What Makes This Man The Most Terrifying Bond Villain In History 

A Bond movie is defined by the villain, and good actors can take those a long way.

Bloke's just naturally scary! I mean that in the nicest way possible.

He played Hannibal Lecter in the tv show Hannibal.

I will never forget that torture scene it was still disturbing to this day I mean I'm surprised casino Royale got away with the PG-13 rating

I hope that same terrifying presence will be in Fantastic Beasts 3.

what??? How do I find this content / what do I search for? Lmao I would die to see Mikkelsen doing comedy

@@jarrenleow essentially any Danish movie he's in is a comedy outside of the pusher series I'd recommend Adams apples

Says a lot about danish humor

Personally I’d recommend flickering lights, probably one of the funniest movies I’ve ever watched

@@jarrenleow There’s loads of awesome danish comedy movie with mads mikkelsen, highly recommended! Adam’s apples is one of my favorites. The green butchers and Men and chickens are also very cool! All of them directed by anders thomas jensen.

I recently watched “riders of justice” (I think that’s the English title). Great movie! Worth a watch! Best of course in Danish with subtitles 😄 a very danish movie and has this emotional core to its action that you don’t get from mass audience Hollywood movies

@@eZU4nQsWN9pAGsU38aHj Thanks for the recommend. I'll certainly check it out. Is it streaming anywhere, currently?

Period. Hannibal 😍😍

he was wasted in doc strange tho

@@ishowspeedo2411 And he is about to be wasted again in the new Fantastic Beasts movie. Why do they gotta do that to our man like that?

Fun fact: He was also the Danish dub voice of Randall Boggs in Monsters Inc.

@PHLNXS I want to play that game badly, purely because Mads is in it.

@@pedinhuh16 you'll cry during the mads cut scenes

Star Wars Villain ?

I swear to god he should’ve played Dr. Doom in Marvel.

He did it perfectly as Hannibal, sometimes I would just pause mid scenes just to shake my head at how brilliant he was!

While being an utter dork as a person.

Hell, sometimes he'll even play an entirely mute character.

Dork you say?

@@alexanderchance1049 In real life he is an adorkable nerd

He's just a minion pawn who had it coming

Exactly. People were used to the traditional Bond cartoon stuff before this movie. Of course the studios had to go back to the cartoon style again eventually (maybe the success of Marvel movies had a role in that?). It's great that we still got at least one serious Bond movie, that was a bit closer to the Bond books.

@@Daniel__Nobre faithful adaptations? you mean Russia with love? Or on her majestys secret service? Or man with the golden gun?

@@randomhuman97 Oooff..! NO.

Isn't that the point of a bond villain? To be an over the top evil mastermind? God made wealth, god made crime. Who am I to criticize him in good taste? - Some bond villain in the future.

I mean dude didn't have to use his warlord clients money on the stock market, pretty stupid move

@@nathanlatham5651 yes, he's terrible businessman

Love him and his asthma thing

He's just a minion pawn who had it coming.

@@nathanlatham5651 I wouldnt say so. He did that all the time and it worked. He made an attack or "accident" on something connected to wsome stock in order to manipulate the market.When Bond intervened it did not work and the rest is history.

No one can surpass Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter

I think I'm gonna eat your tongue. I've already tasted beef tongue, I could try human now.

@CD ROD Hopkins was perfect for SotL, because we asked an audience had to understand immediately that he was a terrifying monster, and he did that better than anyone could. But...could you imagine him as a therapist? Would you go to a dinner party he threw before he was revealed to be a cannibal? Hell no, id just _assume_ it was made out of people Mads was perfect to play the entire character of Hannibal. You could see that his patients would trust him and thinks he cares about helping them, but also as an audience see that he's ready to slit their throat. I'm a life long Hannibal fan, the books, the movies, kinda the show (they butchered the books for plots it hurt me to watch), but when it comes to portraying every side of the character -believably- Mads did it best. And I feel like its sacrelige to say but

Two different iterations of Lecter. And they are both peerless.

Still waiting for season 4 here 🥲

Like...what more can he do after that? Bond's nuts are probably butter at that point, but It completely takes the wind out of Chiffre's sails to tell him he don' scratched his balls 😂

@Peter Kratovil It's a ridiculous plan in Skyfall though, all that timed tube train nonsense. Casino royale actually feels plausible, outside of the magic health kit in the car. But Skyfall is very pretty. Wanna hear a secret? _whispers_ When taken with casino, I really like Quantum of Solace.

And, growing up reading the books, the fundamentally broken man that is bond is Craig to a t. He just _is_ bond to me. And it was very satisfying to see him in proper navy gear in time to die.

Would you mind ? 😅😂

@@wattsnottaken1 _"I've got a little itch. Down there. Would you?"_

I agree 100%!!

