I would love to see the police footage of when the bad guy's actually escape a chase...

Come on Carlito's Way shouldn't count because he wasn't a pure good guy and killed other guys and helped kill others as well and was pretty much a gangster and dealer at one point or another so him getting killed by another bad guy doesn't count. Most gangster movies have all bad guys and then one worse bad guy killing a slightly nicer bad guy or some tragidy which happens to the nicer bad guy.

I wanna see some movies with some pure good guys who you would expect to see win goes out and gets his ass kicked and killed by a pure bad guy so there is some mystery to to the story lines which are too predictable now at days.

The Passion Of The Christ was based on a true story and we know what was going to happen already but it would have been cool if Jesus got all pissed and kicked everyones ass and beat them with a big cross and stabbeb them with the crown of thorns then tarred and feathered them and crusified and torchured all the people who wanted to crusify him That would have been some really unexpected stuff and a suprising story line indeed

for all this time, i thought the thread title read:

"Do the BALD guys ever win in movies?"

Ocean's Eleven... sorta, they weren't portrayed as bad-guys, but they WERE criminals...

I think what we're really looking for is when the protagonist with noble qualities (so no gangsters or lawbreakers) get the crap kicked out of him/her by the antagonist.

only one I can think of is Arlington Road.

There's also this chinese movie called "infernal affairs" which they are remaking in hollywood. but the bad guy isn't really evil.

No no no!! Yes it's true that BALD guys should never win in movies but thats a whole nother subject

I'm tired of all these good guys winning all the time and it's time to mix things up instead of giving us the same predictable crap to watch.

What about Mystic River?

WARNING: DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS MOVIE

Tim Robbins is the good guy in this movie. (He's got issues, yes, but who wouldn't after what he went thru as a kid) And ends up being shot by Sean Penn. Mind you Sean Penn isn't the bad guy per se because he's driven by rage to avenge his daughters death but still...

Awesome movie, IMO. Totally not what you expect. Not predictable at all!

and yes, mystic river is one of my faves in recent memory. But dont watch it when you are already sad.

Mystic River does not count people!!!!

Had Tim Robbins actually been the one who killed Sean Penn's daughter and been a true bad guy who was at heart evil and then got into a big fight at the end with Sean Penn and which would have ended with Tim Robbins kicking Sean Penn's ass and killing him then that would have been a scenario where a truly bad guy beat a truly good guy but thats not what happened and Sean Penn killed a guy who he thought was guilty and actually wasn't

I still give the movie full marks for having an unexpected story line which was un predictable and not what people expected to happen
