Some very good ones I'll add soon... but I didn't want to include animated characters (otherwise Grouchy and Eric Cartman woul've been on the list)
Amon Goth and Hades were pretty icy and detached guys, which made them even more intimidating, can you tell me whether Albert Spica and Mr. Furious are in the same line of behavior, I want guys who get angry pretty often in the movie.

Mr. Furious gets mad as hell at whatever villain is around. Though from this clip you can see it doesn't help him be a better superhero:

And Spica - holy crap!

What is the title about? Is it a quote?
Peter, Champion
Thanks, I didn't catch that at all.
Angriest Movie Characters? Short-Tempered Characters? Characters With a Hair-Trigger Temper?
I thought the MD quote was quite famouq but I dont mind changing the tile :)

I think the MD quote is very famous but I didn't catch it, either. 'Good idea but maybe without the MD quote right next to it, it's not that obvious to all. I like "Characters With a Hair-Trigger Temper" or "Characters on a Hair Trigger" or something like that.
Or "Characters With Anger Management Issues" if you want to use today's psycho- babble P.C. Lingo crap for "Damn A$$****s With A Hair Trigger". (Sorry, couldn't resist angry swearing joke.) but I like a variation of one of rubyfruit's suggestions "Hot Tempered Characters With A Hair Trigger".
Where is the old IMDb markups when you need them? I want to use right now the markup with the shouting face and shaking his fists . Answer: gone with the message boards.

"It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Character? or Role?
Jen, Champion
Don't know about the original but the DeNiro version of Max Cady should DEFINITELY be on this list.
Why Cady? In which scene does he show a hair-triggrr temper? I mean, in the film, hes the onz who makes people angry.
Jen, Champion
All the clips I would show you are restricted on the internet but believe me - the guy has a temper problem. At one point he beds the lawyer's mistress and bites her face off. And the whole ending on the boat is him in an explosive rage.
I've seen the movie several times, this is why I'm asking.
He wanted to hurt the lawyer's mistress from the start, it wasn't out of rage, as savage as it was, the act of brutality was calculated. He's a half-human, half-beast psychopathic bastard, but he's in total control of himself and not the subject of impulsive behavior. He carefully plans every move he makes.
As for the explosive rage at the end, it was the culmination of his hatred and anger toward Sam Bowden, the one that turned him into a monster, he had to let everything off for one last confrontation.
Sure, you don't want to make an enemy out of Max Cady but I don't know... to call it a hair-trigger temper would be a stretch in my opinion.
That said, I'm really 50/50 on Cady, I might add him after all once I rephrase my question (since I also have to change the title)

I'm going to have to disagree with your statement "As for the explosive rage at the end, it was the culmination of his hatred and anger toward Sam Bowden, the one that turned him into a monster, he had to let everything off for one last confrontation." If I remember both the orginnal movie and the remake correctly, Bowden or the police officer describe Cady's orginnal crime as brutal and sadistic with torture in it. Cady got joy and pleasure out of watching his victims suffer especially pyschologically. In short, Bowden didn't make Cady into a monster. The monster was there along. It was that cady had to learn self control in prison in order to get out and get revenge on Bowden. Rage and anger are behind every bit of his actions - even his acts of psychological torture.

Good list! - So good it makes it difficult to choose just one. The results should be interesting.

Metanoia! $5 word from Miss Ruby!
I'm going to suggest some character the you can use to replace some characters, especially, Gny. Sgt. Hartman whose mind was really on sex. He was just acting like the stereotypical Marine drill sergeant who supposed to do that in order to tear down a little bit of the recruit's personality in order to make a disaplined soldier. It is that he goes way off on the sex angle.
Of the characters I'm going to suggest, one might not make it because he is a mob boss who orders others to do his work for him and therefore, violent enough. But make no mistake about it. He is barely keeping his anger in check... Doyle Lonnegan and also Lt. Wm. Snyder from "The Sting."
Popeyes Doyle from The French Connection.
The Bond villains: Largo from "Thunderball" and "Never Say Never Again".
Franz Sanchez And Dario in "Licence to Kill"
Two face from the Batman movies. (Even the toddlers said he had some serious anger management issues.)

That was mean to say "The Riddler". (How in the hell did auto correct change that to Toddlers'? I hate auto correct.

Looking at the results right now, I'm not sure it was a good idea to add the Hulk, I don't know how it'll look in the a few hours but given how popular comic-book characters are, I should have focused on real live-action characters. All the other ones were 'realistic' characters.
