nice additions.. keeping with the gremlins theme, Daniel Clamp in Gremlins 2 is pretty smarmy...

And good old Bernie Lomax makes a corporate come back as Uncle Max in 'Side Out'!

Wait.. what about bad guy real estate developer Mr. Douglas wanting to bulldoze Miracles in "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo"?

And let me throw in old man P.J. Sands that threatened to layoff Jeff's dad in "Girls Just Want To Have Fun"

And let's not forget the Duke brothers either, well heeled and established slimes who have no qualms about playing around with people's well (or unwell) being just for the sheer fun of it.

This thread made me realize that I really love corporate slimeball characters. They are very important in many 80s movies and they get some great lines.
