The ’80s really were a golden age for cinematic jerks, bullies and bad guys. From jocks and loafer-wearing trust funders mocking the underdogs to downright rotten bullies beating up nerds, they added fire to our heroes’ bellies and got us all yelling at the screen.<\/p>\n

Since so many readers enjoyed last week’s challenge to name the ’80s movie from just the best friend<\/a>, I’ve followed it up by making a new picture quiz featuring just the bullies and jerks. I hope you enjoy playing!<\/p>\n
