IMO I thought Eric was the worst of the two, I didn't think Shooter was nearly as bad compared to Eric.

Eric Gordon was a character in Billy Madison and Shooter McGavin was a character in Happy Gilmore.

I gathered that the OP was aware of that they were in different movies but was asking the question in general based on the fact that both characters are the primary antagonists of their respective films. Personally I think the guy from Billy Madison was worse. I mean he outright attempts to commit muder at one point

I am aware that they were both in two different movies, I was just curious to know who was the worst of the two, I was surprised to see Shooter McGavin listed as one of the biggest douchebag characters in movie history, that was what made me think of this question.

I wasn't paying attention to the usernames and i didn't realize you were responding to yourself.

No dobt eric, the man clda been content with just not being the head of madison hotels, but instead pulls a gun and gets shoot by steve bushemi, shooter macgavin just steals a jacket. A gold jacket. Or was it a green jacket? Who gives a shit.

Eric by far.. he turns flat out into a criminal by the end of his movie. Granted he subtly was one to begin with but he goes insane by the end of it. Commits blackmail numerous times, knocks out his secretary, then he pulls out a gun and threatens murder on Billy and Vernoica. Guy deserved what all he had coming too him, he got off too easy honestly.

Shooter's just a jealous douchebag who can't handle competition. He's awful to Happy's grandma and irritates everyone but sadly he's just a petty loser compared to Eric.

Eric is definitely worse. Shooter’s a douchebag, but Eric’s a complete psychopath.

Travis Cole. I still think his thumb is on that pooch's rear.

I remember Travis Cole in "Dirty Work" I thought he was worse than Shooter McGavin and Eric Gordon combined.

So instead of hitting you he hits Bob Barker, that's perfect. This couldn't have worked out any better.
