Film has given us plenty of villains to love, to hate, or perhaps to love to hate. The Joker, Smokey from Smokey & the Bandit, and that One Dude that Kept Showing Up in the Matrix Movies until I got bored & turned it off. All classic villains and totally unforgettable.
However one villain is perhaps the most misunderstood of them all. He had a simple objective - he just wanted to be the best until the 'hero' came along and stopped him. And he had some of the finest lines in movie history. I'm talking of course of Shooter McGavin from Happy Gilmore. Nobody knew the tour like Shooter and nobody wanted that gold jacket more than he.
Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you Shooter.
Let’s get one thing straight, this is Shooter’s tour. I’ve worked hard my whole life, paid my dues, and now it’s Shooter’s turn. And Shooter’s not about to let his reign at the top be spoiled by some freak, a sideshow clown.
Well real estate speculation is a hobby of mine.
I saw Doug playing the other day and I gotta tell you: Doug spends more time in the sand than David Hasselhof.
I saw two fat naked bikers off seventeen in the woods havin sex. How'm I sposed to CHIP with that goin on, Doug?
You know what'd be great? If I could get a Pepsi. Oh, and, miss? Diet?
Although one of you gets to be my colleague, all of you are now my friends.
I tell ya the real winner today is the city of Portland. Everytime I come here it gets harder to leave. I think you guys put something in the water!
Hey Gilmore, don't worry about your grandma. She can come live with me -- be my maid.
Take one more step, I burn the house and piss on the ashes.
Reporter: Shooter, what did you think about Happy Gilmore?
Shooter: I don't know, I was too busy WINNING.
Reporter: Ya gotta admit, that's a hell of a drive, 450 yards.
Shooter: Oh yeah, how'd he finish? Dead last? Oh yeah, he had a good day though. Thanks.
