Mona Demarkov
This Russian mobster was not content to sit around waiting for Death to find her. Once she was brought into town in custody, a snitch named Jack (Gary Oldman) told the bad guys, led by the Don (Roy Scheider), just where she was so they could finish her off. However, she had escaped and the disappointed Don ordered Jack to kill her himself. Heh, right.
Mona was sexy, beautiful, and deadly, all wrapped in a tight little crazy package. She didn't care who got in the way of her plans, which were pretty simple: get free and take out the Boss who wanted her dead. Jack was no problem to get away from given his weakness for long legs and drop-dead gorgeous babes, and the Don soon found himself in a hollow unmarked grave.
It wasn't until she faked her death in a fire, however, that her insanity truly peaked. She lopped off her own arm and threw it into the fire with a dead body (Jack's mistress!) to try to throw the authorities off her trail. Once the heat got too hot, however, she found herself on the side of the law, selling out Jack and his crimes in a deal with the Feds.
Her ending was not the type a villain like hers deserves, in my opinion, but allowed her to become all the more haunting in the Jack's memory. If she can't get him in life, she will haunt him in death. Stunningly gorgeous and violent, Mona is about as nuts as they get.
INTELLIGENCE - 7: A step ahead of everyone after her. Knew just what to do to get what she wanted.
POWER - 6: Above average for most women, particularly for her ability to take pain.
VILENESS - 9: If you thought burying her enemies alive was bad, look what she did to Juliette Lewis... and herself.
SWAY - 7: Incredibly sexy. Lured Jack into her trap without much of a problem.
PURITY - 9: Her plans were to get free and take out her former boss. She just about accomplished both before she was done.
PHYSICAL - 8: Incredibly beautiful with great taste in a wardrobe, she was alluring and had a great evil laugh.
TOTAL: 46
