Top Five: Christmas Action Movies
4) Bad Santa (2003)
Wino Santa Billy Bob Thornton goes around setting himself up for the year by robbing malls at Christmas, using his midget partner to sneak through the airshafts. I mean, come the fuck on. He lives by the ‘Three B’s’; Bullshit, Buttfucking and Booze. This is a good example of a movie that could’ve easily been forcibly rewritten as a family caper, to try and squeeze out a few more PG bucks. If that had happened, it would’ve been shit. It’s probably the only movie where the old unwilling father figure thing actually works too. The Coens were involved in this movie, probably explaining why it’s so fucking funny. No punches pulled, maybe up to 40% of the dialogue is comprised of nonstop swearing. Why did they cancel the sequel to this? More!
