Your Favorite Antiheroes

Who are your favorites?

an·ti·he·ro
noun
a protagonist who lacks the attributes that make a heroic figure, as nobility of mind and spirit, a life or attitude marked by action or purpose, and the like.

I'll get it started:

Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) "Big Trouble in Little China"

Riddick from Pitch Black: "Back to the ship, huh? Just huddled together, until the lights burn out? 'Til you can't see what's eating you? Is that the big plan?"

Oh Dae-su (Min-sik Choi) "Oldboy"

I was stumped for a moment there, then I came up with these:

Chris McCandless from Into the Wild
William Foster from Falling Down
Mad Max from The Road Warrior
Mona Bergeron from Vagabond
Don Lope de Aquirre From Aquirre: the wrath of God
Carlito Brigante from Carlito's way

"Give me your eyes!"

And lastly: "Why don't you stop being so good to me, boss"

Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
