50 Most Offensive Movie Characters
Rude, racist or relentlessly annoying
Mutt Williams
Why They're Offensive: Already a fanboy target for his association with Transformers , Shia LaBeouf endeared himself to nobody (including, apparently, Harrison Ford) by playing Mutt, a rockabilly skank being groomed as Indy's sidekick and possible successor. We'll choose our own heroes, thanks.
Most Offensive Moment: Finding out that Mutt is literally Indy's (and Marion's) son. No!!!
Steve-O
Why They're Offensive: The wildest of the Jackass crew raised the bar for puerile, dangerous and "not to be tried at home" stuntwork.
Most Offensive Moment: The piece de resistance in Jackass 3D - Steve-O is fired into the air in a shit-filled Portaloo, and then bounces back thanks to a strategically placed bungee cord.
Bella Swan
Why They're Offensive: Bad enough that the heroine of Twilight is a thinly veiled plea for good girls to abstain from sex before marriage. But the way Kristen Stewart plays her makes having a vampire boyfriend look like the most miserable, joyless thing in the world - even after they've shagged.
Most Offensive Moment: With Edward out of the way in New Moon , Bella flirts with having a threesome with werewolf Jacob and human loser Mike, and manages to make even that possibility look unpleasant.
Mr Yunioshi
Why They're Offensive: Mickey Rooney isn't the first person you'd think you cast as Audrey Hepburn's Japanese landlord in Breakfast At Tiffany's . But while we're on the subject, is there any need for Yunioshi to be such a slanty-eyed stereotype at all? Clearly not.

Most Offensive Moment: Whenever Rooney stands at the top of the stairs, screaming "Miss Go-right-ry!" at Holly.
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman
Why They're Offensive: R. Lee Ermey (a real life drill instructor) drew from experience filming Full Metal Jacket to berate Kubrick's hapless would-be Marines into shape with cinema's most inventive tongue-lashings.
Most Offensive Moment: "I bet you're the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around."
Mr Creosote
Why They're Offensive: Some people just don't know when to stop. Terry Jones' ultra-obese gourmand in Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life eats on waffer-theen mint too many and explodes over his fellow diners.
Most Offensive Moment: Mr Creosote pauses to projectile vomit into a bucket by his feet, and then carries on eating.
Babs Johnson
Why They're Offensive: Divine staked her claim as the grossest movie star in America by playing an exaggerated version of herself in John Waters' Pink Flamingos - a dementedly gross gangster hell-bent on being the "filthiest person alive."
Most Offensive Moment: Divine suffering for her art by eating a real dog turd on camera.
Borat Sagdiyev
Why They're Offensive: Bruno and The Dictator 's General Aladeen have their moments, but Sacha Baron Cohen hasn't eclipsed the almighty outrage of using a vehemently anti-Semitic Kazakhstani journalist to prise open American attitudes to the world.
Most Offensive Moment: Borat's naked fight with producer Azamat tests the gag reflex, but the cruellest gag is his escape from a Jewish B&B.
Jar Jar Binks
Why They're Offensive: Is it Jar Jar's dubious Caribbean patois? Or his gormless infantilism? Or the fact that we all walked into The Phantom Menace with sky-high hopes and George Lucas gave us this ?
Most Offensive Moment: Leading the Gungan army against a horde of battle droids. Well, we say leading. What we mean is pissing around and putting his entire species' lives in the balance.
Martin Lomax
Why They're Offensive: Making original ass-to-mouth scientist Dr Heiter look calm and reasonable, obese nobody Martin decides to make his own Human Centipede without any surgical skills.
Most Offensive Moment: In one of many scenes that proved too much for the BBFC, Martin rapes the woman at the end of the centipede with barbed wire.
There's a new Mummy movie on the way from the director of Evil Dead Rise and I just want to know if Blumhouse has called Brendan Fraser yet
Marvel Rivals made Jeff the Land Shark so stinkin' adorable that the MCU is bringing him on as an official hero: "We're all Jeff fans around here. Man is he fun to play"
