In all cases, I named where the villain was from, not another name for the villain. I also didn’t mean that Grand Moff Tarkin was called Star Wars, or that Ellis DeWalt was called Beverly Hills Cop III, or that Bebop and Rocksteady were collectively known as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Would this Santino be from Interview With The Vampire, then?

Gabriel- If we’re talking archangels here, I’d take this to be Christopher Walken’s over the top, ass-kicking, leather pants wearing Gabriel from The Prophecy.

Top “Caw, caw, bang, fuck I’m dead!” Dollar- The Crow

How about these (probably easy) ones:  
Lord Kane  
Ricardo Diaz

Papa Joe

Mr. Barlow is from _Salem’s Lot_.
