

i just saw this for the first time since i've seen it in theaters and wow...its almost 20yrs old and Lang's barely changed when you compare to Avatar. dude must use the same magic powder Johnny Depp does. :P

Check out Lang in Crime Story as David Abrams and as Special Agent Winstead in Public Enemies. Very serious roles and less of the mental guy. He's a fantastic actor who seems to be able to play a variety of different roles well.

He was cool. Crazy and violent, but well-meaning in his mind. He was also hilarious. He was an awesome villain in an awesome film. :)

reply

I'm watching it on TV and I just now realized that he is the Colonial from Avatar...wow

The Party Crasher was awesome, really cool villian with some good one-liners. Some of my favorites are:

"You sacrifice pawns"

"That was a riveting performance"

"I'm about to crash another Par-tay"

reply

The Party Crasher was such a great villain. He was like a Batman comic-book villain but ramped up to 100. The scenes where he was at his computer and kept repeating "From Me to You! From Me to You!" was really intense and creepy, especially for a comedy film.

Definitely one of my favourite 1990s movie villains.

Agreed with the OP! I like it too!