He’s total eye candy 🍭

DILF

Omg he's gorgeous!

I agree. During the Hannibal series you definitely get to understand how everyone is able to fall for him and into his traps. Because I would definitely do the same. He seems genuinely nice and caring. But is the scariest ever, underneath.

"almost rooting for the character?" i was basically kneeling at hannibal's altar

No. Mads didnt go into acting later in life. He did a lot of movies when he was younger. Three of my faves are Pusher 1&2 and King Arthur. He was only 30 when he was cast in his first role in Pusher in 1996. He's done 57 films.

Aaaaaa so glad to see you here!!

Damn Mox. Out of all places, wasn't expecting to see you here

Mads’s our Lad

Hi I recommend checking out an indie song called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix

I always thought Tim Hardy would make a great rogue 00 Agent.

@@MaxwellAerialPhotography or a good Blofeld

Tom Hardy would make a good anything! He always rocks!

Tom can do anything.

It's my favorite modern bond movie, so much build up, surprises, awesome chases, mads, I can watch it again and again

And "You Know My Name" is the best Bond theme song. RIP Chris Cornell.

Goldfinger, GoldenEye and Casino are the top 3 films from the franchise. Whatever order you place them after that is up to you. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that each of them have an antagonist that’s more human and more plausible than the over-the-top supervillains found in other entries.

@@Lang7 I agree they are my 3 favorite

Vesper lynd is the best bond girl

@@longinuscyclone213 Yeah absolutely.

RIP Gaspard. Sorely missed.

Mads is an European and has not succumb to the glitz of Hollywood money.

They did pick the most recent oscar winner, come to talk about it.

Only in the us

Mads wasnt relatively unknown when he did Casino Royale. He's done over 57 films. He was quite well known by the rest of the world,just not America yet. His first film,Pusher,was done in 1996.

You can double your money! He had one eye in Valhalla Rising, The three musketeers and Polar - a bleeding eye in Casino Royale ... and weird eyes in Doctor Strange! ;-)

He also has weird eyes in the video game Death Stranding.

Have you seen "Hunted"? It's a Danish movie where Mads plays a really nice primary school teacher. Unfortunately, he's too nice and one of the kids gets infatuated with him. He does the professional thing and spurns her advances, which the 7-year-old takes as rejection She saw some porn on her brother's tablet - and tells the head mistress that Mad's got his cock out, and it looked really big (just like in the porn vid) From then on, Mads is in all sorts of trouble - literally being "hunted" by his community - they think he's guilty, even though - even in the eyes of the law - he isn't. It's yet another superb performance.

Pusher was really his breakout role as Tonny. Both films,1&2. People here in the states began to pay attention then.

I was thinking the same.

“Felix Leeeeeter”

Glad someone wrote this. Also, more of a nitpick, but their bets aren't the "blinds" going up.

Yeah I am with it JT Smith on this one This video feels rushed

Thanks. I can relax now.

me too

Ya know,there have actually been 3 Casino Royale movies. The one with Peter Lore(the first one-1954),then the comedy with Peter Sellers(as Evelyn Tremble-1967),and now Mads(2021).

Hmmm Eva Green and Mads Mikkelsen starred together in The Salvation in 2014, a danish western. It also has Mikael Persbrandt playing his brother and Jonathan Pryce playing the undertaker.

I mean the film presents him as a moderate but mid level flunky whose failures are going to get him whacked by his bosses Again he literally had to be saved by james and at one point otherwise his African partners were going to dismember him and his girlfriend, he’s not treated by the film even as the main villain but a high level henchmen, but still a hencmen which undermines him a bit. His death isn’t even the climax of the film, that’s alter on in Venice with the other lesser henchmen His own film shows and states he’s not even the most terrifying or threatening person in there Mr white who caps him and his entire group and the fact that it is implied that the bosses/ the people Mr White work for are far more powerful and connected that they will have Le chefe killed simply cause they no longer have confidence in him is more terrifying in my opinion. He’s a great character but the best or most terrifying, not even by a long shot, and his own movie even contends that.

haha saaame!

Such an amazing show!!!! From the performances, to the writing, directing, cinematography?!?! Straight perfection, on level all its own. Never thought it got the love it truly deserved....just too dark, and heavy for network television. NBC, and then Netflix, really dropped the ball by not promoting this show more. Would have LOVED a few more seasons. Although, on second thought, maybe it's a good thing that it went out when it did...well before it had a chance to get bad...a la, "Game of Thrones", or "The Walking Dead"!?!? *A couple other NBC shows that deserved better are, "Life", and what I think is the best cop show ever, "Southland"!!! HIGHLY recommend checking them out.

@@mariannecontrino6297 Thanks. I'll be checking out Southland. Have you seen s1 of True Detective? It's a must.

