Thread Starter 
Bad ass characters that made a lasting impression, but were not the star of the film.

Some of my Favs
Christi from Aliens 4. The retractable guns & his incredibly marksmanship.
Go Go from Kill Bill. Hot, psychopathic, 17 yr old Japanese school girl highly trained in the art of ball & chain weaponry.
Vasquez Aliens. Just bad ass period.
Jaws from James Bond. Them teeth are so cool.
Boba Fett: Loved the look & design.
Jabba the hut. Ruthless
Tex cobb who played the henchmen in Blind Flury. That's not bad for a blind man.
Fireball: The Running man
Billy: Predator

Richard Widmark as Tommy Uto in the "Informer"
Oldie with Victor Mature in lead Best role Widmark ever played.

Good one. Denzel Washington in Training Day was pretty cool too.

Most recently it is Christoph Waltz in Ingloriuos Basterds. His portrayal of Landa was just superb. It's been a while since I've seen a supporting character supersede the main character so completely.

I got to mention the governor of California, Arnuld. Seriously, he was great in Terminator, still the best in the series, in my opinion.

Arnold in Terminator 1. He had a leading role in the sequel but was more bad ass in the first movie.

can I add Riddick in Pitch Black. You may say he had a leading role in that one too of course.

Sigourney Weaver is pretty damn bad ass in the alien movies as well. Gonna have to pick Alien 4 to find her in a "non leading role" anyway.
