Revenge of the Nerds is one of my favorite comedies. And Stan Gable is a great villain. He is the perfect douche bag jock. You know the one that made sure to pick on everyone in school. There is some deleted scenes from the film where you learn that Stan's brother is a nerds and I am happy these scenes were cut. They humanize Stan way too much.
Michael Rooker's early role and one of his best is as infamous serial killer Henry Lee Lucas. Lucas in the film is pure evil. He knows what right and wrong are and doesn't care. Rooker's wife has talked about how when the movie was being filmed she found out she was pregnant and didn't tell Rooker because he got so deep into character.
At least in the original film Leatherface is like a kid gone wild. He shows no remorse and seems to be nothing but a raging ID. The later films have tried to change this somewhat. And that is part of the reason they are held in as high a regard as the original.
Porky is the perfect movie version of the big fat ass loud mouth southern guy. Who has way too much power because a family member is sheriff. By the end of the first film you are cheering for the guys from Angel Beach High to destroy Porky's place.
The best villains do not think they are villains. And also the best villains are never truly explained.Which describes the Tallman perfectly. We never get a good explanation for why he does what he does.And even in the fourth film when we get a partial origin for him,we still do not fully understand his motives.
