10. Ma-Ma (Dredd)

Performed by Lena Headey, Madeline Madrigal, aka Ma-Ma, explains why being a good guy in a movie, or in her case a good-girl, is so passé.

Don’t let her warm maternal name fool you, Ma-Ma is nothing but a ruthless, ferocious and merciless dictator and tyrant, who as one magazine stated “makes Tony Montana look like a stockbroker.”

She started her criminal career as a sociopathic prostitute and finished extracting a cruel revenge on the pimp responsible for her badass facial scars, taking over his empire in the process, thus becoming one of the most feared drug lords in Mega-City One.

“All clan, every level, hunt the Judges down. Everyone else, clear the corridors and stay the fuck out of our way until the shooting stops. If I hear of anyone helping the Judges, I will kill them and the next generation of their families. As for the Judges… sit tight, or run. It makes no difference, you’re mine,” – Ma-Ma.