@@roel.vinckens I'd recommend also happy and leonard, fair warning it's a different kind of show but with great dialogue and acting

Never thought I'll say this but I'm almost tempted to see new Fantastic beasts movie only because of him

I wish Bond gave him the password of "shakennotstirred"

Global warming denier.

Agreed I think Casino Royal and Skyfall are the pinnacle of the Bond franchise.

That’s largely because, like “Russia,” the script stuck close to the original book, and then expanded on it a bit to make it more cinematic.

Never forget the part Chris Cornell's song played. Still the best Bond song ever, sorry Adele.

@@Literarydilettante In fact the film noir b/w opening was genius. A throwback to “The Maltese Falcon,” “The Third Man,” and early Hitchcock. And apt, since the original book took place in the post-war era when Europe was cleaning out Nazis only to be faced with Stalinists. And it’s occurred to me that going from b/w in the prelude to color when the main story starts may have gotten nabbed from “The Wizard of Oz!” Just a thought.

Casino Royale is the best Bond by a mile, I agreed - To add to the analysis of why that is: *It's the first Bond to be more raw and a man's man then a pretty boy spy womanizer* Daniel Craig was still that good looking charming witty spy, _BUT HE NEVER PLAYED ON TO THOSE TRAITS._ His main focus is completing his tasks as a spy, and his charm and romance with females was never felt like a womanizer on his own mission to seduce them, but as an organic interest because of the man he really is, his personality and genuine mystique. And lastly, it was the first Bond to show true vulnerability and weakness. But those are also strengths, because it humanized the character to be a real person. Like when Bond got poisoned and ran out of time to plug his _"defibrillator"_ into his heart, only to be saved by Vesper. It shows he needs good people to help him too, not this unstoppable escape any catastrophe by himself but also a pompous pretty boy womanizer, which I'm glad the franchise shifted away from.

Hi I Recommend a song Called: 'The Bond Villain' by Robert Nix

Yuppp

A dingy is a small row boat,..without a lower deck. It's merely like a boat you'd see someone out on a creek fishing in.

@@xScooterAZx A Dinghy is a small boat, Dingy means dirty.

@@DarthVader-1701 Yes,dinghy means small boat. My mistake for leaving out the h in it. XD Thanks for catching that.

Same here!

The same guy whole slipped Bond the poison in his drink. Makes sense.

@@mikepastor.k6233 From the setup I think it was Le chiffre's girlfriend, the one that almost got her arm cut off, that slipped Bond the poison. She was right next to the drink when it got picked up and brought over to Bond. And she did the whole slow-turn-stare like her presence there was important.

This is not correct, Vesper tipped him off, as found out later in Quantum of Solace....

@@jakedickson697 Ahh. Never watched that one. Until recently I'd only ever watched Casino Royale. Still. Main point stands: Le Chiffre's tell was real.

@@djsosonut I thought only Vesper and Mathis were at the bar where Bond's drink was set. It doesn't show who did it but both could have. In fact I have to watch again because I'm not sure..

And the infamous "Felix Leader"....

GoldenEye does an exceptional job at providing seriousness alongside over the top theatricals. You have scenes like Alec, standing in a graveyard of Soviet-era statues, detailing the British government's atrocities against his family, paired with Bond piloting a tank through St. Petersburg while adjusting his tie. Plus, there's a "vintage" feel to it that none of the other Brosnan Bond films have. I really like The World's not Enough as well. It's definitely less serious, but absolutely hilarious. Great characters IMO, especially Zukasky.

@@JoeNoshow27 I think all they had to do was stick with that certain archetype/themes of Goldeneye, instead they went back to fantastic weird shit that lacked the humour of old james bond and came off as cringey and autistic. tommorow never dies is a great example of a plot and cast that seemed like it could be good but it was terribly executed. It also should be noted that I think a Bond Villain should always be a mirror physically and mentally for Bond and not involve old men. I mean they really could have gone over the top in a bond movie and involved Area 51, aliens and Egypt and that would be a cool movie. Instead we got Media Moghul trying to start WWIII and North Korean Faceoff as well as something involving oil and nuclear weapons. I mean why not have a Brosnan movie about an ancient Japanese cult creating super soldiers by communicating with interdimensional dragons which is where the Japanese Emperor gets his power and Brosnan has to beat him in a Kunfu battle like Mortal Kombat. Come on Hollywood.

100%, still my favorite bond

Cyclonic rift in response. Get fucked.

Missing that, killed the rest of the investigation of this video

@@sledhead722 A nitpick, but mentioning the boat as a warehouse was small but noticeable.

True .. Just have a look at Gary Oldman for instance...

Same

Absolutely loved him!! The only Hannibal in my opinion...way better than anyone else👍👍
